Sunday-School Convention at
Adel,
Tho annual meeting of the Twenty-
seventh District Sunday-School As
sociation was held at Adel last Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday.
The weather was pleasant and the
attendance of delegates from the
counties composing the district—
Berrien, Lowndes, Echols, Clinch,
Coffee, Wure, Charlton and Pierce—
very good. The Tifton schools were
represented by J. G. Padrick and B.
T. Allen.
The program that hud been ar
ranged was carried out very nearly to
the letter. The services were all in
teresting.
The business session was held Satur
day night C. C. Buuhunan, of
Waycross, was chosen president for
the ensuing year, and D. B. Sweat
secretary. About $65 in cush and
pledges were contributed to the State
and District work.
Sunday was the red-letter day. The
large and commodious Methodist
church at Adel whs crowded to its ut
most capacity at every session. Ad
dresses were delivered by B. T. Allen,
J. 0. Varnedoe, C. 0. Buchanan and
A. W. Bealer. Those of Mesurs.
Varnedoe aud Bealer were especially
good. Col. Varnedoe spoke of the
relation of the Sunday-school to the
home and church, and thoroughly
exploded the idea that the Sunday-
school is ouly a moral institution und
in no way connected with the church
—it is the church engaged in its
work of evangelizing the world.
Mr. Bealer spoke, in the afternoon, of
the “girls of the Bible,” und at night,
on the subject “Despise not the duy
of email things.” Both addresses
were well conceived and delivered In
his happiest vein, and the large con
gregations wore delighted.
The question of dividing the large
district into two smaller ones was
discussed and it was thought advisa
ble to leave the question of next
place of meeting for decision until
after the Stute Convention in Suvun-
y
The hi ,
Adel was unbounded on this occa
sion, and it was acknowledged by
the convention at the close of Sun
day night’s services by the unani
mous adoption of sujtable resolutions.

Help Mother.
Tho following timely paragraph is
from tho pen of a correspondent of
the Blukely Observer:
“We here enter a plea for the many
mothers grown old, faded and feeble
before their time. Is it becuusc their
boys und girls are not thoughtfully
considerate and helpful enough ?
When they become old enough to be
of service in a household mother has
become so accustomed to doing all
herself, to taking upon her shoulders
in "
nil the cures that she forgets to lay
off the burdenB, little by little, on the
shoulders so well able to bear them
It is partly her fault, to he sure, but
It con
a fault committed out of love and
mistaken kindness for her children
Although it has been years since our
mother passed oyer the river, yet the
little remark slio sometimes made to
a wayward boy, “You will miss me
when I am gone,” impresses itself
more and more as euch jear rolls by.
Help mother—it will be of niuttiul
benefit anil pleasure, and it will be a
sweet remembrance in days to come.”

Senoiu, Ga., is visiting in Tifton, the

The Gazette is pleased to sec that
the official paper of Berrien county is
not filled up with tax sale advertise
ments ns arc many of our exchanges.
We don’t know, however, whether to
attribute this good sign of the conn
ty’s prosperity to the faithfulness of
tax payers or the leniency of the Tax
Collector.

From the Brunswick TimpH-Advprtjscr.
The New England Grocer pub
lishes a long interview with Mr. \V.
L. W, Bherman, a large Boston peach
dealer, which gives an interesting
stery of fruit culture in South Geor
gia. Mr. Sherman estimates the to
la! export of peaches from Georgia
this year at twenty-five hundred car
loads. To get an idea of wlmt this
means, the total cost ot transporting
these cars will be somewhere in the
neighborhood of #500,000. Here is
what Mr. Sherman says of a South
Georgia jieacli farm :
'■About twenty years ago Mr. II. II.
Tift movod from Mystic, Conn., Into
South Georgia, at a point now known aa
Tifton, hut which was then an almost
unbroken forest of yellow pine, which
had been opened liy the Brunswick and
Western railroad. Thrco years after he
was joined by Ills brother, W. O. Tift,
and they went to work to hew nnd saw
their fortunes from the forests.
