SUNDAY SCHOOLS AND
NEW RAILROAD LINES
Baptist Valley is Besieged by the
Flying Squadron Surveyors
Camps Locating Right of
Way For Virginian.

Last Sunday the "Flying Squadron"
invaded Baptist Valley in short
Sunday School campaign, and had a
good day, and it is hoped, Il profitable
one. The day was ideal from the
weather point of view. With the best
OF cars and an expert driver, the trip
alone was worth the time and trouble.
DAILEY'S CHAPEL.
Messrs. j. N. Harman, Prof. Collie
hon and this scribe, representatives of
the county Sunday School Associa-
ton, composed the squadron, which
left town Sunday morning at 9:45
III Prof. Golehon's smooth run
ming Ford and ut 1915 drew up at
Dailey's chapel, where theiiirst meeting
was held. Henry Daley is the faith
full Superintendent, and is doing his
best under difficulties. What Mr..
Daley, and perhaps every other SUI
perintendent in the country needs. is
the support and help of the grown
up people of mis- community. He
hopes and prays that he will have the
help he needs in his unseliish efforts
to make his school a success.
All OF us made short speeches, as
did also Rev. Wiley Iost, who lives
nearby, and Mr.. Daley, the Super
intendent.
AT BANDY'S CHAPEL.
Mr.. A. c. Fowler, the Superintendent
at Bandy's Chapei, had arranged Tor
general Sunday rally in the after
noon, and the church was well filed
with people from the community. Sew
eral schools were represented. Prof.
Sam Allison Is choir master here, and
he gave US some good inspiring Sun
day School songs.
Each member of the squadron made
a few remarks, which seemed to be
well received. Prof. Gollehon can do
more than one thing, and do all well.
lie can make good Sunday School
speech among other things, as well as
teach school successfully.
