Last Sunday week, preceding
Labor Day, l accidentally ran into
my cousin, Willis Pryce, and he and
went out visiting the town, en-

trying to drown his sorrows in beer,

Later, we three went to the Bethel
A.ME. where they were having the
conclusion OF four-day convention,
an for those who doubt that either
Willis or myself was there ask him
to show you the candid snapshots
taken inside and outside the church
with us both appearing in the scene.
