 These figures show that there are two or three objects that should receive special attention. This is true particu- larly of the Dr Kinnear fund. It is possible that some have mislaid the envelopes for this object. Look them up and hand them in as early as pos. sible.
 The following clipping taken from letter recently received from Dr. Kin. near will be of interest to all:
 Saturday, Aug. 26, 1911. My dear Mrs. Sargent,
 Your kind letter of July 9th came to hand this morning, and lest you may think that we are lacking in apprecia- ton l want to write at once to &C., knowledge 1t. Tn the same mail l re- ceived the bill of ading and invoice of the autumn shipment 10 the mission in which your case is included and 1 presume that it will be just about six weeks longer before the goods are ready for delivery after the delays in- cident 10 the longer steamer voyage they have to take, the transfer at Hong Kong and the delay al the GUS toms here When the box has been unpacked you may expect a more de. tailed expression of our appreciation, but tbe experience We hau with the last one you sent, and which contained so many very useful things leads us to expect that il will be all that can be desired in such package. Best of all we know that Il comes ffeighted with the kind wishes and prayers of the finest nt Of friends that q medical mis- sionary ever had the good fortune to possess.
 The ladies in charge of the mission ary barrel are desirOus Of getting it ready as soon after Nov. lst as possible. They desire contributions of money, new or partly worn clothing to cores. pond as nearly as possible with the following measurements:
 Mr ocke-Height, D it. in. chest, II in. waist, 40 in: collar size, l5.
 Mrs. Locke-Helght, ft in; bust, 34 waist, 27.
 This couple are struggling upon a very inadequate salary to minister to the needs Of little settlement of cot ton mill operatives in Georgia, and were particularly recommended by the State uperintendent as being in need of box help. Thus far contributions for the barrel have been slow. Will every lady take this as a personal ap- peal. Please notify Mrs. J. Richard Carpenter, Miss Mary Wheaton or Mrs. Edgar NJ. Warner if you have ar ticles or money for the barrel. A little later the committee hope to send box of clothing to a Southern school. This box will contain clothing for all ages. Please send now any good discarded for this. The Queens of Avilion solicit your patronage at their sale on Friday eVen- ing in the Gymnasium. There will be an exhibition of Art Goods from the studio of the Misses Tourtellotte of South Hadley, and Japanese Auc- tion Sale of articles made by the young ladies. During the evening the play let, ,"The Ministers Chicken Pie,n will be presented. In connection with the sale the Pilgrims of Avilion will have charge of candy table. No admis- sion will be charged and the people are urged to come and encourage the young ladies in their efforts.
