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. W. H. T. A HAPPY -SBT HOME ** Is one where health abounds.

The Farmers’ Union of the Sixth district held a meeting in Barnes ville Wednesday which was large ly atteded by members throughout the district. About fifty delegates were pres ent and the session was harmoni ous and beneficial, especially to the local chapters. John Wesley Murphey, of Spald ing, presided, and W.

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.” “S. E. Leigli, Chm. J. J. Price, J. I. Harris. W. P. White, . M. W. Everett, Committee.” 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 ston, Linton, Miss. For sale by McDonough Drug Co. A FAMILY REUNION AT HAMPTON. Hampton, Ga., Aug. 1, ’O7.
