Mobile Society News. Our Mobile ladies, noted at all times for their activity in charitable causes, have now on foot project that will be their crowning glory and noblest enter prise: the establishment of fresh air fund for the poor. Other cities have long since led the way in this worthy work, but until now, for some unknown 1 reason. Mobile has not fallen into line. Ie remained for Mrs. Joel Goldsby. wife of Hon. Joel Goldsby. to take the iniia- 1 tial step in the movement that prom ises to work for so much good to the poor or our community. Mrs. Goldsby Is , spending the summer at Daphne and Ter 1 enthusiasm and interest have been in- . fused irto the summer residents at that place and insured their cooperation in the establishment of the work. The idea is to begin on a small scale, doing what good the limited means will furnish this summer. and the hope is that by next summer home can be built at Daphne where the poor children and the sick can spend week or ten days drinking in with tine sea breeZees health and a new con- cept'cn of Happiness. The fire kndled by one noble woman at Daphn, mas spread to Point Clear, where numbers of our best citizens are spending the summer and the ladies with charitable zeal have caught the infection and are pushing the good work along. It has been decided to give concert at the Grand Hotel on August 1st to raise money for the fund and the cooperation of all interested is asked. Local musicians here and at the Point will contribute their services re- Treatments will be on sale, a bazaar with pretty articles for sale will be one of the attractions and special boats will be run from the city for the occasion. Mrs James K. Glennon, always active in the eurtherance of good work is chairman of the committee, assisted by a number of the most prominent ladies in town, whose patronage will ensure a success. No doubt the citizens will respond liber- ally to their appeal.
