We are ex pecting Rev. R. L. Bolton, pastor at Madison, Ga., to do the preach ing and Brother Ben S, Thompson, a member of brother Bolton’s church and chairman of the Lay men’s Executive Committee of the Georgia Baptist Convention, to lead the singing. This series of meetings thus scheduled will make the last week in April one of un usual interest and importance to the people of McDonough as it will include the time-honored me morial exercises under the auspices of the U. I). C. chapter, as an nounced last week for Tuesday, the 26th, and the Flint River S. S. Convention previously announced for Wednesday and Thursday, the 27th and 28th. But there will be no real conflict in the order of exercises during these extra days as we hope to so arrange daily programs that each will contribute in interest to the other until the protracted services will have ex clusive control and be continued at least ten days. lam sure our people will greatly enjoy the serv ices of this gifted preacher and earnest worker for the salvation of souls and this concecrated lay man whose splendid powers have been devoted to the Lord’s cause. I consider that we are fortunate in securing these men to lead us in these meetings. Let us make every preparation for their coming* Most earnestly would I plead with my own people to make adequate preparations for the entertainment of the S. S. Convention for two days and “to make ready” for the coming of “Him Whose we are and Whom we serve.” "No great er blessing could be ours than a genuine revival of religion in our midst. To this end we most cor dially invite the co-operation of everybody and specially ask an in terest in the prayers of God’s people. Further announcements will be made at next Sunday’s services to which all are invited. W. W. Arnold, Pastor. TAX RECEIVER’S NOTICE LAST ROUND. APRIL 20 Tussahaw court house, 8 a. m* Ola, 10 a. m.
