Rehoboth was well represented
at the Spring County Council meet
ing April 22nd at Buffalo Church.
The day was unusually pleasant
and profitably spent. The beau
tiful trees all around the church
gave a, welcome even before Miss
Alice Talbert gave us such a hearty
welcome. Mrs. Bussey presided, with
usual dignity and ease. The devo
tions by Rev. Mr. Lide were appro
priate. Mrs. D. W. Keller gave us
a sweet song message, accompanied
by Mrs. C.’C. Morgan. Every club
was represented, though White
Town, had I believe, the largest at
tendance.
The chairmen all gave splendid
reports. Mrs. C. H. Huguley’s re
port and advice on publicity was
good. Miss Amelia Wideman gave
us two sweet songs. Rev. Mr. Press
ly gave us a fine talk on tithing.
Miss Bessie Harper’s address was
much enjoyed. Her topic was
“Home.” Miss Harper has recently
adopted McCormick County with
several others.
Everyone enjoyed Mrs. E. M.
Morgan’s rythmic band. They gave
several selections. Rev. W: L. Cokei
gave us a splendid address. His
subject was, Yesterday, Today and
Tomorrow.
Mrs. Marie Minarik gave us a
splendid address. She is a splendid
speaker who holds the audience
with her attractive way of express
ing herself. There were not as
many certificates awarded as we
would like to have seen. The meet
ing did not begin on time, so oi
course did not adjourn at the ap
pointed hour, but everyone had
time to get home before night. Rev.
>nd Mrs. Dean favored us with
“Whispering Hope” beautifully
rendered as a duet.
Carrie Morgan, a respectable col
ored woman of this section, was
buried at Mt. Moriah Church last
