Missionary Conference at
Baptist Church.

The Missionary Conference was a
success. The attendance was good. rep
resenting the various churches of the
Tales Creek Association. The delegat
es were promptly domiciled in the var
ious homes and hotels, and were loud
in the praises of our hospitality. This
was due in no small measure TO the tact
and ability of Mrs. Sue Harrington, who
had charge OF the special work, nobly
assisted by the other ladies of the church.
Among the visitos from a distance
we recall. Rev. ID. w. Powell. ID. ID of
Louisville, Rev. Mr.. Duston OF Brazil,
Mrs. Kate Hinkle of Louisville, and
Miss Leechman of the same city. We
do not not like TO make comparisons,
but DIR. Powell and Miss LeechmaD.
were especially happy in their efforts.

these speakers, will not soon forget how

because of these meetings.
