FACTS FROM FAIR PLAY.
Two Sudden DeathS--Entertainc
"Among the Indians"

Fair Play, Oct. 26.-Special: Hay-
ing seen no account In your last edi-
tion of the Interdenominational Sun
day School Convention, which con-
vened with the Presbyterian church
at this place on Tuesday, October ~,
and not having a program OF the
proceedings of the day, / am wholly
unable to give a graphic account Of
this occasion, which was success
in every respect. Many prominent
speakers were present and gave
much food for thought. The day
was pleasantly, and, we trust. profit
ably spent in the discussion Of Sun
day school work in general. Many
churches responded to roll call. AS
matter of fact, the dinner was a
most important feature of the pro-
gram, and was there in abundance.
We have every evidence to believe
that the work that Is being carried
on in these conventions will accom-
plish much good In the years to
come.
