The annual all day singing in the old Sacred Harp was held at the court house last Sunday. A good crowd was in attendance, anu in the afternoon the court house was filled to overflowing. A number of leaders were present among whom was that old song leader, Prof. T. B. Newton, who is 81 years of age, but who is still as full of life and vigor as a sixteen year old boy. It was indeed a Henry county singing, as only two leaders were present outside the county. Mr. I. P. Rosser was re elected chairman, J. I. King vice chairman and Deputy Sheriff Tin gle secretary. The arranging was composed of J. B. Brown, J. M. Jinks and C. J. Dickson. A com mittee consisting of Ordinary A. G. Harris, E. M. Copeland and J. B. Brown were apDointed to ar range for the next session. Much credit is due to the court house officials, Ordinary A. G, Harris, Clerk H. C. Hightower, Sheriff Ward and Deputy Sheriff Tingle for their aid and assistance, as the success of the convention was largely due to the efforts put forth by them. It was a big day for the old time music, and it was a general remark that it was the best old time singing ever held in the county. The McDonough fire department deserves the highest praise for the quick work done last week when the alarm was given that the Bond residence in the extreme western part of town was on fire. The fire was fully X mile from the court house, where the fire hose is kept, and the fire had gained considerable headway when the alarm' was given. In exactly 30 minutes from the time the alarm was given, the fire was completely extinguished and the hose disconnected. SCHOOL NEWS.
