A brief summary Of

A brief summary OF Gne yeaI
work in W. G. T. U. and L. T. L.
On March 21, 1906, Mrs. Helen
Bullock reorganized the Y. c. I. y
with twenty active members. Now
We have sixty-nine active. five III
active (personS taking pledge but not
contributing), and twenty-seven hon
orary. Our "Quarterly Bulletln'
has taken to itself tho more enphon-
ious name of "Palmetto White Rib
bor'
Mrs. Deitrick, national organizer,
visited us last March, and made help
ful addresses TO Cynthia Mower L. L.
L., Newberry ". c.. T. T., and MolIo-
hon W. C. T. U. The one given in the
Lutheran church vas specially good
and two more members enrolled.
About the same time, Jack Crawford,
in the Lyceum Course at the college,
strengthened the temperance cause by
his hearty words to our boys. The w.
C. 7. US believe in sociability. Be-
sides several treats given by indlvl-
dual members at their homes, two
festivals were given in The parlor and
ON the lawn Of the president, Mrs. j.
W. White, in May and June respeo-
lively. These were for the public and
quite a neat sum was realized at
each. At a good deal Of expense to
the W. C. T. US a treat was served
our honoraries in February, 1909. 1t
was an enjoyable affair, but wished
all invited had come. We are not try
ing to reach your pocketbook every
time we appeal to Your .appetltas,
gentlemen. We want your votes and
influence for "God and home and
native land. -
July 4th, L. 7. L. had Rally Day
and festival. At Easter they enjoyed
an Egg Hunt in Mrs. Mary Wrlght's
lawn, later picnic in Mrs. NJ. A:
Carlisle's lawn. At their reopening Ill
September cake and ice cream were
served, and again on January 18th.
These little folks were kept quite
busy on Flower Mission Day, (Jan.
9th.) distributing bouquets to the
sick and also to the afflicted. The;
are very fond Of their superintend-
ent, Mrs. E. E. Williamson. They
meet weekly in one Of the rooms OF
the public school; comfortably fitted
up for them. The hardest task for
these wee folks (though they count
it a pleasure) is the memorzing of
the pledge and little pieces Of poetry.
The older ones miss very much the
! Temperance instructions of Mrs. Belle
Brown, Mrs. J. A. B. Scherer's moth
er. Their dues are only fifteen cents
a year, five Of which goes to nationa!
! W. G T. T., one Of which goes to
World W. c.. T. T., and the rest for
their own needs. They are helping
us grown folks to get building: tor
their own and our use. They had q
rumage sale which realized eight dol
lars and seventy y-eight cents. The W..
c.. T. Z. collected on Worlds Tenn
perance Sunday $I7.29 which they
deposited in bank as nest egg for
this building fund.
