meeting last Sunday evening, such
as they have not had III long time
The Lookout Committee had sent
out cards during the week, remind
ing the members of the special meet
ing and very few members were alb
sent that night. Under the splendid
leadership of Miss Inez Lovelace, the
topic, Better Giving" was discuss
ed freely and it was agreed by most
of those uresent that tithing is the
best and only method of systematic
christian giving. Messages were
read from the absent members ana
it was good to know that their
thoughts were with the society, even
though they could not be present.
Four new members of the Tenth Lee
gion were secured which, together
with those secured at former meet
ings, makes a total of about twenty
among the C. P. Endeavor-
ers.
The intermediates, after series
of outdoor meetings during the sum-
mer months, have returned to the
study for their prayer meetings.

went wading and sailed paper boats.

Farmers Meeting.

A number of farmers were here
last Saturday and held a meeting at
the courthouse, called to order by
R. L. Andrews, president of the OBJ
on County Council of Agriculture.
The subject of preserving the organi-
cation Of Obion County farmers was
discussed and decided in the affirma-
tive, with request that Mr.. Andrews
call meeting at Troy at an early
date to take up the work.
This is not to be political organ
ization but plans in the movement
embrace matters of cooperative mar.
keting and breeding and the general
interests of local agriculture. At
the meeting at Troy a membership
drive will be inaugurated, it is hoped
with success.
