Quested by those in charge of the

or Mrs. Sara Roberta Getty, at
Grantsville, as early as possible their
names and a statement as to whether
or not they wish accommodations.

from the various Sunday schools of
the county will not be restricted, and
it is hoped that as many as possible
will be present, but accommodations
will be provided for only three del
egates from each school.

roll superintendent from the vari-
Gus Sunday schools of the county be
