HlenDeTSnlQ 1OU InGIe 30 women enrolled in the missionary society and much of the inspiration and success of the early church life is due to the great sacrifice and devotion of this first band of mission workers. Mrs. Ledbetter was for 12 years treasurer of the society and still has in her possession reports and several receipts signed by Mrs. Butler, mother of MT. c. H. Butler, of 301 East Sixth street. The last quar- terly reports of the society vary from SC to $S, while the present reports show an average of $495. Considering the privations and the struggles of those early days, this amount in dollars and cents could not be more precious in the sight or the master than the mites con tributed so unselfishly in troublous times.

She told a most absorbing story of the organization of the first missionary society in Alabama, to which she belonged, at Eufaula. Mrs. W. B. Arberry of Anniston and Mrs. J. W. Newman of Lincoln, were also present and were among the earliest members of the local so- ciety Mrs Ledbetter, however, is the only surviving member of the original band, having been con stant attendant. Mrs. Young has been a leading spirit in the organi- zation and constant attendant since 1891.
 At the conclusion of the meeting, which will go down in the history as a most important event, Mrs. Ledbetter was presented with handsome birthday cake bearing T5 candles. She was showered with flowers and gifts of many kinds and best wishes for many happy birth days. She is most remarkable woman, her health is excellent she takes an active part In her church and home life and looks much younger than 75 years of age. She makes her home with her son, MT.
