of her guest, Miss Tallulah Gregg of

The ladies of the Presbyterian
church held a special meeting on
Tuesday afternoon, December IL, to
discuss having an entertainment to
raise funds to finish paying for the

The proceeds will go to the payment
of the cost of the carpet and what is
made over and above this amount the
ladies decided to use for the purpose
of building fence around the new

ladies of the church for the purpose
of buying the lot comes in now at
