From that date the Gridin Public schools will begin to make his tory. The New Church. The building committee for the new M. E. church met at the parsonage Monday night, and we feel safe in say ing that the new budding is now at as sured fact. However, it will yet require much earnest work, and the committee have settled down to it with a confident de termination that cannot fail to succeed. Each one is filled with a spirit of en couragement. Several hundred dol lars have been added to the subscrip tion list within the last eight or ten days, and only a few hundred dollars remain to be raised. In order to’ac-j complish this some more active canvas- j sing will be done. It is the earnest desire of the com mittee that everybody, young or old, have an interest in this work, no mat ter how small. Put at least a nail in the building —all will help. And it will help all who contribute, no matter in what way, doing good and no possi- ■ ble harm. But one ptfrpose actuate all interes ted, and that is to build the church in the most practical aud satisfactory way. It is useless to urge the matter —all are aware of its importance, and it affords us much pleasure to note that our people are determined in the effort to build the church, which will be un der way before much longer. A proposition is under consideration to locate the new building where the old shanties now stand on the east side of the public square. Mr. Paul Tur ner having generously offered to donate a lot there for it. . This, with the sale of the old building and lot, would add quite a snug sum to the. building fund, and it may possibly go there. Help the new church. It will do you good. It will do others good. It will do all good. iMi,i« < i Dr. L. A. Folsom, of Hampton, is prepared to treat and cure you of any case of piles, whether itching, bleeding or blind, without pain or cutting, aud nodetention from business.

Deputy Sheriff Sullivan went down to Macon last week and returned with Henry Spivey, colored, who was wanted here for assault will intent to murder. On the first of March he is charged with having shot at Mabry Maxwell, another • negro, which missed him and struck Ella Bailey, a negro woman. After the shooting Spivey went to Macon and was work ing for the East Tennessee road when arrested. A Happy Day. Neatly everybody attended the meet ing of the Henry County Sunday School Association at Sliingleroof camp ground last Saturday. That is to say, everybody who was uot sick, or who was not entirely too busy to go went—and everybody who was there enjoyed it. That it was one of the best meetings the Association has ever held, we be lieve is the general verdict of those who attended. By 9 o’clock the grounds were well filled with people, aud they continued to arrive until noon, making one of the largest crowds ever gathered at one of these meetings. Col. Nolan’s welcome address was a gem of oratory, filled with brilliant thoughts aud beautifully rounded pe riods, and as usual his hearers were charmed with his exquisite word-paint ing from beginning to end. Governor Northen filled hisappoint nient and delivered a most excellent address. His remarks were well chosen, and thoroughly sustained the . Gover nor's reputation as a profound thinker and true Christian gentleman. He is an impressive speaker and those who heard him were well repaid for their interest. Some good singing was enjoyed du ring the day. There were no prizes offered this year, but the schools par ticipating acquitted themselves very creditably indeed. All did well, but we believe it was generally conceded that the Locust Grove school, led by Mr. Andrew Combs, bore off the palm for excellence and purity of mu sic. Flippen had a very full atten dance and attracted much admira tion. In short, the meetmg of the Henry County Sunday School Association for 1891 was a most successful one, and will be pleasantly remembered by the large crowd in attendance. Mr. Dan Ward, the president, de serves much credit for the excellent mautier in which he conducted the ex ercises. Chickainauga Encampment. Some one suggested the other day that a party of McDonoughites be made up to attend the military encampment at Chickamauga in June, as the trip would be a very enjoyable one, especially to some of the old soldiers who are acquainted with these historic grounds. A spirited contest lietween the Cen tral and East Tennessee roads, for the transportation of the Second Georgia Hcgiment, was ended in Macon a few days ago in favor of the latter, and two special trains carrying the soldiers will pass here on the night of the 21st of June. The distance from Macon to Cbiek atnauga by the East Tennessee is 226 miles. The distance by the Central via Griffin, Carrollton and Rome, or Atlanta, Kingston and Home, is, by a strange coincidence, 217 1-10 miles either way. There is a difference of twenty 01 e and one-tei.th miles in fa vor of the East Teunessee. The East Tennessee proposes to take the regi ment in two sections of twelve hand some l’ullman sleepers from Macon to Chickamauga without change of cars. There will only be one change of en gines, and that will l>o at Home. There will be no stops except for fuel and one stop at McDonough, whero the Go it I'm and Forsyth companies will get ‘on The run will bo made at the rate of twentydive miles per hour. The train will leave Macon at 12:30 on the night of .June 21st, and reach Chickamauga the next morning at 0 o’clock. Disturbing I’ullc Worship. The most aggravated case of dis turbing public worship, according to report, that ever occurred in this coun ty was witnessed at Jenkiusburg last Satuiday. Two young men by the uame of Cray, citizens of Jenkiusburg, while intoxicated, went to the church where llev. Mr. Kaks was discoursing a sermon and interrupted him with hideous yells and profane language, calling upon the preacher, with oaths, to pray for*thetn and all the G— d— sinners around Jenkiusburg. So dis turbed and outraged was the minister that he was forced to abandon the pul pit and dismissed his congregation. The marshal of Jenkiusburg summoned help and jugged the hoys, but the little calaboose proved insufficient- to hold them, and they were brought to Jack son and given a cell in the county jail. They were arraigned beforo the Coun ty Judge aud demanded indictment by the grand jury, and were bound over under a bond, each, of if2oo to await the action of the grand jury.—Jackson News. “A stitch in time saves nine," and if you take Hood’s Sarsaparilla now it may save months of future possible sickness.
