 Four ladies of South Coventry, Mrs. Wolf, Mrs. Coggswell, Miss Lester and Mrs. Quick, took delightful ride to Vernon Center last Wednesday. to attend the county w. 0. T. U. meeting. Forty seven delegates and forty one visitors were present. This leads me to say that we need the help of every woman in town in one department of the W. o. T.
