MurfreesbOro. Rev. d. ]. Tate was
on his job early Sunday morning.
He reports a big time during the
day. The deacons' and elders meet
ing was on hand Monday night Dea-
con Nat Phillips made a big speech
at this meeting that will not be for
gotten soon. Five deacons were pres
ent. With such men as these at the
head of the helm DIR. Tate need not
fear. The First Baptist Church is
the strongest in the city. Member
ship between three and four hundred.
You should see the members coming
in from their country homes in their
buggies and carriages. You would
be delighted. We were very sadly
surprised to learn of the sudden i'll
ness of Miss Alto Gillespie, who was
taken quite ill while at her work at
the one hundred oaks for the Catho-
lie people. We wish for her a speedy
recovery. Miss Alto is very sweet
and polite young lady. Miss Annie
Darrell has returned home from the
State Fair. She reports a big time.
Miss Virginia Trimble left this even
ming for her home at Memphis. She
has spent the summer here with her
mother and friends. We regret very
much to see her leave. Miss Sister
March left with Miss Trimble for
Memphis to make it her future home.
We pray for her success and happi-
ness. Miss Sweet Darrell and Miss
Flossy Cunningham left today, return
ing to Roger Williams to begin
their studies where they left off last
Christmas. These girls are making
good. Miss Pinkie Smell passed
away Saturday morning and her
funeral was attended by Rev. w. H.
Boddie Sunday at three p. m. With
him was Rev. d. ]. Tate and Rev.

time at st. John A. NJ. E. Church on
Friday night, this being the closing

the exercises would be postponed. To
our surprise there was a nice little
crowd that came through the inclem-
ent weather to witness the closing.
the exercises were repeated on Monday
night, and to say the least of it, it
was big affair. Admission was five
cents. Door receipts for both nights,
ten dollars, and to the surprise of
Mrs. Boddie, Mr.. Alfred Arnett mov-
ed that special collection be taken
for Mrs, Boddie, and five dollars
were raised making a total of fifteen
dollars, for which the above named
person arose and thanked the people.
