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.
