The convention proper will be open ed Wednesday evening at 8:30 and will be presided over by Miss Kate C. Hall, state president. The busi ness meeting will be followed by a re ception to the visiting delegates, the reception being under the auspices of the Huey Alexander Memorial Circle. The program for the opening evening has been made unusually attractive. Mrs. W. I. Wilson is . the efficient chairman of the music committee, and through her efforts several beautifui numbers have been added to the pro gram. Mr. Rob Irvin has consented to assist in the music and a chorus of twenty voices has been secured, from among Augusta’s most gifted singers. The annual election of state offi cers will be held during this conven tion. The president officers are Miss Kate C. Hall, president, now of Jack sonville, Fla.; Mrs. N. G. Brewer of Savannah, state secretary; Mrs. B. C. Kennedy of Savannah, state treas urer. Miss Kate C. Hall is also a member of central council. Miss Hall will not stand for re-election on ac count of her removal from the state, but it is thought that the other state officers will stand for re-election. The officers of the International Or der of King’s Daughters are as fol lows: president. Miss Kate Bond of New j rk; first vice president, Miss GeorgYP IJbby of New York; second vice preisdent, Miss Annie M. Brown of Toronto, Canada; third vice presi dent, Miss Jennie C.

The First Baptist church and Sun day school rooms will be beautifully and appropriately decorated for the occasion in. The King’s Daughters’ colors, purple and white. Luncheon will be served each day of the con vention in the Sunday school rooms, and in this way the delegates will be saved much time in going and coming and the business can be disposed of more hurriedly. The meetings are open to the pub lic, with the exception of the execu tive meeting, and all interested in King’s Daughters’ work will be given a cordial welcome.
