BARKLEY LADIES’ AID.

The Barkley Ladies' Aid met with Mrs. Joe Groom last Wednesday afternoon for their annual election of officers. Mrs. George Parkinson was re-elected president; Mrs. John Maxwell, treasurer, to succeed her daughter, Miss Laura Maxwell, who was formerly treasurer. Mrs. Branson was re-elected secretary. After the business session, delicious refreshments were served to the large crowd present. About fifty members and friends of the Barkley church surprised their pastor, Rev. John E. Dean, last Thursday evening. After spending some time in a pleasant social way, refreshments were served and the group departed, leaving behind them many good things to eat in the way of apples, butter, beans, cabbage, coffee, lard, canned fruit, canned vegetables, fresh beef, fresh pork, jellies and soap, which were evidently appreciated by the pastor and his wife.
