Hard Times Bali
St. Patrick’s Day
Much interest is already being mani- j
tested in the big Hard Times dance to !
be given under the management of
Camp Hot Springs No. 24, A. B., on
the night of St. Patrick, March 17th, at
Hot Springs hotel. A masquerade ball
was first proposed, but owing to the dif
ficulty many would have in securing
proper material for disguises, the event
was changed to a hard-times affair, and
after a winter such as we have just
gone through, it’s an easy matter for
the majority of our population to qual
ify at this function. Several valuable
prizes have been offered by our mer
chants, and the cake walk contest be
tween Hot Springs couples will prove
a novel and pleasant feature.
The days are so long and the cold no
longer strong that traveling from the
creeks will be a pleasure.

E. Coke Hill, assistant United States
attorney for the Second judicial dis
trict, arrived in Hot Springs last Sat

gnawed by rats, as had been stated,
