ADEL, BERRIEN COT, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, May 3, T OS
Memorial Exercises.
Adel pulled herself together
just in time for a partial obser¬
vation of Memorial Day. The
rallying forces were the teachers
and students of the Adel Institute
and the Adel band. The exer¬
cises were held at the Institute
I Friday afternoon and the audito-
rum was crowded to its fullest
capacity. The band boys occupied
seats in the the rear and rendered
several appropriate selections.
The school sang the national an¬
them, and Mr. Culpepper, the
preacher-principal, after a few
explanatory remarks, introduced
Ool. L. E. Lastinger. Col Las-
tinger was in the great struggle of
the 60’s and recalled a few of his
experiences and hardships as a
confederate soldier. In his con¬
clusion he introduced Capt. G. A,
Jackson as the orator of the day.
Capt. Jackson responded in a
happy vein, paying just tribute
to departed comrades and in an
easy manner dr3\v touching word
pictures of many thrilling events
which transpired during the four
years thtxnv
bn
Gov. Taylor’s Let :ture.
A good-natured, anti
mored crowd of a dozen, includ¬
ing The News scribe, Went down
to Valdosta Saturday afternoon
and heard Bob Taylor’!^ new lec¬
ture on “sentiment.” JGov. Tay¬
lor has but few equals /and no su¬
periors day and on ti e large lecture cro\pl pjlatform availed to¬
a
themselves of the opportunity to
hear him Saturday nlight. We
haven’t words or rhetojric to soar
in the lecturer’s atmosphere for
he is an artist of the highest at¬
tainments and his beautiful word
pictures will not soon fade away
from the minds of those who
heard him in Valdqsta. His
word* are music and his prose is
a poem from beginning to end.
There is mirth, philosophy and
gospel all combined in his every
sentence. Don't ever miss an
opportunity of hearing Bob Tay¬
lor.

Methodist Sendees Sunday.
The Methodist services
Sunday under the leadership
Rev. S. S. Kemp were usually
well attended, the house being
comfortably filled. After the
morning lesson was read Pastor
Kemp preached a plain, practical
sermon from the text “The sum¬
mer is over, the harvest is ended
and we are not saved.” Bro.
Kemp is always clear and strong
in his discourses and the church
seems to be prospering under his
shepherding. Two new members
were received into the church at
the conclusion of the morning
service Sunday. The work on
their new building is now uuder
way and wiU be pushed tc com¬
pletion.
Prof. Hartsfield’g cornet ac¬
companiments added much to the
excellent efforts of the choir in
rendering the musical prpgram.

Fancy Hop.
The worshipers of Terpsichore
held high carnival last Friday
night in the new Kennon Hall.
Sparks and Heartpine, as well ns
the country round-a-bout, joined
hands with Adel and balanced
all to the happy music from
stringed instruments in the hands
of Messrs. Cunningham and
Hartsfield. A large crowd at¬
tended and enjoyed themselves
until a late hour.
Mr. W. J. Baxter of North
Brook, N. 0. says he suffered
with piles for fifteen years. He
tried many remedies with no
results until he used DeWitt’s
Witch Hazel Salve and that quick¬
ly cured him. Peeples & Tygart.
