The minutes of forty years ago show that only two ministers then in the association are now living-D. W : ' Hiott and F. R. McClanahan and neither of them were pastors at that time to any of the churches in the' bounds of the association nor are they now. Only. four names appearing as delegates from the churches are now living so far as we know, -and only one of them was present at this as sociation, E. M. Stone, of Six and Twenty. Rev. D. W. Hiott, Rev. F. R. McClanahan and N. A. Christo pher are the others.' Truly we have. no permanent abic ing place, but seek a city that is to cdme. The officers then were W. B. Sin= gleton, moderator; John H. Bowen, clerk,and J. Jameson, tr'easurer. W. B. Singleton served the next year as moderator, was re-elected at Six and Twenty in 1886 and served to 1891. The last sermon he- preached was at the dedication of the present house of worship at Beaverdam twenty three years ago last May. Text, "Thou grt Peter and uprn this rock I will build my house and the gates of- h'l-:shaj not. prevail against its" John H. Bowen succeeded him' as moderator in 1891 and servd as such. to -1897. J. Jamison was assistant clerk and' treasurer from the organization, 1878, to 1883 when he was elected clerls.;and served to 1903, .ikitl twenty-five years as an officer, of this association in' succession.

We played Brandon two games, winning one and losing one, played Duncan four, losing two and winning two, two with Piedmont losing one and winning one, defeating the old rivals t( Easley three out of four.
