RcprcScnted--sSuC Meeting.
Work of Secretary Moore.

The first annual meeting of the l.au-
rcns County Baptist Institute was held
last Thursday and Friday with the First
Baptist church. Twcnty-four of the
thirty Baptist Sunday schools embraced
in the Laurcns Association were repro
scntcd. The program, as published in
The Advertiser last week, was carried
out.
The discussions of the various topics
wore peculiarly helpful and inspiring
and great good should come to the Sun
day school work Of LaurcnS county
through the inspiration and enthusiasm
aroused by them. The presence of the
Rev. j. ID. Moore, Sunday School Field
Secretary, was particularly helpful.
His Institute work was thorough and
refreshing, and his suggestions as to
the solution of many problems confront
ing the Sunday school worker were
timely and appropriate.
Everything considered, this session of
the Institute was thoroughly successful,
and if it is continued in the future with
the same degree of success that has
characterized its organization and pro-
motion up to this time, the good to
come from its influence will be far
reaching.
At the business session held Friday
afternoon the following officers were

home on South Harper street at S
o'clock Monday morning, May 25th,
after long and painful illness. His
health failed some four or five years
ago, but after taking special treatment
at two hospitals, he seemed to be on
the road to permanent recovery. How
ever, last winter he suffered rccm-
renee Of his trouble, lingering along
until few weeks ago when his cond-
tion became very serious and finally
hopeless. He had the attention of the
best physicians here and made a brave
fight against disease.

In the pleasant home of Mrs. Martha q

friends assembled to witness the mar
riage of Miss Mamie Boyd to Mr..
James Bennett, the Rev. j. d. Pitts
officiating and Miss Tutwiler, Of Vir-
ginia, playing the wedding march. The
bride was lovely as she stood beside the
handsome groom and the solemn words
were spoken that united their young
lives. She was robed in soft white
with veil and carried bouquet of
Madonna lilies.
Fifteen years have passed since then,
bringing into this home its vicissitudes
of shadows and sunshine. The sanity
mother has been called to her home
above and one little daughter, yet to
Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett these years have
brought prosperity and happiness which
they have generally shared with others.
Again, in the sunny Maytime, when
Springs blossoms are sweetest and
nesting birds carol their happy love
songs, friends assembled. This time in
the elegant residence Of Mr.. and Mrs
Bennett on West Main street to cele-
brate their crystal wedding anniversary
lt was pleasant coincidence that
Rev. Mr. Pitts was again present, also
the same organist and many Of the
same guests that were present on that
wedding evening fifteen years ago.
The bridal party entered the beauti-
fully decorated parlor to the sound of
the wedding march, played just as be-
fore, bevy of fair young maidens
coming in with them. The bonnie
bride, now fine matron, wore the same
dress and veil worn on that night so
long ago and again carried lilies.
She was radiantly happy standing
beside her handsome husband and three
fine children, while good Mr. Pitts told
them of their many causes for graft
tudc and invoked the blessings of God
upon them through the coming years
The decorations were in green, yell
low and white, ferns, palms and rare
yellow callas and gold band lilies with
starry eyed daisies from the meadow.
The same color scheme was carried out
in the delicious refreshments served.
/ The gifts Of cut glass were numerous
and handsome.
| All present voted this a very delight
/ full occasion and unite in wishing for
| Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett many happy re-
turns Of their wedding anniversary.
