Rosman WOW Camp In Memorial Service j Memorial services for deceased. members of the Rosman Woodmen camp were held Sunday morning at Zion Baptist church with the Rev. W. H. Nicholson of Salem, a former pastor of the church, in charge. The Rev. Mr. Nicholson, who still I retains his membership in _ the Ros- j man Woodmen camp, used in a very appropriate sermon the worth- J whileness of fraternal orders and stressed the fact that the geatness of •fraternal orders came from the fact that here was unity of spirit andj action.
