A large crowd attended the fifth Sunday convention held at the Baptist church last Sunday. Everybody present enjoyed and profited by the splendid addresses and talks. The Missionary ladies proved their ability to cook by the bountiful dinner they spread in the church grove; there was plenty and some to spare. A good many of the ladies carried out dinner to the sick of the town.
Among the many delegates that attended the convention were Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Smart and family of Mooresville.
