Mr. Editor : —Will you please oblige me with space for the consideration of a subject which I think worthy tbe attention of everybody in Heury couu ty, namely : The quarterly conventions of the Heury County S. S. Association These conventions are held for the pur pose of building up, and to aid iu the progress of the Sunday School cause throughout the county. A noble pur pose indeed, for none hut scoffers and infidels will deny that the Sunday school is one of the grandest institution 8 iu the world. But a moment’s consid eration will convince most any one that these conventions ought to do much good. What we wish to do at this time is to call attention to the fact that up to now they have accomplished but little if anything at all, aud find if possible some of the reasons why : On Sa'urday, Oct. 13th, at the Pr s byteriao church in McDonugh. Among the hand full present at the convention there was only one superintendent, while several superintendents irom dif fereut parts of the county were seen walking around in town. There were present two delegates from Flippen, one from Salem, one from Bethany and one from pleasant Hill. It really seems that most of tbe Sunday schools in the county? had gone fishing, or to see newly purchased possessions, or to prove oxen, or had married wives that were more interesting thau the Sunday School convention. There were present 3 of the executive committee, 2 field work ers and one vice president. Suppose all the rest of the officers of tbe Asso ciation wore otherwise engaged. Our president was too busy to be on band, likewise our secretary and treasurer The chaplain, we suppose, was off preaching, our orgauist simply forgot, aud the chorister had other songs to sing. Such indifference will kill anything. If I was a young lady not over thirty, aud young meu paid no more attention to me than this Sunday School pays to this convention, 1 would expect to live an old maid the balance of my days. Now we are taught that it is better to suggest a remedy than to discover a fault. The remedy is to take more in terest iu this work. With tenderest regard for the feelings of all, we should take more interest in it, or show that it is uuimportant and impractical,or get of the way and let other men who have morebraiu and energy,more religion aud more time to devote to this cause, offi cer the convention aud make it more successful. All this applies to myself as much as it does to any one else. I believe that the officers of the As sociation are all good men (except the organist) bat with regard to th s work they are like the seed which fell among thorns. The cares of this world choke them and they become unfruitful. Ev ery one of us ought to think enough of our Lord and Master to sacrifice our own personal interest in order to aid in the advancement of His kingdom among men. The scriptures utter words a thousand times more powerful than anything I might say on this line. A few quotations from them and I will close: “Ye cannot serve God and mammon,” “Where your treasure is there will your heart be also.” “Tbe love of money is the root of all evil.” “To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not to him it is sin.” “What shall it profit a man if be shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul.” “Not slothful in business ; feryent in spirit; serving the Lord.” “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.” “And let ns not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap if we faint uoi.” Be sure to remember tbe meeting the first Saturday iu November, at tie court house, iu the oillce room of Mr. Daniel, aud come and helppiau for bet ter worl and better success. Faithfully aud lovingly yours, Field Woukeu. Ktfwan-Dailey. Miss Gertrude Dailey aud Mr. Wy att Rowau were happily married at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A B. Dailey, near town on Wed nesday afternoon last, Rev. F. S. Hui son officiating. It was a quiet home wedding, a few friends aiul relatives being preseut to wituess the ceremony. Both are excel lent and popular young people, aud The Weekly joins their many friends iu wishing them tbe brightest pleasures and happiuess of a useful life. Superior Court. Judge Reagan opened tbe fall term of Heury Superior Court promptly on time Monday morning. the graud jury was duly organized with Mr. Geo E. Wise as foreman, and the Judge’s charge was a very excellent and ini pressive one. Solicitor Bioodworth is on hand, aud as usual prompt, efficient aud courte ous in the discharge of his duties. The case of Copelaud vs. Dr Woods occupied the court till Tuesday noon, wheu a verdict was returned for deft. Mrs. Dorsey’s case against the Cen tral road for $20,000 theu consumed a day and a half, resulting iu a .SI,OOO verdict for plaintiff—motion for new trial. Only minor cases remained ou the civil docket, aud as we go to press the prospect is that court will adjourn from Friday till Monday, wheu the criminal docket will be takeu up and probably consume all of next week, as four or five murder cases are to be di« posed of. Judge Hammond, of ’.he Griffin city court, has presided most of the time for Judge Roagau, iu disquali fied cases.. A large crowd was pre«ent Monday. Catarrh Cannot t»e Cured with local applications, as they can not reach the seat of the disease. Ca tarrh is a blood or constitutional dis ease, and in order to cure it you must tak i internal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this couutry for years, aud is a reg ular prescription.
