Parkton, Sept. 25-The series of
meetings at the M. E. church closed
Sunday night. Rev. B. C. Craven
preached some very able sermons,
holding the interest of his congre-
cations, and while the congregations
Were not as large as was anticipat-
ed, the last three or four services
We're largely attended. We cannot
recall the time when there We're bet
ter attention given any preaching
services. Also the choir rendered
splendid music at each service. There
We're no accessions to the church but
we trust that much good was accom-
plished.
