Mrs. L. D. McDonald has re

of Wide Fellowship and is going

the Southern Pines Methodist
Church, starting Sunday.
The Methodists expect to get

are being held while the church
building is under construction.
Mrs. McDonald has been or
ganist at the Church of Wide Fel
lowship for the past 17 year% and
until three years ago, when a
choir director was procured, she
directed the choirs. Many local
people, not only of that church
but of churches throughout the
Sandhills, as well as winter vis

and the musical programs which
she has directed for many special
occasions.
