HARDY'S HAPPENINGS:
Woman's Missionary Society 10
Meet With Mrs. Reese. Vocal
Club to be Organized.
Thanksgiving Service.

Just think of so many enjoyable
things to come all together this
week if we can only get to attend
them.
First, there is to be the W. M.
S. meeting to be Thursday after
noon at Mrs. John Reese's, where
we will all enjoy the meeting (if
we can get there.
Then comes the musical practice
Friday night at Mrs. H. F. Coop
er's. Mrs. Fred Barker is trying
to organize a vocal club of vocal
and instrumental music believe to
improve the musical talent, and
have better music at our churches
That is certainly very much need
ed in our midst, and very COM
mendable in Mrs. Barker to take so
much interest in the neighborhood
she has so recently come to make
her permanent home. She has how
ever spent two previous winters
here, and knows how much this
feature is lacking and needed. We
sincerely hope such club may be
formed and well attended under
sweet little Mrs. Barker's supervi-
sion.
The next thing we have in mind
is the meeting to be at EdgeGeld on
Saturday, which We hope we can
get to. We always have enjoyed
attending the meetings held at
Edgefeld, and feel sure all who are
so fortunate as to be there will
have nice time, and warm well
come.
There will be services at Sweet
water, Thanksgiving afternoon, be-
ginning at 8 o'clock. The services
have been moved up to 8 o'clock p.
m., on second Sunday afternoons
during the winter months I am
told.
We had quite a good congrega-
tion out on Sunday, at Hardys. and
a sermon from Mr.. P. 3. Lanham.
after he had preached on giving to
the welfare Of the soldiers. Mr..
H. L. Bunch had his list there ready
to receive all, any of those present,
would contribute. Mr.. II. F. Coop
er got in ahead of Mr.. Bunch on
Saturday at the Meriwether Club
cue, and had almost gotten all to
subscribe with him. We hope
however, that the desired amount
may be reached in our old county,
and the soldiers may be we'll taken
care Of.
Mrs. w. A. Stevens had her lit
tie band of Sunbeams to meet just
after the services. There were sew
eral absentees we noticed. They
are doing nicely under Mrs. Stevens
supervision. She also has class
out at Sweetwater.
We were glad to hear the little
Ingram child is improving, and
hope the typhoid fever is broken.
