> New School at Zebulon.
Rev. C. V. Weathers, the inde
fatigable pistor of tho Methodist
church of Z ibulon, was in the city
- yesterday looking after subscribers
to the attempted W. M. Blanton
Institute, which has been dropped,
and getting them to change their
subscription to the new school con
templated at Z’bulon. There was
<154 of subscriptions here and most
of this will be readily transferred
While here Mr. Weathers outlined
the plans to the News and Bun as
follows:
“The enterprise of establishing a
school at Zjbulon, to be operated
by the Methodist church, is one
whioh has unanimously taken hold
of our people. We believe it to be
the best move which has been in our
midst for a number of fears.
“The citizens of our town gome
time since met and proposed to con
vey to the Methodist church all the
Fohool property owned by the town.
We are now engaged in raising
funds with which to enlarge the
school building and build a dormi
tory. We have raised in the neigh
borhood of 12,000 and are still at it.
A board of trustees has been ap-
take charge or the prop
erty.
“It is the purpose to make this a
district school—that is, the Griffin
District School, at once. An appli
cation for this will be made at the
district conference, which will be
held in July. Wethen propose to
apply for membership in the annual
. conference next winter.
“Our purpose is to establish a
school with a curriculum sufficient
to enable our young men and wo
, men to enter the junior class in a
regular college. To this end, we
will make an effort to have the
school correlated with the estab
lished colleges so that a certificate
from this school will enable our
students to enter the junior class
without examination.
“Such a school will be a blessing,
not only to Zebnlon and ccmmuni
ty, but to all this part of Middle
Georgia. We propose to have cheap
tuition, low rates of board and
thorough training by competent
teachers so as to reach many of our
i youth who are notable financially
to psy high rates of tuition and
beard else where ; and thus reach
the misses.
“We feel that money placed into
this movement will be well and
wisely invested, which will declare
dividend-i of untold value in the
shape oi men and women.
“A meeting of the board cf trus
tees will b> c tiled soon Plans are
being discussed as to the building
tv be encted. We hope to com
merce to build soon, and do the
( major part of the work by fall
i term.
’ “If anyone who may chance to
read this wishes to contribute to
this noble enterprise, let them con
municaie at once with Judge J. W.
M’ans, Zibulon, Ga , who is chair
man of finance committee.”

Well, dear comrades, we have under
consideration of leaving the columns of
the G. S. W. as correspondent for a
more noble and higher calling, and
while I know that there are some
Christian gentlemen and ladies that be
long to the corps of correspondents, as
well as I know there are many more
that are subscribers and readers that I
personally know, and I ask their prav
ers that I may be made a more faithful
servant in the new v ork that I feel
do than I have ma le duriag
the four years that I have been writing
for the News and Sun. We shall never
forget the kindness that has been
shown us by the correspondents and
the readers, and to the editor we will
always feel grateful towards him and
always do anything for the good of his
paper that we can, as I have done all
than an honest man could do. I know
that I have dealt with both editor and
subscribers honestly, and if I have
made any mistake in any way it has
not been intended. I may write oc
casionally, but if I am finally led to
leave the columns I will write and fully
explain the work to which I feel cahed.
Asking again to be remembered by the
editor and correspondents staff, and ali
readers, one and all.

Did a White Man Kill Worthen?
After an all day session the coro
ner’s jury in the Worthen murder
Os se rendered a verdict that death
resulted from a gun shot wound in
the hands of unknown parties.
About forty witnesses were ex
amined, but as the inveetation was
conducted behind closed doors the
public is not informed as to the na
ture of the facts brought out.
It is generally believed, however,
that circumstances point strongly
to a white man as the guilty party,
and it is stated that an arrest will
likely follow in a few days. There
is strong feeling in Pike county
over the deed and efforts will not
cease toplace the guilt where it be
longs.

six inches large, more than forty

MOLENA MENTION.
Molena,Ga.,May 26.—The warm
sunshine of the past week has put new
life into everything.
A great deal of cotton has been plant
ed over and there will be good stands
from it. A little shower of rain would
do no harm to soften the crust.
Wheat cutting and dewberry pies will
be the order of the day next week.
Plums ars getting ripe and the peach
trees are shedding their Iruit very bad.
Last Sunday was regular preaching
day at Beulah church, near Lifsey. Two
deacons were ordained Saturday, Thus.
Jloward and John Butler.
We attended the all day singing and
preaching Sunday. The singing was
organized by electing T. W. Story,
chairman. The first lesson was led,
each twenty minutes; W. A. Whalley.
W. 1). Bennett, of Molena ; R. I. Jen
kins and J. L. Blandenburg. A good
many expected to hear the pastor, Rev.
Coker, bur there were six others
present, three Barons that were preach
ers of Atwater, Ga. W. D. Whittle, of
Meansville, John Robinson, of Lifsey,
an I Rev. J. I). Carriker, of Molena,
preached very interesting set moils, after
which tiie crowd adjourned one hour for
dinner, which was in great profusion to
feed the large crowd present. The
crowd was greatly increased in the af
ternoon and some new singers put for
ward. The singing was mostly done in
Songs and Melodies ahd Revival Xo. 3.
During our ten years residence within
six miles of this church it was our first
time to attend services there, but they
are like all old Pike people, never make
a failure of any occasion. The church
has been recently’ ceiled. They have a
splendid spring, whose sparkling waters
come gushing from the mountain.
Space forbids us giving all the liar icu
lars of the day. W. D. Bennett, Mole
na’s big singer, done his whole duty in
the leading as well as performing on the
organ.
The Sabbath school at Union is re
quested to meet at Mt. Olive next Sun
day morning at eight o’clock to practice
singing for children’s day in June. We
do this as we have no organ at Union.
Last Sunday night as Gus Allen was
coining home from Meansville, two un
known men stepped out of a piece of
woods near Union and threw rocks at
him, hitting him in the breast, and then
shot at him nine, times. He was in his
buggy by' himself and doesn’t know who
they were. He says if he has an eneiuv
he does not know it. It seems like a
man’s life is in danger these times un
less he is in company with a lady. It is
a pity but what every pistol in the world
was sunk in the ocean and a law to hang
the man that made the next one. If a
man gets drunk we hardly ever hear of
him doing any harm unless be has got a
pistol.
Sidney Crowell killed two carp fish at
one shot last week in Elkins’ creek that
weighed eleven and a half and twelve
and a half pounds. He got more fish
than the three crowds that lost all day
last Saturday by going to Flat Shoals
an.l other places.
