Account of Enjoyable Occasion at Lit.
tie River Church.
Editor Press and Banner:
| L want to ask for space in your val
liable paper to write up the proceedings
of the Spring meeting of the Abbeville
County Singing Convention.
The Convention met with the Little
River Church on April 23rd. Presi-
dent T. P. Milford called the Conven-
tion to order at 10 o'clock. The open
ing exercise consisted of a song by the
Convention, and a prayer by the pas
tor of the church Rev. r. E. Small.
| The frat business before the conven-
ton was the election of officers for the
next year, which resulted in the re-
election of Mr.. T. P. Milford as Presi-
dent, Mr.. j. G. Smith Secretary, Mr..
j.. r. MCGEE Vice President, Mr.. J. B.
Hampton. Chaplain Miss Matte Will
liams, Organist.
The committee of arrangements had
every thing in readiness, a nice pro-
gram had been written out and the
committee had discharged their duty
perfectly. A good supply of teachers
and professors were on hand for the
opening exercises: Prof. J. B. Vaug-
han, of Athens, Georgia; Prof. J. w.
More, of Bowman, Ga; Prof. J. T..
More Of Bethlehem, Ga. These men
understand singing and did valuable
service in our Convention.
The address of welcome by Rev. r.
E. Small was up to date, and the reply
by Mr.. J. R. MCGEE was also timely.
Mr.. Small paid high compliment to
the good cooks of Abbeville County
and I can agree with him, fof have
one of them cooking for me. ..
Rev. o. Y. Bonner of Due West was
present by invitation, and made an ad-
dress which was greatly enjoyed by the
large audience, and encouraging to the
officers of the Convention. The Due
West Choir was also present by.invi-,
tation, and did valuable service in the
singing line. ~
Prof. John T. Milford and daughter
and Prof. Henry w. Milford and sis
ter, of Anderson County, was at our
Convention. 1t is quite q treat to hear
these people sing, and the latch strings
Of our doors ever hang on the outside
to them. Profs. D. J. Bolt and w. w.
Hale of Anderson County were also
present at the convention. These are
rising young men and I hope 10 see
them at the top of their profession.
We had another Anderson man at our
Convention in the person of Mr.. F. w.
Banister, who was good help in sing
ing.
There was a great deal of interest
manifested in the Convention from the
g.
presant on Saturday; on Sunday the
church would not begin to hold the
people. All was quiet and orderly.
The Convention adjourned at Up. m.,
and every one said good-by and turned
their faces homeward.
