The camp meeting for 1913 be gan under favorable auspices, a nice shower falling from 7 to 8 p. m. The preaching was up to the standard; the music, perhaps the best we ever had. The crowds were good, immense on the second Sunday, At the first service there were near 500 persons present. The order was good indeed, when we consider the great crowds. If any of you failed to go, you are the loser—don’t miss the next one. The Sunday school is anew feature, but a good one. It was conducted by competent teachers— R, F. Burden, cf Macon; Dr. J.W. Beason and others gave some fine talks. One other good thing, they are giving more attention to the children and young people. One service a day for them next year. The colored people are not for gotten nor neglected. Two ser vices, one each Sabbath, were giv en the convicts. This is as it should be, poor creatures. Glad you thought about it. Where would most of us be but for the grace of God? As to the results i suppose there were 50 people or more definitely blessed and helped. There were people there from eight or ten different states. The Love Feast Sunday morning was a great occasion, not less than 100 testi fying to the saving, keeping power 1 of their Savior. John B. Culpepper, the great evangelist, was present and gave two of his characteristic talks. W.D. Upshaw, “Earnest Willie,” was wiih us for the first time. He said if what he heard and saw was a sample, these folks were not a set of fanatics, but were level-headed and pure-hearted. John Callahan, from the “Bow ery Mission,” New York, gave us a thrilling message. The annual collection was near $2,500 cheerfully given. ’ Workers for 1914 are Dr. K. F. I Walker and Charley Dunnaway. The Indian Spring Holiness Camp Meeting has come to stay. J. S. Lewis. FOLK REJ m. ! Mr. J. II McKibbeu had a family ' reunion Sunday, which brought together every member of the fam ily and each one enjoyed the occas ion very much. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. T. N.

McKibben and i Margaret McKibben. They all took a trip to Atlanta Monday. JACKSON. BUTTS COUNTY, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 22. 1913 MERCHANTS LOOKING FOR GOOD FULL TRADE. Local trade has been fairly quiet for the past several weeks, all waiting for the cotton picking and selling season. During court week there has been an increase of visitorsacd trade, which basmark ed the post week as good. Several merchants have had buy ers in eastern markets, preparing to put in some of finest lines of goods ever found in a small city. Good prices for the staple will be offered and there is no doubt but that trade will bebenefitted by it. For several seasons Jackson has had the rep utation of being the best market in this section and for that reason has had good trade. Indicatfons point to a good crop despite rumors to the contrary in the early port of the season. Upon inquiry, a large number of farmers have fine looking crops with pros pects of healthy fruit. These art most encouraging and far betterthat was first anticipated. Another fact that is interesting to learn is that the corn crop will be larger than any heretofore. Qthei crops than cotton are more in evi deuce which is the proof of thi succeSs of variety crops. Reports have reached this section that a better price than was at firs’ expected will be gotten for the Staple owing to long drouths in the western cotton states. At first, ii was thought that a larger crop would be made, the price low and poor crops tn Georgia. But this isn’t true. Georgia has an average crop with Texas and Mississppi unde: average, which would make a total average crop, prices being higher. This spells prpsperity for our sec tion. There is no surer indication of what|the people really expect than that the merchants are buyiuj. heavily. It only remains for fathei time and good weather to begin tunning the wheels of trade, for the when cotton comes in trade certauly will be brisk.

McCord is doing some great preaching and our people are standing nobly by him and by the church in all its interests, I’ve never known any evangelist who stands by the pastor in all the work of church more nobly than does Brother McCord. He is a loyal and true Methodist, he is John Wesley in doctrine, John Baptist in moral courage and John Knox in faith. Four of our very finest young men have answered the call to preach. Our meeting at Mt. Zion begins Friday night the 15th, to run through the 4th Sunday. All are invited to attend. Youis sincerely, G. M. Spivey, P. C. —Crenshaw Cos. Ala. News. THE BEST PAIN KILLER.

A plate glass front will he put in as ->oon as the brick work i fin isher! - The change will affect the door, and hereafter it will he a front entrance instead of a corner enfranee. It is thought that the work will be completed in the course of two weeks. This will add to the appearance of the building and make it one of the most modern fronts in the city. Mr. J. Arenson occupies the lower floor, while the sec*, mid is occupied by offices. The work will not interfere with any business or office. V Spiritual Force the Stronger.

Beat Advertieiag Medium In Middle (Jeorgia GREAT INTEREST SHOWN IN LIVE STOCK MEETING. The Live Stock assocation meet ing which was held on Wednesday was quite a success, not quite as large a number was present as anticipated, but what was lacking in this respect was made up in enthusiasm and spirit. Scarely had Dr. Cogdell, Southern Railway vet erinarian begun his speech before numerous inquiries from the audi ence were being made. Dr. Cogdell showed where that industry could be made successful and profitable in Hutts county and money would flow into this section if the people would adopt modern methods and facts in cattle raising. The subject of tick eradication was dealt with and it was shown that, if the tick would be eradicated as advised better prices could be gotten for cattle. Sheriff Crawford stated that be had just built a pit and intended to eradicate them from his stock. Dr. Cogdell promised him that he would be present with him at his fafm and show him exactly how it was done and how to make the necessary flind preventative into which todiptliem. Numerous booklets were given away on subjects of cattle rais ing. These dealt with tick erad ication,feeding and management of beef cattle, and hog cholera and the serum preventative. 'There will be another meeting of this association tobeheld Saturday, Aug 30, at the court house- Dr. Cogdell will be present and will bring more literature and have a longer time in which to speak. After the speech there will be a business meeting and plans for the next year will be laid. When the meeting adjourns, Dr. Cogdell will accompany Sheriff Crawford to his farm where he will show him the practical details of tick eradication. All are riqerested to be present both at the meeting at the court house at Sheriff Crawford’s farm. Come, bring your neighbor along and be prepared to learn something about the south’s growing industry, stock and cattle raising. AII6USI TERM SUPERIOR COURT IN SESSION.
