WOmAH'S HOME MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
The Meeting at Latta,

On Saturday july 10th, it was my good
fortune to be in the town of Itatta at the
District meeting of the Woman's Home
Missionary Society.
Mrs j. w. Kilgo, of Orangeburg, the
conference Secretary, WAS present. Miss
Matte Coyington, Marion District Sec
rotary, assisted Mrs Kilgo i'll CARRYING
out the meeting.
Nearly every Society was represented
by a delegate. Miss Covington has had
charge OF the work for only one quarter,
and she has served we'll. From her re,
port, which was So wcrthily praised by
all present, we learned that She has beef,
going around III the District organizing
societies and giving advice to those or,
ganized. She has kept no of the
expense 1T has been to her, nor of tile
tliiie 1t has taken. She is giving her all
could not help but be impressed this way.
The work will certainly succeed. For
snch a christian woman as she to bend
all her energies i'll that work means sue
cess. You imbibc enthusiasm from her
presence. She is we'll fitted for the place.
She is informed and is able to give that
information to others. Marion District
is fortunate in having her. May it's wo-
men respond to her calls and help her 10
carry on the great work SO nobly begun.
On Saturday A. NJ, the first session

at the morning session reports from
the different Societies were given. The
meeting adjourned at IL. 80. At S D.. N.
the ladies met again. Mrs A. b. Barren
tine OF Clio read All excellent paper on
Homes and Home Mission. Mrs Hayes
OF Mullins read Ill instructive paper on
reports. Rev. Spcakc and Rev. Tiller
added to the meeting by their occasional
Icinarks. One interesting little talk was
made by Miss Fort of Latta who has had
the pleasure OF attending the great Mis-
sionary Conference i'll Ashcvillc.
This is a great work. The thought Of
what the ON OF Marion District might
accomplish is overwhelming. Let every
church have it's organization. Let the
women stand together. Lcr their hearts
beat responsive in the great cause and
victory will be theirs.
There is three departments i'll this work

Miss Covington will respond to an,
call to ouganilc a society, and when one
