The knights of Pythias had very

On-Thursday evening, in the High
SC hool auditorium, the Parent
Teachers Association will hold a meet
ing, at which Miss Emily Halsey
Suydam, of Elizabeth, will speak on
Personal cleanliness. Miss Suydam
is very Interesting talker and has
made study of subjects that are of
vital importance to the town and its
families. Every parent should attend
this meeting. There seems to be an
idea that these gatherings are exclusive
ly for few people. This is not the
case. Every parent who has child in
school as well as every citizen inter-
ested in the welfare of the school is in
vited and earnestly requested to be
present. All parents should come out
and give their views on anything con-
nected with the school and if they do
not care to talk they can listen and
possibly be greatly benefited by what
they hear. Let the meeting on Thurs
day evening be the best we have yet
had.
The famous Carlisle-Pierpont wet
and dry dialogue debate will be given
in the First Methodist church, Mount
Holly, tomorrow evening. Our citi-
zens are fortunate in having an op-
portunity to hear this debating team.
They have never given the debate to
any community where they have not
had an invitation for a return engage
ment. This is an unusual testimonial.
Both the vets and drys will have an
inning telling their best arguments in
the debate. Pierpont assemblies in
pungent form the familiar arguments
favorable to booze and against local
option and prohibition, and his friend,
Carlisle combats them with facts, con-
vincing and humorous. DIR. o. Bell
Close impersonates John Carlisle, an
iattorney and a candidate for the
SENATE. M. s. Poulson takes the role
| of Alexander Pisrpont, big bushes
magnate, proprietor of newspaper
and prominent church official. Car
Isle calls upon Pierpont at his Office to
secure his help in his campaign.
These two characters are old college
chums, having been at Harvard to-
gether. The whole entertainment liz
amusing and interesting. Don't miss
it. There will be no admission charge,
and everybody over Is years of age is
invited. The hour OF the meeting has
been changed from 8.15 to p. m.
Mrs. w. r. Trowbridge has consented
to sing solo, and in this way add to
the enjoyment of the evening.
