HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Protracted Meeting Closed.
Red Cross Entertainment.
Meeting at Horns
Creek.

closed on Friday afternoon and there
were five baptized. One will be bap-
tized on next service Sunday. Mr..
Kneeland gave US fine sermons each
day. We hope to hear him again. We.
did not have large congregations any
day am sorry to say, but those who
came enjoyed the sermons very much.
The Red Cross Auxiliary had
very delightful concert by the Jazz
Band from Camp Hancock Saturday
afternoon and fine address by Mr..
Curtis, also one by Mr.. ]. L. Minis,
which were enjoyed by quite large
audience out in front of historic old
Sweetwater church. A most beauti-
fui place for it, in the shade Of the
church as the sun was sinking in the
West. There was stand erected
just at the outside Of the large col
umns for the speakers and two large
United States flags foated over their
heads. The young men in khaki; seat
ed just below the speakers, dispensed
sweet music for US all. We Red Cross
ladies served them substantial sup
per before they returned to camp as
we knew their supper hour would
have passed. It fully repaid us for
the sacrifice of part of our sugar
allowance when we saw those fine
fellows enjoying each mouthful of
that supper so much. Almost every
one of us carried a fried, chicken
and they seemed delighted with the
chicken. Everything was chicken,
chicken-but not rice, for we cannot
get any more rice until the new crop
is gathered, so we are told. We do
like to have some in the house but
cannot get it yet.
After the soldiers had finished eat
ing we sold what was left of the sup
per and wished we had carried more.
We sold all the ice cream out and
wished we had had more. Those who
attended were very generous and
gave freely. sosallin all we consider
ed we did fine and thank all for their
part.
Next comes this week the Wom-
ans Missionary Union at Horns
Greek. We hope to be able to attend
but feel SO badly just now, so COM
pletely worn out, don't know wheth-
er we can get there or not.
Why don't we hear of some good
church work by our men? Are they
going to let the women do it all?
We attended the Sunday School con-
vention which was the mems work,
but somehow l can't help being
proud of the women's work for they
seem to take more interest han the
men and have such nice Sunbeam
Bands. Mrs Walter Stevens is doing
fine work with her two bands, Har-
dys and Sweetwater children.
Miss Jennie Briggs, who has been
visiting her brother, MIR. Will Briggs
and family, has returned home.
Miss Marjorie McKie is back from
her visit to Miss Wise of Trenton.
Mrs. H. F. Cooper and daughters
attended Camp Meeting at Ninety
Six last week and returned home
Tuesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Wright and
baby visited his parents last week.
The Misses DeLaughter have been
quite sick with chills, so has Miss
Luda Briggs.
Miss Fannie Munday was suffering
from indigestion last week.
Mrs. Alvin Stevens and her three
chiluren are still shut in with whoop-
ing cough.
Mrs. Milton Barker is very much
under the weather, she thinks, with
malaria. Mr.. Barker came home Sat-
urday night from a visit to his old
home place in Tennessee.
Mr.. Judd Scott is home on fur
Tough from the naval station at
Rhode island, to be with his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. H. NJ. Scott, Jr., few
weeks.
We were glad to see Mrs. Georgia
Hammond out at the entertainment
Saturday afternoon. She told US she
would not have known it if she had
not read Hardys Happenings. Sever
al others said the same. We are glad
if our happenings brought so many
out to help US.
We noticed DR.. Traylor Briggs and
his bride pass, so they are at home
from their trip to the mountains
and he is ready to minister to the
sick. if there are any calls for him
