JOHNSTON LETTER.
w. C. T. u. Meeting Held. Off
GERS Elected. Post Office I'm
proved. Annual Meet
ing of w. M. U.

The w. G. T. L. meeting was
held on Friday afternoon with Mrs.
J. P. Bean and despite the exceed
ingly hot aftern Don there was full
attendance and with such interest
manifested in the cause, there re-
suited splendid meeting. Mrs. I.
P. Denny, president, opened the
meeting with a short song service
and after scripture an earnest prayer
was offered by Mrs. Olin Edison.
There were good reports from the
officers and superintendent. The
subject for the afternoon was Un-
fermented wine," and after few
remarks on the subject by Mrs.
Denny, a paper on "Unfermented
wine'' was read by Miss Eva Rush
ton. Queries on wine in which all
participated proved very interesting.
This being the afternoon for the
election of officers, this was taken
up. The fact that Mrs. Denny would
soon make her home elsewhere, and
thus removing from the union Its
president and one of its best mem
bers was deeply deplored. She has
been the president for number OF
years and by her earnest efforts has
made the union the strong active
organization it is. Her resignation
was accepted with much regret. The
election resulted as follows: Presi-
dent, Miss Zena Payne; vice-presi-
dent, Mrs. NJ. T. Turner; recording
secretary, Mrs. Olin Edison; cor
responding secretary, Mrs. j. p.
Bean; treasurer, Mrs. J. w. Marsh.

ed at later meeting and delegates
