The Edneyville Township Singing
convention closed its nrst year with
Mt. Home church on the fifth Sunday
in August. The convention was or
ganized at Edneyville church little
more than a year ago with two choirs
and closed its first year with seven
choirs enrolled. There has been a.
marked Improvement In the singing in
the township and the convention has
been the means of this improvement
At. Mt. Home the convention was well
represented by different churches, and

the past. The next convention meets
with Edneyvile church the fifth Sun
day in November. All churches and
Sunday schools in the township are
invited to send choir, as no church
or Sunday school can thrive without
good singing. And that is what the
convention hopes to do-arouse every
church and Sunday school in the town.

Bordeaux reports officially that the
British army has crossed the River
