eli of the Columbus district was called
first. Af er Mrs, Mitehell’s report sev.
eral of her societies reported and gave
some excellent plans of wo;% Masier
Ernest Philips of St. Luke, Colnmbns,
gave such an interesting report of the
juvenile society of ‘that charge that he
was given a rising vote ot thanks by the
conference. Mrs. Huff of Epworth
chuich caught the attention of the au
dience wher she told how she ccadusted
a society for several months with an aver
age attendance of one. But she said it
was a source of gratification to be able
to report that their society had greatly
increased in numbers, interest and at
‘tendance.
- I'be day was closed with an elecant
reception in the evening at the residence
of Pr. W, B. Cheatham. The yard and
spacious mapsion were filled with a
bright, bhappy-hearted, intelligent com
pany, who enjoyed themseclves chatting
socially and making new acquaintances,

sociai featurs heightened. This sociul
entertainment will long be remembered
by those who attended.

Sunday was a great day in Dawson.
Interest centered in the church trom the
early morning hour until the close of
the evening hour. Many visitors attend
ed the Sunday school, and the rervices
of the school were of unusual interest.
At 11 o’clock an immense throng filled
the main body of the churcn and the
lecture room, and chairs were placed in
the aisles. The occasion was the an
nual serm n to the Woman’s Foreign
Missionary Society by Dr. 4. H. Seruggs
of Savannah, former pastor of the Daw
son church. Dr. Scrazgs took for a
text Acts 1. 8. It would be unfair to
attempt a brief synopsis of the sermon,
It was plawn, praecticii, strong, vigorous,
gospel preaching, and was greatly en
joyed by the vast ¢ ngregation. The
music by the choir was of unusually
bigh order and was excellentiy rendered.
The congregariounal singing was notice
ably good. With the many v ices it
swelled until the arches rang with the
glad, free, universal gospel.
Enough for each, en)ugb for all,
Enough torever more.
In the afternoon at 4:30 there was a
mass meeting for the zhildren. Ad
dresses were made by Miss Helen Rich
ardson of Shanghai, China, and Kat,

tainment,

crowded to its utmost capacity to hear
Mi¢s Richardson on China. She is a
missionary to the Celestial Empire, a
teacher in the MecTyeire school, and
gave a very grapbic description of the
condition of China, and the work that is
being done by the schools under the
managemwent of the woman's board,

half of the Klopton charity school. This
is the school assigned to the south Geur

NOTES ABOUT NEIGHBORS.
The Blakely Observer thinks it is no
wonder it doesn’t rain in and about that
bailiwick, and gives this reason why:
“There are five men engaged in newspa
per work in Blakely and not one of thiem
is connected with any church; of five
practicing physicians located here only
one is a member of a church and he isn’t
overly pious; and of all our county offi
cers, 80 says our informant, only one’s
name is on a church book. The praying
membership of all the churclies combin
ed could not carry on a three days’
prayer meeting, just to call on each
member to pray oue time.’’
John Bailey and Jesse Handy, the two
negroes who were gouvictud in Calboun
superior court of assassinating Mr, Jul
ian King, have keen granted a new trial
by the supreme court.” These are the
negroes who wero contined in the
Terrell jail for safe-keeping, and carried
to Morgan under protection of the Daw
son Guards at the time of the trial.
Col, R. F. Crittenden, the gen:al and
affable citizen of Sheliman, has two Bons
in-law who are nominees for the legis
lature, Col. W. T. Lane, one cf the two
representatives from Sumter county, and
Mr., John M. Wooten from Calhoun
county. The colonel is perhaps the only
man in Georgia who will haye two sons
