The sermon given Sunday evening by
the Rev. C. w. McCord to the travel
ing men was thoroughly enjoyed by
those present, and the attendance was
good. There should not have been Il
church large enough in our city to have
held the crowd, had they known what
a treat was in store for them. Mr.. Nc
Cord has the idea of what it takes tc
be a successful traveller. The prayer
given by Rev. w. II. Scott was food
for thought. The music, under the li-
rection of Professor Hosford Plowe
was greatly appreciated and is credit
to any church.

rectors with him except two, and
everything is being done by Mr. Con-
cannons friends to win them over.
