Women's clubs lnvva truly come to
be an Important factor in our social
life. Tnough they have been satirized
and criticized, tieticimced and under
valued, they are probably here to stay.
Kept in bounds, clubs, especially lit
erary clubs, arc oi untold value. Busy
women need something to make them
keep abreast with the times. Clubs,
with their carefully mapped out work,
supply this need. Then there is an in
timacy created that would possibly ex
ist, so well under, no other ciicum
! lances. .
To foster this feeling of good fellow

During its existence of lesVt than
two years- Winston-Salem Aerie has
nrogreshtjd evn beyond the expecta
ions of Its organizers. The charita
ile work of the lodge has not been
taunted, before the publicgaze, but it
has, In its quiet ami unassuming man
ner, accomplished, an untold amount
)f good, brought cheer Ttwl happiness
to many! desolate homes and as the
governor and was himself assassina
ted. At the funeral .-Blackburn - de
nounced Uoebel and said that he had
loved the dead man as a brother and
that It would be his first mission, in
life to hunt down Oio man who had
killed him. '
Only a few years later he made an
address at the funeral of William
Uoebel, in which he eulogized the
dead governor profoundly. Yet so loy
al are-Senator- Blackburn's friends
that they would never admit that
there had been anything Inconsistent
in his altitude.
Senator Blackburn Is a born orator.
The less Intimately he is acquainted
with a subject the more effectively he
?aa expatiate upon It. But he met his
match when he was running for rep
resentative in 1S74 against Ed Mar
shall, a member of the famous . Ken
tucky and Virginia family of that
name and one of the most noted spell-
Dimiers or that day. in those days
the burning question was the condi
tion of the country's finances. Black
burn advocated the Issuance of
'greenback" currency as the certain
jure for all cxlsilng ills. One night
luring ihe campaign he made a sky
rocket speech concerning the finan
cial crisis. Marshall was present. At
the close he rose and said:
"My fellow citizens: When Joe dis
fusses the broail and expansive question-
of 'finance he reminds me of a
luck swimming on the placid bosom
yf a vast lake, drawing something
leas than tvo Inches of water, creat
ing not a- ripple on the surface and
blissfully and defiantly unconscious of
che fathomless depths beneath him."
The joke was on Blackburn, but he
carried the election, . "
Apropos of Senator Blackburn's
fondness for speech -making the fol
lowing story is told of him:
The senator, hud gone with a few of
lis best friends on a Utile outing trip
'.o Ihe banks of the Klkhorn, one of
the tributniies of the Kentucky river.
Ihe food provided could not have
heen more satisfying to tire appetite,
md there was plenty of liquid refresh
ment n. well.
Blackburn, however, did not seem to
e enjoying himself. -One of his
'riends, noticing his moodiness, asked
lini what wi.3 the matter.
"I don't like this crowd," Blackburn
responded-.
Fourth and on Fourth between Church
and Chestnut; Liberty street, from
First to Third and Third from Liberty
to Cherry have also been niacndumlx
oil. In addition to this much good
work has been done in oilier sections
of the city and the streets of the city
are in much better condition than
ever before. ..
It. is the intention of the authorities
In pitKlLihegooii work-this spring,
Among the contemplated Improve
ments are the placing of Belgian
blocks on Third' stret, from Church to
Chestnut, and on Trade street, from
Fourth to Fifth.
Many miles of permanent sidewalks
have also been laid and curbing has
been placed by town for further ex
tension of this work.
The serious Injury received by 8
perlntendont of Streets I.ambe has In
terfered with street, work during tin
paid few months, but the efficient offi
cer is now able to be out again. In
talking with a Sentinel reporter Mr.
Lambe mated that he thought raort
work would be done On the street
this year than ever before In the his
tory of the' city.
atwtrjjo oysiem ana water woiKt
Now that the water works have
been completed and the supply knows
no bounds, the sewerage extension is
to receive much attention-.
'Happily. Winston owns hdr watci
plant. While other towns are discuss
ing ways and means to obtain posse
sUtn of this Important branch of public
works Winston Is not only making
ncr water system meet expenses, but
the receipts are far In excess of all ex
penses of the department.
Larger piains have been laid In sev
eral sections and plans are being
made for still other improvements.
Municipal ownership of water
works Is ns far aa Winston has ad
vanced along the lino of municipal
ownership of public utilities, a ques
tion now engaging the attention of the
country, and It cannot be denied that
the city Is more t ha nsatlsfled with
thin Initial step.

"I know that," returned Blackburn,
"It's not the 'quality I'm objecting to,
but the quantity. The d crowd Is
too big for an anecdote and not big
";ii(i".igh for a speech."
One of the jokes of which Kenfitck
ans never grow weary concerns Sen
ltor Blackburn and his loyal appreciation-
of the juice products of his na
tive State. The Senator Imd gone to
jay a visit to a friend of his who lived
T.iiny miles away. His friend met the
Senator when he alighted from the
train.
"How are you, Joe?" bis friend ask
ed. "I'm. up against It,", was the reply.,
"I lo4 the best part of my baggage
en route."
"Did you misplace it ur was it stol
on?'' his friend Inqitlrt" solicitously.
"Neither."' said thu Senator. "The
cork came out."
It was Evangelist Dwight L. Moody
who was responsible for Senatorlilacli
burn's "geiring religion." Shortly al
