Members of Ann Street Methodist Church have again of nnart a dav to commeiu- nrat.e the founding of their Church in 1778. 165 years a cm onH tn nav tribute to those who carried on dur inir Vio hard earlv years in spite of the distress due to a war in which the enemy ev en visited Beaufort shores. Now because of another war, with its familiar restrictions, the Committee has planned a less elab orate celebration than for the past two years, but those wno love cneir church and are grateful to the founders have nevertheless set a part next Sunday as a day of ap preciation. At the eleven o'clock service, the Rev. W. Stanley Potter will speaji on The Church Alive, and the choir will render special music suitable for the occasion. At the evening service. Mr. M. Leslie Davis, who knows and can recall and present m an interesting manner more facts about our town than anyone it it, has agreed to tell the congre gation some of the stories of old Beaufort suitable for such an oc casion. At this service both the ad ult and the Sunshine Choir will give special numbers. For nearly seventy-hve years following the Revolutionary War, the Methodist Church was the on ly house of worship in Beaufort. There is no family with roots deep here, members of which have not at some time had a heart interest in it as their church home. This makes the circle of those who will be interested in this service of ap preciation reach far out beyond the present membership. Every one is invited to attend and honor not only the founders but all the faithful ones who have carried on ihe work throughout the years. 2,715 Pounds Wool Marketed on 8th.
