RANDOM NOTES
By Old Caesar.
It was our pleasure to meet our
old friend, Mr. J. C. English, of Lib
erty Hill, last Sunday, the 15th inst.,
at Sowhatchee. Bro. English is one
of Sowhatchee’s boys and a welcome
visitor at any home here. Success
to you, brother.
A series of meetings are now in
progress at Zion church. Rev. S.
Eley, pastor, is assisted by Rev. E.
B. Joyner, of Dukes, Fla. The meet
ing will continue possibly the en
tire week, during which time we
should be able to get results.
Should the meeting at Zion close
Friday night, the officers of the S.
S. and B. Y. P. U. are asked to
meet at the Baptist church Saturday
night, the 21st, at 7:30 p. m., for
the purpose of organizing a study
club. As we now stand, we are too
far apart and we do not understand
our position toward those whom we
would teach. All are invited. Let
all the teachers, leaders and other
officers be present.
The fair correspondent of Sow
hatchee last week showed great sym
pathy for Old Caesar by using the
word wonderful when the word ludi
crous would have been more appro
priate. However, we will give it in
right. That charming young lady
found out that Old and Mrs. Caesar
would like to go to Mayhaw, Miller
county, the 4th inst., and came early
the morning of the 4th, accompanied
by Miss Mattie Lee, of Beaumont,
Texas. Away we went and Old Cae
sar had settled back to enjoy things
right when Miss Willis made a turn
to avoid a bad place in the road,
and down we went in the bog. We
ease out and found we would have
to prize out. Off we went to hunt
a pole and every few steps we
would find where some one else had
prized out. Soon we found a pole
15 feet long. Now to get it there.
We shouldered that pole and got it
to the car. By that time Mr. George
Temple and others were there to
help us. Soon we were out and an
other car stuck fast near us. We
helped them out and left On to
M'ayhaw and we found a lot of the
old boys at Col. J. F. Bush’s to
help enjoy the reunion. A bountiful
dinner was spread and we did it full
justice. At 3 p. m. we were ready
for the return trip. Miss Christine
Willis decided not to try the pond
again, but to go back byway of
Blakely. With a good road and with
an expert at the wheel like Miss
Willis, we sailed, we glided and we
flew and in one honr we were back
home. Thanks, many thanks, Miss
Christine, for the pleasant trip.
Last Friday night we concluded a
most wonderful meeting at Sowhat
chee Baptist church, something that
nearly all had said could not be ac
complished and had given up in
despair. Our pastor and a few
others put in to do this work, and
it was done. Bro. Matthews said
it must be done and done now. He
worked day and night and left us
Saturday mornng a wearied and
worn, but happy, man. Bro. Mat
thews is a man that doesn’t know
defeat.
Visiting at the pleasant home of
Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Willis the past
week were Mrs. J. B. Bivings of
Jesup, Mr. J. W. Pelham of Gordon,
Ala., Misses Beulah and Jessie Lee
Sapp, M’r. Hollie Wadford and sis
ter, Miss Eula, and Miss Edna Mc-
Donald of Graceville, Fla. Miss El
lene Willis returned home with these
young people to spend the week.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS
'HINTS on fashions
FOR FALL SEASON
It has been customary in the past
seasons for us to give a few hints as
will be fashion’s decree for the com
ing fall season.
Indications are that very interest
ing fashions are in store, as seen
from reports and fashions from both
Paris and New York.
The coat suit will again be popu
lar, but very different; the coat be
ing tight fitting, plain tailored al
most as a riding habit, single-breast
ed and a slight flare, finger length
or even shorter, long slender notch
revers and a link button closing at
the normal waist line.
The coat dress, next in line in pop
ularity, presents smart models thai
will be even in front diagonally
tiered. Skirts of very fine poiret
\will are mostly used for these
dresses. Trimmings of linen are
shown on many of these models.
As to coats, from what can be
observed at the present time, early
fashions show a tie on the side.
Very likely the flare, which was a
late spring product, will be in vogue
for this fall.
For short lengths ten inches from
the ground is considered proper.
The blouse is of a shirt type,
sometimes collarless, and will be
used four to five inches below
waist line. This style of blouse is
used mostly in connection with the
coat suits. The fancy blouse is by
no means a discard and will be
used more elaborately embroidered
and beaded than ever. Very likely
the greatest change in dress will be
the introduction of circular flares and
the tiered skirt. However, from for
mer seasons, although fashions show
them for the late spring, they will
be a factor for fall.
While it is rather early to fortell
regarding evening apparel, this much
can be said. What has been shown
so far are bodices very much un
trimmed, oval back and medium low
decolette.
New weaves in silks will be
shown, velvets are also promised to
be very good for this fall. Char
meen, a new dress material, is firm,
yet thin, silky in appearance. Char-

minette is a similar fabric, as is
‘piquetin and cordinette. For suits
such fabrics as twill cord, Ddvet De
Laine and Melveen Velona, while
not exactly new, will be seen again.
There are, however, new fabrics
which have made their appearance
and are named vilrosa and mirrova.
These materials look like velvet and
have a beautiful luster.
Popular for suits are such fabrics
as veldyne, velmara, gerona, tarquina,
marvella, turnuela oriona, of which
survetta is the newest.
New colors for fall are karna (a
gray), thibet, cobalt, squirrel, kit fox
and various other shades of gray;
San Juan, Tampa (dark tan shades),
maloy (a brown), biskara (a henna),
samara (a green), bunny ( grey),
porphyry granite (from King Tut),
Vesuvian (coffee), Zanzibar (shade of
brown), Venetian (a light shade of
, navy), also navy and black, which
are as good as always.
1 THE BLUFFTON ENCAMPMENT.
j Resolutions Adopted at the Close of
the Session.
WHEREAS: The Encampment of
the Betllel Baptist Association has
been a wonderful and a blessed suc

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED:
By all those who have enjoyed the
fellowship, profited by the teachings
and been inspired by the messages,
that the thanks of the Association,
and especially of those individuals
who have been present, are hereby
tendered to the Bluffton Church and
community, the Pastor, Rev. Henry
M. Melton, who has been so untiring
in his efforts to make this a success,
to Rev. S. B. King for his work in
preparing the program and to every
one of those who so well filled their
parts, teachers and speakers, on the
program; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED:
That it is the sense of all those voting
for this resolution, that this Encamp
ment should be made an Annual af
fair, reaching in its teaching and in
spiring power every church in the
Association and every individual who
will come; and since Bluffton Is the
logical place for the location of such
an Encampment, we hereby call for
the appointment by the Executive
Committee of the Bethel Association
of an ENCAMPMENT COMMITTEE,
of which Rev. Henry M. Melton of
Arlington shall be general Chairman,
which shall consist of one member
in each church for each fifty members
on roll, with a District Chairman in
each of the seven districts of the
Association: the duties of which Com
mittee shall be to formulate plans
for the encampment for future years,
and, as it may deem wise, for the erect
ion of a large Auditorium to be known
as ‘The Henry Melton Hall’.
AND WB HEREBY PLEDGE OUR
SELVES to do our utmost, in our
several churches, to make this plan
a real success, even as the good people
of Bluffton have given themselves
so unstintingly to the success of this
Encampment.
