Jefferson jimplecute. (Jefferson, Tex.) 1907-1926, 1912-03-28
w. E. T. I.

Harrison Bell, at the Methodist
church. Tuesday evening under
the auspices Of the ". G. T. u,
was a very helpful and instruct
i've one, showing the speaker to
be a big souled, noble hearted
woman, devoted to the work of
uplifting humanity which is
the work OF the w. G. T. u.
The very appropriate temper
ance songs by the choir and the
children were beautifully rem
dered and were deeply apprecia-
ted and enjoyed. At the close
OF the lecture Mrs. Bell said that
there was a feather that she
wanted to be able to wear away
from Jefferson in her cap, and
that was life membership in
the w. G. II. y. for some lady Of
Jefferson. Such a membership
would be quite an honor and dis
tinction to the one receiving it,
emitting her to many privileges
and cOurtesies in the w. G. II. q.
OF the state, and the member
ship fee would be ten dollars.
When she was sure of raising
this amount, she asked for nomi-
nations for membership, the
honor to be conferred by vote OF
audience on the one who de
served it as an evidence OF love
and appreciation for what she
had done for the cause of TEN
perance. Mrs. G.. A. Stutz was
the fortunate one elected to re
ceive it,
The next afternoon reception
was given Mrs. Bell at the beau
tiful home of Mr.. and Mrs. b. +.
Sherrell and made a most inter
esting talk on the local work of
the W. G. II. u, which should
awaken to more active interest
not only all the members of the
Jefferson Union, but the friends
and sympathizers in the work
the Union has done, is doing and
will continue to do. The lines of
work were assigned to individu.
ais, thereby making each one re-
sponsible for the success or fail
ure of her line of work. Great
stress was laid on this feature.
At the close of the talk, Mrs.
Will Singleton caused much mer-
riment by walking in with two
long turkey feathers and grace
fully placing them in Mrs. Bells
hat, saying that she had hoped
to get one feather in her cap
from Jefferson, but that she
could leave with two. Then
Mrs, Bell in a very sweet way
told what the second feather
meant. 1t was another life

Miss Cinnie Preston then an
nounced that there was another
person that she thought ought to
be honored with life member
ship for the great work that she
had done for the cause of prohibi.
ton here, and that was Miss
Maybelle Hale. As soon at the
applause subsidized, donations
were made until a big part of the
membership fee was raised
and so dear Miss Marine"
could leave Jefferson with a third
one growing.
The Music Club delighted all
hearers with their beautiful cho-
rus, The Swallow" and Rock
in Time" after which we
were invited into the dining
room where a most delicious sal
ad course was served.
