meeting of the Epworth League
met at the the Methodist parson
age. On aooount of the president
and vice president being absent,
Bro. Simmons, on motion, took
the chair.
The 2nd vice president made a
splendid report of her work in the
charity and help department last
month. ^
Bro. Fred M. Houser moved
that ^ committee be appointed to
invite all the children over 12
years of age to join the League.
The motion was carried and the
committee is to be appointed at
the next religious meeting of the
League.
There being rrc> other business
the League on motion adjourned
for 10 minutes.
After intermission, the meeting
was called to order by Miss Leo
nora Edwards,, the 3rd vice presi
dent, and the following program
rendered was certainly a rare and
entertaining treat: Misses Lou
ise and Bessie Dasher capably ex
ecuted a vooal Duet, “What are
the Wild Waves saying?” follow
ed by Prof. W. W. Driskell
who
recited “The Boys!.” Prof. Dris-
kell’s talents in this direction
in
have hitherto been unknown to
us, but so well did he reoite, that
by this one effort he has made for
him self an established reputa
tion.
Miss Martha Killen then sang
in her accomplished manner,
‘ ‘ Little April Fool, ’ ’ after which
was an instumental Duet,“Kaliph
DeBagdad,” by Miss Maybelle
Dasher and Mrs. Simmons. It
cerCkinly was a master piece mas
terfully performed. ,
Misses Mary and Leonora Ed
wards then beautifully delivered
a vocal duet, “Gently Row Gon
dolier.” After which Mrs. Sim
mons concluded the programme
with a vocal solo. On account
of being so kind and obliging as
well as being so capable,she makes
a valuable addition to our church.
Thus ended one of the most
pleasant and intertaining meet
ings our Leauge ever held.

Ben Hill Academy.
By Reporter.
. There was to have been an oys
ter supper at the Ben Hill school
building on Jan. 81, but on ac
count of the rain the crowd was
small and the expenses were bare-
ly covered. We are not to be de
feated, however, and respectfully
beg the attention oi the public to
another announcement.
On Friday night, Feb. 14th,
1902, an oyster supper will be giv
en at the Ben'Hill Academy for
the benefit of a library. Other
refreshments will be served. There
will be no admissioff charge at the
door. Everything will be on the
European plan. Come and get
your money’s worth. Plenty of
music will be furnished by the
pupils.
We are better prepared by the
former experience to entertain
the crowd and we guarantee
good time to all.
School is progressing nicely.
There are sixty-five pupils enroll
ed and there is a likelihood of sev
eral more soon.. The pupils have
organized two societies, which are
interesting and instructive. The
musie class is in good training
and the largest we know of in the
county.
