JOHNSTON LETTER.
Interesting Union Meeting.
Emily Geiger Chapter and
Apollo Music Club
Hold Meetings.

at the Baptist church. The very in
clement weather of Saturday pre-
vented any delegates from attending,
so a short business session was held.
The Sunday morning and afternoon
sessions were exceedingly interesting,
and representatives of three church
es were able to be present. The chief
speaker of the morning was Rev. L.
]. Watts, of Columbia, and he brought
a great message on faith in God. At
ter lunch, served at the church, all
had the pleasure of listening to Rev.
w. M. Whitesides, superintendent of
the Baptist hospital in Columbia. He
told of the wonderful work along
charitable lines that was being done,
and of the proposed plans for the
equipment of the four departments
SO needed there. Rev. Mr.. Watts again
spoke, bringing a message of how the
B. Y. P.-U. can help our young peo-
ple. It was a keen disappointment
that the third speaker, DR.. w. S. Dor
sett of Ridge Spring, was kept away
on account of sickness.
Mrs. Martha Falconer, national su-
perintendent w. C. T. U. spent Tues
day and Wednesday in Johnston, and
every hour of her time had been ar
ranged for before her arrival. Visits
to the schools, white and colored
were planned for the first day. Wed
nesday there was to have been an
all day meeting at the Baptist church,
to which the sister unions had been
invited, but the sleet and ice prevent
ed any union, other than local being
represented, and very few were able
to brave the weather for this meet
ing. A union service had been plan
ned for wednesday, but Mrs. Falcon
Ger decided that she had better leave
on The noon train and gosto her next
destination, as the weather was not
permitting any further meeting. Mrs,
Falconers' message of Wednesday
morning on the lines of her depart
ment was a very appealing one, and
it was regretted that so few heard
her.
Mrs. Reece and children who have
been guests of Mrs. Nathan Jones,
have returned to Richmond, Va.
Miss Hortense Padgett spent the
weekend with relatives.
Miss Annie Waters of Augusta, has
been for a short visit to the home
folks.
Mrs. Martha Falconer was the guest
of Mrs. ]. H. White during her stay
here.
Mrs Alexander and little Laddie
have been visiting relatives in Au-
gusta.
Miss Bessie Bean, one of the
teachers of the Batesburg-Leesville
school, spent the weekend at her
home here.
On last Thursday, Mrs. Wallace
Turner and Miss Gladys Sawyer en-
tertained with beautiful afternoon
tea in compliment to Miss Elise Mob
ley, whose marriage has been an
nounced for February 18th. Mrs.
Belts Bouknight a recent bride, was
also an honor guest. The occasion
was held in the home of the former
and there were two calling hours.
The guests were welcomed in the liv-
ing room which was bright and CHEEKY
with large bowls of narcissi, and 9TH
er cut flowers. The arrivals chatted
here for while, enjoying music, and
then went into the dining room.
Pouring tea in here were Mesdames
Julian Bland and L. S. Maxwell. The
table was covered with hand en-
broidered cloth, the centerpiece be-
ing large silver basket full of mar
cissi, and many chandelabra, with
unshaded candles, cast soft glow
over the scene. Several young ladies
served variety of sandwiches. Dur
ing the time, several friends assisted
the hostesses in directing the guests
and entertaining.
Mrs. L. S. Maxwell entertained
the bridge club in charming man.
