THE CARLTON CLUB DANCE

The Carlton Club will give its third annual ball In Native Sons hall on Thursday evening, November 25th. The young men comprising this club are hustlers and they know full well how to entertain. The success achieved by them in the past is an assurance of the success of next Thursday's event. The young men are making extensive preparations for the reception of their friends. The Woodland Orchestra of five pieces has been engaged to furnish all the late and popular music of the day.
