lied Literary Society for the encour-

names. The meeting was called to or
der by Rev. Mr.. Giles Leath and APP
pointing Esq. Shea temporary chair
man and Mr.. F. A. Sullender Secreta-
rY. The chairman having stated the
object of the meeting and after the
adoption of resolutions and by-laTs the
society proceeded to elect permanent
officers which resulted in electing Rev.
Giles Leath for President and Mr.. F.
A. Sullender Secretary, Mr.. J H Gar
rett and Miss Mamie Smith Critics.
After the business of the society was
finished we were entertained with
splendid music by Miss Mamie Smith
on the piano, DIR. J K z Rucker on
the violin and Mr.. j S Lawrence on
the guitar. So Mr.. Editor you see the
good seed you sowed when you were
among us is likely to bring forth good
results by stimulating our people to
encourage education. We were glad
to see Mr.. r H Wood and Mr.. A NJ
Lambeth, Jr. who paid us a short visit
on business. Hope they viii come
again and stay longer, not on the same
kind of business however.
The BULLETIN is growing in favor

enabled to still further extend its cir
cuIation until it becomes the means of
still greater good in our county.
