Last week NC had the pleasure of visit
ing the meeting of the choir of the Metho-
dist, and also OF the Baptist Church. The
! Baptist choir Is under the supervision of
Prof. Parker and lady, whose reputation
as excellent vocalists needs no comment !.
! or the Methodist choir, Miss Fannie
Moore and Mr.. Z. Il. Williams merit the
united support of the members OF their
church in their arduous effort to improve
that beautiful and Heaven born part Of
worship.

we note the laying of plank walk from

pair of the finest, best made and ncatcst
fitting boots we have ever seen on the feet
OF any person. The design was origiua
with Mr.. sullivan, the work neatly done

don't think Mt. sullivan has a superior in
Tennessee.
