Annual Banquet and Business Meeting of the Christian Church.

A large and very representative business meeting of the members of the Christian church and their families was held Wednesday night in the church parlors. The different branches of the church reported their labors for the year. Church Treasurer Dr. A. G. Catt made his report of finances and J. L. Brady explained the needs of the church for another year, and pledge cards were given to all who were present. *; V Bne very satisfactory thing in the finances of the church was the fact that about SBOO in addition to the pledged amounts found its way into the treasury of the church, and the treasurer reported that the minister’s salary for the year had been paid in full, the other expenses of the church kept up and there was a small balance on hand. During this time, also, the Yewell meetings were held at a cost of about SSOO and all this expense was paid. The members of the church believe that it is in a vary healthy and prosperous condition and the pledges of support for the ensuing year are very encouraging.
