AT meeting of the Dorcas society Fri
day 1t was decided not to give up the work
but to continue the home indefinitely. 1t
was found that enough money had been
raised to pay all March and April bills and
though their matron Mrs. Scott has presented
her resignation to take effect in another
week, the ladies felt encouraged enough
to go ahead with the work which at present
means the care of fifteen children, three of
whom have been In the home since its
establishment some seven years ago. The
city has been divided into districts and will
be canvassed for both goods and money
for the support OF the work. The society
is already looking for more advantageous
quarters the present location being now
quite indequate.
