These are my own personal views,
which / have deemed ii my duty to
submit freely and frankly to our mem
bers. / know that in a large society
honest differences of opinion will al

but to secure a contamination so de-
voutly to be wished, l would cheer

tions. / apprehend that the establish

minish the membership and income of
our society: but we shall be relieved
from the burden of adding to our stock
or miscellaneous books, and VIII be
left free to prosecute the higher and
broader purpose for which we were
chartered by the Legislature and for
the accomplishment of which we were
selected, which was the collecting, pre-
serving and diffusing information re-
lating to the history of the state of
Georgia in particular, and of American
history generally.

The exterior of the building is in
an uncouth condition at the present
time. Repairs are absolutely neces-

years. The board of managers con-
template to have this done at once. I
am glad to announce that the city au-
thorities have agreed to pave that
portion of State street north of the

those who are admitted free of charge

She took cold easily, and would wheeze
and have spells of coughing that would
sometimes last for a half-hour. We
doctored all winter without relief.
Now we can never than you enough
for the change you have made in our
little ones health. Before she began
taking Peruna she suffered every thing
in the way of cough, colds and Group,
but now she has taken not quite bot
tie of Peruna and is well and strong
as she has ever been in her life. She
has not had the Group since she began
taking Peruna, and when she has a
little cold a few doses of Peruna fixes
her out all right. We tell every one
about it who has any ailment. We
want to keep it always in the house.

and in the purpose and influence OF
it's noble and beautiful trust.
Those of us who have toiled long
and faithfully in the prosecution of its
worthy purposes, and for the advance
ment of its promising art adjunct, are
painfully conscious that they will new
er witness the fruition of their labors
in their own day and generation. They
know that there is as yet no general
literary taste in Savannah, and still
less appreciation of and love for art;
that there are many natures so ire
sponsive and glacial that the seeds
which bloom into poetry and beauty
can find no crevice in which to make
Judgment; but slip away, as from an
iceberg's edge, and are lost in the dark
and dismal depths below.
But we still have confidence in the
future, and believe that if the men of
this generation refuse their aid the
cultured women of Savannah will not
and to them we earnestly and hope
fully appeal.
"Cocquelin, the great French actor,
and recognized as an able art critic. on
his last visit to the United States de-
clared that upon the women rested
the artistic salvation Of the country.
I'VE know that we are working for
the future; but in that future we feel
encouraged to place a sublime conf
dence. We are fortified by the high
hope that as the years pass by, more
and more in our beautiful city will
seek and find that serene refuge which
Prof. Huxley so eloquently invoked
