chapter, ID. of c., and several of
the membern and few of the gem
,tlemen Who were interested, carried
lie out to the county home and
spread feast for the inmates.
Among the contribution was a huge
box of fruit given by Mrs. Huiet's
kindergarten. Mr.. Scurry, the stew
ard, had notified them of the visit,
and all who were able 10 be out
were ready with hearty welcome.
This visit has been the custom of
the chapter for several years, and it
is greatly anticipated. When the
dinner was ready, Mr.. Scurry
brought forth very large old fash
ioned brass bell which was rung for
all to assemble. This bell, he ex-
planned, has been used since the
county home was established over
SO years ago, and the writer was
told upon her return home, that her
grandfather William Scott Smyly,
who assisted in establishing this
home for the unfortunate, had this
bell made and given for such. After
the feast had been enjoyed, visits
were made to all the homes, and
then they assembled for a religious
service, which Rev. Kester conduct
ed. Several favorite songs were
sung, and the remarks were such
that brought comfort and happi-
ness TO the hearts of these poor un-
fortunates. Rev. Kcster promised
them that they should no longer 60
for bearly year without a sermon,
and once month, he would visit
them, and q service would be held
in their little chapel. Toe much
praise could not be given Mr.. Sour
~ and his estinable wife for the
splendid manner in which the place
is managed. A testimonial of their
good care and provision, was shown
by the words Of praise each inmate
had for them.
On Thursday morning the little
baby girl of Mr.. and Mrs. Bozeman
Carpenter died, having been sick
during its short little life of seven
and the end was not une1-
pected. Kind and sympathizing
