THE NEWS FROM Two CoUNrIEs.



The w. G. T. u, of Canton, held an
afternoon meeting in the Methodist
Chapel last Thursday afternoon. The
meeting was a success in every particular,
and was most encouraging to the new
Union, which is now struggling in its
infancy. The devotional exercises were
led by Mrs. Rosie Fogg. Mr.. Bennie
Harris was present with his choir and
they sang some most beautiful hymns. A
pathetic solo, entitled "Papa don't go"
was exquisitely rendered by Mrs, Harry
De. Camp, and another equally pretty,
"Christ is all, j" was given by Mr.. Harris.
Mrs. Mary e. Lawrence gave very fine
paper, subject, Evenings with the Con-
vention." There is no doubt that the
paper aroused much interest in tbs; work,
and we trust it will do US great good at
Canton. We hope to have Mrs. Lawrence
with us many times. Pastors Myers and
Baier were called upon and responded
with earnest and encouraging words in
behalf of the W. G. T. U. The meeting
closed with singing "America." There
was a good congregation, considering
the sickness that is prevailing in the
community, and all who came rejoiced
that they were present. We hope and
trust that our little Union may grow and
do much good work in the cause.
