NOTES

we are indebted to the Ocala Ban
ner for kindly sending us extra mum
Oers of the paper containing an &C
count of our state convention.
State President winnard, 4O3 Palm
avenue, Tampa, is state Transportation
manager of the international Conyen.
ton at st. Paul, Mimi. on July 7-12
and wishes that all who are planning
10 attend would very soon let him
Know in order that he may furnish
them wit proper credentials. Mr.
"innard will not be able to go to St.
Faul, as long planned for, and as the
omcers of the united society have
asked for our banners to place on ex-
nioitlon, it is hoped that someone
viii volunteer to carry "our colors"
In the grand parade, in which the en-
signs of many states, territories and
provinces will be proudly displayed.
July is very near at hand. What a
pity, 1t seems, that the distance is
TOO great for large numbers from
Florida to attend.
Tell us of your meetings held on
June 2Srd, with that sublime subject,
The Noble Life of Frances Willard. -
II would have been a suitable occa-
sion to have sent special invitations
TO your friends of the w. c. T. U. to
attend as honored guests.
We hope to send out copies of the
new campaign poster in time for one
TO be posted next Sunday on the wall
of each church where assemble En-
deavorers of the Florida c. E. Union.
Please do not forget to do this.
Two well known Endeavorers were
married in Tampa June 10th. The
bride, Miss Mabel Jones, is Junior SUI
perintendent of the Hillsborough and
Manatee district, while Mr.. David
Reid, the worthy young man who won
her, is president of the Tampa local
union, and until recently served in
that capacity for the Tampa Heights
Presbyterian society. The beautiful
marriage ceremony was performed by
their pastor, State President Winnard,
making it indeed an Endeavor we'd
ding. For hosts of state and district
comrades we offer hearty congratu-
lations and good wishes for their flu
ture life.
For several weeks our space in this
paper has contained no communica-
tons of general news matter, but now
that the general routine of office work
is resumed, the customary news let
tiers will continue being written. 1t
is a responsibility, and also a pleas
ure to thus serve as press superin-
tendent for Florida Endeavorers, and
in order that this part of state work
be of service to all sections of the I'M
ion, news should be sent us often to
pass on in this way.
In the called business meeting held
for Northeastern district, recently in
Jacksonville, some thoughts of impor-
lance were emphasized. The almost
ideal plans adopted at the beginning
of the district year, also the report
sent to the Tampa convention, were
read by the secretary, Miss Krook.
Treasurer Mantey's book showed a bal
ance of over S13 on hand. The state
and district union maps were display
ed and there was much discussion
about the best places to organize new
societies. Ex-President Pattison was
chosen to carry greetings from the
Northeastern district to the Presby-
terian society in Fernandina, which
has not yet come into its fellowship.
The need of promptly meeting state
and district financial obligations was
emphasized and the importance Of as
sisting the district superintendent of
the press and introduction department
in her work was shown to be urgent
for the welfare of the district il all
phases of work. The district prize
banner was proudly displayed AMI the
necessity made clear of decisive cam
paign work in future months if this
lovely banner is to remain in North
eastern district Reviving of Jack
sonviIle local union is anticipated,
but probably not before fall and the
return of many Dissent workers.
GRACE A TOWNSEND.
