bers. The following officers were
elected: Mrs. George Carly,

Mrs. d. Mackie, treas; Miss
Douglas, Inspector. All-day
meetings have been held each
Thursday, and all kinds of work,

was given at Maury hall. The
proceeds amounted to Sl9.SS.
The funds of the former Com.

$500, were kindly turned over

Red Cross equipment fund and
$500 for supplies for the Christ
