At a meeting of the WMU of

held January 10 at Edenton, it
was votfed that each member would
make a weekly offering of five or
ten or twenty cents to be paid
monthly to the general treasury
and in turn paid to Chowan Col
lege. It is estimated that in this
way approximately $7,000 can be
raised for the college. President
B. D. Bunn w'as piesent at the
meeyng and spoke on the needs
and work of the college.
The West Chowan Baptist Chur

member, and progress is being
made in collecting the pledges

be one of those columns which
includes all the gossip and dirt
that can be dug up about our

hope nobody gets his feelings hurt.
