BILVEY SHOW FLAKES.
Silvey, Ga., May 13.—Mrs W. L.
Brakefield spent several days with her
fater, Uapt. Strickland, at Farmdale
the past week.
Mrs. Callie Bailey, of Senoia, be
comes a subscriber to the G. S. VV. this
issue.
T. H. Benson, of Urbana, Va.,
writes us that he has failed to get his
G. S. VV. for two or three weeks, and
all the family are mad.
We had our man to have his paper
stopped, but wouldn’t tell his wife that
he had it stopped, and she thought it
was in the fault of the mall until she
saw us. Well, you can guess what she
said to him.
John Edwards, who was raised at
Oakland, but for past three or four
years has been with Sasser & Powers,
of Senoia, has accepted a position as
traveling salesman for a wholesale
house in Atlanta, and will travel in
South Carolina. John is one of our
very best young business men and we
wish him well and hope the change
may improve his health.
Another week has passed and the
farmers have not been able to run their
plows since Wednesday, but the blind
tigers have made their usual good time,
and that in the doors of churches and
patronized by church people.
We are requested by Brother John
Branding, of Neal, to correct through
the G. S. W. a misunderstanding as
gotten out in regard to the annual all
day singing to be held at that place the
second Sunday in July, instead of
June; and also Brother Fowler, Hutton
and Mann are expected to be present
that day.
We received 50 cents from Brother
Lem Hooten for Brother W. A. Wesley,
of Woolsey, in payment of renewal to
the G. S. W. Many thanks, brother
many more could do likewise, which
would be greatly appreciated by us, and
would enable us to carry up a nice
purse and turn over to the editor at the
reunion.
A. T. Manley’s family have been
feasting on measles. We are glad to
know though that they are about
I '
SJ |
through with them now, and they can't
have them any more if they want
them.
Brother Hooten filled his regul ir ap
pointment both Saturday «nd Sunday at
Neal and he preached a good sermon
Sunday.
A large per cent, of the farmers are
not done planting of cotton yet and
some few who are done are planting
over. The cool wind that has been
blowing from the northeast caused
that which had come up to die, and
very few farmers have got enough seed
to plant their crop more than once.
Since our earliest recollection, we have
never seen a year that compares with
this one up to the present. Before the
end shall come there shall be signs and
wonders in heaven and there shall be
famines and pestilence on the earth,
such as have never been before, and
shall never be again. So says word aud
the word is truth. Heaven and earth
may pass away but not one jot or title
shall pass until all unfulfilled.
GREENWOOD GREETINGS.
Greenwood, Ga., May 13.—1 will
come again, after several week’s ab
sence on account of sickness, though
news is very scarce this week.
The farmers are putting iu ever}' day
tbey can on their farms, but the most of
them are badly behind with them.
We learn that Henry Sowell’s two
children are very low with typhoid
fever. We wish for them a speedy re
covery.
Henry Guyton and family, of this
place, have moved to Roberta, Ga.,
where he has accepted a position as
section foreman. We wish him much
success at his new home.
Let us all join in and have 'the best
reunion this year that we have ever yet
had. I think it would be so nice to
have a recitation from some of the
young ladies and gentlemen. This
scribe was present last year and ex
pects to be this rear if nothing happens.
