H. Mitchell, Mrs. ]. w. Hansard, Mrs.
John F. Wilson, Mrs. j. w. Turner,
and Mrs. A. F. Pickard.
Mrs. G. E. Southland, in behalf of the
circle leaders, then presented Miss
Sarah Polk, beloved member and hon.
orary president of the society, with a
bounqet of lovely white chrysanthe-
NUNS. Mrs. Southland made a few
earnest remarks expressing the af.
lection and esteem of the leaders, and
Miss Sarah responded with few
words of heartfelt appreciation.

follows: Honorary president, Miss
Sarah Polk; president, Miss Willie
Hartwell; vice president, Mrs. l. bod
