the New Century Club building.
Many Of those who held stock in the

are few who are not willing to do this
aud insist upon the women Of the

New Century Club has done much TO

has resulted In cleaner streets iu drink

Tolley Hartwick and his brother,
assistant master Marion Hartwick.

where they built a fire in tho old
