IT .Monroe of Ab beville et al were made on Sunday School work. At eleven o'clock Rev. T. B. Fuller occupied the pul pit, and preached an able sermon to an appreciative congregation. Union church should have a larger building. The present huildinm while it is a good one, was construct etl before the country was settled up. Now that entire section of country is being settled by prosperous farmers it demands a larger building. Seville, Abbeville, Rochelle, Pitts and other points were represented at the meeting. Everybodv Likes to " o-o ' to Union church anywav. The people are clever and hospit able and know just how to make one — teel at home.
