Under the auspices ot the Bell
wood ministerium two Thanksgiving services were beld on
Wednesday evening Nov. 27. Oae
was beld in the Methodist church
with Bev. H. G. Dooley preaching
and the other in tbe Church of the
Brethren with Rev. L. B. Wilson
preaching. The change of boor
from 10 o'olook Thursday morning on Thanksgiving day to 7.80
on Thanksgiving eve was made
with the expectation that the
change would meet the convenience of a larger number of people.
Inasmucn as there was no increase
in attendance the probability is
that next year tbe Thanksgiving
services will be beld on Thanksgiving day.
