The management of the Avon
Indian Dairy Farm expect to make

Orphans’ Home Work Day.
There is perhaps no institution
of the church more deserving than
the Orphans’ Home.
The home of the Methodist
church, at Decatur, Superintended
by Rev. and Mrs. C. A. Jamison,
with Rev. H.L. Crumbley as agent,
is doing a great work.
It furnishes not only a home for
homeless children left orphans,
but through its agency many chil¬
dren have been adopted into good
homes.
October 3rd, next Saturday, is
recognised as Work Day for the
Home. Its purpose is to interest
children who have homes, with
their parents through the Sunday
School ior the proceeds of one
day’s work for this spedial worthy
cause.
The Sunday School is made the
channel for conveying the earning
of one day, not for children oulf,
but all who will cooperate with
them in giving help to the insti¬
tution.
Next Sunday morning at the
Methodist church the Sunday
School will give an interesting pro¬
gram, and the work day offering
wib be called lor by classes. Those
who may not be directly and ac¬
tively connected with the school
it is hoped will encourage the Su
perintendaot, and the school, chil¬
dren and all, with your presence
Sunday morning, and an offering.
Yours for the Orphans,
H. M. QuiIlian.

pot was quite a success. Miss Me¬
lick and those who took part in
the play are being warmly con¬
gratulated upon their achieve¬
ments. No play which has been
presented in Madison was better,
and more appreciated, than this.

“Cleaning Up Day.”
* »
Wei are glad to see ‘'cleaning up
observed by some,
it is only a small beginning of
what ought to be done. It would
be interesting, and progressive in
the right direction, to see the
trashey papers in front at d bellied
the stores end homes and on tl e
streets, raked up into piles and
burned. Some people do not, or
will not, see trash and dirt. Won¬
der if it is any reflection on their
raising? Atlanta and other cities
are waking up cn this subject.
For a “City Beautiful”, it must
be first clean. We hate to admit
it, but it is a fact, that the Yan¬
kees keep their towns and cities
very much cleaner than the South¬
ern people do. +**
