NEWS OF THE WEEK WITH
OUR RURAL CORRESPONDENTS
ROWENA NEWS ITEMS.
By Jumbo.
We were indeed saddened to hear
of the death of our old time friend
and former co-worker, the senior
editor of the News, Mr. W. W.
Fleming. We had known him for
fifty-odd years, and was associated
with him when he edited the Calhoun
County Courier years ago, and can
say that he was as good a man as
we ever worked with, truthful, hon
est and temperate. He was an up
right man, a loyal citizen and devout
Christian. He will be missed, not
only by his loved ones, but also by
his city, county and church. We
deeply sympathize with the be
reaved ones.

young ladies from Calhoun county.
She reports a most pleasant trip.
We are surprised at the gall dis
played by J. M. Slaton in off ering
for the U. S. Senate against Senator
Harris. He need not think that the
people have forgotten him commut
ing the death sentence of Leo Frank
for the murder of little Mary Pha
gan, and he will find out on the
10th of September how much Old
Man People think of him. He is a
dead number in Georgia politics.

and Mrs. E. H. Taliaferro, was taken
to Dr. Alford’s hospital in Bain
bridge one day last week for an op

This is Mr. J. G. Chambers’ muscle
story: He went to Sheffield’s mill
fishing and gave a boy a few hooks
to get him some muscle for bait.
The boy went to work digging in
the sand in the creek with his hand
and soon he found a dime buried
in the sand. Question: How come
it there? Did some one lose it there
or was it the rendezvous of boot
leggers or just a charming place to
go and take a smile with a good
friend, or was it the hiding jilace
of some miser’s hoardings, or was it
possible that an extra mint of the
U. S. was in operation near by? Mr.
Chambers will vouch for the truth
fulness of this and would like for
some one of the brilliant correspond
ents of the News to give a reasonable
explanation as to why it was deposit
ed there.
Next Friday, the 20th inst., the
Midway Sunday Schol Convention will
convene with Oak Grove church in
Miller county. There are but few
now living that know any thing about
the origin of this Convention, when
or where and by whom, and of the
four who got it up, orjly two are
living, and they are now very old,
yet active in the work. Should the
origin of this convention be placed
on the records of the Sunday Schools
in the Midway or not? This question
will come up next Friday for dis
cussion. Churches and all their aux
ilaries are too careless in preserving
records of their proceedings—at the
time of happening of trivial nature—
yet in the future grow to stupendous
heights. Let us carefully keep our
records for future use.
