EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
FIFTY HAPPY YEARS
TOGETHER
“With all my worldly goods I thee
endow,” or words to that effect,
were spoken by Mr. Everett Pyle to
Miss Beulah Barefield, October 11,
1888. The occasion, of course, was
their wedding.
Then, in a little home, built of
pine logs, they began to live those
fifty happy years and to rear a fam
ily which contributes much to the
citizenry of Early county, as well as
beyond its bounds.
Seasons have come and gone,
times have changed, but the evi
dence is that the hearts of this gol
den-hearted couple have not changed
toward each other except to become
I more closely knit together.
Over a period of years, there came
to enliven the “little log cabin,” sev
en girls and two boys with their
happy chatter and pattering foot
steps. Os course, then, a larger
house must be provided, but not far
away from the previous spot of “our
beginning,” so to their many friends
and relatives in this section of the
country, Mr. and Mrs. Pyle have set
a beautiful example of permanency
of abode as well as affection toward
each other.
It is said by their closest friends
that they were never known to quar
rel, and if there were ever differ
ences between them, they kept it to
themselves.
As they have marched down
through the years, the way has
not always seemed smooth. “Into
their lives some rain has fallen,” too.
The death angel visited and carried
away one baby girl but Mr. and Mrs.
Pyle have been content to let God
choose His own way of blessing them
and when they could not under
stand, they still knew it was best,
because He willed it so.
As these fifty happy years termi
nated last Tuesday, October 11, in
a barbecue dinner at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Houston (a daugh
ter), scores of friends and relatives
gathered to help them joyously cel
ebrate their golden wedding anni
versary.
It was such a happy time! Joy,
gladness, and hearty appreciation
just beamed on the faces of these
dear people as gift after gift was
brought and placed on tables be
fore them. Sweet it was, to see in
their eyes that look of surreptitious
tenderness which in those grown
gray and sure of each other, takes
the place of the more open demon
strations.
How glad we are for them! And
how we are hoping that they may
[enjoy many more years among us!
And as we watch their daily lives,
jwe are sure we can wish nothing
better than that other young couples,
seeing them, may be inspired to aim
at the beautiful goal of “Fifty Hap
py Years Together.”

GRIER-PARRISH
Os interest to their friends is the
announcement of the marriage of
Miss Helen Dale Parrish to Mr.
Phillip M. Grier, which was solemniz
ed last Friday afternoon at 5:30
o’clock. The ceremony was perform
ed by the Rev. David F. Cripps at
the First Methodist church, Albany.
Mrs. Grier, whose home is in Bax
■ ley, has been the popular teacher of
[home economics in the Union school
[since the beginning of the fall term
of 1937. Since coming to this coun
ty she has endeared herself to many
friends. She is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. M. H. Parrish, of Baxley,
and is a sister to Mrs. J. E. Leger,
of this city.
Mr. Grier is a native Early coun
tian, the second son of Mr. and Mrs.
T. E. Grier. Formerly a teacher in
the county schools, he is now rural
carrier on route No. 5 out of the
Blakely office. He is well known
and admired by a large circle of
friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Grier are now at
home to their friends in their new
residence on Liberty street.
LANGSTON W. M. S.
We had a chicken supper last Fri
day night at the home of Mrs. A. B.
Bowman. A large crowd was pres

We are having our meeting Friday
afternoon at 3 o’clock at the church.
We warft all who possibly can to be
with us and make plans for the fu
ture work. We must make some
plans to finish our payments on the

Public Worship 11:00 a. m. and
7:00 p. m. The pastor is expected
to preach at both of these hours.

profit of these worship services.
The Junior Choir is rendering fine
service at the evening hour.

Wednesday evening.
We had a fine quarterly confer

THE BLAKELY
BAPTIST CHURCH
SPENCER B. KING, Pastor
We are counting on a hundred
men at the morning service next Sun
day. The pastor will speak on “Men
and the Kingdom”. At the evening
hour, “The True Foundation” is the
subject. Let us remember that Sun
day School begins at 9:45, and that
Sunday week (Oct. 30) is “Rally
Day”.
Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week our Association meets at Pine
view. Our church is not making quite
so good a report as usual, especially
in finances. Gifts for the past year
for all local work total $2,903.05 as
compared with $3,353.48 in 1937.
For all Missions, Education and Be
nevolence outside the local church
the total this year is $799.68, while
last year it was $1,066.30. Evidently
we do not ‘love the Lord’ as well as
we did last year, or perhaps we just
have not had it to give. We have
made a net increase in membership
of ten, receiving twelve by baptism,
one restoration and forty-six by let
ter; we have dismissed twenty-nine
by letter, excluded one and placed
fifteen on a “retired list” and have
lost four by death. The Sunday
School reports a total enrollment of
394 with an average attendance of
183. The Training Unions, with
four departments, show an active en
rollment of 59. The Woman’s Mis
