Masonic Club Holds
Annual Ladies, Night

There was large attendance
Thursday night at the annual Ladies
Night OF the Pennington Masonic
club. in the club rooms and adjoining
APARTMENTS in the Masonic block. A
fine banquet was served In the dln-
ing room at 7.30, the tables pelng
well filed. The banquet over, the
remainder of the evening was de-
voted to cards, sociability. and some
interesting entertainment features.
travelling conditions are so bad thai
not many were able to get In from
out of town.
Compared with other sections OF
the east, Franklin county was not
hard hit by the storm Of wednesday
and Thursday night except indirectiy'
only about four inches OF snow fail
ing. There was a high wind and
back roads were drifted badly. and
main roads were in ba shape In
places so that no mails got through,
either coming or going. wednesday
night or Thursday morning, the Au-
gusta and Lewiston snowmobileS be-
ing tied UP again and failing to get
through. This morning. too. fewer
cars were seen in this village tnan
any day this winter.
The coal situation here is the
worst it has been this winter. due
largely to the cancelling or freight
trains during and after the frequent
heavy storms. For some time no coal
of any kind has come in, and those
who are willing to accept hard coal
substitutes have found 1t difficult to
get any kind of coal. Several car
loads are said to be tied up some
where on the way here, but this
doesn't give much relief. There is,
however, plenty of wood in the coun-
try, and weather conditions have
been favorable to the farmers for
hauling. The prices, however. are
high.
An old-fashioned dance in Grand
Army hall Wednesday night was
literally patronized. and proved d
very enjoyable occasion, although
the condition of tine roads kept many
away who had been expected to at
tend. Those present were for the
most part members of the various
patriotic organizations which use
this hall.
There was good attendance
Thursday night at the meeting OF
Alpha Temple, .Pythian Sisters. in
K. of L. hall, at which important
business was transacted.
