CHILD FALLS FROM TREE BREAK
ING HIS ARM.
The little five-year-old son of
Mr. W. H. Stewart, the popular
blacksmith, while playing about
his father’s home on Tuesday
morning climed up a tree in the
yard and fell out of the tree break
ing his arm in the elbow joint.
Dr. McDonald was called in to
set the broken limb, while the
fracture is a. very painful one, yet
it is thought that there is no likely -

necessitate an amputation. He is

A TELEGRAPH OFFICE UP TOWN.
.
For many years the people ol
| McDonough have been greatly in-
I convenienced about not having an
efficient telegraph service, the de
pot so far out that the service from
there has proven much inconven
ient and often messages were de
layed in delivery on account of the
crowded railway business.
The people have petitioned the
Western Union to put in a commer
cial office up town and they have
the assurance of the district mana
ger that they will have their re
quest granted. This is a. much
needed improvement and will great
ly facilitate all kinds of business,
especially will it be of great con
venience to all the cottsui men.
Another tiling thu is needed up
totvn is the Southern Express office.
When any town with the amount
of business of* McDonough is as far
from the railway station they
should have both a telegraph and
express office in the business cen
ter of the town. Its not only a con
venience to the people but it is a
paying business propersition to
these corporations.
M’DONOUGH PARTY TO VISIT
NORTH.
On July the 9th quite a party of
McDonough’s prominent citizens
will leave for an extended tour
through the Northern states, in
cluding in their tour New York,

position. Mr. and Mrs. Carmich

FOR’O7-08 CHOSEN.
At a recent meeting of the hoard
of trustees of the Locust Grove In
stitute the corps of teachers for
the coming school year were chosen.
The announcement of the teach
ers will he of especial interest to
the people of McDonough by rea
son of the fact that one of the
town’s most prominent and highly
cultured young men has been
chosen one of the professors for
the coming year. Mr. Otis O. Toll
eson has been chosen for the chair
of mathematics and history and
it is safe to predict for him a mark
ed success in this department of
the school.

been chosen president.

matics.

REV. G. V. WEATHERS’ELECT
BE FIELD AGENT OF SCHOOL.
NEW WORK WILL NOT INTER
FERE WITH PASTORAL DUTIES.
Rev. C. V. Weathers, pastor of
the Locnst Grove circuit, was Fri
day elected financial agent, of the
Griffin district institute at Zebu
lon, the youngest and one of the
most successful secondary schools
of the North Georgia conference.
The institute Ims just closed one
of the most beneficial terms since
its organization under the efficient
presidency of Prof. A. 11. Steph
ens.
At a meeting of the hoard of
trustees Friday tho reports were
all favorable and much business
was transacted.
The curriculum of tho institute
is regarded as equal to that of any
similar institution of tho Southern
Methodist church.
Four years ago under tho faith
ful administration of Rev. C. V,
Weathers, the first president, this
excellent school was founded and
through his persistent efforts was
adopted by the conference.
Tho duties of field or financial
agent will in no way interfere with
Mr. Weathers’ pastorate and he
will doubtless contribute much to
the success of tho institution.

COUNTY SUNDAY
SCHOOLS.
Dear Brethern,
Our annual celebration of Hen
ry county Sunday School associ
ation will bo held as heretofore at
j Shingleroof campground on Fri
| day, July 26th, let as many Schools
|as can be ready and on time say
\at 9 :30 o’clock a. m. so as to have
| a song service.
We want to make the day one
iof great interest in the forward
movement of the Sunday School
work in our dear old county won’t
j you come to help us, we need you,
l it is your work, you should be in
terested. We think the Sunday
School one of the best agencies for
pointing the child’s hope upward,
as its chief aim is to teacli the
word of God to learn more of the
way and to help each other in
studying the Book, and singing
praises to our God.
Allow me to say, we would he
glad if each school that has not
given any thing for the Orphans,
would bring or send something,
you certainly are in favor of help
ing the Orphans’ home.
Pleasant Hill gave $21.00, Liber
ty Hill $5.25, Bethany $4 5 7, Mc-
Donough Presbyterian SIO.OO, col
lection at Mt. Carmel $5.25. It has
been decided to divide equally all
we can raise between the Metho
dist, Baptist and Presbyterian Or
phan Homes.
Ido not think there is a school
in the county but what can help ns
in this canse, remember what Je
sns said. He that giveth a cup of]
cold water to one of those little !
etc not only do I believe you can
give but that God will bless the
gift. We have invited the Govern
or Elect, to be with us on that day.
So we expecting a fine address we
will try to secure Judges outside
of the county, for the schools that
contest for the banner, come, let
him that readeth say come and
bring well filled baskets, come.

boys all admirably acquitted then -
selves on this subject that has fur

minds of some of the ablest states
men of the country. Tho judges
decided that the negative side won
the contest by a close rub and thas
we will retain the Philippines far

these girls which was a rare treat
to all present. After the program
of the young ladies an address was
delivered by Prof. E. A. Pound, if
