E. R. Miller, in her graceful way in
troduced the numbers on the program.
Mrs. w, w. Pollock read poem
entitled 'The Old Time Niger" in SO
realistic and charming a manner that
one beheld the old darky paying the
tribute of love and allegiance to his
white folks.

quent and earnest plea for the inter
est of the women in the boys of tn
town who are not receiving the car
interest and protection which the.

Of fine character might, or rather
would give the time. This man woul'
not only seek to win the boys from
harmful amusements and supervis
their spare time, but would obtail
work for those who want it durinl
the summer vacation
Mrs. J. w. Crewdson, of Louisiana
who is member of the Mexico y
| D. G., spoke few words endorsing
the plea of Mr.. Ferris and paid
high tribute to the Boy Scouts o
her town, saying they were the one
who were always called upon whe
the women wanted anything done, a
| they were ever ready and eager t
be Of help without hope Of reward.
