eiates. 1t is understood that the mat

resignation will be considered by the
the members are said to favor the inn
mediate appointment of another wo-
man, while others believe that no
action should be taken at this time,

can only hold until the next election.
Mrs. J. G. Mount and Miss Helen
Collins went to Baltimore last Tues
day to attend the national convention
of the Patriotic Order of America. AS
soon as they arrived in that city they
looked up the convention hall and as
they approached the building they
thought that it did not look very in
wiling. The ladies went in and wan
dered around the building until they
found the janitor and asked him if they
were in the right building where the
convention is to be held. The man
gave them a strange look and made
the reply that they were in the right
building but that they were a week
ahead of time. They were two aston
ished looking ladies when that fact
was made known to them. The ianitOT
had some difficulty in convincing them
that they had made mistake in the
dates. They returned home as soon as
possible. Mrs. Mount and Miss Col
Inns left this morning for Baltimore as
delegates from Mount Holly Camp No.
SO, and they no doubt will receive
different welcome than that of last
week. =
