: OBSERVER : McDonough is one of the best little towns in the state, is full of good folks, and all that keeps it from growing in numbers is that there are no more houses to live in. There has never been such a demand fur houses as now, with iione to be had. A few Sundays ago Nat Nabors’ page in the Atlanta Journal repro duced Observer’s column, and the puzzling problem to us was, whether he was complimenting us or not, but it matters not to us what he meant. We are glad to .say that Observer is back on the job and we hope to be able to •come every week. A burglar entered the residence of Mr. J. A. Mickle, who lives near the Southern depot in McDon ough last Thursday afternoon, and among the articles taken were Mr. Mickle’s bank deposit book and life insurance policy. It was a bold theft and officers are making every effort to capture the guilty party, who deserves severe pun ishment. Bethany church has just closed a successful revival, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Walter F. Pate. One member was added to the church by experience, and the ordinance of baptism will be ad ministered on the fourth Sunday morning. Bro. Pate is a strong, forcible speaker, and delivered some powerful sermons during the services. He is an able bible student and one of the state’s coming men who is going to be a strong factor in the religious world. In last Sunday’s issue of the Atlanta Georgian there appeared several very interesting cartoons from the pen of Ray McGill, who is now connected with the staff of that paper. The young man is a nephew of our esteemed editor, J. A Fouche, of The Weekly, and has been a regular visitor to Mc- Donough from his early boyhood days, and his many friends here are indeed glad to know of his success. He is possessed with a rare gift and is already one of the feading cartoonists of the United States. Salem church has just recently closed one of the best revivals ever held at that place, conducted by Rev. J. H. Cowart of Stone Mountain. At the close of the services the church, as an appreci ation of the labor of their pastor, made him a free will offering of about $75.00. Bro. Cowart conducted a revi val at Hapeville last week, when fifty-six were added to the mem beiship of the church by experi ence. He is one of the leading ministers of the state and is hav ing wonderful success. In the eighth chapter of Deute ronimy there is a most wonderful description of the Promised Land, the land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees; the land whose stones are iron, and of whose hills thou mayest dig brass; the land in which none lack for any thing. This description admirably fits this fair Southland of ours today. For it is indeed a good land, which is being blessed by the Almighty, and the people right here in Henry county have never seen such prosperous times. But in the same chapter there is a terrible warning from God that if, when the people had eaten their full, and built goodly houses, and their flocks had multiplied, and their silver and gold had multiplied, and that if they failed to remember that it was God that Mr. Tom Treadwell Passes to Reward. Mr. Thomas J. Treadwell breath ed his last at the home of Rey. E. Oglesby in McDonough on Mon day afternoon last. Mr. Treadwell was 84 years of age in January last, and had been living with Mr. Oglesby for some time past. He was a former citizen of Atlanta, engaging in business there soon after the war, first as a merchant, and later real estate and loans, under the firm name of Tread well, Abbott & Co. Accumulating considerable wealth, Mr. Tread well retired, and with his wife traveled extensively. Sixty years ago he was married to Miss Re becca Moseley of Henry county, his original home. He is survived by his wife, one brother, Mr. W. E. Treadwell of Atlanta, and a niece, Mrs. E. Oglesby of McDon ough. Funeral services were conduc ted from the Baptist church at 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon by his former pastor, Rev. J. J. Steven son of Conyers. Rev. E. Oglesby and Rev. H. C. Emory also made appropriate talks upon the life and character of the deceased, and the remains were laid to rest in McDonough cemetery. gave them the power to get wealthy, they would surely perish. The signs of the times all point to the fact that that prophecy is being fulfilled, and the terrible war just over may be only the beginning of perilous times. Who knows? Glass-Bottomed Bucket. A curious sight at Palermo is to see the fishermen spearing fish by the aid of gl ass-bottomed buckets. There are many corners of the world where fish are speared, hut perhaps the use of the glass-bottomed bucket in this con nection is to be seen only at Palermo.

The biggest rain of the season fell in McDonough between six and seven o’clock Tuesday after noon, accompanied by perhaps the heaviest August hail ever known here. Window panes were brok en in places, stock so frightened as to break loose from hitching places or run with wagons, small shrubbery stripped, etc. Fortu nately, however, the hail area was limited, beginning from about cen ter of the city and getting harder for about a mile and a half north ward. The crops of Messrs. Seab Harkness, Henry Stansell, Will Turner and others in that section were badly damaged. Three dis tinct hard showers gathered one after another, lasting about an hour.
