MUSTANG.

To The Democrat:
       The rainy weather wasn't very suitable for travel, but on January 28, Miss Onah Jacks came over for our club meeting, which was held with Mrs. C. E. Burns.  Only five members were present, but the threatening weather kept others from attending.  Miss Jacks gave an interesting talk on yard improvement and gardening was discussed, too, as these warm days makes one think spring is just around the corner.  Mrs. T. E. Lewis and Mrs. D. C. Williams have set cabbage and onion plants.  Mrs. Williams is trying a few cauliflowersplants.  T. L. Lewis has English peas planted.  Most of the gardens, are too wet to plant.  We've found gardening much more interesting since entering club work.  We were so sorry our secretary, Mrs. E. O. Burns, couldn't be at this meeting.  She was in Marlin to see Mrs. Chas. Pringle, who underwent an operation the first of the week.
       The next meeting is to be with our secretary on February 11, though some of the members expect to can a beef on that date, the meeting place may be changed.
       A. L. Lewis, Joe Johnson and Porter Brown had business in Marlin this week.
       M. H. Dickey and family of Bremond spent Sunday with his brother, W. P. Dickey and family.
       Several of our folks expect to attend the fifth Sunday meeting at Lost Prairie.
       Mrs. Bunyan Hightower visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Masters, near Thornton last week.
       The teachers are preparing an interesting program; the young folks are practicing most every day.  There will be no charge, so everybody come.
       Since beginning this report, we've changed our mind about spring being so near at hand.  Old Man Winter has made another visit and it is hoped he'll stay for a spell this time.  We've heard of some meat spoiling during the warm weather.
