IMPORTANT NOTICE TO THE CONTESTANTS. The Henry County Weekly Diamond Ring Contest has grown to such proportions, that the work in connection with the same is greater than the Editor and the present force of The Weekly can well handle. We have therefore had t o se u.assistance, and we have been “fortunate in obtaining the services of Mr. J. M. Williams, of Opelika, Alabama. Mr. Williams is an ex perienced contest man and has conducted many successful con tests for both daily and weekly newspapers. He will, as far as ; possible, call in person o n each contestant and assist him or her in any way he can. - New contestants can enter the race at any time by applying t o him or the undersigned in person or by letter, or to The Weekly of fice. Mr. J. M. Williams is authorized to collect for subscriptions from subscribers and from contestants, for which he will issue to sub scribers the regular Weekly re ceipt and to the contestants. the regular Weekly vote, which shows the amount collected and the num ber of votes which such payment gives the contestant. On next Mondy, the 7th instant a ballot box will be conveniently placed in the front part of Th e Weekly office, which will be se curely locked, bnt will contain an opening like a mail box, large enough for the ballots to be drop ped into it. From and after Mon day, all votes, whether cut from The Weekly or issued for money turned in must be dropped into this box. The count for each week's pub lished standing will be outained from the box, and such coun 1 x ill be added to the number of votes already made by such contestant. The contestant can deposit the votes in the box whenever she wishes, or mail them to us and let us deposit them for her. Yours Respectfully, FRA* K REAGAN, Editor and Publisher. “Blessings on You!” Many men have used the above words, and many have used them sincerely. But never have they seemed to us so impressive, noi so to bring the presence of the Comforter m the person upon whom they were pronounced, as when we have hear ! them occa sionally spoken from the pulpit by the man of God who for four years has served one o f our churches. By the law of Methodism, which falls inexorably upon all, McDon ough Circuit and our town must soon part with the Rev. J. E. Eng land; for the November Confer ence must send him to other harv est fields, the four years which a minister may spend in one charge expiring at that time. His departure will be regretted by our people of every denomina tion and of every class, for he has entered into the very hearts of us all and all have learned to love and honor him. This dew-at mn possesses i rare personality indeed. Power ful in the pulpit, in daily life he lias been no less powerful, and the latter has been without noise. So quiet and unassu ni ig, has been his daily walk, th it its influ ence demonstates the power cl the silent forces. It is not often that such stronp convictions as thos • possessing and controlling him and known ol all men actuate a life so gentle and quiet. Those words so f nely p nned Ly Mirabean Lamar of a Texas “Soldier of the Cross” fitly de scribe this soldier in the army of the Prince of Peace: ‘•I go, I go to break the chains That bind the erring mind, And give the freedom that I feel, To all of human kind; But oh, I wear no burnished steel, And seek no gory field; My weapon is the Won! of God, His promise Is my shield.” Could we bring down upon him the very presence of the Spirit himself as Brother England often has seemed to do in speaking of others departing from our midst, we would seek for him to the utmost the fullness of alb the meaning that lies in the words: “Blessings on you Brother Eng land.” Wherever you go, our love and prayers go with you!
