the different clubs from over the state.
Among those present were some of the
most talented women Of the race.

Flood attended the thirty-third annual
session Of the U. b. of T. and the thir-
teenth annual session of s. M. I. Of
Illinois which were held in Quincy,
August Is, 1911. They report one or
the most enjoyable meetings ever held
and speak highly of the entertainment
accorded the visiting delegates. Mrs
E. G. Peoples was honored with the re-
election of Grand Secretary. She was
also named as one of the three dele
gates to attend the national convention
to be held in July, 1912, at Oklahoma

ing was held at st. James A. M. E.

be helpful and instructive
