This town and the new church was
honored last week by the presence of
a large number of young people and
others in the meeting of the Christian
Endeavor Societies of the county.
An interesting program was prepared
and the parts were carried out, though
there were some absences on the
part of the speakers. Nearly all Of
the local societies were represented,
some in large numbers. The Junior
societies were accorded the same
reception as the Seniors. Capt.
Averill gave officers and delegates
free ride around the lake on the "Ben
Hur" and those present seemed much
pleased with the reception, the seem
cry, and the occasion generally. Our
people enjoyed the convention very
much, and great good will result from
it. There are twenty one unions in
the county and about 800 members.
Those present were much pleased
with the new church. The thanks of
the convention are extended to the
people for their generous hospitality.
