cided to give you few items from
our school and community.
Mrs. +. p. White and Mr.. Joe
Whites baby, We are glad to say,
have recovered after continued i'll
ness.
We are sorry to learn that Aunt
Patsy" White is sick again, and her
sister whom every one knows as
Aunt Betsy" is still confined to
her bed. These two aged ladies are
the same mentioned by our last cor
respondent.
AFR. Manning Freeland is now
confined to his bed with slight at.
tack of pneumonia. We hope for
him a speedy recovery.
Mrs. Carrie Freeland spent the
week end with her daughter Mrs.
John G. Wells.
Mr.. John Walls has moved into
his large residence near Mr.. A. B..
Barden, thus bringing his children
nearer to school. We are glad to
have MIR. Walls for neighbor.
Miss Essie Bussey, our assistant,
has large music class which seems
to be making very good progress.
Miss Essie Busy was called home
last week on a sad mission, the
death of her grandmother. She has
the sympathy of our community.
Miss Nettie Frenland spent last
week with her sister, Mrs. J. G.
! Wells, at Plum Branch.
Rev. B. II. Covington preached
to large congregation at our school
house last Sunday afternoon, his
text being Acts 1910. He spoke
beautifully on the deliverance of
Peter from prison, by an angel Of
the Lord, and of the wonders
wrought by prayer. We could see
! in this lesson how all the church
and that company of people who
had gathered in Mary's house were
engaged in prayer for his deliver
ance, yet when he knocked at the
gates and the damsel told that it
was Peter, they did not believe her.
ust so it is with most of us when
we pray. We lack faith. 20 We of
little faithn Lord, help thou our
unbelief! Let us pray that God will
give US more faith.
Our school is getting on very
nicely, only two pupils being ab-
sent last week. The illness of Mrs.
White and aunt Betsy has caused
us TO lose one of our large girls
from school. We are sorry to lose
Belle.
