VOL. XXXIV S
SUNDAY SCHOOL
CELEBRATION
Will Be Held at Shingle
roof on Friday, July
30, 1909.
To thk Sunday Schools of Henry
County:
Our annnal Celebration will be
held on Friday, July 30, 1900, at
Shingleroof Camp Ground. All
Sunday schools ih the county arc
cordially invited to come and take
a part in the exercises.
The exercises will begin prompt
ly at 10 o’clock, a. m. As such a
long time is required for the sing
ing for the banner by all the
schools, the? general plan of the
program will be as follows :
All recitations by representa
tives of the different schools will
be in'tlie morning and none at all
in the afternoon.
The singing for the banners will
be in the afternoon, and the old
rule of only two songs by each
school will be strictly observed.
One song by each school as a
whole, and one by the children of
each school.
Both these rules will be strictly
enforced.
The program in full detail will
be published later in this paper.
An excellent speaker will deliver
the address, and all who pome will
enjoy a treat in the program.
The regular dues of one dollar
for each school are due on the day
of the celebration, and all schools
are requested to bring their dues
with them and pay same on the
day of the celebration to W. W.
Milam or to E. M. Copeland. This
is very important, as the expenses
of the celebration have to be paid
out of these dues. Last year less
than one-half of the twenty-eight
schools which are members of the
association paid their dues, and
the officers had to pay the dues of
the other schools for them.
Yours for His worKx
R. C. Brown, President.
Frank Reagan, Sec -Treas.
W. W. Milam, Vice-Pres.

New Telephone Directory
Out.
The new directory of the South
ern Bell Telephone Company is be
ing delivered today to the sub
scribers at McDonough hv Mana
ger J. G. Ward.
It is attractive, in appearance and
contains all the changes and cor
rections in listings that have been
made since the last directory was
printed.
The number of new names ap
pearing in the new list would indi
cate that there ire constant addi
tions to the number of subscribers
in McDonough and vicinity, and
the telephone development is con
tinuous.
The Southern Bell Company has
evolved a plan whereby it fur
nishes telephone service to farm
ers and other rural residents on an
economical basis. As a result the
telephone, is now, as a rule, rather
than the exception, on tlie farm,
and farmers in all sections of the
state are installing telephones in
their homes.
The plan of the Southern Bell
Company in McDonough is main
tained in a high state of efficiency
and the subscribers are well satis
fied with the service they are re
ceiving.
