SS, w. o. W. enjoyed smoker and
luncheon in the camp forest in Stroup
hall last evening. There were about
fifty members present for the occaS-
ion. J. Forest Smith presided ovcE
the exercises of the evening. The p!o-
gramme was one which was very much
enjoyed by all present.
- Mr. Edward Hayes and family or
Blackvile, :. c., have arrived in YORK
VILE. Mr. Hayes who is a baker oil
many years of. experience is TO have
charge of the bakery to be opened
here about December l by w. l.. jam
ison. proprietor of the Shandon Hotel.
Mr.. Jamison has given up the idea OF
installing an electric bakery since he
has learned that the electric outfts
do not give the satisfaction that the
more popular wood and coal furnace
bakeries give. The Shandon Hotel
restaurant will not be moved into the
same building with the bakery as was
originally planned.
Nine candidates were initiated IN
to the mysteries of York Council No;
$50, Jr. o. u. \. VI. at meeting held

non Mil Monday night. Fourteen
members of the crack degree team OF
Glover council were present Tor me

Union Thanksgiving service was
hold at the Episcopal church yester-
dov morning, the sermon of the occas-
ion, being preached by Rev j. Is.
Walker. pastor of Trinity Methodist
church. There was quite a large con-
grcgation out for the service. Thanks
giving was observed generally yestef :
dav in the town. The local banks ana
other business houses were closed; the
postoftce observed Sunday hours and
practically all commerce and industry
was at a stand still. Many Gorkvllle
people left town to spend the day win
relatives and friends elsewhere While
on the other hand there were quite
number of visitors here from other
towns and cities.
- People who have not contributed
to the Red Cross should do so ut once.
To excuse negligence on the ground
that nobody has made a personal soli-
citation is not especially Credltable,
when il is so easy to send Il dollar dl-
rect to Mrs. w. D.SGlcnn for member
ship enrOllment. On the other hand,
the Red Cross chapter can hardly hope
for very general renewal OF member
Ships unless it makes u thorough cam
yass. The canvass so far has only
been partial. 1t should be complete.
The Red Cross is well worth while.
There seems TO be no special need FOR
the organization at the monert; but
every person of reasonable intcln-
gencc should know that the need Is
likely t. arise at any time. Il has beeh
so i'm the past, and it will be 60 IN the
future. So let the community he thor
oughlv canvasscd Give everybody an
opnorturity to contribute or refuse to
contributes.
