governing the pastors wife and
among them were the following: Only
one new hat year, keep the parson-
age clean at all times, only one new
dress year, attend all church SER

Aid, Mothers meeting and never miss
3 church meeting. Attend all conven-
tions, give to all beggars and to all
charitable enterprises. Keep Your
husband neat and help him with his
serm ons, etc.
After the social season the new lady
was asked if she needed new things
for the parsonage. The president,
Mrs. Bluegrass, appointed a commit
tee of six to go down to Lippincott's
and buy them. The committee soon
returned with three large baskets
filled to overlooking with beautiful
gifts for the bride. which came as a
big surprise.
Miss Dennis was for 5 years teach
er here and has many friends who
wish her much happiness.
