County Convention

A very interesting lnterdenomina- tional County Sunday School conven- ton was held in Lake Village last Thursday and Friday. The attendance was good considering the train service in Chicut county and the fact that there are only thirteen white Sunday schools in the county that remain open all the year. The program was fine, the ad dresses being different from the usual cut and dried addresses of county con ventions and everybody present was enthusiastic and interested in the move mant for better Sunday schools in Chi cot county.
 Mr Frank l.. James, State Secr,# tary of the Arkansas Sunday School Association. and Rev. William A Rolle of Dermott, delivered the pfiHc, pal addresses.
 The people of Lake Village opened their hospitable homes and volunteered to entertain many more delegates than attended The convention was held in the court house where every attention was given and every comfort looked after for the delegates. Dermott was chosen as the place for holding the next convention, and the time during June. l9ls
