An Interesting Letter.
BROXTON, GA., Aug. 4, 1907.
Editor Henry County Weekly:
Not having the honor of your ac
quaintance, but having been a con
stant reader of The Weekly for
over a dozen years and having •mi
grated South nearly two hundred
miles, it makes it doubly dear tome.
Though I take other periodicals,
the old Henry County Weekly is
the most sought and the most sadly
missed when through some irregu
larities of the mails it fails to ar
rive on schedule time. Having
lived in several different, parts of
the county,.the correspondents are
especially sought after and read
with pleasure.
We are in the midst of the fodder
season down here and old Sol is
trying himself between the rifts in
the clouds. The corn crop of this
section is excellent as are almost
all other crops Cotton is blooming
near the top and some few bolls are
beginning to open.
Our section is still drawing on
the upper counties. Whenever a
person comes down he becomes in
terested, if he over anticipates a
change. Some have already trad
ed for another year, and still oth
ers are prospecting.
If the people uf old Henry are
still of the opinion that all of
South Georgia is full of chills and
fever they have only to come down
and stay awhile and he convinced
that it is a mistake. But we have
a few good things you don’t have
tup there. Two of them are gnats
and lieus. It' -you enjoy lighting,
you can get your till fighting gnats.
lam indebted to Mr. Riekerson
for a trip to old Henry two weeks
ago, which I enjoyed greatly, and
1 sincerely thank my friends for
the cordial welcome with which I
was greeted.
-Mr. E. L. Bledsoe, the live dry
goods merchant of Broxton, is on
a trip to tht 1 Jamestown exposi
tion, also Baltimore and New
York—the latter cities in the in
terest of his company.
Rev. T. J. Bledsoe tilled his reg
ular appointment last Sunday at
Broxton Baptist church ho having
taken up active work again and is
supplying the above charge as pas
tor.
P. L. Moore is in the drug busi
ness and cold drinks, being associ
ated with Dr: Ricketson, the firm
being Ricketson <Sr Moore.
Homer Johnson is farming this
year and has a fine crop and seems
stuck on farming, but can’t resist
the temptation to help run the
Broxton Journal occasionally.
Sheriff Ricketson went to Flori
da after a prisoner last week. Veri
ly he is a terror to evil doers.

Farmers’ Union Against Immigration.
Following are the resolutions
adopted 1>3 T the Georgia Farmers’
Union at its annual convention in
Atlanta last week opposing foreign
immigration:
•‘Whereas, the State of Georgia
is populated almost exclusively
with men of pure Anglo-Saxon
blood, the descendants of that
hardy race of pioneers who, fleeing
the oppression of kings and ty
rants, sought an asylum upon our
shores, where they might worship
God according to the dictates of
their own consciences and found a
government that would foster and
protect the rights and liberties of
the people; and,
“Whereas, population is increas
ing, as it were, by leaps and
bounds, it being estimated that in
the next fifty years the increase by
birth alone will give us a popula
tion of 200,000,000, all of whom
must be fed from the far m ; and
“Whereas, there are no new
worlds to discover, but each coun
try must take care of its teeming
millions; and,
“Whereas, the practicability of
inducing immigrants into our
State is being agitated, and believ
ing that the policy will prove det
rimental to the best interests, ma
terial, social moral, and religious,
of our State ; and,
“Whereas, we ha v e learned
from actual experience that this
foreign element, as a class, is un
reliable in character, degraded in
morals, anarchistic in principle,
and dangerous to the peace and
order of society and the welfare of
the public ; therefore, be it
“Resolved that the Farmers’
Union of Georgia is irrevocably
opposed to foreign immigration,
and raises its voice’ in protest
against the iniquitous policy of
encouraging it.
“Be it further resolved, That
the Farmers' Union will stand as a
bulwark against the mighty flood
tide of immigration that is pour
ing into our land from across the
Atlantic, the pauper and criminal
element from the crowded centers
of Europe, and from across the
Pacific the more worthless Mon
golian from the Orient; and be it
further
“Resolved, That it is our unal
terable purpose to hold this goodly
land, purchased with the blood of
our forefathers, as a priceless her
itage for ourselves, and to trans
mit it as a rich legacy to our child
ren and our children's children.”

JACK,
Rev. E S. Atkinson closed a
most gracious revival at Bethany
last Friday with ten accessions to
the membership of the church,
three by letter and seven by experi
ence. Much interest was manifest
ed throughout the entire service,
by the church and community, and
much, lasting good has been done
for the cause of Christ at that
place.
The deep, earnest, and fervent
preaching by pastor Atkinson was
the general remark of all, and he
was listened to attentively by
large congregations each service.
Children’s day services were
held at Philadelphia church last
Sunday and the exercises were
good and interesting. Space for
bids us giving special mention of
all taking part in the exercises but
all the children did well.
Tlie annual revival services are
being held at that place this week,
the pastor, Rev. C. V. Weathers,
being ably assisted by Rev. Will
Hill and Rev. Wilson Culpepper.
Mr. Hill is a good speaker, and
preaches with great power, and is
being greeted with good congrega
tions at each service.
Cham'lM'rliiin’s Colic, Cholera an<l
Diarrhoea Remedy, Better
Than Three Doctors.
“Three years we had three
doctors with our little boy and
everything that they could do
seemed in vain. At last when all
hope seemed to-be gone we began
using Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoe remedy and in a few
hours he began to improve. Today
he is as healthy a child as parents
could wish for.”—Mrs. B. J. John

A FAMILY REUNION AT HAMPTON.
Hampton, Ga., Aug. 1, ’O7.
Dear Editor
At the invitation of Messrs. H.
M. and J. E. Lovern it was my
pleasure to be one of the number
at the reunion dinner, at the home
of Mr. J. G. Sims, near this place,
on Thursday Ist inst.
To say that it was a happy occa
sion gives but a vague expression
of the pleasure and enjoyment to
everyone present. The whole fam
ily were present except the mother,
who went home to Heaven many
years ago, and Dolplins Sims, the
oldest son, whose duties as mail
carrier caused his absence, but
represented by his son, Elton Sims.
Those present were: Mr. J. C.
Craig and four children, of Mc-
Donough, Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Traynliam, Vaughn Ga., Mr. and
Mrs. J. E. Lovern and five children
Hampton, Mr. and Mrs. J. T.
Sims and two children, McDon
ough, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Wallace
and one child McDonough, Mr. .T.
P. Sims East Point, Mr. and Mrs.
11. M. Lovern and three children
Hampton, Miss Stella, and Paul
and Greer Sims who are still at
home with the father, our estima
ble citizen and friend, .T. G. Sims.
It see m s to me that the day
was complete in the way of pleas
ures generally and everything in
the way of eatables that the appe
tite could call for.
These family reunions are oc
casions of pleasure beyond com
parison with any other gatherings.
We wish for the entire family
long life and prosperity and that
these reunions may be repeated
many years.
Yours sincerely,
W. S. Davis.
Keinetly for Uiarrhnea. Never Known

Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. I have used
this preparation in my family for
the past five years and have recoin- 1
mended it to a number of people
in York county and have never
known it to fail to effect a cure in
any instance. I feel that I can not
say too much for the best remedy
of the kind in the world.”—B. Jem
