Should any clerk fail ’ to receive same kindly write me and I will forward another copy by re turn mail. The Association meets this year on Thursday and Friday, October Ist and 2nd, with the Sandy Cpeek church, two and one-half miles west of Staley. The church is more com monly known as Shady Grove. Please remember the motion passed in 1922 at Rocky River church, “That the clerk be requested to distribute the minutes to the churches in pro portion to the money sent up by the ’ various churches for the purpose of printing same.” This report was a mended with the request that the clerk send at least 3 copies to churches financially unable to send up any money for minutes. Twenty-two churches failed to send in any minute fund last year. It is very important that the pastor and the clerk be furnished a copy of the minutes, so if your church is financi ally unable to send up a minute fund let me know now and it will be my pleasure to send you at least 3 copies. The following brethren were ap pointed to arrange program for this meeting: Rev. J. E. Ayscue, C. C. Poe, T. H. Dunlap, J. R. King and D. B. Teague. I am very anxious to get a report from every church in the Association this year; so please send me, at least, the name of your pastor, clerk, and treasurer, with their addresses. Yours for a bigger, better, Associa tion. H. A. TEAGUE, Clerk Sandy Creek Baptist Association. Hilliard-Elkin Perry Reunion It was a memorable day with the people who gathered at Bear Creek church, August 19. By 11 o’clock there had gathered people from the surrounding country, also from Greensboro, Durham, Sanford and other places. At 11:30 the people gathered in church where song ser vice was rendered and prayer was offered. An organization began. Mr. J. W. Cheek, of Bear Creek, was elected President, he being a descendant of the Perry family. Mr. Lester Hil liard, representing the Hilliard family, was elected Vice-President. Mr. R. W. Elkin was chosen as Assistant, he representing the Elkin family. Miss Emma Hilliard was elected secretary. After organization Dr. Gregg, of Liberty, proceeded to give a historical sketch of the early settlers of the Hilliard family, as he found it in the colonial records*. He told them he found that the Colonial Records show that there were three brothers of the Hilliard family that came to Amer ica from Sweden in 1770. They fought in the Revolutionary War and afterwards one settled in Halifax, one in Virginia, and one in Georgia. And from what he could find they need not be ashamed of their fore fathers. He did not take time to search the records of the Perry fam ily, as it consumed so much time. He found the Perry settlers covered thirty-four pages in the Colonial Records; that they were of the stock of Admiral Perry whom history tells us about. And he found the Elkins also had some noted men. He doubted if three other families connected could be found that produced a better record of their forefathers than these three. Dr. Gregg was asked by members of these to search the Colonial Rec ords and get all the information he can of the Elkins and Perrys, and give it to them next reunion. After giving historical the sketch, he spoke on how important it is that we should live so our coming gener ations shall be proud of us. The next j reunion will be held at Goldston, N. C. in July or August. After a benediction, everybody was invited to go to the table in the grove, where was spread a grand dinner. It was an enjoyable occasion, and we hope to see a larger attendance next \ ONE PRESENT THE SIX-COUNTY FAIR To the People of Chatham County: Some of you good people do not understand why Chatham county was included in the Mebane Six-County Fair district.

His body was brought back and laid to rest in his native soil August 13th, at old Buffalo Presbyterian church, now Sanford cemetery.

He even went to Dal las, Texas, where the last reunion was held in May, though his health was then very poor. His family urged him not to go, thinking it would be too much for his feeble strength, but so eagerly did he insist on going that his family physician thought best to yield to his wishes. He was a native of Moore, but lived a part of his life in Chatham where he was married to Miss Laura Lloyd. He leaves a wife and many rela tives to mourn their loss.
