WEEKLY TDIES-ENTERPMSE DECEMBER 7, 1006,
MEIGH HAPPENINGS.
A Comlete Review of the Week
Prom that Town.
(By J. S. Searcy.)
New Block of Stores.
II Is said that a deal was made a
tew days since by which this place
will have another block of brick
stores. The buildings will sup
plant the wooden structures In the
post office line of stores, and will
be two stories. Plans are being
drawn so that the secret orders may
have a place to hide their goats. Of
fers are already being made for the
best places.
A Good Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving was observed here.
Every place of business was closed,
and so severely so that it surely
made It look like a real Sunday. One
prominent business man thought It
was Christmas and was carrying to
wards home a bottle of something;
while another thinking It was Sun
day wondered why a farmer had
brought a load of cotton to town.
But little reparation was made,
but a union service was held at the
Baptist church consisting of several
recitations and songs, and an excel
lent sermon by Rev. R. G. Jackson
of Center Hill, at 11 o'clock. Al
though he had but a day's notice
he made a fine effort.
At the evening service, Rev. H. P.
Jackson of Pelham preached anoth
er Interesting sermon. Mr. Bras
well also made a fine talk at the
evening service. Many of the grown
people went to other places, or went
off to the fields, so the church was
not filled at either service.
Wise Birds.
* But few birds lost their lives on
Thanksgiving. Luther Singletary
says that the birds around here
have "caught on,” to Thanksgiving
Day, and Just declares he'll never go
hunting on that day again.
Missed his Turkey.
This deponent threatened to shy
thanks over a turkey dinner, if ever
the day should again occur wnile
he lives. But “circumstances be
yond control” precluded the possi
bility of tho consummation of
such a determination this time. I
consoled myself with tho thought
that "better is a dry morsel with
peas and hominy, than a great feast
where there Is tripe.”
Mr. White's Sermon.
Rev. T. A. White' preached his
first sermon, of the two sermons a
month work which he has taken up
at the Baptist church In this place,
last Sunday. He was suffering from
an attack of neuralgia, but it was
pronounced the best'sermon of his
pastorate. It abounded Btriktngly
gospel truths, clothed In simple, but
beautiful and expressive language,
replete with rhetorical elegance.
Much Pine Syrup.
A gentleman from a neighboring
town said to me: "It Is a pity that
the syrup crop Is so damaged. It is
a hard matter to get a good sample
In my town.” ,
To be sure, be must be In a bad
streak. Never was the quality ol
syrup better than that which Is now
being brought to Meigs this season.
There are Messrs Rouse, Busy Jeff
Davis, who makes 200 barrels and
Uncle Joe Sasser and J. W. Sail
and a few others who live on a ridge
that has made the finest flavored
syrup In Thomas county. There Is
no complaint about this syrup. II
.Is bringing a good price here, too,
Good Farms.
It Is pleasing to nee the prosper
ous aspect of some of the farms near
this place. Notably among these 1
are the farms of Mr. C. R. Sasser,
and that of Mr. L. T. Langley, who
are near neighbors, besides several
others, who live In the same vicinity
South of Meigs.
Change of Honr.
The time of meeting of the Sun
day school at the Baptist church
was on last Sabbath changed, from
afternoon to morning. Supt. Bos
well, who Is always ‘right side up
with care’ In the Sunday school
work, has been re-elected as super
intendent. A slight change In the
teacher force, and It Is hoped that
everybody will be on hand with a
well studied lesson, next Sunday.
Musical Recital.
Miss Jefferson’s music class will
give a recital In the college auditor
ium, Friday evening, Dec.^l4tfi. The
program embraces other features
than music, and will be a very en
joyable occasion. Everybody Is In
vited. Seats free. Doors open at
seven.
School News.
The new building now going up
near the college building la to be
r as a dormitory attachment to
school will soon be completed.
It Is under the eye of Contractor
8. W. Mape. with a complement of
competent workmen. It will be two
stories high and will add much to
that locality.

' Christmas Stocks.
Our merchants are opening upa
quantity of Christmas goods. The
minds of the folks are already at
work to find out what will suit
this or that friend, and are having
things set away, so that they may
have a chance to change their mind
several times. The only trouble In
selecting Christmas presents, Is to
find something for the boys from
twelve to sixteen years. The mer
chant usually forget the boys of
that age. (I must be about that
age). A hat, chain, cravat, book a
Bible, silk suspenders, and thous
ands of such things will make glad
the heart of any young hoy.
