places, making it a difficult task to cut il

The M. l. Club, Of this place, met with
Mrs. VIM. Nelson, at the A. S. Academy, on
Saturday, June 10, at o'clock. The meet
ing was called to order by the president,
Mrs G. H. Nourse. There were sixteen
members present and the meeting was one
of the most interesting and enjoyable ones
of the year. After reading of the minutes
of the preceding meeting by the secretary,
Miss Windsor, the following program was
rendered.:
Reading of Lleney's Soliloquy, parody
on Hamlets immortal one, by Mrs. Stone
reading, Hard Earned Wages, an amusing
account of bill for services rendered to the
statues in cathedral at Belgium, read by
Mrs. Alex. Gassaway; reading, An Ac-
count of the Death of Rosa Bonheur, by
Miss Lula Windsor; humorous sketch en-
titled Jerusha Winterbottom's Trip to the
Worlds Fair, read by Mrs. r. B. Beall an
original story by Mrs. II G. Reading, called
A Pursuit of the U nattainable; reading of
an article on Travelling Libraries, by Mrs.
g. II. Nourse. 1t was decided to apply for
one oil these libraries at once.
The members of the club, with the addi-
ton of several gentlemen guests, then re-
paired to the spacious dining room where a
beautifully decorated table presented an at.
tractive appearance. Delicious refreshments
consisting of rolls, salads, Strawberries, ice
cream, cake and coffee, were dispensed by
the genial and hospitable host and hostess
ably assisted by the Misses Clagett and
Briscoe.
Many regrets were expressed by all pres
ent at the TACT of its being the last meeting
held with Prof. and Mrs. Nelson, as they
will soon leave the scene of their earnest
and successful labors at the Academy. The
school has grown and prospered under Prof
Nelson's able management and it will be
long before successor can be procured so
earnest and Jealous, so cultivated and eff
cient.
The meeting adjourned to meet with Miss
Margaret Beall in two weeks. Subject !:
"The reigning Queens OF Europe"
