The missionary meeting of the Southern Methodist church, consisting of this
place, Gillespie, Maxwell, and Pisgah, convened at the church here
yesterday. Two sessions were held, morning and afternoon. A delightful
dinner was served by the ladies of this place. The study of Africa was the
topic for the morning session, while keeping of the Sabbath was the theme
for the afternoon session. Mrs. W. B. GREER, of Gillespie, Mrs. Ella
H. PEERY, of Pisgah, were the leaders and good ones, too. Papers were
read by Mrs. C.H. TRAYER, Mrs. McGEE, Mrs. G.C. McCLAIN,
and Mrs. W.B. STEELE. Other visitors were Mrs. J.H. GRAHAM and

meeting was a very interesting and profitable one, and no doubt will go much
to strengthen the foreign mission workers. The next meeting will be held at

April. Three new members were added.
