After the lecture, with few male mem bers present. $375.00 worth of stamps were sold, ana 551 0Q ' worth were pledged. ' Everyone present were enthui siascic and I am sure will dp heir bit.. H.

Today they come dressed in good apparel, and on the stage, or on the street show that. they are receiving even better trai n ing than a large majority of their" brothers and .sisters who are blessed with living pare its. -This' institution was founded by the ; Masons and is yet kept up by them, but it : is something that all North Carolina iptoud of, and grows prouder of every Keep pehind It.
