The Sunday school convention held here last Sunday was a decided success and immensely helpful to Sunday school workers. The first speaker, Miss McKinnis, could not be present. U. R. Wood, M. C., of Lafayette, gave a stirring address on “The Work to Be Done by the Sunday School.” The rest of the program was carried out as planned. Much interest was shown at the round table in organized classes. The bountiful basket dinner was spread in the school house instead of on the grass because of weather conditions. The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. Pullins, vice, A. C. Campbell, secretary, Rosabell Daugherty, treasurer, Velma Sumners, supt. adult work, Day Jordan, supt. intermediate work, Melvin Phillips, supt. home work, Mrs. H. Ballard, supt. teachers training, Gus 'Hunter, supt. temperance, Mrs. Davis.
