L. H. C. Club No. 1
The R. B. L. Book Club en
tertained the L. H. C. Club No. 1
on Thursday night, March 7th,
with an interesting program. At
tractive program booklets were
given out containing an outline
of the following program:
Club song; Devotional, in charge
of Mary Etta Laffoon, following
which a short business sesssion
was held. Two clever stunts were
presented by members of the
Book Club. Dr, J. G. Abernethy
was the guest speaker and used
as his subject “Reading Better
Literature.” This proved very
helpful and instructive. The
meetitng closed with the singing
of the club song. Each member
brought something for the kitchen
at this meeting.
At the meeting of the club held
at the club house on March 14th
an old fashioned sewing circle
was held, each member bringing
a tea towel which she hemmed
and gave to the club house kitch
en.
Reports were heard from the
oyster stew given on Wednesday
night which were favorable. It
was decided to have something of
this kind often, since the em
ployees have no way of getting a
hot supper.

her wedding March 9, was Miss
Venie Lou Reynolds, attractive
daughter of Mrs. J. E. Reynolds,
of Sparta.
Florence Scott, Bessie Layell,
Lizzie Mathis, Clyde Shugart and
Cora Oliver. The membership
contest closed with Thursday’s
meeting and Mrs. Beatrice Wil
lard was declared the winner. A
new project has been started to
raise money to buy a piece of
furniture for the clubhouse. The
members are having a lot of fun
with this, as well as making
quite a bit of money to be added
to the present treasury. Follow
ing the Bible lesson taught by
our leader, the meeting came to a
close with the club benediction.
The report of the welfare com
mittee for February is as follows:
Club members visited, 6; cards
sent to sick, 8; 1 basket of fruit

2nd, by the president of the club,
Mrs. D. C. Gilliam, in honor of
the members, their husbands and
boy friends. Games and contests
called “Progressive Kitchen” were

BETTER BLANKETS
Sometime ago the importance of
doing efficient work so bore
upon my mind.
That I wrote a poem to the
Blanketeer along that line.
I realize that the gist of my poem
is coming to pass,
As we are making blankets now
of a much better class.
We have quality men now both
day and night.
Just to see that the work is all
done right.
If they find that bad filling is
being spun.
Right then an investigation has
begun.
As soon as the card that run it is
found,
They proceed at once to shut it
down.
If they find filling that is running
heavy or light.
They get busy at once and get it
right.
If bad filling is found at a loom
Right then and there it has met
its doom.
We also have filling inspectors
that examine it again.
When the filling haulers bring it
in.
If it is alright in every way.
They give their approval by the
mark “O.K.”
This is the best move the com
pany has made.
To make blankets of a higher
grade.
The trade now demands the very
best,
So we must make blankets that
will stand the test.
Chatham Homespun is made in
the same efficient way,
Therefore among the dressy peo
ple is taking the day.
If it is an up-to-date suit they
want to buy.
Chatham Homespun will catch
their eye.
