 Anniston, October 15.-(Special) )-Dur- ing weekend visit to MT. and Mrs s. P. Kennedy, Governor Charles Henderson and Mrs. Henderson were feted at a con stant round of ,sociai activities On Friday afternoon they were honor
 guests at Camp Mcclellan. Gen. W. c.
 Raferty, the commanding officer of the
 camp, entertained the party most de- lightfully. From there they went to Major Dulin's headquarters and were
 heartily welcomed by staff and division
 officers during brief visits to other parts
 of the camp.

 At noon Saturday Mrs. John B. Knox entertained at luncheon for Governor
 and Mrs. Henderson and on Saturday evening they were honor guests at din-
 ner party given by MT. and Mrs. Thomas
 E. kilby.
 On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Henderson,
 who as chairman of the Woman's Aux
 Hilary of Alabama has done so much for
 the cause of missions, found time amid
 all the social pleasures to do her bit for
 this cause so dear to her heart. She
 brought fresh inspiration to the mem- ha,c rf (s,,ao St Mich
 aels' guilds in an address which she de-
 livered at Grace church.
 Receiving and returning courtesies,
 keeps both civilians and soldiers in T
 constant whirl of gaiety. General and
 Mrs. Charles Barber and the officers of
 the New Jersey regiments, who enter
 tained Annistonians at the artistic har- vest dance last week. were honorees at the Country club Saturday evening at dance and reception. Governor and Mrs. Henderson were among the promi- nent guests at this function. Chaperoned by Mrs Barber wife of General Barber and Mrs. bowman, wife of Colonel bowman, a galaxy of maids and matrons ripped the light fantastic with the soldiers of the Machine Gun company of the Fifth Maryland at the Athletic club Saturday afternoon. The affair was given under the auspices of the Knitting Ieague, and generous amount was presented the league during the afternoon, which will be used to pur- chase wool for busy fingers to knit into sweaters for the soldier boys. On Saturday evening Annistonians had the pleasure of hearing some of Camp McClellan's best talent in concert. Mrs. Rowley, the wife of Lieutenant Rowiey, who sang several numbers. was formerly a well known opera singer. Lieutenant and Mrs. Baldwin's duets were heartily encored, and also the seiec- tions rendered by Miss Wright, MISS Hal ley and Mrs. Sam Pelham.
 On Sunday morning number of town- folk drove out to the camp to hear pr.
 Fulton, the assistant pastor of the f1Itn Avenue Baptist church in New York, and
 pr Thomas F. Holloway of Wilmington' Del, two famous divines who are visil- ing Camp Mcclellan.
 The Sunday afternoon concerts orlgi- mated by the Pastors union to satisfy the desire of the soldiers for amuse- ment during their idle hours and per chance to prevent the movies agitation, are growing in popularity. The pest sing CTS of Anniston were heard at the concert at the Theato, which was filled to over flowing with a khaki-cIad audience or Sunday afternoon.
 Over 300 soldiers were invited to homes for Sunday dinners. Another practice that is appreciated by number oi newly weds'' is the offer of the dining room and Kitchen by housewives Whc take their dinners out, and turn over their home to the soldiers and theii wives. The brides have great run pre- pairing and serving dinners to their sol dier husbands.
 I happened to be at the station when the members of the New Jersey banu who played for the veterans in Birming- ham last week, returned and heard the | following conversation between two sol diers:
 Have good timer" asked one. q should say'' said the musician | 'Those Birmingham folk sure know now ! to treat q soldier. and one rich vet who heard our music is going to sen0 | his car over and take us to sunday dln- ners Gee. that's one more hustllns 1 city. I bet it will be overrun with sol l dier boys every weekend during the win :! ter.'
 ] Isn't it fine the way the soldiers arc subscribing for liberty bonds? The blue 1 and gray division have pledged them selves to purchase $311.o0 worth o
 bonds. Truly, their patriotism knows nc l limits!
 Dr. McDougall of Boston to Speak Dr. H. c. McDougall of Boston | Mass, will deliver the adlress at the
 open forum of the First Unitarian
 church on Wednesday night of this week at s o'clock.
