Methodist Church News
On last Sunday we had the
largest congregation at both
morning and evening services
that we have had for some time.
At the morning service we had a
full choir of the married people,
and their music was fine. At the
evening service we had the larg
est young people’s choir that I
have seen in our church since I
have been here. I am very
thankful for the way in which
our young people are taking hold
of the work. I have heard many
nice compliments on their sing
ing last Sunday night and feel
sure I will hear more next week
for their choir practice last Tues
day evening was real good, and
J am sate in saying tnat it you
will come and hear them Sunday
evening you will enjoy it. Miss
Dunlap is putting forth a strong
effort to make the young people’s
choir a success, and I feel sure
her work is appreciated by all
the people of the town. As your
pastor I am very thankful for
the way in which both the old
and the young are taking hold of
this new movement in our
church, for I am sure it will add
new life to our work. “Let us
sing praises unto our Lord for
His goodness toward us.”
Last Sunday morning we had
the best Sunday School attend
ance we have had for some
months, ninety-four were pres
ent. Real good don’t you think?
There will be Sunday School at
our church*Sunday morning, but
no preaching as I will be at
Fakes Chapel at that hour.
Ur. Evans will be with us Sun
day afternoon and will conduct
our Fjrst Quarterly Conference
at 3 p. m., and when he is
through with the conference he
will preach for us. Be sure and
come to the afternoon service.
Dr. Evans will also preach for us
Sunday evening. Let us give our
Presiding Elder a good hearing
at both of his.services, and show
how we appreciate his service.
Now just a few words in re
gard our new churches that we
have on foot, both here and at
PROULX’
Lunch Room
Quick Service and Your
Money’s Worth
Service for both White

Fakes Chapel. I am very thank
; ful to say that all with the ex
ception of a very few are with
me in this great work.
I am told by a number that we
have much more in sight at pres
ent than we have had at any one
| time during the past, and it
| seems now that the chances are
good for both churches, and that
quite soon.

the church at McCrory will be

Mrs. Oc Jeffries Honoree
Last Tuesday afternoon a mis
cellaneous shower was given for
Mrs. Oc Jeffries (nee Miss
Pauline Bull.) The shower was
rather a surprise to Mrs. Jeffries,
! when a host of friends arrived at
the appointed hour, three o’clock,
and a collection of many beauti
ful and ornamental gifts were
showered upon her, such as
linens, cut-glass, silverware,
paintings and illuminumware for
the culinary department. In a
very artistic way Mrs. Jeffries
arranged this collection on dis
play for her friends as well as
herself. '
At a late hour the guests de
parted, each wishing for the
happy couple that “Their rain
bow of happiness may be filled
with a thousand different colors. ”
Moorman for Clerk
This week we present the au
thorized announcement of County
Clerk Will Moorman as a candi
date for re-election, subject to
the action of the Democratic pri
mary, March 29, and he is so
well known that a lengthy mention
of his candidacy is hardly worth
while.
It is a well known fact that he
has served Woodruff County in
many official capacities and he is
regarded by all as one of the best
posted men in the county as to
the duties of not only his office,
but others as well.
The above within itself is suf
ficient evidence that he knows
his business, and the magnitude
of business transacted by him in
the County Clerk’s office shows
that he is ever “on the job”
ready for business. He is com
petent and experienced, and we
respectfully submit his claims to
the voters of Woodruff.
Co. Central Com. Meet Feb. 7
