Delegates Return Home.
Mrs. H. r. Allen has returned from
Meridian, where she went to attend
the Kings Daughters Convention.
She represented the Children's Circle
of the First Presbyterian church, and
reports a pleasant and successful
meeting.
TIL addresses of welcome were de-
lightfully cordial, one from the city,
Given by Hon. R. NJ. Stone, being es-
pecially fine. He is a good speaker
and said so many nice things about
the members that they will doubtless
make special effort to live up to all
he claims for them. The Sunbeams, a
circle of AZ little children, wearing
white frocks, with immense bows of
white ribbon in their hair, gave the
song Little Sunbeams." That was
/. the prettiest feature of the entire con
vention.
, Mrs. D. B. Holmes, of this city, in g
, few well-chosen words, gave in clear
| distinct voice the response to the ad
dress of welcome. Mrs. R. l.. Nc
Laurine gave three excellent talks
which were more than worth the triI
to the convention.
The Rescue Home work was dis
p cussed in full. The chairman of the
board, Mrs. Ballou, of Natchez, made
, an exceedingly strong talk and asked
that everyone who had anything t
: say, "to say it now or forever holC
their peace" Nearly $1,000 of tn,
y $4,000 needed for the home, wal
, shown to be on hand and over $500,
! more in money or pledges was takel
up in the convention hall. Grading
the grounds and preparations for build
v ing will be begun in August. An i'm
o portant change in the deed for tn,
home given the Kings Daughters, ha
been made. 1t will now read For
Rescue Home. or an Orphans Home.
If it doesn't succeed as a Rescu
Home, it will be used as an Orphan
Asylum.
, Among the delegates who have re
. turned home are Mesdames e. A
Kearnaghan, Fuller and ]. Monro
Smith.
A number of the delegates are Wis
iting friends in Meridian and othe
!, points and will not return home 70
Il several days.
