The following extract from a letter
from our beloved ex-president Mrs. S. C.
Lungworthy will ba read with interest
by the club women of Nebraska:
"Although having laid aBide tho re
sponsibilities which have rested upon
me during the past yoar, yd I can not
relinquish my interest in tho welfare
and success of our federation.
I think The Courier, aa our club or
gan, will do much to unify tho interests
of the women throughout the state if
pnly they will avail themselves of its
usefulness.
It should reach1 not only every club
but also tho home of every club woman
whore at her leisure, the ideas and
suggestions of others can be thought
over. I have thought if each club
piesident and delegate who was present
at our annual meeting and who must
have felt the inep'ration which per
meated the vi ry atmo?phere, if each of
these would make a special effort to
eecura from thoir own clubs as many
naineB bb possible it would increase tho
valuo of the paper to each membor.
(This I hope to do next week in my
own club.)
Thus it Booms to me tho leaven of
interest will continue to work until tho
Courier stands for all that id best in
our club wont.

Transvaal. Mise Sheely gave a descrip
tion of tho country, Mrs. L. P. Heeley
a character sketch of president Kruger,
Mrs. Franco tho history of the Boers
and thoir cause for revolt. Miss Grace
Roo pro3ented tho Uitlandjr's cause
for appeal to Great Britain and that
country's attitude toward the Dutch
Republic. After a thorough discuss on
of tho prospect, tho leader called for
news first, of Nebraska then of the
United States, Cuba, tho Filipines
and foreign counties respectively.
Each membor had been diligent in
collecting something from tbo news of
tho pust weok and tho amount of infor
mation that was exchanged during ono
hour would go far toward filling tho
columns of a journal. A spneial pro
gram fjrono meeting of each mouth
when frionds aro invited, is lo be pre
