The Baptist Ladies’ Aid Soci
ety met with Mrs. Jno Rowland
last Monday. An interesting
program was rendered, after
which delicious refreshments
of chocolate, cakes and fruit
were served. A short business
session was held.
At a previous meeting the fol-
lowing officers were elected:
Mrs. N W. Ciain, President;
Mrs. J. T. Haralson, Vice Presi-
dent; and Mrs. W. B. Patterson,
Secretary and Treasurer.
The society, though few in
number, is doing a noble work.
Besides helping to meet the ex-
penses of the church, they have
recently sent a box valued at $85
to Buckner Orphan Home; also
$9.00 worth of chickens.
At the meeting Monday after-
noon they gave a liberal dona-
tion to the fund for mission work
among our soldiers; also to Bible
scholarship fund.
The next meeting will be with
Mrs Colt harp.
The party who picked up
carried off the gun back of
meat market at the hog pen
seen when taking it. So as
to give any one trouble they can
bring it back and there will be
nothing said. W. O. Reynolds.

Meeting at the Baptist church
last Sunday was very interesting
to all present, and the attendance
was larger than for several
weeks past.
Two of the committees for the
solicitation of funds for relief
work of this community made
reports of subscriptions aud
donations of money which were
very encouraging and it is ex-
pected the others will make
similar reports at the meeting to
be held at the Methodist church
next Sunday afternoon at three
o'clcck. When a larger attend-
ance of members is expected
be present.
Visitors are welcome at all
these meetings.

at Sulphur Springs Monday.
This Conference was organized
in Sulphur Springs just fifty
years ago and we noted only two
names present who were mem
bers of that first Conference.
Rev. Minor Bounds was re
turned to Nocona for another
year. Rev. C. W. Thomas was
returned to Bonita also for an
other year. Rev. R. L Patter
son was sent from Montague to
the Sunset Mission. While
H. Breedlove was appointed to
the Montague work. Rev. J. P
Humphreys, father of Mrs. W.
E Justin and well known in No
cona, was returned to Alvord
T. N. Weaks, former Nocona
pastor, was stationed at Farm-
ersville. F. B. Wheeler was re
turned to Van Alstyne. M R.
'T Davis was sent from Ringgold
to Electra Mission and A F. Wat-
kins to Ringgold. N. R Stone
was transfered to the Denver
(Colorado) conference and G. B.
Carter of Iowa Park was appoint
ed special representative of the
Southern Methodist University
for the Wichita Falls District.
We are glad to say that we will
have Rev. J. Sam Bartus as pre-
siding elder for another year.
Just at this time of year, “between seasons,” the ques-
tion of clothing is a puzzle. You don’t feel like investing in
a new suit, and yet you need a change.
We can help you out.
Just get out some of those suits you have hung back in
the closet, and bring them to us.
The following cable was' re-
ceived'from Major Murphy:
"The Red Cross has direct re-
sponsibility of supplying us with
surgical dressings and nothing
in the whole situation Is equally
important. Red Cross standard
dressings in millions must be
sent over with all possible speed.
If this is not dona, and done im-
mediately, a serious calamity
and natiopal disgrace is inevita
ble. The-American women who
compose the Red Cross Chapters
should prepare with all the en-
thusiasm and speed possible, the
dressings which are going to
mean life or death to our men.
This whole question deals with
the most vital thing that the
women of America can do for
the soldiers in this war.'*
It has been truly said that
since the first mother bound up
the first little cut finger, it has
been the mission of women to
bind up the wounds of the world;
and the latest advices from
abroad emphasize the desperate
need of surgical dressings aud
hospital supplies, which Ameri-
can women can make,
ments are being made on
boat and have been for
months. In addition we
build up a large stock ahead for
future emergencies. We can not
watt till our immense armies are
actually in the fighting, because

The quilting at Mrs. Fooshee's
was quite an enjoyable affair; a
num ber came early in the morn-
ing and put quilts in frames and
after dinner more came, so by
night five quilts were out. Those
present regretted the absence of
several of our members—hope to
see them next time.
Mrs. Gardner’s mother, Mrs.
Holland, and Mrs. Hagler were
visitors who earned their dinner.
