Third Division Woman's Mis-
sionary Union.


The Third Division W. M. U. held
very profitable day at Plum Branch
on Saturday, October, 9, when Mrs.
]. M. Bussey, their efficient and ear
nest President had charge. The meet
ing began promptly and the children
from several Sunbeam bands gave
selections. Mrs. Ralph Winn presi-
dent of the society gave very cor
dial address of welcome, and Rev.
M. Kugley, pastor of the church
made talk full of practical and sug
gestive merit.
The dinner was served on the
Methodist church grounds, as tables
had been constructed for the Dis
trict conference which was to be held
the following day.
If the Methodists and Baptists of
Plum Branch are as near in heart as
they are in the proximity of their
church buildings, they are very close
together indeed.
After a delightful lunch and wo-
men are getting to be better cooks
every day, the meeting was resumed
at the Baptist church. Mrs. j. l..
Minis and Misses Grace and Emmie
Lanham of Edgefeld attended. Mrs.
Minis tolking on the "Outlook for the
Year."
