Georgia,[land those who are in the position to ku.OAJy say it is one of the best yet held, notwithstanding the dull summer and hardness of times, the attendance was good and $79.99 was raised. We did not reach the associ-i ation until Saturday, and was, sick during the time, but from what we saw abd from what was reported to us by the efficient clerk, the ajssociy ation was never treated to better sermons and addre.-sesj The sermons by Rev. E. P.. Johnson and Rev. J. P. Perrin' deserve special mention, ami would have to be heard to be appreciated. \\ e wish we birffi* space to comment on them, i Rev. A. B.

Hancock and the Clipper Man were the guests of Mr. rrt-nd Mrs. Alexander Tate. Mrs. Tate is a Christian wo- ■ man and knows just how to I <-are for her friends, while Mr. ' Tate, although not a member of the church, is a good man. They spared no pains in ffiiaking it pleasant for their Iguests. It will be a long time [before the preacher, school (teacher and editor will forget ,These kind and good people and tratment which they received while at the Tate home. Misses Janie Rucker, Lula Hye, Mary Frances Heard and Sele.na Byrd were among the popular ladies that were there. The latter two seemed to have a good time, but were at a lost because their friend Miss S. Carrie Patten, was absent. Miss Elizzabeth Strickland, tfehftjs teaching at New Mid dleton Baptist church, is doing a good work. She is a 4’oung lady who is sought by irnany.

Davis, Kl’tor Clipper, ftiiens, Georgia, Dear Sir: —Thisls an ideal Aji gusl morning. has risen in [all his glory and is low climbing to ward his zenith, in|tbe meantime he is sending forth his scorching rays i upon the earth as he meant to I swelter us in his Aeat but a gen i tie, kindly breeze Comes to fan us and ! old Sol’s rays are (tempered. Our thoughts naturally I turn homeward and we thought to while away the time in some pleasant'.-occupation, we would write a few lines for the Clip per. For recreating and quietude this is an ideal place, (here one is not to be disturbed ' with t/!ie ever busy hum of the city. On the contrary one can revel in the beauties of nature. Beautiful trees, shady woods, fields of blooming cotton, and growing corn, fresh, sweet, pure air to breathe and Lithia water to to drink! These are the health giving elements of this pleasant and accessi ble summer resort. To keep the thing from being to monotonous one may run to the door about every half hour and see the dummy as she goes steam ing by, '‘niTjing passengers to and from the spring. It also delights us to hear the chu-cluh I chu-club I of the gianp locomotives as they go whirling o’er the rails, carrying their human freight and other oom modi ties. We hail the North bound trains with kt. est delight because they bring messages from loved ones at home! Mrs. Beavers, our hostess, is a most thorough-going si«d practical house i keener. .We hawa got in frcm a stroll through th? ■Jvpwds eud a visit to a spring of cigar free stone wa ter. Mrs. Beavers and 1 lingered awhile to listen to the sweet musical ' sounds of the little babbling brook . as the water trickled over the sands, adown the rocks and through the winding gorges as it wended its way; on to join some larger stream. After | stumbling over stones and busiies and j losing our way, we finally arrived 1 at the house again with our appetite increased fifty per cent. We feel much benefitted from the rest we are having. We hope when I ! we get back home we may look and | | feel as we did in days of health. We attended Divine services yester day, Sunday, at, the Baptist church i j of which Rev. McGuire is pastor. And j we especially enjoyed the Sunday i school. Deacon Lathran is the su perintendent and is very earnest in his work to uplift the young peo ple. Rev. Goss preached a good ser mon at eleven o’clock and the pastor preached at night afterwliich the Lord’s supper was administered. Miss .1. G. Childs is here for a few days before returning to her post of duty. To adviw in advance we would say to these wishing to take a summer out ing during the next season that Lithia Springs is the placet Mrs..LG. Bea vers gives stnckly first class accomo | dati»m.
