[Temperance Lectures
By Miss Tingling.
On Dec. 17th Inst, wo loft Davisboro
for Brooklet, our now pastoral charge,
after a residence in Washington county
of three of the most pleasant years of
our life. We were met at the train by
a band of loyal women, who escorted
us to a convenient and commodious
six-room parsonage newly painted and
neatly furnished, where a warm wel
come and a bountiful repast awaited
ub ; with a well filled larder which has
since been constantly replenished with
spare ribs, back bones, sausage, hams,
etc, to the edification of an erstwhile
hungry editor and his family.
We are sure there is not a more de
lightful charge in the South Georgia
Conference than Davisboro and New
Hope. The people of that charge are
both loyal and liberal and any pastor
is exceedingly fortunate who is as-
signed to serve them. We confidently
expected to be returned there, but the
verdict of a petit fury and the appoint
ments of a Bishop and his Cabinet, as
contradistinguished from death and
taxes, are the certain uncertainties of
life. In justice to our former presid
ing elder, we wish to say, however,
that he consented to our removal only
with the distinct understanding that
we should receive an increase in sal
ary. The so-called financial stringency
may deter this.
The Brooklet charge consists of three
churches, two located on the Savan
nab and Statesboro railroad, and one
in the country, situated in that line
agricultural section that has won re
peatedly the first prize for Bulloch
county nt the state fairs. We have ap
pointments in Brooklet two Sundays a
month, one Sunday each at the other
churches. New Hope, the church !o
cated off the railroad, is reputed to he
the most handsome and best appointed
country church in the state. It is
thoroughly modprn in it architectural
design, having inclined door, Sunday
school rooms, pastor’s study, etc. It is
certainly the most handsome country
hurch that we have ever seen.
As to Brooklet, the town is having a
mo9t rapid and phenomenal growth,
several families having located here
since we came in December.
In writing of the towns development,
Editor J. It. Miller, of the Statesboro
News, who was a visitor here last week
describe it as follows:
One of the best little towns in this
section of Georgia is the nourishing
little town Brooklet. Located in the
midst of the best agricultural section
n Southeast Georgia, and populated by
ns line a class of citizens ns can he
found in the state there is no reason
why it should not ^continue to grow
and thrive.
Besides its many mercantile estah
ishtnents Brooklet lias one of the best
hanks of any town its size in the coun
try. The Bank of Brooklet made a
magnificent showing for its first year
of existence ; one in every manner sat
isfactory to its stockholders and pa
trons. A neat sum was passed to the
surplus account at the end of tho first
which makes an excellent show-

Election to be Held
on June Fourth.
The people of Sandersville had the
opportunity of hearing two temperance
[lectures by Miss Gristine I. Tinling of
England last week. The first was
lelivered at the Methodist church
sday night after the conclusion of
the prayer meeting services. On ac
wunt of the inclement weather only i
email audience greeted her, hut she
Bpoke in a fluent and convincing man
■tier. She was introduced by Mayor
(Evans who made refernce to the greut
;ood that the temperance sentiment
done for the people of our im
[mediate section and the unselfish woi'it
lone by the noble hand of women who
lave associated under the name
■the Woman’s Christian Temperance
[Union,
Miss Tinling reviewed the work
hich is beng done in this and foreign
Bands by the W. 0. T..TJ. and pleaded
L ih her hearers to abstain from the
pse of anything of an intoxicating na-
Itnre. She related several incidents
plowing to what depths of depravity
■the habitual users of alcoholic stimu
li ant a will fall. Her plea was for purity
in all of our habits.
Eriduy night Miss Tinling lectured
the Odd Fellows Hall in the Pringle
[building, being introduced by Com
piissioner Wood, and she was listened
| to with marked attention by those
present. She is doing a good work in
[instilling into the people a higher re
pard for the duties we owe to ourselves
por families and our neighbors. She
pisist -d on active co operation of the
ponperance people in their endeavors
|to forever keep the saloons closed
the state of Georgia, and thus help
Mdier states to have the same bene
dal laws enacted.

ing.
Brooklet now has a population of
some seven or eight hundred people,
and boasts one of the best schools in
the county. In fact it is Brooklet’s fine
school and citizenry that makes it a
desirable place to live in more than
anything else. In addition to the
school there are two neat and commo
dious church buildingH, and a public
ginnery, which handles several hun
dred bales of cotton every season. Dr.
J. M. McElveen is completing one of
the be6t homes we have seen, which,
by the way, is the best one in town.
Brooklet is marching ahead in spite
of the hard times.”
The prime purpose of this article is
the expression of our deep and abiding
appreciation of the many courtesies
which we have enjoyed at the hands of
the good people of Washington county.
Gratefully yours,
W. A. Brooks.
