mingo county, and. perhaps, none
have more friends than they. Bro.

our most successful and popular
pastors and we feel that he and

WORK among us. We ex.cnd Il
royal welcome. K.

dine with him at the Leatherwood
Hotel on Thanksgiving day. This
hotel is presided over by Mr.. and

we ever enjoyed. The tastefullv
arranged table. with its center
piece of lovely chrysanthemums,
sparkling cut glass and silver,
dainty china and snowy linen was
most attractive. We cannot at
tempt to describe the menu. 1t
included all the good things
tiers, turkey, vegetables of many
kinds, salads, pickles and many
other things, all deliciously pre-
pared and nicely served. Moth
