Echoes from the County Sunday
School Convention.
Owing to a lack of space last
week the Gazette’s report of the
County Sunday-School Convention,
held at the Tifton Baptist church,
April 14th and 15th, was altogether
meagre and incomplete.
There were written reports from ten
schools and verbal reports from fif
teen more, repreaenting a Sunday-
school army in Berrien county of
about eighteen hundred. Still the
President reported in the county a
stretch of country, twenty miles
square, with but one school within
its bounds. There is, at the lowest
calculation, three thousand children
in Berrien county who do not attend
Sunday-school, lluro is labor for
Sunday-school workers!
The attendance of delegates upon
the convention was small owing,
doubtless, to tite fact that the back
wardness of spring made it a busy
time with farmers, and people from
tho country could not attend. The
schools at Bcthesda, Alapaha, Nash
ville, Sparks, Poplar Head, Staunton,
Pine Level ami Tifton were rep
resented.
Tho young lady delegates were
Misses Elliott and Emma Fulwood,
of Alapaha and Misses Beckwith,
Sinealh, Ella Goodman, Missouri
McCranie and two others whose
names we disremumher, of Sparks.
The people of Tifton were much
pleased wish the exercises of the con
vention, wore delighted with all the
addresses, and the convention will
have no trouble in future to find a
place to hold its sessions. They were
especially pleased with Elder P. II.
Murray’s sermon on Sunday.
There was one tiling, however,
that marred tho pleasures of the con
vention—the tardiness with which
tho people turned out to the services.
This is a fault of witiclt our people
are guilty every Sunday and they
should make a strong effort to cor
rect it.
The next session, semi-annual, will
lie held in tite Baptist church at
Nashville, beginning on Saturday be
fore tho tite third Sunday in October.
It is hoped there will he a much lar
ger attendance of delegates than ever
before. It is near tho contra of the
county and will afford equal oppor
tunity and facility for reaching the
convention. Let’s see if the Sunday-
school workers of Berrien are will
ing to make any sacrifices for the
glory of God and the best interests
of the children of the county.

Home Hookers’ Excursions.
The Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad, with its accustomed liber
ality and with a laudable desire to
benefit not only themselves and the
country traversed by its lines but al
so people of the North and West
who are seeking homes in a more
genial climate and n country with
boundless agricultural and horticult
ural resources, lias inaugurated a series
of monthly home seekers’ excursions
for the remainder of the year 1804
The dates of these excursions arc
May 8th, June 5th, July 5th, Au
gust 7th, September 4lh, October 2d,
November Oth and Dccernlx!!' 4th.
The cost is otto fare for the round
trip and tickets ?ood for twenty
days from tlm date of sale. Stop
overs will lie allowed at all points on
the Georgia Souihoru and Florida
railroad and every opportunity af
forded to thoroughly inspect the
count* y.
In this do,inaction a fact'worthy
of mention is that while tho severe
freeze of Marclt 20th, destroyed the
fruit in almost every section of the
United States, that of south Georgia
••scaped and, there w ill bo at full crop
of peaches, crapes and melons. This
statement will be demonstrated to be
true at a “Midsummer Fair” to be
held at Tifton, Ga., on Tuesday July
10th. At this Fa’r will he exhibited
peaches, grapes, pears, melons, ami a
great variety of vegetables, grains
and other products of the adjacent
country.
These excursions will afford home
seekers’ a most favorable opportu
nity to see and investigate the merits
of a country ttow conceded to be tho
best in the South for truck farming
and fruit growing. People who de
sire to engage in these industries
should, by all means, take advantage
of them.

TALK UP YOUR TOWN.
Kodflity Should Not Prevent Its Good
Points Front Heins Known.
If you live in town, yon should be
lieve in it. It you don’t believe your
own town or city is a little ttetter in
most respects titan any of its neigh
bors, you should move. out. Like
other places, it has advantages that
others havo not, and your modesty
should not prevent you from making
that fact known whenever tho oppor
tunity presents itself. At home or
abroad, whether persheing pleasure
or engaged in business, do not neg
lect to give those with whom you
come in contact to understand that
you live in a live town populated by
enterprising, go ahead, progressive
people and one that is advancing in-
stead of retrograding, If you can
truthfully speak in commendation of
the ability of your professional men,
the square dealing methods of your
merchants, the superiority of your
ehttrehes, schools mid public institu
tions and the industry, energy nnd
sobriety of your citizens gr yorullyjet
nothing prevent you from exercising
that privilege. You should learn to
believe, if you do not already, that
we have all those nnd in addition the
handsomest women, the best located
town, tho finest country surrounding
tt, with the most fertile farms, tilled
by the most intelligent class of farm
ers to lie found in tlie United States.
If there are any drawbacks, it will
not he necessary to mention them.
Tho people and newspapers of com
peting towns will relieve yon of that
task by attending to that, part of it
themselves. Strangers seeking a lo
cation aro always greatly influenced
in favor of any plnre whose citizens
are enthusiastic in its praise. No
city or town can expect to attain
prominence over its rivals unless its
inhabitants appreciate the excellence
and virtues of each other nnd will
collectively spread abroad their f*itli
in thu present prosperity and future
greatness ot their own locality. Talk
is a cheap commodity, lint when
rightly utilized it can lie made effect
ive in many directions, and this is one
of them.
