Il is with feelings sone" hat tiogec With
sadness that We record the fact that The
Charleston Baptist Association has met and

es.iog, but it has left many pleasant memo
ries. The officers we're the Rev WI. Sn'der'
s2of Eloree, moderator; Col. Zimmerman
Davis, of Charleston, treasurer. aud Ar
Whitfield Wells, clerk. In brief newspaper
letter like this, we could not do justice to
the various reports of the Associotion COM
mi:,ees and the talks made on the same, so
We will not attempt to touch on this feature

Z has met with Bethel in the last ten years, and

There was side feature connected with
the Association which was an unexpected
and interesting one. After the Friday
morning session, the Rev. E. Wells, Of
Charleston, took kodak picture of the
west side of the church, by which side we're
assembled a large number OF our people, also

natured crowd who had their picture taken
{ and we may safely say that never in all her
history has Privateer had 80 many of her
children g picture taken at one time.
We thought of makiog mention of the
visitors, exclusive of delegates, who attended
the Association from outside of the township,
but we have abandoned the idea, there were
81 roa,,v v;e;fo,e and ve faar onr lief xould
not be correct.
