A NEW SOCIAL CLUB.
and It Was Organized
Last Night.
A LIST OF THE OFFICERS
Orraslxed for the Purpose of Contrlbntlnr
to Enjoyment of a Limited Number of
. Members Series of Entertain,
meats Given Each Year.
"The Assembly" is the name of a
new social club organized in Wil
mington last evening and one that
promises to contribute largely to so
ciety's gaiety each year. The organi
sation was under most favorable
auspices and attended by much enthu
siasm. Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows:
President Mr. Gabriel Holmes.
Vice President Mr. T. M. Emerson.
Secretary and Treasurer Mr. Geo.
L. Peschau.
Leader Mr. H. H. Mcllhenny
Board of Governors Messrs Gabriel
Holmes. T. M. Emerson. Geo. L.
Peschau, Frank
Chase, Warren
Lippitt, George
H. Stedman, H.
M.
H.
G. Elliott, D.
Rountree and J.
J.
Blair.
The purpose of the club is to give a
limited number of entertainments and
dances each season and, although
young, will advance rapidly to the
front rank of social organizations in
the' city.
Last night the plans of the club
were discussed at some length and the
salient features of a constitution and
by-laws were decided upon. The
membership will be of an ezolusive
natura and the number of members
will be restricted. All the functions
given under the auspices of the club
will be of an elaborate nature, but
fewer in number than is generally
given by similar organizations in the
city. The age limit of members is
twenty-five and the membership will,
therefore, be of the older set of society
young people.
The first of a series of entertain
ments will be given during the Christ.
mas holidays and another, most prob
ably, during the Eastertide.
The Assembly" already has upon
its roll of membership some of the
most prominent young people of the
city and will no doubt be a welcome
addition to the society realm of the
Cape Fear.
Meetings of the club will be held at
stated intervals.

was a large wreath of white roses in
the center of which was a miniature
Confederats flag.
After the seryices at the church the
funeral cortege moved slowly to beau
tiful Oakdale cemetery, where all that
was mortal of the distinguished lady
was committed to earth beneath a
mound banked with beautiful flowers

ARRANGEMENT COMMITTEE.
Orgsnizstion Less Than a Year Old, Bnt
It is Very Mnch Alive Meeting Last
Night st Which the Event Was
Thoroughly Discussed.
A poultry and pet stock show will.
be given in Wilmington during the
first week in January. .
That will be welcome news indeed
b'fanciers throughout Eastern North
Carolina and the success of the ven
ture is vouched for by the Wilming-.
ton Poultry and Live Stock Associ
ation, which was organized in this
city a little less than a year ago with,
a competent corps of officers, and an
outlook that willirove its brightness
when the fair cornea on.
The decision to give the show was
reached last night at an enthusiastic
meeting of the Association held at the
Bonitz Hotel upon which there were
in attendance a iroodly number of
members, whose enthusiasm knew no
bounds.
ATI preliminaries will, of course,
have to be discussed later, but it is
enough to know that the - fair will be
held and that behind the project are
some of the best known fanciers in the
city and county.
After a decision to hold the show
was reached at the meeting last night
the next step was to appoint a com
mittee of arrangements and commit to
their keeping all the details of the
show. This committee was appointed
as follows: 8. J. Davis. Frank L.
Huggins and John C. Boescb. These
gentlemen will decide upon a location
for the show and arrange all other
preliminaries of whatsoever nature. In
tbe meantime, the committee will not
be without the counsel of the Associa
tion as a whole, for it was decided at
the meeting last night to gather each
Friday night for the purpose of con
ferring with the committee until after
the show.
The Association expects to show
about 100 coops of fancy poultry.
Belgian hares, etc., and the railroads
will be petitioned for reduced rates.
as before stated the Asssociation is
less than a year old but it numbers
among its members half a hundred of
enthusiastic poultrymen who will put
forth their very best effort to make
the show the splendid success that it
no doubt will be. The officers of the
Association are as follows:
President E. P. Bailey.
Vice President A. C. Sneed.
Secretary and Treasurer W. C.
Armstrong.
Assistant Secretary and Treasurer
W. EL McEachern.
