RANDOM NOTES.
By Old Caesar.
Miss Annette Chambers, of Don
alsonville, spent the holidays with
her parents, Mr and Mrs. J. G.
Chambers at Sowhatchee.
Quite a number of visitors attend
ed preaching service here Sunday,
among whom we noticed Mr. Wash
Anderson and daughter, Miss Calli
sue. We extend to all visitors a
welcome to come and be with us
often.
While at Donalsonville we visited
Mr. R. D. Burton. Mr. Burton show
ed us a dining table 143 years old,
perfectly sound and steady. It was
made by a Mr. McWhorter in 1782,
who owned it for 65 years. Mr. R.
D. Burton’s father bought it when
Mr. McWhorter moved to Texas in
1847, and it has remained in the
Burton family until now. Mr. Bur
ton also showed us a bolster made
by his mother 56 years ago. These
bolsters have long since gone out
of date and to see one now is a
rare thing.
Our pastor will preach here again
next Saturday and Sunday—the first
Sunday and Saturday before. From
then on our preaching service will
be on the first Sunday and Saturday
before, also at the same time com
munion service will be held. This
being the end of the first Associa
tional quarter, reports from church
clerk, treasurer, Sunday School
secretary and B. Y. P. U. secretary
will be expected. Let each officer
be ready to make a report. Without
these reports, no church, Sunday
School nor B. Y. P. U. can make a
safe report to the Association; and,
too, you can refer to the work for
information in years to come and
get an accurate account. Very few
churches can use these books as a
reference—sometimes not for one
year.
With Mrs. Caesar we spent Christ
mas week in Donalsonville. There
is a machine at that place for shell
ing and sacking peanuts ready for
market. This machine shells and
sacks ony ton per day. Thirty-five
hands are required to do the work,
of which twentyt-eight are girls
ranging in age from 16 to 20 years.
These girls are paid $1.35 per day,
and you might think in meeting them
you would meet a lot of girls grimed
and besmeared with dust, but in
stead, they came out at noon for
dinner nicely dressed, faces pow
dered, shoes polished, no pushing, no
shoving with confusion, polite, smil
ing, joyous faces, healthy, full of
vigor and with a dignity that would
put to shame many of the high
dignitaries. A girl, to secure a job
at this place, is required to have
first-class recommendations, as Mr.
Ray, the owner, will not employ any
but first-class girls. Not all these
girls are of the poorer class. Some
belong in well-to-do homes. It is
not an easy matter to get a position
in the elevator, but once there, they
stay. Mr. Ray is good and kind
and treats them as his own girls.
It was our privilege to be present
last Wednesday afternoon when Mr.
Ray paid off for the week. In addi
tion to the wages for three days
of the* week, each and every one
found an extra $5.00 bill in her en
velope as a Christmas gift. This
machine runs all the year, except
two or three weeks in mid-summer.
Syrup is short, put what you make
in cans, we have them.

IS YOUR WORK HARD?
Many Blakely Folks Have Found
How to Make Work Easier.
What is so hard as a day’s work
with an aching back—
Or sharp stabs of pain at every
sudden twist or turn?
There is no peace from that dull
ache.
No rest from the soreness, lame
ness and weakness.
Many folks have found relief
through Doan's Pills. They are a
stimulant diuretic to the kidneys.
Blakely people recommend Doan’s.
Mrs. A. J. Pipkin, 354 Flowers
Drive. Blakely, says: “My kidneys
acted too often at times and again
they were sluggish. I had dizzy
spells and headaches, too. It was
hard for me to keep up with my
work, for my back was lame and
weak. When I stooped to dust, a
catch seized me through my kid
neys. I used Doan's Pills and in
a short time, I was entirely re
lieved.”
