Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
Tuesday morning, August 18th,
Mrs. Prescott Lyon took me to the
hospitable home Of Mrs. }. L.
Grifis, where l soon felt at home.
In the afternoon meeting was
held at Red Oak Grove church,
speaking first to The sunbeams and
then to the grown-ups. The
church has some earnest workers
and we expect to hear from them
again. Wednesday morning Mrs.
Grifis and I went to Golfers for
the meeting there. Mrs. Mathis
took charge of as in her own genial
way. The meeting there was we'll
attende,. and the work is promls,
ing. Thursdaylmorning Mrs. Math-
is sent me to Hardy's church
nine miles away. A meeting was in
progress. l spoke at close of morn
ing service, organized w. 81. S.
with fourteen members, and left i'm.
lnediateIy for Augusta. Mrs. Townes
prosided delightful lunch which
w9senjoyed on the road. l took
train at Augusta for Clark's Hill.
Mrs. T. J. Briggs was chosen as
president of w. M. S. at Hardy's.
l failed to get names of other Off
GERS. Just few ladies came 10 the
meeting at CIark's Hill but we had
good time together anyway. Mrs.
Eugenia Middleton was my hostess
there, and president of the society:
Mrs. NJ. Z. Walker took charge
of your worker at Modoc. a goodly
company of men and women met us
at the church. Mrs. Walker is an
enthusiastic leader of the Sunbeams.
The president of the w. NJ. 5.
seemed determined to lead her wo-
men to greater achievements.
Saturday night found me in the
genial company of DR.. and Mrs.
Blackwell at Parksville. These good
people believe in using q worker.
Instead of one appointment as | ex-
pected, they had made one for both
morning and evening. Good crowds
met us each time. Some of the wo-
men there are still working outside
the woman's missionary society, but
We are expecting them to come over
with us. The president, Mrs. Dorm,
was away because of sickness in her
family. Sunday night was spent
with Mrs. Garrett Talbert. Bro.
Talbert is also very interested in
our work.
A series of meetings was in
progress at Plum Branch which We
enjoyed very much. The genial,
whole-souled pastor, Rev. &. NJ.
Sexton, gave me the hour imlne-
diately after morning service. A
large crowd and splendid attention.
Four or five new members were Sc
cured for w. M. S. At night |
made short talk to the children.
Next day the ladies were asked to
remain a few minutes at close OF
service. A short talk was made on
methods of officers elected for fol-
lowing year. Mrs. Banks, my pleas
ant hostess asked to be relieved of
presidency so Mrs. Harper was
chosen as new president of w. M.
S. Mrs. Pearl Blackwell was re-
elected as Sunbeam leader. These
folks have power in their pastor
and wife, as they are both heart and
soul in the woman's work. Wednes'
day morning August 96, Mrs.
Sexton took me to the annual meet
ing at Edgefeld union at Bethany
church. This large country church

gether TO report past achievements

Chesterfield annual meeting. Mrs.
Minis has a loyal set of and women,
it has been a pleasure to work with
