W. Watson, J. B. Reid. W. W. Lowis. J. H. Ladd and Wm. D. Mat- ney. This committee went to work and kept the ball rolling.

Willard, our peerless leader, whose life and work have just been so signally honored by our state and nation in placing her statue among those of the greatest in our country. Whether our Greenville Union has always lived up to all the provisions of this declaration is not for us to say, but that we have been "persistent" our record amply testifies.
