Holman, il||l==llllli=il|||=:il||i: CAIRO, GA. | iiiii=iiii>=iiiiiiS To Hold Annual Convention at Monticello. juonticello is an interesting place It Is the Nut Growing Center- Particular Attention to Be Paid to Pecan Growing—Expert Nut Growers to Be Present. Chairman J. B Wight, of Cairo, has issued a call for the ninth an nual convention of the National Nut Growers’ Association which will be held in Monticello, Florida, Novem her 1, 2 and 3, 1910. As a nut-growing center, there , are few places more interesting than Monticello. There are more and larger nut nurseries at that place Ulan at any other in the world. In arid around the city there are at least two thousand acres of orchards, most of them being budded and grafted trees. Some of the oldest seedling pecan trees east of the Mis sissippi river are growing about the homes of the city. To those, therefore, who are in terested in nut growing in anv of its phases, there can be no more at tractive place than Monticello, and certainly no better time to visit >t than the above, when the nut crop &$4his year will be ripening; and nut growers from almost every nut growing state will bo present. Monticello has already begun to work and plan for the entertain ment and amusement of her guests No wide-awake nut grower can af ford to miss, this meeting. While more particular attention ■will be paid to pecans,yet the range oi discussions will include all nuts r--. ■ that are commercially profitable. Expert nut growers from all parts of the country will be present, and a program is being prepared that will cover practically all phasqs of the subject. Particular interest will attach to the report of the commit tee on Varietal Adaptation. This committee was appointed at the last annual convention, and is diligently at work making investigations as to. the best varieties of nuts suited to euch section. To meet and talk with the oldest and most progressive nut growe.s of the country, will-be well worth the'trip to Monticello. Opportunitiy will be afforded all visitors to see the nurseries and or chards in and around the city. The local committee on arrangements is also planning to make the socia features of the convention memora ble. Grady Produces Fine Pecans. found for No better land can be growing pecans than the soil of Grady, which is not an experiment, as can be seen on every hand. The nuts are beginning to fall and are being placed on the market. Every variety is successfully grown here and growers have met with the very best success. The nurseries are unable to sup ply the market for trees, notwith standing the nurseries are large, and thousands of trees are disposed of annually. Monticello Will Have Big County Fair. Monticello, Fla., is planning to have a county fair at the same time of the meeting of the National Nut Growers’ Association in that city November 1; 2 and 3'. A fair was held in Monticello last year on a small scale as somewhat of an experiment, and it proved so successful both financially and in the character of exhibits that it was decided to i’^pbat it this year on a larger scalo. Continued from first page The floor is inclined so that all may be able to see the speaker; the house is neat, comfortable and attractive and is A credit t<> the Calvary community . Although Friday was threaten ing and it finally did rain for two hours, the audience that greeted Bishop Morrison was quite large and represenative. Perhaps, three hundred and fifty gathered at the church coming by buggies wag' ons, P. & H. and a half. dozen autos. Cairo had about thirty represenatives and Whigham had a respectable delegation. The people were there from Donald- sonville, Thomasville, 1 Havana Hinson, Fla., and other places A choir of fourteen young ladies under the leadership of Mrs. Marvin Herring, as organist led the singing in which the au dience joined with hearty good will. Rev. Mr.. Ratcliffe made the opening prayer, being called upon by Bishop Morrison in the following words: “Inasmuch as Bro. Ratcliffe was, in one sense, originator of your church, I will ask him to lead'the prayer. ” Bishop Morrison introduced his very excellent and impressive sermon, a report of which is given elsewhere in this issue, with a statement that he had decided not to preach a regular dedication sermon, and as he would, pro bably, never have another oppor tunity to speak to then again, he wanted, out of a full heart to talk about life and its meaning and how to make the most of it. For one hour, with an impressiveness and'an eloquence seldom heard, terest, the closest attention of his hearers.' It was a great sermon' and a great occasion improved 1 in a splendid manner. The simple, but impressive dedication sermon of the Metho dist church, followed the sermon and the church building at Cal vary was set apart, from all un holy and unhallowed uses, for the worship of the Almighty God. Among the ministers who partici pated in the service were, Revs- Dr. Williams:Kerr, of Quitman; Ratcliffe and Towson, besides Bishop Morrison. <. After the dedication service, a most sumptous repast was served by the ladies of the church. A, more bounteous dinner has sel dom been seen. The hundred foot table simply groaned under the weight of fried chicken, boiled ham, chicken pie, salads, pickels, pies, dozens of courses and many other toothsome viands; The only trouble with the dinner was that it was amply sufficient for seven hundred people instead of the three hundred and fifty who enjoyed it. A little after dinner, the peo ple began to disperse, Bishop Morrison and Dr. Williams going in Dr. Mallette’s auto, with the doctor and his son, to Thomas ville. The Cairo delegation left by the P. & H. reaching home a little after five o’clock with re collections of a pleasant and pro fitable day, -one long to be re membered. Ashbum, Moultrie.
