Fred’k H. Plump returned Saturday from a week’s gunning trip with friends in the Hamptons. Big Dinner in Pettit's Honor Throughout the fifty-two districts of Nassau County, members of all politi cal parties and many without partisan affiliation are discussing u com plimentary dinner at which Stephen P. P e ttit, of Freeport, Sheriff-elect of Nassau County, will be honored on Monday evening, December 15, at the Garden City Hotel. The dinner will doubtless be the lar gest of its kind ever given under the auspices of a non-partisan committee and it indicates the widespread popu larity that this \favored son of F r e e p o rt\ has enjoyed. According to the announcement of the committee, which consists wholly of Freeport men, each district in the county will be represented by a table or possibly more. The gathering will be representative, if the early requests for reservations are any criterion, but no estim ate has yet been placed on the number, who are likely to be present. The dinner will be elaborate. A special menu has been arranged for and speakers of State-wide reputation will be present. At the various tables will be seated Republicans.

The committee on the purchase of new uniforms made a very favorable report as to prices and style, last m e e t ing night. This committee also went a step further and reported that after talking with Captain Hubert Eldred, of Rockville Centre they had secured his consent to come to our Council room to drill our guard. A few weeks ago a paper was passed around containing a petition for the formation of a uniformed rank of our order. Last Friday there were about thirty-five signers, pledged to support this movement. Capt. Eldred is no s tranger to m ili tary tactics. He has served faithfully in the Forty-Fifth Regiment in New York and also has been deeply inter ested in the Boy Scout movement. In securing his services the committee is to be congratulated for he is enthusi astic in his work and with proper sup port by the signers of this petition, will soon turn out a well drilled body of Junior Order men. The first meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, November 25, and all signers are urged to be present and requested to bring some other brother. Services Sunday, N o v .' 23, ’in the Bethel A. M.

Among other things Mrs. Phelps said: \T h e re is no possible away of telling after a ballot is cast whether it was cast by a man or wom an, but several towns that have voted on the liquor question in the past and remained wet. have gone dry since women have the ballot.\ The most im p o rtant work of the W.
