THE ALL-DAY SINGING AT
HARMONY
jvuny Were There Sunday to Sing the
Old Songs ot Zion and Report
a Delightful Time.
MAYOR OF CORDELE
PASSED AWAY FRIDAY
C. C. Cutts, For a Number of Years
Mayor, and Prominent in Other
Affairs, Breathes Last.
There come times In our lives when
we are made to rejoice. Such a time
as this was enjoyed by all who
attended the all day singing ot Har
mony lost Sunday.
It was a day spent .most delightful
and pleasant by all—one which all
seemed to hove enjoyed and appre
ciated. There were a large crowd
present and a band of excellent
singers, who united in singing the
“blessed Songs of Zion.”
A Thesinging was begun by Mr J. B.
Wolds, with Miss Cleo Graham as
7organist. After which Rev. J. M.
' Kelley was elected chairman, and
T. W. Tippett as secretary. The
chairman appointed Messrs. Lee
Adams, Joe Graham and George
Hayden as committee on arrange
ments for the day. They retired and
soon returned with their report.
The following is the program that
was carried out during the day.
Lessons for 15 minutes led by:
, Carlton McKenny, Miss Mollie
, Mixon, organist; Demit Williams,
" Miss Bertha Bullington, organist;
George Hogsett, Miss Maud Adkins,
organist; E. C. Forehand, Miss Bertha
Bullington, organist.
Recess for fifteen minutes.
E. Hill, Miss Bertha Bullington,
organist; W. H. Hogsett. Mrs. Geor
gia Scarborough; A. C. Bullington,
Miss Bertha Bullington, organist; D.
C. Joiner, Mrs. Georgia Scarborough,
organist.
Then adjourned for dinner until
2 o'clock.
I.. H. Mashburn, L. M. Mashburn,
A. W. Calhoun, J. W. Folds, with
Mrs. Georgia Scarborough, organist
Recess for fifteen minutes. 1
,4 Kdd Slaughter, E. O. Noble, L. M.
5 Mashburn, D. C. Mashburn, with
Mrs. Duncan, organist.
There was a most bountiful dinner
spread, and all partook most heartily
- -a plenty for all. Also there was
splendid orderduringtheday, though
t ie chairman, Bro. Kelley, would
occasionally have to remind them
that a man fell out the window and
broke his neck once upon a time.
Some remarked that Bro. Kelley
made the best chairman that they
had ever seen. True, he did make a
good one, for lie was always saying
* something, telling some anecdote or
another. Hurrah for the Chairman!
We are longing for another singing
like the one we enjoyed at Harmony.

A gloom Is cast over the city at the
announcement of the death of Mayor
Cutts, which occurred at his home
last night at 11:30 o'clock after an
illness of nine weeks.
Mr. Cutts was born in North Caro
lina and reached the age of 39 years.
He.moved to Cordele 14 years ago
when the city was a village and at
once endeared himself in the hearts
of the people and has been honored
with three terms as Mayor of the
city.
Charlie Cutts was the soul of every
new enterprise that was offered to
Cordele; he had a special talent for
arousing the enthusiasm and the
confidence of the people in the future
unfolding of Cordele and South Geor
gia; a gentleman remarked to us yes
terday that Cutts was worth more
than any five men in Cordele in the
way of building up new enterprises
and getting good things for our city.
The material interest of our city has
been greatly benefltted by ills intel
ligent activity.
Nino years ago Mr. Cutts was mar
ried to Miss Lena Colwell, daughter
of A. E. Colwell, at that time a lead
ing banker of this city.
Mr. Cutts was a faithful Christian
worker In Christ church nnd was a
vestryman when he died. He is sur
vived by his wife nnd one son, Fred
Harder Cutts, his mother, two broth
ers and three sisters, Mrs. E. F. Stro
ller of this city, Mrs. Kirkland, of
Tampa, Fla., and Mrs. Johnson, of
Rocky Mount, N. C.
Tlie funeral will occur at 4 o’clock
this afternoon from Christ Episcopal
church. The Knight Templars and
City Council will act as escort. -In
terment will lie at Sunny Side ceme
