Mid pleasures and palaces
Though we may roam
The longleafs and dogwoods
Seem much more like home;
In the woods and the field
And the pine-laden air
We find many delights
Not met with elsewhere.
Mr. and Mrs. Gelson have motored to Florida for a few weeks.
Mr. and Mrs. Simpson of Buffalo, N.Y., are occupying the Evan James cottage.
Mr. and Mrs. David Hancock of Danbury, Conn., are enjoying themselves in Meadowlark.
Misses Gertrude V. Little came down from Sanford last Sunday, said ‘Hello’ and scooted back. [Is this supposed to be Mrs. or Miss?]
Miss Annie F. Popham of Utica has opened her home and is now snugly settled for the season.
Mrs. A.M. Burham from Boston are [is] making a short visit with Mr. and Mrs. R. James.

Mrs. C.H. Stanton of Holland Patent, N.Y., and Mrs. William Krodel of Middletown, Pa., are with Miss Harriet L. Ames for the season.
Lift the Latch (the pioneer tea room of the sandhills), with Miss Pauline’s smiling countenance presiding, is now open and welcoming friends.
At the Parsonage may be fund a congenial party from Rushford, N.Y., Mr. and Mrs. W.G. Rice, Mrs. W.H. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Loren Gilbert and son.
There was a box social on Saturday evening which netted a goodly sum for the Village Improvement Society and furnished merriment for a crowd of people.
Mrs. G.S. MacFarland and Miss Helen Baxter of Boston arrived in town Saturday and immediately started those cheerful fires in the Black Jack Cottage.
Mr. Smith has had his hair cut. None by the wealthy enjoy life. We know of an old man in town who has a white beard that sadly needs the mower, but he must be hard up this season.
Mrs. R.W. Sturgis of Norfolk—familiarly known as Dot Simpson—motored to town Saturday with her young daughter Pollyanna, and may be found with her aunt, Mrs. Simpson for two weeks or more.
On Sunday evening in the Methodist Episcopal Church there will be a meeting at which the Bok peace plan will be discussed; amongst others Dr. Wilcox will be a speaker. It is planned to circulate ballots on the following Sunday for voting.
The Rev. Charles P. Holbrook, rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Southern Pines, will conduct services here on Sunday afternoon and every third Sunday of the month hereafter. The Rev. Mr. Parker has offered the use of St. Johns-in-the-Pines M.E. Church building for these services.
Miss H. Pauline Little came to town Friday with Miss Harriet Winslow and Miss Anita Phepps of Washington, to whom she has let Over the Way for the season. She was surprised but not delighted to discover 10 leaks in the plumbing department of her three dwellings, resulted from that little cold snap.
Many persons will recall Miss Marian D. Tinney of Goshen, N.Y., who has wintered here off and on for 10 or 12 years. Last winter she and her mother found that St. Augustine exactly fitted their needs, and in December their trunks had been started for Florida when Mrs. Tinney suddenly died. Marian was ever the most cheerful of invalids, always surrounded by friends, and we understand she has secured a satisfactory companion for this season.

Here’s hoping a hearty season for the coming year.
