Mr. Editor:- According to appoint
ment the following named ministers
met last Saturday and organized a Bap
tist church at Starr’s mill, viz: Rev. K.
Culpepper, Rev. A. T. Sears, Rev. W.
II. Prichard and Rev. II. S. Rees. The
church organized with twenty-five
members, and the new organization
will proceed at once to erect a house of
worship. By unanimous vote Rev. II.
S. Rees was chosen (and accepted) the
pastorate of the same. A church has
long been needed at Starr’s mill, and
now that this want has been supplied
it is hoped that the same may be a
blessing not only to the present goner-1
ation but to succeeding generations, j
Meeting-days will be tin* third Sabbath i
and Saturday before in each month.
Saturday night last the store of
Messrs. Mitchell (Jay & Sons was brok
en open and ft quantity of goods stolen,
it appears that house-breaking and
robbery are becoming very common
throughout the country, and should bo
stopped, if possible.
Mr. S. T. Elder predicts that unless
more of our young men adopt farming
as their chosen avocat ion the country
cannot long maintain her present con
dition of prosperity. We agree most
heartily with the view here presented,
recognizing as we do the importance of
the agricultural interest to the common
welfare of the country. ,
Parties attendingthe Stale Fair bring
complimentary reports of their visit,
expressing themselves as highly grati-
lied and interested.
The walls of the new brick warehouse
have been finished and made ready for
the roof. In a few weeks the doors
will be thrown open to the public.
Rev. Mr. Duval preached to a full
house last Sabbath at Standing Rock
church.
Mr. Will Pilant left for his home in
Haralson county this week.
Cotton is somewhat thin in the fields
now, and the gins find but little to do.
The fact is, the crop has about “done
its do,” and it is about time now for
prices to bristle up a little.
In a late issue of the Atlanta Consti
tution a speaker in one of the numerous
anti-prohibition meetings is reported
as having said that a minister of the
gospel had no right to make addresses
upon the questit>11 of prohibit ion. Non,
why has not a minister of i he gospel as
much right to speak out on questions
affecting the morals of the people as
those who advocate the side of intem
perance V Intemperance is an evil that
the bible condemns, and it is the
bounden dut y of every minister of the
gospel (and Christians generally) to op
pose this terrible evil with all the earn
estness and power of which they may
be possessed. The devil has always
opposed the ministers of Christ—espe
cially when they attack his most fruit
ful sources of destruction. Cod giant
success to the ministers and good peo-
Zion. It was an occasion long to be re
membered by those who had the pleas
ure of being present. When your cor
respondent arrived he found the crowd
gathered around huge, blazing fires.
At 11 o’clock as many as possible went in
to t he house, where they heard an excel
lent sermon, preached by Rev. Mr. Cars
well, of Hampton. After listening to
the eloquent discourse the large congre
gation was dismissed for dinner; and
we pause right here to remark that the
good people of that communnity can
not be excelled for true and unaffected
hospitality, nor for the delightfulness
of their entertainment. And it was
the best old-fashioned singing that I
ever heard.
Mr. W. II. Albright is quite sick, but
we hope will soon be up again.
Col. F. A. Pierce, of Hogansville,
was here last Saturday on legal busi
ness.
.Mr. Cyrus J. Mathews spent Sunday
with us.
Luthersville has received over five
hundred bales of cotton this season.
This speaks well for our enterprising
little town and shows what we might
do if we had a railroad. And, by the
way, that same railroad is yet cherish
ed as a possible scheme by some of our
leading citizens, who seem to know
what they are talking about, \\ hy

Fourth District.
Mr. Editor:—1 learn that Rev. R. II.
Jackson preached the funeral of Mrs.
J. IT. Summers last Sunday, according
to appointment, to a large and apprecia
tive congregation. It was not my
pleasure to attend; therefore, I am un
able to give any particulars.
The duty of reporting the deaths ot
•our friends and citizens has become
painfully frequent, as is evidenced by
the fact that there were six deaths in
the Fourth district last week, to-wit:
That of Mr. Meriwether, which was re
ported in last week’s paper; that of
Mr. Cortes-Lazenby; that of a pair in
fant twins of Mr. and Mrs. James
Moore: that of old aunt Mary Willcox-
on, colored, as she was familiarly call
ed; and that of an infant of Hilliard
Bonner, colored.
Mr. Cortes Lazenby, a highly es
teemed citizen, died at his mother s on
determination to have it removed. M ith
pie of Atlanta in the struggle recently t j J j s pul -p ose i n view he came to New-
nan about three weeks ago and placed
himself under the treatment of Dr. R.
L. Y.. Long. The tumor was located
under the ear, extending from the
left mastoid process to the clavicle in
length, and in width from the trachea
under the sterno eleido mastoid
muscle, and in depth down to and
surrounding the parvagus nerve, im
mediately under tin* jugular vein and
over the carotid artery. I he pecuiiai
location of the tumor rendered it a
very delicate and exceedingly dangei-
ous operation, but it wasiuost skillfully
and successfully removed, and with but
little pain to the patient, who has so
far recovered as to be able to return
home in just two weeks from the time
the operation was performed—a much
happier and more contented man than
he had ever hoped to be. The opera
tion took place at the residence of I>r.
R. L. Y. Long, and was performed by
Dr. Long. Dr. J. T. Reese, Dr. A. C.
North and Dr. J. T. Moore, the time
occupied being less than one hour.
Why should the people ol' this sec-!
