We had a beautiful day for the
singing and are more than glad to
say we have never witnessed an all
day singing where there was better
behavior. We also 1 ave a flourish
ing Sunday school at this church,
wnich averages fifty to seventy five
every Sunday. The school has only
been organized about four months.
We think in a short time it will be
as fine as any in Griffin.
On the third Sunday in May Rev.
Cooper baptized four candidates,
Ezra Hickman and Jesse Jones;
Misses Pough and Hand.
Mrs. Frances Wilkerson left today
on a visit to relatives and friends at

We are expecting to have Bro

Air. and Mrs. Scrags are all smiles
over the arrival of n baby girl.
Rev. Bailey ['reached a good sermon
at New Hope Sunday to a latge congre
gation. Being the tilth Sunday there
was no preaching around near by.
The people oi this community will
organize a Sabbath school at New Hope
the second Sunday in this month. Let
evetybody come and have a good Sab
bath school.
Waller Estes has the finest corn we
have seen.
Dav labor is very scarce around here.

Molena, Ga., June 2.—A timely

Sunday and Sunday night.
Cotton choppers are in great demand
and are very scarce
Glem Hidles has been sick with meas
les the past week, which was some of
the fruits derived from the picnic at
Fiat Shoals the first of May.
We attended preaching at Concord
Sunday lust. The general meeting had
just closed and Rev. Blalock, of La-
Grange, preached the commencement
sermon for Concord High .School at
eleven o’clock to a packed bouse, from
the text: “Seek Ye the Lord.” We
were glad to hear that our old neighbor
boy and former teacher at Union and-
Molena, had given such general satis
faction at Concord this year. 11. B.
Carreker is one of our beet teachers.
We suppose Bro. Concord Cullings will
give the full program of the exercises
of the school.
Prol. Chapman closed his school at
Molena Tuesday. We live so far from
Molena and were so busy fighting Gen
eral Green that we failed to get the
program. ' V-X
Z. T. Willis has the finest cotton on
his place that we have seen. It is being
plowei I the second time.
A. J. Chappell cut his ’fine field of
wheat last week. He also has some of
the best oats that we have seen around
here.
In our travels around we notice a
great many vacant farms, whose owners
have deserted them and gone to the
cotton mills to make a decent living.
It seems very unjust to me for an able
bodied man to take his girls to a cotton
mill to be deprived of all the pleasure
that could be had on the farm and place
them among all sorts of people, while
he himself sits around town a I day to
see how many of his old comrades are
coming to town that day to set them up,
while his little children are feeding ami
clothing the whole family. We know
the cap may fit very tight on some here,
nevertheless it is true.
LIBERTY BILL LACONICS.
Liberty Hill, tin , June 2 —The
wheat crop is fairly good in this section.
Some of the farmers have cut theirs,
w hile some is not ripe. As a general
thing fall oats are good.
John I’. Brown and Jim Simmons

anywhere.
The acreage of small grain and corn
is more than usual. The corn crop is
very sorry, the bud worm having none
its work ibe past two weeks, which Use
damaged the stand very much.
There is not as much cotton planted in
this section as common. Most of the
crop had to be planted the secend time,
and the prospects tor a cotton crop are
the poorest we ever saw.
The farmers have had two weeks of
line weather and have made good use of
the time.
The citizens of Pike county regret
very much the murder of so noble a
young man as George Worthen. The
family have the sympathy of the entire
community.
Mrs. Dock Crumley, who has been ill
for sometime, is still very feeble.
There has not been very much cotton
chopped in this section yet and now the
first of June.
E. B. Taylor reports the honey crop
fine. He has taken about GO pounds

Children's day was observed here
Sunday afternoon and was a success in

It is with sorrow we note the death
of Mr. Middlebrooks, which occurred
last Saturday morning at his home near
Bethel. It seems that he had been in a
low state of health for sometime. The
deceased was fifty-three years old at
tho time of his death. The remains
were laid to rest in Bethel cemetery on
Sunday. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. H. R. Davies.
Everybody remember that Standing

President Taylor has just written
a suggestion that the editor thinks
is most fitting, ami that is that each
correspondent be assigned a place
on the day’s program, being allowed
to either make an address, ref d an
essay, recite something, sing a tong
or play a piece of music. Now,
certainly every correspondent in
our bright galaxy is capable of doing
one of these things, if not all cf
them, and by thia means we will
have a new program and one eqal

occasion. Let every one pick out
his or her part and prepare to give
