She Gave A Ring.
Among the contributors to the Mer
cer fund at the First Baptist church
last Sunday was a lady who gave a
diamond ring. This fact was made
known to the congregation at the
night service and the members of the
church bought it and returned it-to the
donor. The ring netted the fund over
$50. Others have since given valuables
and the fund is still growing.
