That the Kirmess given by the ladies

RECEIVED WITH REGRET.
Resignation of Mrs Sara II. Kinney as
State Regent of the D. A. r.

Resignation of Mrs. Sara II. Kinney as
State Regent of the D. A. r.
Mrs Sara T. Kinney of this city has
rendered her resignation from the office
of state regent of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, a position which
she has filled for three years with great
credit both to herself and to the organ
ization. Her written resignation was
sent to the regents of the various chap
tiers throughout the state and was read
at the meeting Of Mary Clap Wooster
chapter in this city.
The resignation is received with re-
gret by all the chapters of the state.
Under Mrs. Kinney's administration as
state regent the state organization has
been very successful. During the war
with Spain she was untiring in her eff
forts in behalf of the relief organization
among the chapters of the state, and
for the great success which attended
her work she received high commenda-
ton from officials of the war depart
ment. Now that her work in that di-
rection is completed she feels the need
of rest, and it is for this purpose that
she has resigned, as even in times of
peace the duties of the state regent are
arduous.
