Many Enjoy Legion Ball.

One OF the most generally en-
joyed st. Patrick Day events
at this place was the dance and
supper given at the Fraternal
hall last night by the American
Legion boys. The attendance was
large, the music, by Johnson's or
chestra, was good and the lunch
con served by the ex-service men
was all that could be asked. The
usual spirit Of jolly good nature,
the soldier boys have the knack
of interjecting into all their ell
tertainments, was much in evi-
dence, and its tone was not bit
diminished by songs supplied in
the intermissions by a trio COM
posed Of John Booth, Percy Nc
Kenzie and Allen McCready.

A Fraternal Benefit.

One of the most unique socia
events of the season was giver
Tuesday evening by the socia
committee of the Rebekah lodge
to which the Odd Fellows anc
their friends were invited. The
following program was rendered
Piano duet, by the Misses Rowe
Vocal solo, Harry Smith.
Reading, Miss Lottie Sorenson.
Song, Odd Fellows quartet.
Reading, Miss Mcdaniel.
Song, Odd Fellows quartet.
After the program the time was
spent in dancing. There are no
old people in the Rebekahs, al
though some are younger than
others; none too old to "trip the
light fantasic. -
The committee served hot sand
wiches, doughnuts and coffee.
The neat sum of $35 was realized
which will be sent to the Odd
Fellows Home, now being built at
Caldwell, Idaho.
Those who have visited the
Homes in different states, realize
the good they are accomplishing
and they are surely a credit 70
the order.
The committee in charge of
this social success included Mes
DANES Emerson, Smith, Heston,
Akin. Eggers and Rowe.
Special mention should be made
of the Odd Fellows quartet,
which was very much enjoyed by
all, with their old songs of the
long ago. We feel now that no
program will be complete without
a number from them.

MILL GIRLS MARRY YOUNG
nany Villages In the South Where
There Are Absolutely No Old
Maids Found.

A village without an old maid
sounds somewhat like fairy tale, but
several such places exist down below
the Mason and Dixon line.
"All the women get married In the
mill villages Of South Carolina, and
at an early age" says Y. w. c. A.
Industrial secretary stationed at Green
vile, where she works among the girls
In 13 mills.
Perhaps economic independence has
something TO do with 1t, as marriage
is not looked upon by the girls as a
meal ticket, but as a tifty-ffty PROPOSE
ton. The wives do not give up their
Jobs but keep right on working.
That the textile industry in South
Carolina absorbs a large number of
women as well as men workers is not
surprising considering the fact that
there are as many es Is mills In 20
counties, With the population of the
state estimated at 1,500,015 people, g.
p04 are mill workers, and 190,26S are
dependents on mill pay. The valu-
alton of the mills is $75 100000 and the
weekly pay roll Is $1000,000.
