W. +. Butler is president. Miss Cook vii
son treasurer. snd Mrs. W. J. W. COwden

strom, Mrs. Harden, Mrs w 7. Wiley and
Mrs. john Frew, constitute the Finance
/ Committee. Ladies become active mem
bers By paying fifty cents, and gentlemen
honorary members by paying one dollar.
1 The city is divided by ward lines and in
each there is an auxiliary having its
! own officers, but their work is controlled
and directed by the central organization,
10 which they make written reports month
y. The general meeting Is held the first
, Wednesday of each month at 2.3J L. NJ. at
/ MCLaju' Hall.
/ The members seek out cases Of destitu
| ron IN their respective wards and the
| committee from the auxiliary OF that ward
visit end furnish tie needed relief. This
/ committee make purchases atCertain stores
where all items are entered IN pass books
! one kept by the merchant and one by the
/ committee. No deviation from this plan
/ Is allowed as all settlements must be ma e
/ from the pass books, so that the society
! can control its expenditures and always
! Knows its liabilities.
At the monthly meeting each auxiliary
| reports the number of cases requiring re-
| lief, and appropriations are made from the
| treasury accordingly. The amount eX
| pended for one relief must not exceed 81 80
| but re,ietS are repeated as necessity re-
/ uuires, and each case is fully investigated
| To ascertain il worthy of relief and thus
| imposition is avoided.
Many cases Of destitution have been
| found snd relieved which pride hid from
| The public, and but for the plan adopted
| great suffering would have resulted.
! The suXIliarieS arrange their own meet
| ings and make up clothing TO be distribu
! ted Second hand clothing, bed clothing
| as well as new materials are gladly re
/ Ceiv,d and help greatly the work intended
! Notice will be given through the papers
/ where contributions can be sent.
/ The society so far has been supported by
/ the membership fees, voluntary cOntribu-
/ tiOps, sni the net returns from au enter
| tainment given at the Opera House the
| latter part of the winter. The receipts
! from all sources amounted to S9)7il.
! So small sum has never been used in
| this city to accomplish so much good The
/ public hiss never been called upon to assist
! this society and few knew how much these
| Jealous ladies were doing with the limited
| means at their DISPOSAL, or the great eIer-
ton they personally have made, and It is
hoped that every one will give as he is
able and that abundant means will be fur
niShed so that no one in our midst will,
during the coming winter suffer from hun
ger or cold.
