DRIPPING SPRINGS NEWS.
Cullman R. 5, Feb. 28 – Health in this community is very good at this writing.
Dripping Springs school is progressing nicely with the exception of a few boys who on their way from church Sunday night stopped in at the school house and destroyed some of the property and strewed things around in disorder by cutting holes in the water bucket and hiding the dipper in the wall of the house. Upon such boys the law should be executed to the fullest extent. It is believed by some that they know who the boys were.

THE WOMANLESS WEDDING
One of the cleverest and most highly enjoyable entertainments ever given in the city was the Womanless Wedding by the ladies of the First Methodist church and despite the heavy rains a large audience was present to witness the marriage as is always the case “most all buildings are too small for a wedding and too large for prayer meetings,” but this wedding being minus the lady was the more interesting and excited the curiosity of not only the men but the ladies as well, for they all knew the characters in the cast and were eager to see how they would look trying to look like ladies, and gentlemen. They were clever and their dress was interesting as to style and fashion from the bride to the bridesmaids.

MOTHERS’ CLUB MEETING
A most delightful meeting of the Mothers’ Club was held at the public school building last Friday afternoon. While the weather was exceedingly discouraging between thirty and forty ladies were present. Mrs. Baggley of Birmingham, president of the Alabama branch of the Parent Teachers Association was a guest of the Club, and gave a most interesting and instructive talk on the work of the Association.
If the Mothers of Cullman understood the good being done by the Club here in Cullman they would endeavor to set aside just one day each month (the first Friday) to attend these meetings and lend what little aid possible. Do not allow just a few loyal mothers to take all the credit for making things easier and more helpful for your boys and girls, feel that you are doing something yourself come out to the next meeting the first Friday in April.
