T THE BUTTERFLY’S TRAIL
By Albert Mary Thweatt
My. My! If we only had a summer resort near where
people of our race can go occasionally and enjoy the
balmy ocean breezes and take a cool stimulating dip.
tiuess all we can do at present, unless we decide to travel
long distances to a beach—is to get by a fan, relax and
have a big pitcher of lemonade near.
Before continuing with my chatter I must offer con¬
gratulations to a club organized 55 years ago and still
active. This club known as the Brownsville Protective
and Relief Society limits its number to twenty-five mem¬
bers, vacancies filled only in case of death of one leaving
the city.. The origin of the Society is quite interesting,
a fire m the neighborhood inspiring a group to organize
at the time when there was no fire equipment in the
neighborhood.. Brownsville at the time was only a su-
burb of Savannah. In order to put out the fire (which
by the vuy occurred at the home of the late Mrs. Rose
Anna ■* *■**““ Davis who at the time wine lived nvcu on u II Harden uoiuci. and aim 38th) uuv.il,
the men formed a bucket brigade and finally extinguish-
ed the fire. That very night these men and women in
the neighborhood agreed td form a Protective and Rebel
Society. .Its membership was composed of men and wo-
men bu the men finally withdrew and the women contin- —
ued. Some of the past Presidents included Mrs. Lula
present president, Mrs. Carry Baker. Many of the pres-
ent members have filled the places of persons deceased,
The membership include Mesames Gladys Broughton,
Carrie Baker, Anna Barnes, Mary Davis, Ruth Haven
Magdaline Seabrooks, Maggie Harris, Katie Harper, Bell
Houston, Josephine Hill, Rosa Parkhurst Miller, Rhiner
Miller, Fannie Pettie, Pauline Stoney, Nellie Taylor, Mrs.
L. Horne Tvson, Alma Califf, Kate Boyd, C'harlesetta
Myers, Pearl Williams, Edith Sr#nn and Carrie# Rouse.
This fine group of leaders meet once a month and also
boost a Christmas Savings Club through their organiza-
tion.
HERE AND THERE—Mrs. Josephine Hill leaving

Congratulations to the Deacons of the First Congre-
