Mesdames Williamson and An
drew were at home to the mem
bers of the Baptist Aid society
on Tuesday afternoon, and de-
spite the rain, a number of mem-
bers and friends were present.
The president, Mrs. Browning,
conducted a most interesting and
instructive lesson.
On account of the aid not
meeting at last regular time, an
unusual amount of business was
on hand. Various committee re-
ports were heard and new busi-
ness brought up.
The coming meeting was dis-
cussed and the aid stands ready
to advance any plans of the
church on this line.
Two new members, Mesdames
Sanders and Roy Morris, were
made welcome. Mesdames Car-
penter, Wright, Rippy and Day

Mrs. Day invited the society to
hold its next meeting with her;
the invitation was gladly accept-
ed.

Christian Ladies’ Aid.
The Ladies’ Aid Society of the
Christian church met with Mrs.

The lesson, which was 14th chap-
ter of Acts, was led by Mrs. M.
Little, who has kindly consented
to conduct all the lessons on the
missionary journeys of Apostle
Paul. She has made a thorough
study of this series of lessons
and teaches in an earnest, force-
ful manner.
Mrs. C. L. Bradley, our pas-
tor’s mother, was with us. She
is an excellent Bible scholar and
her thoughts on the lesson were
very interesting.
A few business matters were
brought before the house, after
which the meeting adjourned.

salad course to the following:
Mesdames Singletary, Bradley,
C. L. Bradley, Little, Ezzell, S.

The board of managers of thp
Baptist Encampment met here
Tuesday night. They decided to
put a man in the field to raise the
money to liquidate Jhe]indebted-
ness on Hancock park. They
decided to give about 7 acres of
the park, lying on the north side-
of the creek, to the State Baraca
and Philathea associations to be
converted into an amusement,
park, with baseball grounds, ten-
nis, croquet, etc., with boating'
facilities, and hope to offer in-
ducements sufficient to bring
large numbers of these organiza-
tions to the encampment. It was
decided by the board to set aside
that portion of the park from the
spring, south to the main drive-
way, for a park to be called the
Lampasas Park, to be used by
the public and improved by them.
The two circles nearest the pa-
vilion were set aside to the ladies
to be improved by them.
E. J. Mathews, of Austin, reg-
istrar of State University and
president of the State Baptist Ba-
raca and Philathea Association,
was here in interest of his work.
He desires to have a day at the
Baptist Encampment next sum-
mer in which to illustrate this
work. Last summer Mrs. Biai-
l°ck and her organization were
here from McGregor and gave a
very interesting program to a
very small audience. Those who
were permitted to witness this
model class performance were
convinced of the power of organ-
ized effort in this line of work It
is hoped that the people of Lam-
pasas as well as a great many
visitors may be present to wit-
ness these exercises next summer.
Bring us your produce, we pay
cash.
