The IWinisters and Deacon’s
Meeting of the Central Associa-
t ion convened with Elini church
last Fgidoy niorning and coutin-
u‘d through Sunday.
Wlille the attsuda lice from the
various ebbrehes over tho
ciation was small, those who did
come were imbued with the Spirit
*pd tutored into the meeting with
a determination to get and do
good. That they succeeded was
seen and felt by all present.
The talks upon the various sub-
jects wrere thoughtful, helpful
and instructive, while the ser-
mons were sweet, uplifting and
inspiring, and many who were
present—both obristian and non
Christian—have been heard to ex-
press themselves as determined
to lead a better life. Especially

from a gloii nis revival at his
' church, at the close of which he
baptized twenty-five happy souls,
and was therefore peculiarly fitted
to encourage, comfort and
strengthen beli v n, and convince
the sinner that it was indeed
worth while to be a Christian.
Rev
Moreau county, preached the in¬
troductory sermon Friday morn¬
ing. His discourse was not only
appropriate, but exceedingly'
helpful as he admonished all to
open their hearts fully to the in
fluences of the Holy Spirit and
surrender themselves completely
to the Master's work. That he
^ Aslftiaelt has doae so is evidenced
J by his walk and work. He' is «
young man that is destined to
grow to large proportions and
great usefulness in the avocation
whereunto he has been called.
Rev K R Pendleton, of Monti-
cello, filled the pulpit on Satur¬
day- Ilia sermon was also notedfo r
its appropriateness—following a
discussion of the query, “What to
do with disorderly members. ” It
vh apparent to all that ho had
given the subject considerable
thought, and lie not only inter-
-■•ekted his audience, but every one
was benefited and instructed. He
has but recently come into, tins
association and was’thorefore n
stranger to our people 'and we to
him, but these conditions no
longer remain, Ho made a very
favorable impression upon our
people who will at any lime do-
light to welcome him in our
midst, MoutjoeMo church is iu-
deed fortunate in securing him os
pastor and tbs town is helped in
securing such citizens,
Rev J E Pounds, of I.omst
Grove, preecbed on Sunday after¬
noon. He has doqs much work
iu ibis association and bis repu¬
tation •« a worker and builder
bad preoeeded him- He is a
strong, untiling and fearless
worker and delights in building
up tb« waste and destitute places,
His sermon on this occasion was
Well received.

hoa attended every meeting of
AMOcifttiop for tbo pastforty
r *r$ t Ho is well known
tjand his —r Wfc
presence it always an
inspiration and benediction. The
life of such a man is worthy of
'
emulation, and should call forth
the admiration of all who Jovcj

be answered that lie may liv«
to«i.e the anniversary of Ins
church in 1909.
Another prominent visitor at
the meeting was Rev A M Mar-
.h.ll, of r.,u»m. . 1,0
i» better known m these parts
than nnv of the above ment ioned.
During the war between the states
he was chaplain of tho 12th
Georgia regiment, in which 01
ganization was to be found many
Jones county citizens, some of
whom are in Ijfe to-day, and who
would deem it quite a privilege *o
ride many miles to hear their old
comrade in arms and spiritual ad-
v iser break again to them the
bread cf life. During these four
years of struggle none were more
courageous or faithful than lie in
defense of home and country, and
during all these latter years no
one lias been more earnest, zeal*
0 us or efficient as a soldier of the
cross, //is years have been full
of service, and while far on the
,| 10( iy side of life, he still deems
it a pleasure and privilege to tell
the sw eet old story of Jesus and
his love.
fhis Klcm meeting will be long
remembered as one fraught w ith
many blessings and each member
of this church has a heart full of
jrratitude to Bro Sammons for
bringing these heralds of the cross
, llto our midst. Right loyally
did the good people of the com-
nninity do their part in looking
after the temporal needs of their
visitors, and a rising voto of
thanks attested (heir hearty ap-
preciation of same. May the
good work done be permeating
and abiding.

aUo whether or not tlie old conit
house in Clinton should he abai -
doned and a now county site eg- (
tablished on theroalroad at
u, of *onrs<>, well known.
/n tho meantime tins old crack*
ed, warped has stood and insufficient apology struc- lor j
ture as an
a temple of justice. During thego
years many things have been said
of this old pile of brick by law-
yers, judges and many other visi-
tors to our county site, that w as
calculated to bring a blush to the
cheek of every enterprising, am-
bilious citizen.
The last grand jury of our
county recommended that the
commissioners build a new house.
Thinking perhaps these officers
would honor that r.,conunendu-
tion, those who are interested in
building near the railroad have
placed in circulation petitions for
signatures asking the Ordinary to
order an election upon the pro-
posed change of site. These peti-
tions w ill soon be turned over to
the Ordinary and an election or-
dered.
It is not the purpose of this nr-
tide to go into detail setting forth
the many reasons which the
change should be made these
will come later—but rather to in-
form the people that an opportu-
nity will soon be offered them to
express tehmselves in this impor-
taut matter. There is no politics
in the question and the campaign
should be one of information,
All sentiment and personalities
should be set aside, and we should
honestly endeavor to find ’.vliat is
the best interest of the county,
and then act accordingly.
A court ho„.e, of ct.ur.o
cost money, and the subject of
taxation will cause many brows
to knit, but realizing that there
are many erroneous and extravi-
gaut ideas along this line, we
propose in our next issue to give
you the figures from the tax di-
gest unci the additional cost to
every tax payer. When this is
dene what now appears to be a
mountain m some eyes will dis-
solve into a mule hill.
As a source of information we.
of course, open these columns for
a freo discussion to both sides of
the question.

The battls (lugs around which!
the bravo men of the Smith gatl.-
ere( j m a f our year’s conflict with
the brave men of the North, but
which for forty years have been
in tho hands of the nation, are
now being returned to those who
fought under them, that they and
their children may rejoice through
this token that, the sectional bit-
terness is no more.
It is forty years now, or will he
V( . r y goon, since tho civil war
At its close tho two sec-
tions of a once united country
looked upon each other with a
hatred and bitterness that prom-
j B ed to be undying. In thp South
this hatred and bitter.iess was to
be expected. But when men like
H or0 ce Greely'and Charles Sum-
mcr tried to bring about kindlier
feelings in the North towarn those
who had once been friends, but
later became foes, the war spirit
turned against them and behaved
toward them as though they had
been traitors instead of the nobh
patriots they were. Greely found
himself assailed with every weap-
on that malicious ingenuity could
devise, and.it may be said that life
died of a broken heart. Summer
who hud proposed tho return of
the battle flags to the South, war-
censured by a vote of the Massa-
chusetts legislature, and he did
not live long after that.
But times have changed. What
the nation refused to ion the
doy , Grwly «i,d Summer, »lmt
,t had refused to do during the
days of Grover Cleveland’s ad-
ministrations, it lias now dobe.
The vote to return the battle flags
was a unanimous voto m both
bouses of congress. The return
uf tjiese battle flags will heal
every wound caused by the war.
Theje will be no more bitterness,
n0 more sectional hatred. North
all( j y 0 utli are reunited in fact as
n„me. Future liattlev,
ghmild battles i.o necessary
will be fought not against 01 e
another, but shotildor to should-r
against h a foreign foe. 'In tie
comicels of the nation both ... -Ti ... e
Northern patriot and th the „ Soutl q n . lt i
ern patriot must unite for ‘the
purpose of making our com-
inoii country great and glorious.
Mutters of policy,__ex pend iei icy
and principle shall be decided by
the men of all sections. And in
this rotura to an^era of good feel-
wlien men from the North
and men from the South may
do stand on common ground, all
mon will rejoice.
■v- satisfac¬
The largest nnd irest
tory reward that could come to
parents is to see their children
come up to noble manhood and
womanhood. This reward cannot
come if they are not hedged about
with pure and happy influences.
If all tliier best thoughts and
energies are given to decorating
their bodies, and giving thim, in
popular parlance, “a good time,”
instead of instilling into tin m
sterling principles and beautify¬
ing their minds and hearts, wl at
can the parents expect to reap.
The carotul training of your child
in the paths of honeoty and
truthfulness: with a broad and
unselfish view of life is stlte best
paying investment. It results in
a large, steady and increasing in-
coin e, and what you most need
when you begin your
down hill and need to
l‘‘an on them. This great work
of the best work and thought
than it does ”
