ments for following day will be made

Every fiddler is expected to play a
piece of his own selection singly.
1t is desirous that we have several
contests. We want every fiddler who
will, to throw out challenge some
thing like this: Il hereby challenge
any other fiddler in Bamberg county
to play in contest at the Fiddlers
convention in July" naming piece
you wish yourself and him to play.
Let it be "Raccoon on the Rail- or
anything else. Both contestants are

ded to the membership who do not
reside in Bamberg county. All old
members will be retained regardless
of where they live, but anyone liv-
ing out of the county may send in a
challenge and play in contest, if his
challenge is accepted. We will add,
that we think we can safely promise
that any challenge which may come
from outside the county will be ac-
cepted.

and new ones also, to notify us at
once if they can be with us, so We
may know how to make up the pro-
gram, and to secure homes for you

cussed by Revs. J. D. Higgins, P. A.

tifully and tastefully prepared and
served by the good sisters of Georges
Creek, after which the union reas-

the choir and prayer by Rev. P. A.
Bolen, the second and third topics
