Cove Creek Items
A protracted meeting is in progress this week at the Willowdale church with the pastor, Rev. Ed Hodges in charge of the services.
At an enthusiastic meeting on Sunday night the B.Y.P.U. of the Cove Creek church reorganized and began work for the winter months. Miss Watson of the school faculty made an interesting talk.
The Thanksgiving services conducted by Rev. W.E. Wilson at the Baptist church on Thanksgiving Day was very appropriate. Although the congregation was rather small the offering of the church and Sunday school to the Thomasville orphanage amounted to $79.
Among recent visitors to the school were Mrs. W.L. Henson, Miss Rose Edna Dugger, Mr. J.J.. Glenn, Mr. A.D. Wilson and Miss Hinshaw of Knoxville.
In the second game of the Boone Public School on the local court the Cove Creek boys won by a score of 25 to 9.
