The Baptist Churches, Composing the Columbus Association, in Annu¬ al Convention. From Our Special Correspondent. The Columbus Baptist Associa r tion convened with Bethel church, in Muscogee county Leaving Chipley Tuesday morning I was impressed with the iuea that a trip over the Georgia Midland would enhance the pleasure of my trip. Therefore, the young vocalist, C. W. H., who ac companied me, turned the head his steed in the direction of Shiloh. VVe intersected the mountainous road leading to the Valley at King’s Gap, opened up by enterprising citizens Chipley, and along which only the gray squirrel skips,the audacious fox a burrowing place finds,and the screech owl a sate retreat. Along this route for several miles the eye finds ing to rest upon except the work nature’s God—the calm blue sky above the distant expanse, gigantic oaks, rippling streams, and giant rocks, as innumerable as the sands of the sea shore. Th* journey was made without anything of special in terest transpiring, and ere we reach ed the place of our destination the sun was casting his gentler rays over and around DowdeU’s Peak, a sira pie and wonderful reminder of Him who created the world in six days and saw that it was good, and good. Arriving at Shiloh we had time to survey this enterprising little hamlet on the Midland. Here found old and new friends who 1 our stay pleasant and exhilarating. Especially are we indebted to the bounded hospitality ot our friend, Dixie Harris, who is vedly popular, enjoying his share the trade centering here. Wednesday I boarded the shortly after 10 o’clock, with quite I number of other delegates | friends. Meeting with an ex leyite, Mr. T. G., time | swiftly. Rapidly we passed mile posti and stations—Waverly Ellerslie, Midland, Flat Rock. All these places bore traces of a and industrious people, happy and contented. Arriving at the last named station, a walk of 200 yards brought us the delightful shades surrounding Bethel church. Here the Trom the various churches throughout j Harris, Talbot, Muscogee, Meriweth . er, Stewart and Chattahoochee ccun ties had assembled, with quite a number besides. The inlioductory i sermon was being preached by Dr. J. S. Searcy, which was interesting and instructive.

It is perhaps unnecessary to state that sixteen basket-fulls—not fragments—were taken up after all had bountifully partaken of this de licious repast. It was my good fortune, along with other delegates, to fall into the hands of that wholesouled and dating gentleman, Mr. J. M. and his excellent lady, who spared no pains to make our stay delightful ly pleasant. Without going into details, this session was harmonious throughout, much good being accomplished. Having an opportunity presented to return by private conveyance with a one legged delegate, I decided he could make no better time than 1, a two legged delegate, so I accepted, and we amicably pursued our way to gether, passing through over the mountain, home again. Long will we with grateful memory remember Bethel—house of and Bethel’s. B. F. H. Chipley, Sept. 29, ’87.
