THE ANNUAL ELECTION OP OFFICERS
The seventeenth annual meeting of the
Pittsburg Association lor the Improvement
of the Poor was held in the parlor of the
Dispensary buildincr yesterday. Mrs. "V.
A. Herron presided and Mrs. S. E. Lippin
cott was Secretary. The meeting was well
attended. Mrs. S. E. Lippincott presented
her report for the year, which was ex
tremely satisfactory. The work of the
society is increasing year bv year, and Uie
number of families assisted exceeded that
of last year by a great number. The con
tributions exceeded those of last year, but
there was a notable diminution in the
Thanksgiving Day offering!. The people did
not respond to the call for contributions as
they have in former years.
liie report on the Oakmont Home and
Temporary Home showed remarkable
progress. The success of these institutions
surprised all the ladies. No person had
any idea of the magnitude of the work
which had been accomplished. The four
roomed cottage which lias been attracting
a great deal of attention among the mana
gers was reported finishea at a cost of f 950.
It will be used as a sanitarium wtiere any
of the children who are taken sick will be
cared for. From 50 to 80 children every
two weeks during the summer enjoyed the
advantages that the home afforded. The
great number of mothers who were given
outin gs during the summer was another
surprise.
Decreasing the Society's Debt
The Treasurer, W. E. Thompson, was not
present, but his report was read by Mrs.
Lippincott. The debt of the society has
been decreased J584. The total indebted
ness now is $990. The Oakmont and Tem
porary Home lunds have quite a little bal
ance left, but the payment ot the J950 for
the new cottage will reduce the surplus
considerable.
The election of officers resulted as fol

THESE FOUR STYLES
AT HALF-PRICE.
This may seem startling, and so it is, but it's a downnKht fact. The styles, as you can see, are the latest and most popular, but
the trouble is we have about one thousand more ol each style than the lateness of the spason would warrant And so we are com
pelled to make a cut in the price in order to effect an immediate clearance. As soon a. this surplus sockof 4,000 garments will be
disposed of the prices will go up again a. before. Now, don't delay, but "take time by the forelock" and be on hand as early as
prssible. Bon't come later than next Saturday, at any rate, as this week will surely make an end of this unexampled half-price
offering.
