We are having quite a bit of sickness in our neighborhood. Mrs. Ora Carpenter is improving after a long illness. We are glad to see her out as she is one of our best Sunday school teachers.
We are all a little lonesome since our meeting closed. We had a wonderful meeting with about 26 confessions, closing on the 5th of January. After the meeting 22 were baptized, their names being: John Grah, Elberf (Elbert?) Williamson, Earnest Long, Miss Edna Holbrooks, Edua Hodlen (Holden?), Nita Childers, Selma Long, Stella Brown, Edith Cloer, R. Carpenter. We are always glad to have such a meeting in our section, and we hope to have with us again Brother Smith and Brother Stallcup.
Our Christmas was also very pleasant as the meeting continued through the holidays, closing on January 5th.
Our hearts were some what saddened when the death angel came in our mist and took away two of our neighbors at the same time—Mr. Harley Bates and Robert bates. A double funeral took place at Coweeta church on the 10th of January. Our hearts go out in sympathy to their loved ones.
