MEETING AT TRENTON.
Women of Second Division
Held Missionary Meeting at
Trenton Friday. Large
Attendance.

Saturday the End division of the
Woman's Mission societies held their.
meeting at Trenton, Mrs. Henry i.
Medlock presiding.
Mrs. Medlock said that she had
thought that God must be against
our having a meeting like this at
Trenton, as we had been so hindered
on our first attempt last fall by order
of the State Board Of Health when
the women had already left their
homes and were on the way to the
meeting, and again this time when the
weather seemed to be so unpropi-
tious.
After all, however, as the day wore
on, all the churches in the division
except Antioch and Rehoboth were
represented, and reports were heard
from these, as Mrs. Medlock had been
on the alert to get messages from
each of the societies.
Mrs. A. B. Young conducted the
devotions and reports were
heard from representatives from Red
Hill, Republican, Hardy's and Tren-
ton.
The Standard of Excellence was
explained by Mrs. j. L. Minis. Mrs.
D. B. Hollingsworth gave an account
of some of the stirring scenes which
she had enjoyed at the Southern Bap-
tist Convention.
Just before the recess, DR.. R. G..

ed, addressed the meeting. Many of

celebration of Jennie Cassidy, the
founder of the Flower Mission of the

Formerly, all the unions in the
county came together on this occa-
sion, but the Trenton and Harmony
unions have decided to hold separ-
ate picnic that they may bring good
cheer on still another occasion. These
comrades were greatly missed, as
were also those from Philippi, but
we were willing to make the sacrifice
that thse at the County Home might
have still another happy day.
The dinner was very abundant, and
iced tea and lemonade were served.
Twelve boxes were filled with
cake, pies, chicken, ham, pickle, sal
ad, bread and all sorts of good things
and there was still an abundance for
those who had come.
