Admission of NOn-COIOniaI States.
The principal topic at the session. be-
sides the Oglethorpe Monument move
ment, which was in accord with the
outline given in the Morning News,
was the question of admitting non-Co-
lonial states to equal rights with the
societies in the Colonial states. While
no action was taken, the sentiment of
the meeting was strongly against their
admission.
A painting of Tomochichi and his
son, done on buckskin, was presented
to the society by Mrs. I. S. Morgan.
The figures of the old chief and his
son are nearly life size, while about
them are depicted scenes in the life
of the father The painting will be
ratified at the Tomochichi Club, and the
proceeds devoted to the Frederick fund.
which. it was found, is not large
enough to meet the expense incurred
in the construction of the fort.
The sessions of the society were
marked by the utmost harmony and
unaninity of purpose. The ladies on
converting were a unit in the resolve TO |
leave no stone unturned to raise the |
fund for the Oglethorpe monument. |
This will be the one aim of the society
until the work is completed, and the
Danes hope that when they meet
again the present amount in the treas
ury of the Oglethorpe Monument AS
sociation will have been materially en-
HANGED.
