The campaign meeting was alive
with interest last Wednesday night.
There we're a number of competitors

to the successful canvassers. Mrs.
Leila A. Wynn outstripped all OF the
workers by winning the first prlze.
Mrs. Martha Morris came out: with
the second prize. Mrs. Annie NJ.
Darlington, Miss Adell Morris, Miss
Lucille Lewis, and others deserve
special mention for their excellent
reports.
The Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora
Brown Stokes; was yhighly elated over.
the success of this meeting. From
all indications the next weekly meet
ing of the campaign workers prom
ises some very stirring scenes. Three
prizes will be given to the three most
successful canvassers, and the work
ers are girding themselves for a hard
battle. The interest is growing
keener each meeting in this special
headquarters membership drive, and
il looks like we are going to get one
thousand members. Let every loyal
