Monday and Tuesday nights,
Monday night at M E church,

M E church. Very likely the
Baptist church will be selected
as the place of meeting. That
church is centrally located and
has a greater seating capacity
than any other church house in
town, and is far preferable over
the court house. The court
house means to go up stairs md
this with old people means to
stay at home. Our choice would
be the Baptist church.
