MEMORIAL EXERCISES
CALLED OFF ON AC

Due to a considerable number of
cases of sickness in the community
memorial exercises for Confederate
heroes scheduled for Saturday last,
were at the last momemnt abandon-
We boast of roads that we shape
and tread;
But, whether we like it or no,
We take the roads that were made
for us ‘
Long ages and ages ago.
Will you be ready to fight disease and the stifling
hot summer days that will soon be here? It should be
the aim of every man, woman or child to have their
blood cleansed at the beginning of the summer days
so as to prevent any disease that might be prevalent
during the summer from taking hold of their systems.
This is especially true now on account of . smallpox
germs that are floating in the air and while many of us
have taken to vaccination there are others that do not
wish to and they should start now to cleansing their
bipod.
Elaborate preparations for the oc
casion had been completed by mem
bers of the U. D. C. who- regretted
very much the necessity for a change
of .plans. Hon. A. IV Persons, of
Talbotton, had been chosen as orator
-of the day and many were disap
pointed in 'not having the opportu
nity of hearing him.
A number of veterans were pres
ent for the exercises- and were en
tertained by friends.

ministrels next week.

tend a welcome to Mr. and Mrs. H.

From sheltered waters and follow

METHODIST REVIVAL SERVICES
CLOSED SUNDAY NIGHT
Revival services, which had been
progress at the Methodist church
only one week, terminated rather
unexpectedly Sunday night on ac
count of a vast amount of sickness
in the community.
The many strong evangelistic ser
mons delivered by Rev. O. L. Kelley
during the continuation of the meet
ing last week were greatly appre
ciated by the congregation which
heard him and were the sources of
brining the church and Christian
people of the town generally closer
together than in a long while.
Much interest was added to the
services during the last days of the
meeting by special choir" music and
in which the many sweet solos sung
by Mrs. E. W. House, of Lumpkin,
daughter of Rev. Kelley, charmed
her audiences.
LARGE EAGLE KILLED IN
THE COUNTY LAST WEEK
The appearance of a large eagle
in this section attracted considerable
interest last week among those not
accustomed to seeing this class r*
wild birds.. Knowing thed anger to
chickens, as well as pigs and other
small domestic animals that lay in
the wake of this powerful bird ef
forts to destroy it were Instituted
and were successfully accomplished
by Mr. X W. Garrett who shot and
killed the unwelcomed visitor on his
farm Wednesday morning:
The eagle is said to have meas
ured six and one-half feet from rip
to tip of wings.
exceptional opportunities offered,
will be camping parties.
Why? To begin with there is
nothing quite so nice to do in the
summertime. The life in the great
out doors where the flowers are
blooming and the birds are singing,
and Where the sun calls one forth
each morning to a full and joyous
day of new experiences and leaves
one each‘evening to a night of rest
beneath the glimmering stars give
to all a new physical vigor, keen
ness to new impressions and a gen
eral feeling of joyousness and satis
faction that makes one. glad to be
alive. Then just think of the nice
'hings that may be done in camp,
hikes, swimming, rowing, fishing,
games, story telling and the like.
Where? No place affords greatoV
opportunities as above described than
the historic spot, the scene of many
courtships and match-makings, a
picturesque, near-home and home
like place, known as Fielding mill.
Special inducements have been of
fered campnig parties there this
year by the erection of a number of
cottages, some being furnished
throughout, which can be rented by
the . week or month at nominal cost
by applying to Mrs. G. A.' Roberts
or Mrs. H. E. Neisler. These ladies
are to be congratulated for the ef
forts they have made providing for
the enjoyment and recreation of the
public. So we again ask, why not go
camping.
