Cairo, Thomas County, Georgia, June 3, 1004.
District Conference.
The Southwest Georgia Dis
o
trict Conference of the Congre
gational Methodist church con- j
vened last Friday, continuing in
session Saturday and Sunday,
The meeting passed off harmo
niously and important business
came up during the session,
The following delegates to the
conference were elected: Messrs,
Robinson and Brinson of near
Bfinson, Dixon and Taylor of
near Whigham. Among the
visitors were Mr. and Mrs. San
ders, Rev. and Mrs. T. J. Bron
son, Pelham, Rev. Dr. Howell,
Whigham and many prominent
Thomas countians. During the
meeting three names were add
ed to the membership.
This church was organized
about a year ago and now has
about 8o members. The offi
eers are, V. J. Hurst, Boston,
pastor in charge; T. J. Bronson,
Pelham, moderator; J. A. Wynn,
secretary, The missionary
board is composed as follows:
Wm.Robinson, Decatur county;
J. A. Wynn and W. D. Barber,
Thomas county. Rev. T. J.
Bronson was elected missionary
for the district. Before dosing
the conference passed resolu
tions thanking the people of the
section for their kindness.
Through the kindness of Mr.
W. D Barber, the popular liv
eryman of Cairo, a representa
tive of the Messenger was en
abled to attend and participate
in this meeting. Enroute the
splendid farm of Mr.
was shown us and we could
admire the prosperous
that prevailed about the place.
On every hand could be
good crops in a healthy
state, numbers of fat,
mules and horses, and sheep
cattle ranging everywhere,

iveness.. Mr. Barber is a
farmer and takes a pride

The Picnic a Success.
The Sunday school picnic at
Walden's Bridge, on the Och
locknee, last Thursday was a
success in every sense of the
word and every individual who
attended enjoyed the occasion,
unless it were one suffering
from a chronic ease of stricken
conscience or “such like.” Some
where in the neighborhood of
two hundred people were assem
bled upon the grounds and these
sought various forms of amuse
ment and pleasure during the
day—some fishing, some wading
in the clear, cool water, some
strolling along the cool banks
of the stream and others loung
ing about in the shady places
conversing upon this that and
the other topic. (“That” topic
having preference.) A bounte
ous dinner was spread aQ one
o’clock and for an hour the good
substantial fare of the picnic,
followed by the most tempting
viands, was ^discussed and hand
led in a way to gratify and ap
pease the sympathies and needs
of the inner man. Twas a fine
spread indeed with plenty to
spare and we are glad to say it
did not have to go begging for
someone to enjoy. All who at
tended are glad they went.
What more could be said.
NO COMPETITION.
The uniform success of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in
the relief and cure of bowel complaints
both in children and adults has brought
it into almost universal use, so that it is
practically without a rival, and as every
one who has used it knows, is without an
equal. For sale by Wight & Browne
Supper on The River.
Quite a pleasant party of the
picnickers at the river last Thurs
day remained over for a picnic
supper. After lounging in the
shady nooks and strolling over
the quiet paths till nearly sun
down, the members assembled
themselves around a dainty
spread of edibles left from the
dinner and laughter and good
cheer graced the novel spread.
After the delightful repast,
teams were brought up and the
participants started on the love
ly moonlight ride for home. In
the party were: Misses Jonnie
and Kathryn Brown, Ethel Grif
fin, Lizzie Thomas, Dixie Tru
lock, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Puffer,
Messrs. Clyde, Murray and An
salo Maxwell, Ansley Stringer,
F. T. Brown and ye scribe.
