you can blame it on the Ladies' Aid So
ciable, held in the auditorium Tues
day night. Somehow we just could not
get away. Mrs. A. V. Schaffer as chair
man kept the program going so fast
and furious that it wasn't possible to
get up and leave. Anyhow we were
sorta busy looking at wondering at
the costumes. We hope they will have
another sociable soon and we also
hope that Pastor Gamblin will get his
new suit. That's where we had to
leave Just as the ladies decided to
get the suit, even tho they did have
only 27 cents in the treasury. How
ever, we rather think that Sister Can
non and the other sisters will take
care of that.
Well, Mickey's Band certainly came
through with flying colors. Winning
first place at Westover was no small
feat They had plenty Of competition.
Time Marches On
From the Town Clerk we get tax
Oil With the bill there is much litera
ture- First we look at a personal letter
from the Mayor and Council. This tells
Us all that has been accomplished by
the new administration. Seven i'm
pyOVements are described and there is
enclosed a blank for any person taking
roomers or boarders or desiring to
sell or rent their property. This is to
De filled in and filed with the town
officials. In case they may sell or rent
or otherwise aid you in realizing a
profit on your property they ask that
a small sum shall be donated by you
for the erection of town hall. This is
to be called the Town Hall Building
Fund. Just to find out if all the litera-
ture in the tax envelope was true we
decided to see if the tax collector
really was in the town council chamber
each evening from 7:30 to 8:30-he
Das.
Many of the old timers are reminded
Of the old days when they saw the ball
diamond at the station. 1t is a pretty
good diamond Many of the people
have suggested that Mountain Lake
should have regular nine. Certainly
there is plenty of material here, and
what is more worthwhile than giving
the youth something of this sort.
During the winter it might be a good
idea TO work out that basketball team.
Mountain Lake Park has a future.
1t cap and will be revived, for there are
many working to that end and they are
ali pulling in the same direction. Miss
Huff is the leader in many of these
movements and she can see much
farther ahead than we can; she is a
grand person to help the movement
along, which reminds me that she is
putting on a real show next Saturday
bD
4mphitheatre: it will be worthwhile.
The road to Crystal Spring is in fine
condition. Several automobile parties
uf West Virginia folks came in on Sun
day &c get water there. They were de-
lighted to find that they could reach
tha spring without undue trouble. The
Park Improvement Club is doing a
great work in cleaning and improving
1he lake and spring.
