and asparagus fern; the finishing
touch to this picture was the two
charming young matrons who
dispensed the refreshing bever¬
age, Mrs Claude DuPree and
Mrs Frank Fincher.
In spite of the lowering clouds,
quite a number of Fort Valley’s
matrons as well as the young
ladies ventured out, and
occasion will long be remem bered
with great pleasure, by all who
attended.
Mr and Mrs Leighton Shepard
are spending several days with
their mother and father, Mr and
Mrs A B Greene,
Mr and Mrs J L Brown, Mrs
L P Gray and son, Col and Mrs
Robert Brown, Mr and Mrs J A
Flournoy of Macon are spendin a n
some time at, St Simon

daughter are visiting relatives
in Gainesville.
Mr W W Henderson of Ameri
cus spent a few days in the city

Mrs J M Henry Jr, of Monti
cello, Fla., was the guest of her
unc ]e, Mr J 0 Conner Saturday.
Woman’s Foreign Mission
Society.
Accompanying the loud insis¬
tent call for “more
for Korea” comes the sad intelli¬
gence of the death of Miss
Kendrick, one of our latest,
cruits to this field. Her
was of short duration,
resulting from appendicitis.Miss
Kendrick had been inSongdo but
eight months, but that was long
enough to have won the love and
confidence of all who\rnew her
and her going leavs a sad vacancy
in the mission and in the hearts
of her fellow laborers. As our
beloved missionaries fall at their
posts in far-off lands, God grant
that these losses may drive to
their knees, the women of the
home-land, and hold us in suppli¬
cation until we shall see the
thinning ranks reinforced.
Mr A Cobb White, only brother
of our own Mary Culler White,
died in Me Rae two weeks ago.
As every circumstance that con¬
cerns Miss Mary White, is of
vital interest to the ladies of the
Methodist church here, we note
this occurrence with sympathetic
regret.
From the Wesleyan Christian
Advocate, Aug. 6, we clip the
following.
It Mrs R J Prentiss of Fitz¬
gerald, has been appointed to the
office of Sec. of Cordele District.
Mrs Prentiss has been a zealous
worker in her own church, and
has been especially used in
Juvenile work. We believe that
the Cordele District will take no
back step from the stand of last
year, and that it will with God’s
help, realize the high aims of our
dear Sister Murph”.
Let the Port Valley Auxiliary
give this, our new “chief shep
herd”, its constant prayers and
cordial interest and support.
Says John R Mott, Prayer and
Missionsare s<>intimately associ¬
ated as are faith and works”, If
then, we would see the world
brought to Christ, we should
pray often, fervently earnestly.
