County News Items Interesting Facts Gathered During the Week by Our Regular Correspondents. 5 TURIN. We attended the district meeting at Ebenezer church Friday and Saturday. Devotional services on the first day were conducted by Bro. W. T. Arnall, of Senoia. At. 11a. m. the introduc- j tory sermon was preached by Rev. J. j F. Singleton, of Newnan. A recess was then taken, when a splendid dinner was served on the grounds—such a din ner as the hospitable people of this community know so well how to pre pare. In the afternoon the people re assembled, when Rev. R. M. Stevens, pastor of the church, was chosen mod erator, and Mr. A. C. Royeton clerk, after which the body proceeded to bus iness. Under the rotation plan the ses sion of the Western Baptist Associa tion comes to the fourth district next year, and the Central church of New nan having made a written request for the meeting, it was unanimously granted. Haralson church asked for the district meeting in 1910, and this was also granted. Rev. Chas. E. Hitt, of Senoia, was named to preach the in troductory sermon, and Rev. J. S. Hardaway, of Newnan, as alternate. Devotional services on Saturday morn ing were conducted by Bro. Snell, and at 11 a. m. Dr. J. S. Hardaway, of Newnan, preached a strong sermon on "The Lordship of God.’’ After the ser mon a collection was taken for the ben efit of Ebenezer church, to be applied as the church may see proper to do, and the sum of $12.50 was raised. Din ner was again served on the grounds, and in the greatest abundance. At 2 p. m. a forceful sermon was preached by Rev. W. A. Davis, of Senoia. Sat urday morning Mrs. R. N. Cole, of Newnan, held a woman’s missionary rally in the school-house, which proved an inspiration to all who took part in it. An incident of the meeting was a general collection for the benefit of Rev. Joe Leavcll, a venerable colored divine, and a sum was raised that greatly cheered the heart of this faith ful old "brother in black,” demonstra ting to the world that, after all, the Southern people are the black man s best friend. After a general handshak ing the meeting closed, with praver by Rev. J. F. Singleton, of Newnan. On Sunday last the writer and bis good wife paid a visit to Mrs. R. II. Woods, at Brooks Station.

Mary Ray Memorial School. The fall term of Mary Ray Memorial School begins Sept. (5. Through the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Shed- den this institution was erected in 1908 and immediately turned over to the people of Raymond without cost to them. The first term of the school opened Sent. 7, 1908, with an attend ance of 110 pupils. During almost the entire school year there was a regular increase in attendance, making the en rollment at the close (54. Realizing that it was for the best interest of the school the district was laid off and lo cal taxation was voted for its support. We were croud, indeed, of the hearty co-operation of the natrons and the en couragement extended us during the past term, and trust the same interest and loyal support may be ours during the coming term. It is very essential that the majority of the pupils be pres ent the first week of school. Our work is progressive, and no pupil attending the soring term alone can do the work of the year satisfactorily Again, the teacher, when crowded with new and untrained pupils, cannot teach as suc cessfully either the old or the new ones. This condition always exists at the time when crowded rooms still further hinder the progress of the. work. Begin with the fall term, if possible, and send your children throughout the school year, that they may go over all the year’s work with the class. It is one of the highest pur poses of this school to lead the child into harmony with Him in whom every man has his being. We believe that the highest duty in which the teacher is involved is to lead the mind of the child to see its relation to the Creator of all things. Let each one of us speak a word of encouragement for the school, and help to make this term one of great educa tional advancement to the children of this district. T. N. McWhorter. Go With a Rush.
