THE PUBLIC LEDGER THE KING'S DAUGHTERS. The Stale Convention Closed on Frl- flay. Oxford had within her borders last week that noble band of King's Daughters, under the leadership of Mrs. W. S. Black, who were hand somely entertained by oui citizens. The convention was held in the Presbyterian church and the pro ceedings were of a most interesting character, and were largely attended by the ladies, who have their heart in such work. The following taken from the Ox ford correspondent of the State Chronicle shows the work accom plished by this noble band of women and other personal mentions: Reports from various circles show that during the past year $2,921.00 was expended for the relief of dis tressed families, and various other charitable causes, and the good which has been accomplished by this is beyond calculation. This is really only a yery small part of the work that has been done, and of which no report has been made to the State Convention. Rescue Work, reported by Mrs. Hayes, showed that the Rescue Cir cle of Raleigh had accomplished great good in obtaining homes, em ployment and proper protection for young girls left without natural support, and much remains to be done on this line, and it is hoped that the friends of oiphan girls, &c, will not remit their labors, as eter nity alone can show the good ac complished in this way. The order now numbers seventy five Circles in the State, fifteen of which are in Raleigh doing the King's service. After considering invitations from various towns and cities in the State it was decided to hold the next con vention in the town of Statesville. Miss M. E. Carter, of Durham, N. C, was elected State Secretary by acclamation a most excellent selec tion. Mrs. Judge Clark, of Raleigh, was elected Assistant State Secretary, Mrs. Hayes having declined the po sition. The headquarters of the order for the State will be in Raleigh as here tofore. At 8:30 p. m., after the conclusion of the Convention, Friday evening, the "Lend a Hand" Circle and the people of Oxford tendered an infor mal reception in the Presbyterian church, which was very much en joyed by all present. Refreshments were served at 11:30. During this reception another cir cle of King's Daughters was organ ized, consisting of 7 or 8 members, of which Mrs. Lanier, organist of the Presbyterian church, was made president. The general results of the meet ing were of the most gratifying na ture. Each member of the order will return home fully inspired with new zeal for the woik and it is fully believed that the coming year will be the most successful of all in the history of the Daughters of the State. The King's Daughters were all profuse in their thanks for the hos pitable manner in which they were entertained by the Daughters and friends, each vieing with the other in entertaining the visitors. Every delegate had a home in which she was well provided for, and each left the grand old town with the most kindly feelings for all the good peo ple of Oxford. We desire also, to express our pro found thanks to Mrs. Lanier, organ ist of the Presbyterian church in Oxford, and to the charming young ladies from various choirs who sang so sweetly on this occasion. We es pecially make mention of Mrs. S. W. Parker, Mrs. Cherry, Miss Alice Jones, Miss Laura Cordon, Miss Fin laytor, teacher at the Orphan Asy lum, and others, whose names are not remembered. The thanks of the Convention are also due to the noble King's Sons, Dr. Wyche and Mr. Lyon, who so greatly aided the ladies in the work. The writer is not unmindful of the kind hospitality of Dr. Williams and family. B. j Make Me a Populist. Stop for a moment, O Time, in your flight, Make me a Populist, just for tonight ; Let the black flag of despair be unfurled, Darken the lights in this giddy old world ; Give me a whirlwind of trouble and strife, Curtain with darkness the bright side of life ; People the future with phantoms of woe, Feed me on crow, mister, feed me ou crow. Pause, Father Time, and throw open the gate, 1 am so weary of feeling first-rate : Pasture me out where the pickings is short, Scourge me with hunger and hear me cavort ; Teach me to sit in contentment all day, Howling "Refawm !" while my neighbors make hay; Fill my flat head with swift -moving wheels, Then I shall know how a Populist feels. Nebraska Journal. Look at the size of tLe ordinary pilJ, Think of all the trouble and disturbance that it causes you. Wouldn't you wel come something easier to take, and easier in its ways, if at the same time it did you more good? That is the case with. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They're the smallest in size, the mildest in action, but the most thorough and far-reaching in results. They follow nature's meth ods, and they give help that lasts. Con stipation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, Sick and Bilious Headache, and all de raDgemnts of the liver, stomach and bow els, are prompsly relieved and peraaa nentljr cured. "If we can't cure your catarrh, no mat ter how bad your case or of how long standing, we'll pay you $500 in cash." That is what is promised by the proprie tors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Doesn't it prove, better than any words could, that this is a remedy that cures Cttarrh? Costs only 50 cents. Attention.
