Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1916-05-31


meeting on Monday evening lacked the
usual welcome greetings by reason OF the
absence OF some OF those to whom parts
had been assigned, but with the county
leader, Mrs. Julia Chatto, and the State
president, Mrs. Aithea g. Quimby, to
| greet the delegates, the omission OF this
customary service was happily bridged
| over. The music directors, Mrs. kiiiam
and Miss Abbott, were on duty and
cheered the audience with fine selections,
throughout the convention.
Temperance news, at home and abroad,
was given by delegates in short but tell
| ing items, and extracts OF noteworthy i'm
portancc in temperance annals. Mrs.
| Quimby gave an excellent address on the
! work OF the w. c. T. u, and her clear
sweet voice and charming personality inn
pressed on all the truth and force OF the
appeal for q united effort to Danish evil
and protect the home from the drink curse.
| On the morning OF May %, a cold and
cloudy day, for smiling May has had little
| but frowns for this year, the white rib
bonere gathered for the praise service led
by Mrs. p. Z. Clark, always Q fitting pre-
lude to the busy hours Of conference. At
o'clock the convention was called to
business by the county president, who,
after the roll-cali requested the State
| leader to preside, which she kindly con-
sented to do. By her careful handling of
business matters and impartial rulings
she proved herself thoroughly at home In
the methods OF parliamentary usage.
The chairman was made q member OF
the convention, with all the rights and
privileges except voting. Only three
unions, Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor
and Ellsworth, we're represented by dele
gates, but the treasurers report showed
that Ave unions had paid dues for more
than 10 members.
An excellent report was given by the
local president OF Bar Harbor union, Miss
Nina NJ. Emery. Ellsworth, reported by
the secretary, Mrs. Nettie Fullerton, had
done good work along many lines.
Southwest Harbor, reported by the local
secretary, had a few good deeds to its
credit. The sedgwick union was reported
by letter from Miss Cole, and can safely
claim praiseworthy efforts in many
directions.
