The Mulberry street Jtothodig t parsonage in Macon caught on fire last Sunday at 8:30 a. m. and but for the timely aid of the fire de partment would have been destroy - ed. Tho “candy-pull” at the hospita ble home of Dr. Geo. T. Purseley l&st Friday night was an Enjoyable affair. The Headlight didn’t “sample’ the ca: iy, but those who did pronounced it splendid.

We are willing t<> help all laudable enterprises, but E, Macon must next time sign name. Tho visit of the Clinton favorite.

ROUND OAK RATTLE. Deyr Headlight —We have a in Clinton, whose name we not give, tis not John’s son somebody’s daughter Her de we will give—of 1-ss than a Singleton, with more a Chiles experience, a good though not acknowledg the infallibility of tho Pope, a most excellent appetite, Pursley as a dressing for shad or any of the Finney tribe, she Cook a Turk(ey) but has never learned the Stew-art, When her weight, experience, piety, ap and other accomplishments brought to Barron a man, be he so Hardeman to conquer, bo must soonov or later yield, or cry Hol(d)sen(d)back and Hunt for help, if I am struck by cupid’s darts and become entangled in the bonds of matrimony my troubles will only end in the Greuves cheerless gloom. ’Pun honor we will try something else now. Rov. Ellison R. Cook preached a tip top sermon at Round Oak church last Sunday on the parable of “The Great Supper.” His text was “I pray thoo have mo exused” and the subject was “Excuses,” We havent bought a “piece of land” nor “five yoke of oxen” neither have we “married a wife,” hut we must needs go to gee our best g'it9f and must pray tlm excuse as some times. Besides tho preacher gaid “there certainly was no harm in a mans getting married provided ho could find anybody to have him.” The sermon was serious and calcu lated to sot a man to thinking, but this little “proviso” touched our “risibilities” and a small smile slid down our sleeve. Round Oak and vicinity was bad ly afflicted last week with two shows at the same time. One a sort of cross between a circus arid “skin tho-cat” show, wiih “punch and judy” flung in. The other a sort of picture book, with a murderous assault on grammar by the profes sor, It was advertised as a “Magic Lantern Show.” Mr. Seab Glawgon’s hands are gradually healing up from the effects o- the burns received while out the burning dress of fiis wife some time ago. Mr. Henry Hunt returned from Sunny Side a few days ago. Wo Were all glad to sec him. He is on a visit to his sister, Mrg. Dr. Gar land, at present. Mr. C. T. Turk made a flying vis it to Round Oak Saturday, return ing Sunday morning. The troublesome “fill” on the C. & M. R. R. near Madison has been cut and a pond of water cov ering two acres of ground let off. and all trains are now running on their regular schedule. A through freight has been put on the road, and the thing runs by like some thing was after it.’. One or two “now men’ passed up the road 8 few days since on the way freight, taking dots, preparatory to taking charge of another train, soon to be put on the road, We hope the uext train that goes on will be a passen ger, running from Athens to Ma con and back in a day. The farmers are busy gardening, bedding potatoes, planting (big) cane and corn. Go slow, gentlemen, when ye begin to plant cotton. Mr. Bob. Cheek is soliciting names to a petition to get r “Star route” from Round Oak to Halfacro. “J.” LETTER FROM JONES COUNTY By Rev. E. R. Cook. Wo copy the folio ving good let ter from (ho Griffin “Farmer and Fruit Grower.” It will interest many of our readers. “I was sent by the Bishop at the last Annual Conference to the Clin ton circuit which embraces six churches in Jones county, I live 'll Clinton, have a pleasant homo and am delighted with my work. The people are hospitable and kind and give substantial evidences of their appreciation of my services. I re turned from one of mv appoint ments last Monday with my buggy loaded down with supplies raised by Jones County Alliance. I had giv en to me on that trip, 3 fine country hams, 50 pounds home-made lard, 5 pounds po rk sausage, 1 bushel po tatoes, J bushel rata bagas, 1 gallon ribbon cane syrup, 2 jars preserves, 1 jar pickles and 2 glasses jolly. A great many of the Jones county furmors live at home, and conse quently no preacher ever suffered on the Clinton circuit. When all the farmers in Georgia begin to live at homo, not only the preachers, but every body else will faro well. The Alliance has a strong hold in Jones, and is doing here, as every where else, a grand work. It lias been my pleasure to meet with the brethren several times. They are taking hold with a purpose to do something, and they are doing much, Jones county is strictly an agri cultural county. There are no towns of any size, consequently no manufacturing interests. There aro but few merchants and most of them farm in connection with their busi ness. Macon ig only twelve miles from Clinton, the county seat, and furnishes an exceljent market for farm produce. Several of the sub Alliances have passed resolutions prohibiting any member from “go ing to town” without something to soli. No matter if its but a dozen eggs it must be something. There will be very little guano used, com paratively speaking, in tin* county this year. The Round Oak Alliance has forty or moro members, some big farmers among them, and not a man will use a single pound of com mercial fertilizers. Thats the plan ! Let mo ie'l you some things I have seen since I becamo a Jones county man, I have Feen more country hams in two months than I saw in bpalding in two years, I have seen bigger piles of barn yard ma nure and more of them than I ever saw in my life. I’ve seen more rail fences in one district than there is in all of Spalding county. This is a no f eDCe county> but the farmers keop up their fences just the same. I’ve seep some fine wheat patches and lot* of ’em! I’ve seen an acre of Georgia collurds. I’ve seen from 0 D 8 to half dozen colts in nearly every lot, and I've seen a great many other thiDgs which indicate that tho Jones county farmers are on the up grade,” SUNDAY SCHOOL EVANGE LISM IN GEORGIA, OR Gather the Children into Bible * Schools 1 0) TriE AMERICAN SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION! Is now seeking to gather the Child ren, not already eared for, into Suday-schoals. It doe? not wish to interfere with any of the churches’ work, but ra ther to stimulate it IT’S WORK IS 1st. To organize a Sunday-school in every community where there is none. 2nd. To publish and circulate moral and religious literature in ev ery part of our land, of such a high tone and character that can give reasonable offence to none. 3rd. To uesiat in the improve ment of existing schools, by the sale, and grautg if needy, of books, papers and all other Sunday-school supplies. 4th To donate Bibles and Teste mantsin all needy cases, whether to churohes, Sunday-schools or to individuals. Points to be remembered about the American Sunday schools union work. 1st. This great National Society was the pioneer society in organiz ing Sunday schools and in furnish ing moral and religious reading for the children aud youth of our coun try. 2nd. It aims to unite all age peo ple in the study of the word of God and especially to reach all uureach ed by the ordinary church agencies, aud to lead them all to follow Je sus. 3rd. It docs not wish to influence any in their church relations but it aims to bring all to a knowledge of Christ through the study of the Bi ble. 4th. It does not wish or desire to have the control or management of any Sunday sohool, but leaves it entirely in the hands of its members to choose the government by them deemed best. It only seeks to unite all the people in the study of Go d s word. 5th. It seeks to stimulate Sunday school work in any way it can, by assisting all the needy schools, by visiting and donating Bibles, Testa* ments, books papers and and all other Mundity-school supplies. This Work is Acceptable, Hopeful Efficient, Fruitful, Enduring, Eco nomical, And never more needful than now, a* there are still more than three hundred thousand children in Georgia not eniolled, but outside of Sunday-schools. We must bring them in. As the agent of this society for Goorgia, I shall be pleased to visit any community in the State and will be glad to assist m organizing a Sur.day-school or improving old ones and if needy giving them a grant of Bibles, Testaments, books, papers or any other Sunday-school supplies If any such schoo or place is known to you please write to me about it at once. For Christ and His cause, for the Bible and the Sabbath, for our laws, our libra riea and our country, let us gather into Sunday-schools the children in Georgia, Remember Jesus said “Feed mv lambs 1 ” Yours truly in this work for the Master and IIis litto ones.
