~~~~~

WORK.

     The Marlin Woman's Christian Temperance Union will open up rest and reading rooms for the free use of ladies who come to Marlin to do their shopping. This matter bas been under consideration for some time and the conclusion was reached Wednesday to open the rooms at once, The building formerly occupied by the Ladies Bazaar will probably be secured for the purpose.

PROCEEDINGS

     The W. C. T. U., held quite an interesting meeting Wednesday afternoon at the regular place, the Christian church: After scripture; reading and prayer by the president, the program for the afternoon was omitted in order that the business should be taken up. Reports were received from the treasurer also from the cradle roll.
     A communication was read from the World's Fair Temperance headquarters inviting the Union to stop with them while visiting the fair.
     Mrs. J. L. Lenoir was elected as delegate to the state W. C. T. U. to be held at Wills Point in May. The L. T. L. President, Miss Lizzie Hair was also elected to accompany her.
     A committee was appointed to secure a rest room at once so as to have it fitted up by the 1st. This is to be free for everyone, and will be an especial benefit to the country people after their long ride through the dust or mud, also a convenient place for the town ladies to drop into to see if their hats are on straight.
     Subject for next meeting "Obedience" Everyone invited to attend.
