A Buffalo Baraca Reception.

Last Saturday evening the Baraca
class OF the Methodist Sunday school
entertained the Philathea class, the
teachers of the Sunday school and
the Ladies' Church Aid Society at a
fruit supper. The crowd gathered
at the school house in the large up-
stairs room, which was turned into
a play ground. In spite of the fact
that the night was not one of those
on which the silvery moonlightn
invites one out there was a nice lit.
tie bunch of seventy-fve Sunday
school folks present, and these folks
did not come out for the 'loaves
and fishes' only either, for as bad
as the weather was Sunday morning
they were at Sunday school with
nearly as many more. 1t seemed
that those who might be called old,
II they were not present, forgetting
their years and cares, enjoyed the
games as much as the 'youneer
set. Some of the young ladies
rendered some delightful music on
the piano with singing interspersed.
At 8 O'Clock supper was an
nounced and "ilka lassie and her
laddie" marched down to the dining
room. The long table, stretching
clean across the hall, was very
tastily decorated, laden with the old
fashioned pound cake, fruit cake,
oranges, apples and bananas, with
delicious ham sandwiches and lem
onade in abundance. There was
bread enough and to spare" and
each one seemed to enjoy this feat
lre of the occasion.
After the supper the crowd re-
assembled upstairs. Bro. Brown,
The pastor of the Presbyterian
church here, made short but help
'ul and interesting talk on personal
He was followed by

who spoke of the social side of the
church and Sunday school.
The general opinion Of those pres
mt is that the evening was profitably
pent and they are looking to an
'ther such one in the not too far
'istant future.

1t does seem that the plea made by

the raising of supplies at home

urgent appeal will yield fruit and
that the farmers of Union county
will take care of the supplies and
then raise cotton. Mr.. Watson says
