Our school enrollment reached 112 this year with Miss Sophia Kinder and Mr. Mayfield entering archival last Monday. Rev. Dew and Rev. Jenkins planned visits, the Primary department closed last week, and Miss Jamison did excellent work there. The April rains are tall, farmers sow oats and plant corn slowly due to the rate, Rev. Lowery is sick, and preaching at Post Oak Chapel and the Ridge is upcoming. Our Sunday School at the Ridge grows, with fruit prospects for a heavy crop, and several local residents visited churches and families Sunday evening.
