The union meeting OF Tue Giillu

church yesterday and day before
and was a very profitable meeting.
On Saturday the several queries
were discussed, the following breth-
rem taking active part: J. c. Nor
Gan, J. M. Bussey, p. IL. Russey,
L. G.. Bell, Ed Bunch, j. c.. Harv-

of officers the following officers
were elected: DR.. d. AZ. j. Bell,

Sunday morning the exercises
were in the hands Of the Clark's
Hill Sunday school, Bro. J. G.: Nc
Kie, who introduced Mr.. T.. G. Tai
bert, who took< up the hour in Civ
ing a most excellent address, which
was we'll received.
At 1880 Rev. Mr.. Garrett
preached the missionary sermon, in
stead Of Rev. L. B. White, who
had written that he could not be
with us on account of the serious
illness of his father, MI. Tom
White, of Greenwood, who could
live only a short time.% :
After a most instructive sermon,
a collection was taken for state mis-
sions, amounted to s16.70. The
union had an hour recess, in which
time, we partook of refreshments,
such as the Clark's Hill people
know how to prepare. The afternoon
was given over to b. Y. P. U.
work. Young Bro. Make White,
principal of Plum Branch high
school, was kept away on occount
of the serious condition of his
grandfather, and Mr.. D. N. Dorm,
was unavoidably absent, but despite
the absence of the brilliant young
b. Y. P. u. workers we had a good
meeting. Mrs. Mamie Walker came
up with a good paper and Bro. S.
T. Adams with a good speech, and
J, we were successful in drawing out
two other good speeches from
brethren Pat Bussey and Press Ian
ham. The music was good, the
preaching good, the speaking good
and the Clark's Hill hospitality I'M
bounded. The next meeting of the
union convenes with the Modoc
church.
Rev. P. B. Lanham was with us
in a spic and span new buggy, the
gift of a generous s%on-in-Faw, andI
simply rise to remark in passing;
that he has a son-in-law worth hay
ing.
Bro. Geo. Adams was also with
us enlivening the crowd with his
witticism, and by the way, George
says he don't believe those speak
Ing and catnip yarnso he has been
reading in The. Advertiser from
Parksvil2c, and we can simply refer
him to Messrs. Tap Doolittle and
Giles Minis. - .s..

ence convened her6nSatardaE and

sermon to an attentive congregation.
Mr.. Roper is one OF the youngest
presiding elders in the Methodist
church in this state, and | might

Did you ever hear SO much of

and last of all, but we trust not the
least Tin INTEREST," will be held here
