C 1. D Carstarphen and her mother, the following items are copied as they appeared in H. J. Herrick's "Martin j County Sun." a newspaper publish ed here in 1894: THE GIRLS THAT USED TO BE" Williamston?1898? Mrs. Charles D Carstarphen was "at home" Tues- j day afternoon to the old time set of girls to which she belonged. There were eight of these girls?seven were present at this re-union. All have grown older, but lack none of their girlish sweetness and attractive man ner. The only situation which was in the least unpleasant, was the sad truth that twot of the "girls" were still not privileged to speak of "my husband" This situation exists eith er from the possession of a super ior knowledge of the desposition of men, or it may be that the men don't know a good thing when they see it. So it happened that the only subject not allowed at this pleasant meeting was husband and chil dren" The hour was spent in re viewing the good old days, when in pinafores they romped and got the joy of living every minute. Mrs. Car starphen served refreshments, such as the "set" loved, and the hours passed all too soon. The "Girls" were Emma Hassell Hoyt, Eliza Lamb Mills, Nora Fow den ?, Ida Hassell Jeffries, Henrietta Peel McCraw, Anna Craw ford ? and Eliza Bennett Carstarphen.
