FAIRFIELD GIRLS tLUB.

zz & FAIRFIELD GIRLS +LUB. 1 At their annual meeting in Saum' s block last week, the Fairfield Girls i club discussed at length their fnten- | ton of giving play some time III April. Much enthusiasm was shown l by the club members when the 1oea | of putting on 8 play was first broaen- ed It was shown that someth1ngs out of the ordinary in the way of en- ltertainment was necessary to keep in 1 terest in the clubs welfare. Whie the members recognize the pleasure
 they derive by getting together at their
 meetings, having social talks, etc. | it was necessary to occasionally inject something in the way of entertainment as an incentive for making additional members Thus the idea of play Twas first talked of. It seemed to be. l the general opinion of those present 1 at th meeting that g play, made up. entirely of home talent, would be the 1 proper thing. The matter was not en- l tirely settled at the last meeting or l the girls, but the probabilities are that home talent would be able to give 1 something in the line of entertainment 1 at the town hall along about April The St. Valentine dance was reported
 as progressing smoothly towards prov l ing financial and social success.

It is intended to get control of 1 the marsh land owned by the Jelliffe family adjoining the Lee property, thereby making in all about 200 acres of land to be controlled by the club.
