THE SINGING AT RED BLUFF CHURCH. The all-day singing at Red Bluff church last Sunday was largely attended. It was about 11 o’clock before the congrega tion gathered, and Prof. Spivey took the lead and singing began. After he retired from the floor, the other directors followed one after another, and the singing was extremely fine and inspiring. Dinner followed one hour later, and was such as to fully main tain the reputation of old Red Bluff for excellent spreads. Mr. Wiley Davis was on hand with his coffee pot, and was quite an acquisition. Professor Spivey expressed delight at being again with the good people of Red Bluff, and spoke of their great appreciation of good singing. The next meeting of the South East Georgia Singing convention will be held with Union church, half mile from Minter, Ga., on Dec. 31st. The M. D. &S. and the Ga. & Fla. roads will sell tickets on 30th and 31st Dec. at reduced rates, and we expect a crowd of 5,000 people. Come. APPORTIONMENT OF THE STATE SCHOOL FUND. Apportionment of next year’s school fund has been made by Hon. M. L. Brittain, state super intendent of schools, and was made upon a basis of $3.43 per capita of school age. This per capita will not apply unless the contingent appropriation of SSO - made by the last legislature finds enough funds in the treas ury to make it available. With out this appropriation the per capita will be five cents less, or $3.38. Under this apportionment Montgomery county will get the sum of $19,876.09. Many towns and cities in the state have their separate school systems, and their shares are given, but none of Montgomery county towns maintain such systems, and the above amount is for the whole county. LAND DIVIDED-WORLD UNITED. An article in Home and Farm, taken from an English journal, gives some interesting facts about the great Panama Canal, and concludes thus: The passage through the canal, moreover, will be an experience to be enjoyed. The great engi neering wonder of the world is cut through a land where civili zation has not yet made its way. Indians as uncivilized as they were hundreds of years ago live near its banks. The jaguar roams the jungle, the boa con strictor lurks about the streams and woods, and the crocodile and alligator lie in wait for man in the swamps. Brilliant orchids and other wonderful plants be deck the forests; and birds as gorgeous as a painter’s dream gladden the traveler’s eye. All around is evidence to re mind us that this huge wonder of civilization is carved through the heart of things which belong to the primitive past. Yet now, on the actual banks of the canal, towns and schools, and institu tions of all sorts, are springing up, where 43,000 workers, with their wives and children, live. Thanks to the absence of drink, crime is almost unknown, and where pestilence raged not long ago there lives today one of the healthiest, happiest, hardest working communities of anywhere to be found. Every worker in the canal is given a medal, with this happy inscription on the face of it: “The land divided, the world united.” He should be proud of it, for it means that he has helped in one of the mightiest pieces of work ever done in this world.

I Thomasville, Ga., Dec. 14. 3 Some unusually fine home grown t oranges are being brought into - Thomasville this season, and the j people, especially in the country, . seem to have gone into the culti , vation of this frut more than for ; a long time. Mr. A. J. Dickey, ' living just over the line in Grady county, brought in a few days ago 2,000 beautiful ones that ■ were grown on one tree, and l that not a large one. Mr. Dickey , has 6,000 or 8,000 from his trees i this year and expects a much i larger yield next year when the r trees are older. He had) no i trouble in disposing of them here l at good market prices. t Very fine oranges were grown in Thomas county some years i ago, but the white fly pest in i jured the trees very badly, de , stroying their vitality and mak i ing them susceptible to the cold, } so that many of them died. The 1 fly has not been so bad of late, t however, and it does not seem to i trouble the trees much in the country districts, preferring the towns where it is thickly settled, with the result that many trees , and shrubs which are injured by them in the towns are not at all ’ hurt in the country. ; WHAT ADVERTISING DID FOR ENTERPRISING CITY, What advertising did for Mem ! phis is described by John Duffy ■ in a recent issue of Lesslie’s ! Weekly, which has been publish • ing a series of articles on the ■ best way to boost a city, Mr. Duffy’s being the second. Memphis some time ago appro priated $20,000 for publicity. ■ Probably no similar amount spent ■ on municipal advertising has ev -1 brought such excellent results. 1 The advertisements, which were written with a view of present ! ing in brief space the advantages i of Memphis for business and as : a place of residence, appeared in i monthlies and weeklies of nation al circulation. The results were unusual. No less than sixty-five manufactur ing concerns have moved to the city of Memphis. These plants , employ 5,200 persons, the most of whom came to the city with the concerns that located there. As each person thus employed represents at least one dependent on him or her for support, this would mean a total of 10,400 peo ple. Gaining 10,000 new citizens at a cost of $20,000 is getting them at $2 a head, certainly mon ey well spent. At least seventy five new jobbing houses and be tween 300 and 400 new firms have been attracted to the city. SHALL COURT OF APPEALS STAND? With Judge Dick Russell and Judge Arthur Powell simultane ously considering resigning from the court of appeals to resume private life and the practice of law, it rather looks as though the court itself were going to be rav eled out. John C. Hart of Union Point is spoken of as a successor to Judge Russell. Mr. Hart is an able and upright lawyer in whose hands the dignity of the office might well be entrusted. But the question naturally arises whether these resignations may not afford a timely occasion for the dissolu-i tion of the court itself. It is a j question whether the court of ap- : peals has made good, and wheth er its continuance is really worth I while. It was instituted a few | years ago, chiefly to relieve the 1 ! pressure of business upon the j supreme court, but it seems to be i regarded almost as a fifth wheel !in the legal machinery of the state. In the opinion of many of the lawyers it is a real disap pointment. From various causes, the court of appeals appears to | have lacked the usefulness and prestige that should rightfully belong to it, and the sentiment that it would be wise to dissolve it and enlarge, if need be, the equipment of the supreme court, , appears to be growing. —Savan ’ nah Press.
