Brethren will please | be prompt in attendance. Fraternity I invited. John C. Swygert, Master. I Irene Dots. To the Editor of the Dispatch: I had some spare time this morning and thought I would send your a few dots. When not busy at work now, the order of the day is fighting gnats and trjing to keep cool. Times have been pretty tight with all of us this year, wages being as they have been for sometime and supplies so much higher. In fact meat has been so high this season that a man has to climb a tree when ! he calls his hogs so as to get on a | level with them, but the "Ole Oman" j and I have been practicing retrenchment?she eats the meat and I eat the sop. Taking all things into censideration we have as good a set of operatives at this piace as you will find at any mill in the country. Of course where there are so many gathered together all will not be "of the first water." Our worse trouble here is j that we are not incorporated and occasionally we receive visits from boys from the country around who sometimes act quite ugly. We noticed a short time Bince a young man (I will not say young gentleman) from the country near here who all the time of service at church was laughing and talking and acting a8 tnougn i he was another brute without a soul awaiting an eternal destiny. And let me say right here, Mr. Editor, that this same young man's family would think it awful if be should marry a factory girl, while we would pray the Lord to have mercy on the j soul of the poor girl who would be silly enough to be duped into doing 80There is one thing commendable in the management of this mill? ' they promote these in their employ instead of sending off to other places for men when a vacancy occurs where the salary is good. We have several here who have worked themselves up to good paying positions. Mr. Homer Woods, who only a few vpnra norn rons hfitwfipn his Innms weaving, now has charge as general overseer and has special oversight of weave room. Mr. Frank Ciark (our Jumbo) is another Red Bank boy in fee simple, who only a few short years ago was doffing in the spinning'room, now has charge of the same at night. Mr. Will Fields, also another, quite a young man and former weaver at this place, is assistant overseer in weave room. We have several who have been here for quite a number of years. Mr. Albert Wingard has been here so long that he has almost become a fixture in the cloth room. Mr. Sam Clark has been here as far back as I can remember and has charge of the spinning room during the day, and there arc several others we could mention if space would permit, who, while they may not be exactly princes among meD, and the moon may cast Vi^?? KnrVtfr on onmn flint, arp Viflf- l JLlCi. OUTOijr iOUH WW?w ?. w ter, yet we are very well satisfied with them and only wish there were none worse to be found. Weddings hav9 become a thing of I the past here and the prospects are i bad at present for a revival along that line. Of course you know, MrEditor, that people like me who can't read very well gain much of their in- ( formation from pictures, and I have always noticed that Cupid has his pictures taken in rather scant attire. I suppose the weather is so hot now that he is afraid of getting sunburnt and so is staying pretty close indoors. But I guess he will get in good work when the weather cools.
