The City Baraca-Philathea Union
bdd its re^lar monthly meeting Sun-
i^jjj*fternoon in the Baptist church,
president, Mr. M. A. Coble, pre-
iding. There a large crowd in
*ttendanee and the meeting proved
.\ery. inteiresting. The roll was call
ed by classes and they responded by
rising. Several classes that belong
were not repi-esentend,' while others
l\a.d larger delegrations than before.
Reports were heard from the diffr-
ent, committees, although some of
them had not organized. Most of the
meeting was given over to reports
fjin the Cohvtiitiuu delegates. Splen
did reports were given by Messrs.
A’ernon, Spoon, Holt and Stafford, and
Sliiises Walton, Cates, Coble and Rob
ertson. Kiss Cates soggested that
"We carry out one suggestion of the
-Convention, that of holding a fifty-
mile convention here some time dur
ing the swrsmer. This would mean a
convention of delegates from all the
classes within a radius of fifty miles,
nnd would prove to be almost as help
ful as a State Convention, with much
the cost and troable eliminated,
^is 'tt'as well received, and the plan
^ill be looked into and carried out if
posE^ljlej. The pre.-jidenfc urgad all
classes to organize “Secret Service”
committees, as the Convention em
phasized it so strongly. It is hoped
this Union wiil endeavor to carry
out many plans and suggestions of
fered at the Convention, and that it
ill be the means of helping all the
tiasses to do more and better \rorb
than evei' before. Hie classes be-
lasignig seem doopiy interested. The
next meetiiit; will be iield at t!ic Pro
