Helping Hand.
The Helping Hand is to Try
on what the Associated Charities
is to the larger centers. The
membership endeavors to em
brace all the citizens at the
modest sum of fifty cents for
annual dues.
The meetings are held on the
second Monday of every month
from October to May in the Sun
day school rooms of the Con
gregational church at 4 p. m.
Notices of these meetings are
given out in all the churches,
and are intended to reach every
woman in Tryon, unfortunately
but few respond, and there are
seldom twenty women present,
more frequently but half that
number.
The object of this Society is
to relieve all cases of need in the
community and to investigate
these cases intelligently.
J. he bociety has tor many
years cared for the sick either in
their own homes, or as Hospital
patients when necessary, sup
plied clothes and care for mater
nity cases, cared for orphans,
clothed little children, and so on
through a long list of human
needs where hands have been
held out in supplication. The
chief source of income to the
Society are the dues, but these
are difficult to collect owing to
the poorattendance at the meet
ings. This year the Society;, has
adopted a new plan, and will
send collectors through the dif
ferent sections of the town ask
ing for three things first your
dues, second, for second hand
clothing, especially garments for
young children; and last, but in
no sense least, your Interest and
co-operation in this YOUR
