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. , Prof. J. B. Allen’s eye is improving. 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 want of space. Ripples. July 80th. 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- home of the eldest son and daughter of j the people may thoroughly understand the family, to spend their vacation— j this important issue.

Banks, and Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Posey, from Carroll county, visited their parents. Mrs. Jim Jacobs is spending some weeks with relatives in this section.

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. A. Post, J. H. Covin, and Mr. Robert son. It was the good fortune of the writer to fall into the hands of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Bradley. Many thanks to the committee for the elegant and delight ful home provided us while in Carroll ton last week. T. Grand Ratification Barbecue.
