problem that is confronting the
farmer just now.
What time is it? Greer’s Al

time ?
The camp meeting just recently
closed at old Shingleroof camp
ground was one of the best held i
in years. As “Observer” sat there
on Thursday night and listened to
an old-time camp meeting sermon
by Rev. Sherman England and the
hearty old time “amens” in re
sponse to his sermon. It vividly
recalled to our minds the camp
meetings of long ago, and if The
Weekly will permit us, in the near
future we want to give a sketch
of the old-times at Shingleroof as
we saw it.
All of this talk about moving
the state capitol from Atlanta to
Macon is just simply useless, and
any legislature that consumes time
talking about it is just killing time.
But if the state capitol has got to
be moved anyhow, “Uncle Wes”
Harper suggests that it be moved
to McDonough, for he says that
from the large amount of business
and traffic that is being done in
our live town demands that we
have it, if it is to be moved any
how.

one Sunday School, and in the re
election of Mr. Copeland as its
superintendent, it has at its head
one of the best Sunday School
workers in the slate. He is a
consecratec church and Sunday
School worker, and if you want
to see a live Sunday School, come
to the McDonough Baptist church.
