B MOLENA MENTION.
t Molena, Ga., June 23 .—lt has been
■ nearly two week since we had rain and
I a good shower is needed now. A ma
h jority of the cotton has been chopped,
I though some few have chopped very
little.
Mrs, West Reeves, whose sickness
* was mentioned a few days ago, died at
her home near Molena Saturday morn
ing. Her body was removed to the
home of her son, Ernest Reeves, Satur
day evening, and her funeral was
preached Sunday morning at 9 o’clock
by Rev. W. P. Head. She was a mem
ber of the Methodist church. She was
buried at the family burying ground
near Union Academy.
' There was one of the largest crowds
4 at Mt. Olive Sunday that we have seen
, there since the baptizing in 1897, when
fifty-three were led down into the liquid
. grave at one time. The program for
p Children’s Day was changed on account
of the funeral and burial of Mrs.
Reeves until 2 o’clock p. m. W. D,
1 Bennett, us Molena, and W. A. What
<l ley each sang a short lesson before
preaching. At eleven o’clock
■ Brother Head delivered one of his fine
sermons on the importance of training a
■ * child while he is young, taking the po-
■ sition that there was hardly ever any
■ conversions after they passed the age of
forty years. After the sermon Bro. J.
B D. Oarreker made a short talk on cheer
ful giving, after which a collection was
taken by four little girls and $3 31 was
collected, the proceeds of which go to
the foreign mission board to buy Bibles
for the destitute. Adjourned for din-
* ner, which was in abundance.
1 The singers met again at half past one
and sang some more of the pretty songs
,of Zion, after which the following pro
? gram was carried out for children ’s day :
Opening song, bend us Light.
f PKayer, by Bro. Head.
?. Song. Joy to the World.
I’.. ‘ Recitation. Miss Emma Torport, Wel

■ . Recitation, Arthur Griffin, The Ad
dress of Assembly on Sabbath Schools.
•* Song, There is a Great Day Coming.
Recitation, Mis. Alice Heath, McKin
ley’s Dying Words.
Then in a few appropriate words Bro.
Head introduced J. B. Madden, oi Con
cord, who made us one of the best Sun
day school talks that it has been our
pleasure to hear in along time. This
closed the exercises of the day by an
nouncing that the third Sunday in .June
would be children’s day at old Mt. Olive
as long as it is a church and singing the
• old favorite tune, God be with you till
.. we meet again.
[*.. Bob Lee Jemison lost his house by
fire last week, destroying everything in
k- the house. His case and that of West
f , ' Reeves, who just lost his wife, were
i put before the church Sunday tor their
i sympathy and help Mr .Reeves’ crop
is in a bad shape, ho losing so much
time waiting on his wife, while Mr.
Jemison is a poor man with a large
s family of small children, anil those who
can should help.
Williamson, Jolly, Concord, Neal,
'I Molena, Woodbury, Thunder, Hendrix,
Lifsey and several other places were
I ' well represented at Mt. Olive Sunday.
* Nothing but a shower of rain about 3
o’clock, that was needed, disturbed the
day. Brother Head told the congre
gation that the world could not beat it
with so large a congregation, and he
hoped to meet them all again next
year with well filled baskets.
We are sorry to know that Brother
•K Spraggins will no longer give us the
Is- news from Silvey. We wish him God
speed in his new field of labor.

St. Charles, Ga , June 23.—
As it has been sometime since I have
written to the G. S. VV. I feel that I
am due an apology, but all I have to
offer is that we have been wrapped up
with General Green. He began to ad
vance on us early in May and during
the continued wet spring he got up good
fortifications, and we had to marshal all
our forces to dislodge him. However,
we have about succeeded, and he is on
the retreat in live order, with a weak
rear guard. Crops are very small for
the season of the year, but are growing
nicely. The stand of cotton is very im
perfect. Oom looks well, though very
small. Wheat crop was very short,
not averaging over a half crop. Oats
were good.

There was a largo crowd at Fair

over Spalding county and all adjoin
ing counties and neighboring
towns.
Fair view is located in Line Creek
district, about four miles south of
Brooks Station and twelve miles
west of Griffin, and nestled in a
beautiful grove, making an ideal
place for such an occasion as that of
Sunday.

pective parts in a most admirable
manner, the music and singing be

Wood, of Sunny Bzde, preached one

different localities each year for
special song services are fraught
with much good and are most de
lightful to the country people, who
assemble together and not only en
joy the music, but have a good time
socially.
The G S. W. having previously
called attention to the fact, every
body went out to Fairview with the
proverbial well filled baskets, and at
noon there was a most tempting
