Following the supper the group

spoke to the group. Miss Kelly has

of hame missionary work since
leaving Winston-Salem. She has
been appointed by the Mission
Board as a Missionary to Africa,
and will sail soon for her new
work. She made a most interest
ing talk on her work. This was
enjoyed very much, due to the
fact that she made us feel that
we had been all the way to Africa
and back. As she goes to Africa
she has many friends both in the
Winston and Elkin clubs who will
be interested in her welfare. It
will be remembered that she was
instrumental in organizing the
first L. H. C. Club.

sheets and pillow cases were giv
en her as a parting gift.

father’s pistol was loaded.
The man who stayed in a
closed garage with his auto run
ning.
The man who used wood alco
hol for his cocktail.

he could beat the train to the
crossing.
