One of the most enthusiastic and
largely attended 8. s. Conventions ever
held in Highland county, was held here
last Friday and Saturday. The Presi.
dent, Rev. G. w. II. Smith, who had
previously canvassed the county in the
interest Of the work, was present from
start to finish, conducting the affairs Of
the convention, looking after every de-.
tail and wisely pushing every depart
ment with q commendable zeal. The
Secretary, L. L. Faris, was prompt and
efficient in his work. The various speak.
ers assigned on the program had thor.
oughly studied their subjects and spoke
with earnestness and enthusiasm. The
music was excellent and contributed
largely to the enjoyment of the occasion.
Nearly every township in the county
was represented by delegates and visit
ors, amounting in all to nearly three
hundred. The attendance from our
own vicinity swelled the number to
such vast proportions that the large,
commodious church failed to furnish
standing room, and some were turned
away. The patrons of the two Sunday
Schools of this place, and other citizens
of the vicinity provided liberal and
bountiful entertainment, we think for
the visitors, and could have fed as many
more and still have had several baskets
full of fragments to take up. Our people
were delighted with the opportunity of
entertaining 90 many earnest, intelligent
Sunday School workers from different
parts of the county, and feel that We
have been benefited by their presence.
