[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- Governing the" Primary 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. ’W . > A _ year 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.
