NOVEMBER 11,1909 OLD POLKS ENJOY * Ail-Day Singing at Baptist Churth and Revel in Memories of Long Ago. Last Sunday was a red letter day for many people in and around Winder, because the old folks had an all-day singing which revealed a vast cloud of precious memories of the days that are past and gone. Men and women lived over the hal cyan days of their youth, when, mounted on their horses they rode merrily ten, twenty and thirty miles away to the singing school that was being taught by K. F. White, E. .1. King, Leonard P. Breedlove, Singing Billy Walker and some others of the worthies of that day who wrote and taught the music that cheered and encouraged people in their warfare in their life. Many last Sunday were again at the old church where the school was being taught fifty or sixty years ago. They saw the bright, faces of their friends of that day, who now sleep in the dead or are carrying the weight of many years ’as they journey along the last stages of their earthly pilgrimage. Blessed memories, happy days of yore, precious and beloved friends of the distant past, through the long vista of nearly three score years, we greet you, living or dead, and say that your mcmeory to us will he pre cious forevermore. , The meeting last Sunday was l called to order by our friend and townsman, Brother Seymour, who opened the exercises with one of the good ol(J songs of the Sacred Harp, the book that was used dur ing the exercises of the day. Mr. Blasingame spoke words of welcome, and prayer was offered by Rev. Griswald. Then the singing began in good earnest, led by Messrs. Ethridge, Harrison, Dalton, Sey mour and others. Before adjourn ment for dinner Mr. Seymour made an address in which he extolled the music of the Sacred Harp, and showed under what hard conditions our fathers and grandfathers and friends of that age served the Lord, yet did their part worthy and well, and that we should preserve the music which was their means of expressing their devotion to God and His cause as a memorial of them and their work. After dinner the singing was re sumed, being led by Messrs. Har rison, Cheek, Hillman Jackson, Jesse B. Lyle and others, and the j day s singing closed with the old favorite of our fathers, “The Dart ing Hand.” It was a day of much enjoyment to all, and the singing was quite good and brought tears to eyes un used to weep. May all who joined in this delightful exercise of wor ship live long and attend many such meetings in the future years. The brethren all enjoyed them selves, and carried away pleasing memories.of the day, and expressed hearty thanks to the Baptists of Winder for the use of their house of worship. WANTED.

Madam Ellis A Cos., who are fill ing an engagement at the Lyric this week, are presenting the most unique and novel exhibition that has ever been seen in Winder. A woman is blindfolded securely on the stage while her assistant passes through the audience, the instant her assistant is shown an article the lady on the stage calls out exactly what it is, and describes numerous articles with a rapidity, and accuracy that is amazing to behold. She reads names and ad dresses, numbers that run into the millions, and answers questions in a way that is convincing to the most skeptical. The other members of the com pany are as good in their lines as the mindreader is in her’s, making all in all a show that is highly en tertaining and worth double the price that the courteous manage ment charges for admission. GEORGIA CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY Convention of Christian Church Closes Best Session Friday Morning. The Georgia Christian Missionary convention of the Christian Churches closed one of th* liest ses sions last Friday morning. The meeting was held in the Christian church here. The delegates were cared for by the good people of Winder, and entertained in a man ner that is always accredited to this place. There were some three hundred delegates and visitors in attendance. Among these were seven mission aries from foreign fields, and seven speakers from other states. The leading addresses were as follows: Educational —J. C. (’aid well, North Carolina; W. C Pierce, Tennessee; Mr. Donaldson, Ken tucky; 11. B. Robinson, Texas. Missionary —Fred E. Hagan, Ja pan; W. J. Wright, Ohio; 11. K. Pendleton, Georgia; Mrs. Ford. South America; E. W. Pease, Nor way; Mr. Eliott, Florida. Benev olence —J. H. Mohortor, Missouri- C. W. B. M —Mrs. L. M. Omer, Georgia; Mrs. J. 11. Wood, Geor gia. W. S. G. M.—Miss Mabel Langford, Georgia; Mrs. B- O. Mil ler, Georgia. C. E. —Mrs. Jasper Bell? Georgia- S. S, —Marion Stevenson, National Superintend ent, Missouri. Enthusiasm ran high and a spirit of brotherly love prevailed through out all the sessions. There was contributed by churches and dele gates for the various causes over $4,100.00. This was in cash and pledges. The convention made ar rangements for three permanent scholarships in the Bible College at Kimberlin Heights, Tenn., which will place three men in Georgia fields every year for all time to come. The delegates were unanimous in praising Winder, went away happy and we were truly glad to have them in our midst. “IELL YOUR WILE." Local talent held the boards at the Lyric Monday night, and of course proved a good drawing card, as the popularity of the individual participants always presages a suc cess. If the cheering counted for any thing, then ♦■lie audience was elated for the players individually and collectively, received round after round of applause. We are of the opinion that “Tell Your Wife” is a poor plav, and think the command contained in the title poorer policy. We are ;t4l proud of Winder’s brass hand, and any old play is all right that helps the l>oys along. It a few short months the hoys composing this hand have rounded into good musicians and compare favorably with the best hands of the state. The playing of the string [hand, which funished the music in the opera house, was delight, and Win der is justly proud of them. Individually the members of the east acquitted themselves splendidly, and the acting of J. J- Wilson deserves special mention. Quite a neat sum was realized for the band by the presentation of “Tell Your Wife.” ENTHUSIASTIC CROWS WATCH RUN. Winder Car Rolls In the Speedway at the Wheels of Pacemaker.

Dr. IL M. Fullilove, of Athens, was pacemaker, and of course was cheeked in first. Right at his wheels was W. L. Jackson, Hying the colors of the First National Bank of Winder and J. E. Darby of Beth lehem driving E. M. F. ears. These cars lielonged in class B, but made the trip to Atlanta in three hours and twenty minutes, having passed •ill the ears in class A- Neither one of these gentlemen left their seats during the entire trip and their ears rolled into the Club House in perfect condition. All the Winder entries with the exception of Homer Smith, who had his wheel smashed, made the trip in the time allowed in good shape and all are jubilant over the success of t he trip. “THE SHOW GIRL.” The presentation of “The Show- Girl” at the Lyric Saturday seemed to strike a responsive chord in the hearts of those present, and encore after encore was given the individ ual players. There is no plot, to the play, but a wide range for music, fun and frollic. The danc ing was a Rive the average, the songs good and the jokes passable. The girls were pretty and the en thusiasm of the audience demon strative. The audience was large and went away well pleased with the evening’s entersainrnent. DEATH 0L MRS. W. E. OXEORD. Mrs. W. E.
