 Kenmare. – The members at this place met July 17 to form an organization. Elders A. E. Weaver and J. P. Beagle were with us. Name of organization is “Des Lace Valley” church. One brother was called to the office of deacon. We decided to adopt the ballot system in electing of officers.  We have two ministers and two deacons.  Bro. A. E. Weaver, of Bowbells, has charge of this new organization.  The members are conducting an interesting Sunday school here. – Ida A. Beagle, July 17
