committee) feel proud. j
Now the box supper which was ^
bitterly opposed by "A Young La- .
dy" in la>t week's issue was con- (j
1 templated and voted on by the Sun
day School at Hickory Grove and I
am quite sure that the Sunday
School or its Superintendent did
not mean to have a ball or a frolic
as "Young Lady of last week" in- ^
smuates. The box supper was con:
ducted in a religious manner being '
opened by singing and prayer, then
1 he boxes and cake wcie sold with ,
' the above results which was all
1 done with a good intention by the
} church and Sunday School. Now if
"Youi g Lady" has any more to say
1 hope she will come out and sign
her true name to her article as no
young lady would care for giving
her true name to any article she
[ would write.
