Ditch Bonds Sold
The commissioners of Bayou
DeView Drainage District No. 1,
of Woodruff, Cross and Jackson
counties, were here this week
and sold the ditch construction
work, comprising the excavation
of approximately 2,000,000 cubic
yards to the Northern Construc
tion Company of Elkhart, Ind.,
for the price of .0607 (6 7-100)
cents per cubic yard. The bonds :
of the same district for $150,000,
bearing six per cent interest,

bonds is the highest price at
which ditch bonds have ever
been sold in the state. Legal
notice of sale of both work and
bonds were published in The
Home News.

Woman’s Missionary Society
The Woman’s Missionary So
ciety held its regular meeting
Thursday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. T. W. Woodbury where
we were cordially received and
made welcome in every way.
At this meeting 16 members
were present and all manifested
great interest. The subject was
the “Immigrant” and “Women
of China.” Mrs. Jason Baxter
who had charge of the program
had prepared a full and interest
ing program and each member
to whom parts had been assigned
responded. By this means we
were able to have a very in
structive meeting.
It is very gratifying to me
that, since Christmas, our at
tendance has increased so much
and that our ladies have taken a
new “grip” on missions and
God, and confidently we expect
great things of our society. May
many more of our ladies become
members and help in this one of
the greatest of all causes. If
you are undecided about whether
you care to join or not, attend
one of our meetings and we feel
assured you. will want to become
a permanent member.
The first of next week our
free-will offering envelopes will
be mailed. Remember that you, as
a church member, agreed to help
us carry on our missionary work
by the free-will offerings instead
of sales, suppers and numerous
other ways to which we must re
sort in order to meet our obliga
tions. The money that we ask
for, goes to the support of our
local work, the parsonage and
other local duties, and to the
payment of our pledge which is
$75.00 this year.
We trust that all our people
will respond freely and immedi
ately as our remittance and re
port must go in soon. Give
freely of your means and pray
much for our work and* workers.
