The new head of the Woman’s club elected at the meeting Wednesday afternoon is Mrs. W.N. Holt. The chairman of the nominating committee, Miss Mattie Pou, in making her report, stated that it was with reluctance that Mrs. Holt consented to have her name placed before the blub but when promised the cooperation of the entire membership yielded to the insistence of the committee. Mrs. Holt is an active club member, is familiar with the plans of the organization, and the selection seems particularly fortunate.
Other officers chosen at the meeting Wednesday were vice-president, Mrs. T.J. Lassiter; corresponding secretary, Miss Ava Myatt; recording secretary, Mrs. Joe Davis; treasurer, Miss Bettie Lee Sanders; chairman of social service, Mrs. Paul Brown; civics, Mrs. H.C. Hood; library, Mrs. N.M. Lawrence with Mrs. J.W. Keen and Mrs. Roger A. Smith Jr., assistants; literary, Mrs. E.J. Wellons; music, Miss Lallah Rookh Stephenson with Mrs. C.V. Johnson assistant; home economics, Mrs. Kirby L. Rose.
Annual reports were read at the meeting, the treasurer making a particularly good showing. The amount raised during the past year was $724.54, the ways and means committee of which Mrs. T.S. Ragsdale has been chairman, turning in $533.03 of that sum.
The special work of the club at present is raising funds for a new club house which is hoped will be erected at an early date on the lot already purchased on the corner of Market and First Streets.
