association, cooperating with the
municipal government has ar

Miss Mildred Gilchrist with oth
ers attended the Young Peoples
Rally at Antioch Sunday. Three of
Mrs. Strom Culbreath’s Sunbeams
contested to see who should go and
take part. Mildred Gilchrist, Bessie
Mae Seigler and John Talbert were
the three contestants. All did well,
but it was too much of a job for
the judges to decide which of the
girls was due the honor. Being a
tie, they drew straws and Mildred
was the lucky one to be in contest
at Antioch Sunday.
Mrs. Williamson, Mrs. Hughey’s
sister, has been with her several
weeks. She is leaving for home in
South Georgia the first of this
week. Mrs. Hughey Is not doing so
well. She will not be able to attend
the meetings and has invited the
prayer and song service to meet
with her on First Sunday night.
Hope to have a large attendance.
There was no prayer service at
the church Sunday night as an
nounced there would be. The af
