Mr. Editor:—Mr. William Hyde, son
of Mrs. Martha Lin Hyde, died at his
home in Brown county, Texas, about
three weeks ago, aged 41 years. He
was raised in this community and was
one of the best of men; being a dutiful
•on, a kind husband and father, and a
consistent member of the church. He
leaves a wife and two children to
mourn his loss; to these we tender our
condolence.
We now come to the sad and lament
ed death of Willie W. Hyde, youngest
son of John and Susan Hyde, df this
vicinity. Deceased lived in the town
of Tallapeosa, Haralson county, Geor
gia. Some three weeks ago he was
seized with typhoid fever, and on last
Thursday evening, July 26th, his spirit
took its everlasting flight to the regions
of the blest. His lemains, at his own
request, were brought to this commu
nity for interment, and laid to rest in
the graveyard at Macedonia. He was
a noble and dutiful son, and an exem
plary member of the Baptist church.
At death he was just entering his 22d
year, and leaves a wife and child, an
aged father and two brothers, to mourn
his death. May God soothe and soften
their sad affliction. The sympathies of
the whole community are with the be
reaved ones.
I now, in tears and grief, come to the
painful task of recording the death of
one of the grandest and most queenly
women that ever lived in this world
—Mrs. Matilda Benton—which occurred
at Mr. J. H. Hyde’s last Sabbath even
ing, at 11 o’clock. A few days ago she
was taken violently ill and continued
to grow worse up to her death. Her
husband died while she was yet a
young woman, leaving her with six
children and without a home. By the
use of her spinning wheel and loom she
labored hard, working day and night,
often entering the field to obtain bread
for her little ones. God blessed her
efforts, and in a few years she was en
abled to buy a home and sixty acres of
land, which she and her children tilled
She gave her children a limited educa
tion; they grew up and married off. At
her death she was possessed of one
hundred acres of good land, and had
•several hundred dollars loaned at in
terest. She always dressed in home-
spun cloth, principally made by her
own hands; always raised her own meat
and bread at home. Although she
never connected herself with the
church, her life and walk were orderly,
and would put to shame many who pro
fess to be Christians. All loved and
respected Grandma Benton. But she
is gone “where the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are at rest.
Her remains were interred at Macedo
nia on Monday evening in the presence
of a large assembly of friends.
, Quite a severe hail storm passed
through the vicinity o£ Roscoe about 4
v o’clock P. m., last Friday, covering an
area of five lots of land. Crops are se
riously damaged; cotton is entirely
stripped of foliage and will not make a
fourth of a crop. Mr. J. C. Sewell is
damaged twenty bales; Mr. J. W. Sew
ell says he is damaged four-fifths; Mr.
A. J. Sewell about the same; Mr. J. W.
Dukes and Messrs. G. H. and J. C. San
ders, Dr. J. Starr, Mr. L. Mullens and
others sustained great loss. The cloud
„£ame from a southwesterly direction,
going northeast, then turned and came
back over the same path, making double
destruction.

Miss Julia Harris, of Turin, is visiting
in Roscoe.
The Chattahoochee Singing Conven
tion convenes at Macedonia on next
Thursday. The editor of The Herald
and Advertiser is especially invited.
Some of the best musicians of the land
will be present. Such men as A. Ogle-
tree of Spalding, J. A. Chambers of
. Clayton, the Densons of Alabama, and
other fine vocalists are expected.
I have to leave out some items for

Notes from Old McIntosh.
Mr. Editor:—The event of great
est interest in this community, since
reunion day, was the lawn party at Mr.
A John Bailey’s, on the evening of Mon
day, the 23d inst. The grounds were
lieautifully lighted with Japanese lan
terns, ' which were suspended at fre
quent intervals among the shrubbery,
revealing the graceful forms and bright
Jaces of the participants; though later
in the evening the moon, in her full,
rising high above the seeue, banished
the need of artificial illumination and
invested all things with the matchless
and irresistible charm that her light
alone can give. Promenading and con
versation occupied the hours until 10
o’clock, when all were invited to par
take of the elegant refreshments that
had been prepared and spread on ta
bles among the shrubbery. Luscious
fruits, of every tempting and delicious
■ ariety, composed the menu, and the
happy throng did full justice to the
sumptuous feast. Supper over, the
stream of gay conversation resumed its
flow, now placidly, in discussing ordi
nary themes; now “bubbling with laugh-

BROKEN WATCHES
L&Grange District Conference
Was held in Carrollton, and the repu
tation of that plucky little city for cor
dial hospitality was fully sustained in
entertaining the conference. The con
ference was presided over by the pre
siding elder, Rev. T. F. Pierce. The
business and devotional exercises of the
meeting moved along with promptness
and in the finest spirit. Bro. Pierce is
so much like his brother, the lamented
Bishop, that we felt like we were being
presided over by a Bishop. Dr. W. A.
Candler was there, representing Emory
College, and succeeded in raising $500
for the Loan Fund Association of Em
ory College. The sermons preached by
Revs. P. A. Heard, W. T. Bell, J. R.
Parker, Dr^ Candler, and W. R. Foote,
had the old-time ring, and were accom
panied with the power and demonstra
tion of the Holy Spirit. Mr. John F.
Hendrix, the organist and sweet singer,
was with us, and in his happiest mood,
blessing and melting the hearts of the
entire congregation. God bless Bro.
Hendrix! He is doing great good by
singing the Gospel.
The presence of that venerable old
father in Israel, Uncle Clayton Trus-
sell, was a benediction to the confer
ence. He is eighty-eight years old and
as full of religion as his precious old
humanity can hold, rejoicing all the
time in the hope of soon being at rest
in heaven.
The church building at Carrollton is
a very pretty, commodious, and com
fortable edifice, and is presided over by
the sweet-spirited Rev. A. M. Thigpen.
Everybody loves Bro. “Sandy.”
The Newnan church was represented
by Rev, W. R. Foote, Y. H. Thompson,
J. I. Scroggin, and J. E. Dent.
West Point was selected as the place
of meeting for the next District Con
ference.
The following were elected to repre
sent the LaGrange District in the An
nual Conference which meets Dec. 5th,
in Milledgeville: W. TV. Turner, W.
