Pearl Spring Creamery. McDonough, Georgia, Friday june 28, 1907. 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.

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. TO THESUPT. HENRY • 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.
