The ladies of St. James’ Parish, Bolivar, met at the Sunday School chapel on Monday evening last, and organized a Church Guild, electing as officers: Mrs. A. T. McNEAL – President, Miss Annie TOTTEN – V. President, Miss Minnie NEELY – Secretary and Treasurer. The Guild will meet at the Chapel every Thursday at 2pm. It will also have meetings one every two weeks on Monday evenings at 7:30pm, at the houses of the members of the Guild where convenient, and at these meetings there will be reading, recitations, music, charades, etc. The public are invited to attend these meetings, and all the members of the Guild, and the visitors will be expected to deposit a nickel each with the Treasurer as a contribution to the fund of the Guild. The accumulating nickels will be put to good use, and it is hoped that the enjoyment and instruction from these readings will be worth at least a nickel to the members and visitors. The first of these meetings will be at St. James’ Hall next Monday evening at 7:30pm. All are invited.
