hELD AI HAMILTON
The first Quarter ly Conference of
he Hamilton Circuit was held last
Saturday, Feb. 21. Brother Peacock
preached a fine sermon at the eleven
o’clock hour. His sermon was based
on tbe sixth chapter of |Isaiab. and
bis theme dealt with tho need of hu
manity and the hopelessness of its con
dition unless the church answered the
call of God to service.
Dinner was served at the church,
and it did credit to the ladies who
had charge of arranging it. Rev.
Dennis and wife, and Mrs Peacock
of Colunfbua came up to be with us
aud we eiijoyed Laving them visit
with us.
After dinner the business session
of the conference was held All the
churches were represented. Hamil¬
ton and Mountain Hill raised on
ministerial support, Hamilton going
above that ot last year by $150, and
Mountain Hill raisi ng $20 above
that ot lust year.
The spirit of earnestness prevailed
t hrougbout the services, and we are
looking forward to a greater year
than we have ever had. May we be
ready to meet die challenging need
Lbat surrouudH us, aud by following
God’s leadership go forward iu llis
service.
The rain kept many from the ser¬
vices Sunday, but Bro. Peacock
preached as if the house was full, and
tho service was decidedly worth while.
\Y’e were glad to have him with us,
and shall eagerly look forward to his
next visit.

BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES.
Despite the inclement weather Pas¬
tor J. YV. Smith delivered two very
interesting sermons Sunday at the

both Sunday school and church ser¬
vices was small on account of the rain.
We guess it was because Baptists are
so opposed to being sprinkled.

CHAS. KIMBROUGH.
Early Friday morning the news
spread rapidly over town that Charlie
Kimbrough was critically ill no hope
being held out to the living watching
around his bedside and as tho end
was passed trom lip to lip an intense
gloom,a pall of sadness spread over the
town depression so deep that even
the little children spoke of it in
hushed, awed tones, for Charlie was
known and liked by every one hav¬
ing spent the greater part of his life
here. His was a modest, gentle,
kindly nature—a heart that beat in
unison with his fellow man.
Only twenty six years old, yet
feel that in that short span many
good deeds many arts of loving
; ness and tender thoughts for others
have been recorded of him. Ho will
be sorely missed in the home circle, in
the business world, on the streets,
erywhere around this community,
we know that somewhere beyoud
NUMBER 39
azure blue Charlie is waiting and
watching for those he loved so de¬
votedly in this life. The sympathy
of the entire town goes out to the heart¬
broken wife, father, mother, brothers
and sistersand the dear little children,
in this their hour of darkest gloom.
The funeral services were conducted
at the home by his pastor Rev. E. A.
Ware, amidst a large concourse of
of sorrowing loved onas and friends.
