Kecital.
The recital here last Tuesday
night by Mr. and Mrs. Chas. L.
Householder of Jackson, given at
Tteynolds Theatre, was a very fine
treat. Mr. and Mrs. Householder
were here under the auspices of the
American Legion. They are both
Tery talented, and they were both in
service in the European war. Capt.
Householder was in military service
in France and he is very familiar
with the various experiences of the
late war. However, he touched light
ly on the theme of war and mixed
his address with story telling.
Mrs. Householder gave a number
of readings and song recitals. She
is gifted in both. Every one of them
was enjoyed thoroly. It was, how
ever, the very last whicn was most
charming. This was a lullaby and
here talent was inspired with the
feminine instinct. This song act was
really an artistic triumph and the
audience responded heartily. People
of Union City enjoyed the visit of
Mr. and Mrs"." Householder,

. The Christian Endeavor Society of
the . P. jChurch was very fortunate
in having two of our Union City girls
with them last Sunday evening. Mrs.

piano and voice in Milligan and also

tween the Juniors and Seniors, which

Seniors winning 6-4. Some day we

them.

last Sunday evening with the Whites
in the lead, 690-674. During the
contest, which lasted three months,
there have been 22 new members
added to the society and the average
attendance at the Sunday evening
prayer meeting has been 67. ' The
active membership at present is 80
but this will be cut down by the or
ganization of the Intermediate So
ciety, many of the members of which
will come out of the Senior Society.

the evening service 22, and at the
midweek prayer meeting of 14.
