The Ladies' Aid society of South

their annual meeting on the first day of

order for 30 years, and stands today on
as sound footing, with as much interest,
as any time since its organization.
Many of the original members have
passed away, but their daughters fill
their places in the ranks, and. like a
band of sisters, work together for good.
To Mrs. DR.. Bond, who has acted as
president since its organization, with
her assistants, is due great credit for
untirihg perseverance and forethought
in procuring funds and material to keep
the busy fingers at work. The past
year has been prosperous one for
the society. There has been made in
bedding and clothing and distributed
between the hospital at st. Adams, a
home mission, and home work, $50
worth Mrs. Walter Atwood surprised
the ladies by presenting the society
with purse of $3.50 as a New Year:
gift from the gentlemen of the neigh
borhood, to be used in procuring mate
rials for further work, for which eacl
member present heartily thanked the
donors and wished them a happy New
Year. The feeble health and family
cares of Mrs Bond forced her to declin,
acting longer and Mrs. Walter Atwood
was chosen in her stead, and under he
: care it is hoped the society will flourish
in the future as in the past.
