County News Items Interesting Facts Gathered During the Week by Our Regular Correspondents. 5 TURIN. Rev. H. S. Rees preached for the people at Rock Spring church on Sat urday and Sunday last, the church lit mg now without a pastor He was ex tended a unanimous call to serve the church during I he remainder of the year, which he accepted. 1 he meeting days are the first Sunday and Saturday before in each month. The next ap pointment will lie the annual meeting of the church, which will lie protracted aevend days. Rock Springs was a place of considerable note in the early days. A boarding-school flourished here, and it was here that the late M. I’. Kellogg taught his first school in Coweta coun ty. Here also Hon. Alexander H. Stephens delivered a commencement address more than fifty years ago, the Great Commoner being then a member of Congress. Some of the pillars of the old academy building are yet. standing. At that period Rock Springs was one ot the wealthiest communities in this section ; but times have changed, and the once large plantations have been cut up into small farms and are now occupied by renters. It was at Rock Springs that Dr. .1. H. Hall, of pre cious memory, preached his last ser mon, the occasion being the dedication of the present Baptist house of wor ship. The main supporters of this church are M. D. Thurmond, B. A. J. Smith, Paul Smith, and others whose names are not, now recalled. On our trip to Rock Springs we noted that not more than one acre in twenty was planted in corn, and much of the cotton was overrun with grass. We should not wonder at the high price of corn and meat when we consider these conditions. The all-cotton folly seems to lie a species of madness, and spells ruin for the Southern farmer. A pleasant night was spent in the home of Bro. M. 1). Thurmond, whose accomplished daughters entertained us with some delightful music. As we passed the beautiful home of the late Capt. J. H. Wynn we recalled with feelings of mingled pleasure and sadness the many enjoyable hours spent under his hospitable roof. Nevermore shall we hear his cheery greeting, hut hope some day to join him in that "house not made with hands,” and dwell with him there forever. The fish-hungry are “troubling the waters” constantly these days, and fish fries are frequent, both day and night.
