Louise McGill is busy trainig the little folk for the Children's ay exerci-es of the Methodist lurch, to take place May 20. . Miss Maude Chandler has return1 to Benson, after several days vising at Nesmith. Cedar Swamp bridges and some nailer ones need repairing badly, fe respectfully call our Road Enineer's attention to their condition. Rev J R Sojourner preached an structive sermon at the Methodist lurch Sunday, morning and Rey E Ervin delivered an interesting scourse in the afternoon at Cenal Presbyterian church. We were ;ry much surppised when Mr Ervin ated that he would make no furler announcement for that church ; present. His congregations are rge; however,aconsiderable compo?nt part is made up of members of ;her denominations and they regret ?ry much that they shall be derived of the moral edification af>rded them by these afternoon serces. Mr Ervin spoke very plainly > the business officials of the church : the financial status of affairs id admonished them that they ere not the ruling members of the ganization, and that his action in ?asing to serve them was from a asiness standpoint as well as acting ith a spirit of love and good will nto all men. At Central church there is lumber id brick on the yard ready for a uilding. But a division in school r church affairs is the down-fall lereof. We are hoping, however, > see a handsome new edifice there i the near future.
