WESTERLY AND SUBURBAN POINTS
High School Frats Supposedly Suppressed Still in Existence Death of Mrs. Charles A. Morgan-Chrstmas Day Weddings-Mistuxet Encampment Elects Officers.

As a result of the combined efforts of the Westerly school committee and the superintendent of schools, the se cret societies of the Westerly High school. and there are three of them, were supposedly put out of existence. However. the societies still exist and flourish like unto the biblical green bay tree. The members of the H. T. s. society held their annual banquet at Peters Spa, beginning at ten o'clock the earlier part of the evening having beGl spent with the Misses Buffum at their home in Main street This so- ciety is composed of young ladies, and, as a matter of course, the doings at the banquet and preceding social ses- sion are kept strictly secret The an- nual session of the H. T. s. club was held Tuesday evening in Caledonian hall and next Saturday evening the members of the M. V. C. society will banquet in Elks hall.
 In order to avoid expulsion, those members who attended the school at the time the official decree of dis bandment was proclaimed by the school authorities, agreed not to so- licit membership from among the stu dent body, and this agreement, so far as known. has not been violated, and public limitations are no more. But there was nothing in the agreement that was binding upon the members of the societies that were beyond the pale of the school authorities, there fore the new members are now select ed from among the graduating classes

 While Westerly has the distinction of producing the largest and best oi turkeys, it now comes to the fore with the most scrawny and lightest of al birds known to turkeydom. This apology had legs and neck longer than the usual, while the body was about the size of q small bantam. The dead weight of this particular turkey was less than two pounds.
 During Christmas day this mon- strosity changed hands many times each buyer being intent on evening up with some other easy mark Finally the bird passed into the possession o1 a colored man, who declared he would take 1t to his home to give his cal an appetite for square meal.
