Missionary Society
Begins Centenary Observance;
Some Events Are Postponed


MADISON, Oct. 1.-THE celebration
for a week of the centennial of the
Woman's Missionary Society of this
town was started yesterday morning
with services in the First Presbyte-
rian Church, on Main street, to which
church the society belongs.
Rev. sMcAlpin, the pastor, gave an
interesting historical sketch about the
women's organization. He told of
how 1t was organized in 1914 solely for
a local object, to buy books for needy
pupils and generally relieve distress
in the community. The society is now
doing both home and foreign mission
airy work. Mrs. Comfort Bowers, of
Chatham, was the first president of
the society. Mrs. Robert Altman, of
Hillside avenue, was president from
1869 until last year, when she resigned
and became honorary president.
The old-time concert, which was to
have been held in Webb Memorial
Chapel this evening, has been post
poned until next Monday evening.
There has also been another change in
the program The historical pageant,
which was to take place Friday after
noon on the lawn of the Madison
Academy, has been indefinitely called
off and will probably be given next
year The young folks will rehearse
during the winter.
