A grand rally was held at Sugar Forks Zion Church, colored, Sunday, July 11th. A short program was rendered and some interesting talks from Mr. Charlie Scruggs and Rev. Jennings. The white folks took a part and sang a double quartette for them which was very much appreciated. The girls of the Club were: Misses Helen and Virginia Ledford, Isabel Scruggs and Lillie Scruggs. Miss Isabel Scruggs received the first prize which was $3 in money. Miss Helen received the second of $2 and each of the others 50 cents for their loyalty. The amount raised was $34.45, which we will use for digging a well on the church grounds, and on the preacher’s salary. Miss Isabel Scruggs, $18; Miss Helen Ledford, $5.16; Miss Lillie Scruggs, $2.10 and public collection, $6.80, making a total of $34.45.
