Mrs. J. W. Joyner enjoyed two Thanksgiving dinners Thursday. Mrs. Joyner had dinner at noon with her mother, and at 6 o’clock with her daughter, Mrs. M. G. Tate, of Memphis. Mrs. Joyner returned home Friday and reported that the sermon preached by Bishop Mouzon in the First Methodist church in Memphis was of an immensely high order, and a large attendance.

The sound of Christmas wedding bells has waked up our people and a good congregation was at church Sunday. It looks like two or three weddings this way pretty soon. Better keep awake. “Something doin’ in these diggins.'”

Sergt. John B. Joyner will arrive in a few days from San Francisco for the first visit home in four years. he is back from a soldiers’ trip around the world and will be furloughed for one month. he goes from here to Chicago about the 5th of January.

Miss Geneva and James with their father, Rev. J. W. Joyner, had Thanksgiving dinner with the family of Mr. B. F. Boydston on Locustdale Stock Farm in District No. 4. It was an ideal farm-raised dinner and had everything one could want. Everything served was raised on the farm, with the exception of the sugar and coffee. The dinner, Brother Joyner reports, would have satisfied the most exacting and made even a wooden man long for farm life where these dinners grow. It’s good to be there.

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Blakey and sister, Miss Leona, visited relatives Thanksgiving. Misses Hooker Mitchell and Elner Crouch returned to their homes in Memphis with them.

Misses Katie Craig and Ethel Wright visited Salem Thursday.

Miss Thelma Craig, of Munford, spent the week-end with her cousin, Miss Mabel Ruth, of this place.

Master Ersel, son of Mr. John Beaver, of Tipton, fell while carrying a heavy stick of wood and had the misfortune to break both bones of his left leg. The fracture was so complete that it was necessary to carry him to Memphis to have it set and dressed. He has a host of friends in the Munford school where he was a much-loved pupil.

The congregations at Campground and Poplar Grove, counting the bad day, was good Sunday. Preaching next Sunday at Quito at 11 a.m. and at New Bethel at 3 p.m. The League and B. Y. P. U. are holding some good meetings at the 6 o’clock hour each Sunday night.
