At this time Mrs. Weech was
called upon for the address of the
morning. Her personality was charm
ing and every word she said was
pertinent with words of wisdom and
inspiration. Every who came was
glad to have had this unusual op-
portunity of hearing this gifted and
eloquent organize of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
At the close of the address num-
ber of gentlemen who had come in,
were introduced, and Mr.. +. N.
Lott, whom we all knew to be a
great sympathizer and prohibition
advocate, ,came forward and express
ed in his gracious manner his graft
fication at having been present.
At this time the hospitality of
the Trenton ladies was most COR
daily extended, and in the church
all were seated and the lunch was
served. If there are any people in
the world who do as little as they
can do, they certainly did not live
at Trenton on this occasion, for the
dinner was abundant and elaborate
and of superior quality. There was
salad course, coffee with whipped
cream piled mountain high, and
cake of that peculiar Trenton-Har-
rison variety which has never been
elsewhere equaled.
AT the afternoon service Mrs.
Weech presented the subject of
THE Union Signal" while Mrs. t.
r. Denny of Johnston distributed
sample copies and secured aew SUBJ
scriptions. Mrs. Weech also dis
played some beautiful flower mission
verses on cards which she said were
the composition of her mother who
is still living in Washington, D. c.
Mrs. Tillman made very pleas
ing and effective talk on the Value
of music in a meeting which was
followed by that inimitable song,
THE perfect day." by Mrs. r. G.
Shannonhouse who has been of such
invaluable aid to the W. G. I. q.
at Edgefeld, in the generous use of
her great gift in song.
Mrs. j. L. Minis presented the
Palmetto White Ribbon, and Mrs.
M. p. Wells by special request, gave
that encouraging selection, The
south is going dry and received
much applause.
Much regret was expressed at the
absence of Miss Cleo Attaway, who
was detained at her home in Saluda
on account of the death of Mr.. w.
s. Crouch, an honorary member of
the Saluda union and the husband
of the president of the union at that
place.
There was a considerable number
of ladies from Johnston, EdgeGeld.
Harmony and Trenton, the Philip
pi and Clark's Hill unions not be-
ing represented probably on account
of the distance and the very cold
weather.
The Edgefeld visitors who re-
NAMED in Trenton for the evening
servise were entertained with Mrs.
J. D. Mathis, Mrs. Scott and Mrs.
T. P. Salter, returning home after
the meeting. Mrs. Weech was enter
tained also by Mrs. Mathis and
Mrs. Salter.
The evening service opened
promptly at 8 o'clock, Rev. j. K.
Walker conducting the services and
introducing Mrs. Weech, having
very kindly come over from Edges
field for that purpose.
The music was very effective,
there being two vocal duets, Prof.
Scott, principal of the Trenton High
School singing with Mr.. Vann of
Trenton and later with Mrs. Shan
nonhouse. Miss Moore, one of the
teachers of the High school was or
ganist.
Mrs. Weech made a very inter.
esting and appealing address, tax.
ing as hei subject, Bones" and
making some very practical applica-
ton of the use of the wrist bone,
the jaw bone, the back bone, in or
der to awaken the dry bones" and
finally thereby to offer up at last
as a trophy Of victory the bones"
of king alcohol. The collection
amounted to about Sl2 and as many
new members were secured.
