regret the death of
Bro. F. E.
Hindsman, of St. Charles. We had
known him for many yearn, had labored
with him in the Master’s vineyard, and
was often a guest in his home. His
taking off is not only a sad blow to his
family and friends, but a distinct loss
to his church and to the community.
We extend our sincere condolence to
the bereaved family.
The inclement weather prevented
services at Pleasant Hill church Satur
day and Sunday, although the pastor
was on hand at the appointed hours.
There is much moving among the
tenant class in the Karmdale communi
ty, as well as in other sections of the
county. There is unrest on every side,
and, while many changes are taking
place, conditions will probably remain
the same.
We regret to chronicle the death of
Mr. .las. Hays, which occurred Sunday
afternoon at his home near Standing
Rock. While on a visit to his brothers
in Carrollton n short time since ho con
tracted la grippe, which caused his
death. Deceased was a member of the
Primitive baptist church at Old Beth
el, Meriwether county. He is survived
by his wife and serveral children. The
remains were interred in Bethel ceme
tery, funeral services being conducted
bv Rev. ii. S. Rees. Thus a true and
upright man has passed to a better
world, mourned by all who knew him.
Mr. W. ii. Carimcal went to Barnes-
ville this week, where he has made a
business engagement for the coming
year.
We are glad to welcome to our

Baraca Banquet.
The Baracaa Class of the First Bap
tist church had its second annual ban
quet at the Coweta Cafe Tuesday night
at 8 o’clock. A few minutes after 8
fifty men had reported "ready” to do
yeoman service at the festive board,
and it was a jolly company. Everybody
was in a smiling, expectant and recep
tive attitude - especially towards
“Bre’r Turkey.” that was to be later
the cynosure of all eyeH. The cafe was
tastefully decorated with evergreens
and paper hunting. Its welcome was
very cheery and homelike.
The first thing on the programme
was the Baraca, or old time, camp
meeting hand-shaking. Fifty men
formed themselves into a circle. Then
Mr. Henderson, the teacher of the
class, broke the circle and began to
shake hands, singly, with every man
to his right, followed by the first man
to his right, etc., until he and every
man had made a complete circle and
returned to his original place. It was a
sight pleasing to see--fifty men laugh
ingly, cheeringly, jollily shaking
hands, all at the same time. You
would have thought the occasion was a
picnic, and that everybody had turned
politician and was making "fair weath
er” with evrey member of the family.
The effect was electrical. It put all at
ease and destroyed the last vestige of
formality.
Incidentally the question was pro
pounded. immediately after the hand
shaking, how many times had each
man shaken and been shaken if there
were exactly fifty men in the circle?
Can the reader say?
After the handshaking the caterer
announced that the turkey was ready to
be offered upon the altar of good cheer
and good will among men. Drs. Cates
and Lee stood among the tables and
ushered all to their seats. Grace was
pronounced by our pastor, Rev. J. F.
Singleton, after which Perry’s orches
tra discoursed strains of sweetest mu
sic, all the while savory viands being
served by courses. “The Mocking
Bird,” as a violin solo, was heartily
applauded.
After the inner man had been regaled
came the flow of wit and good cheer,
and feast for the soul. Justice cannot
be done the occasion by trying to re
produce in cold type the warmth and
enthusiasm that exhaled from the
hearts of those who responded to calls
from the master of ceremonies. Rev.
Mr. Singleton was ca led upon first,
and he spoke of the meaning, of the
Christmas Bpirit, the Christ spirit.
Then the master of ceremonies said he
would call upon a man of few words,
also of few inches, but every inch a
man—Dr. John R. Cates. Dr. Cates is
assistant teacher of the class, and just
ly loved by every member for his ster
ling worth and genial disposition.
The next call was upon a leader in
three senses- by the right of being a
Duke ; by the right of his honored name,
Lee; and by the right of having been
selected as chairman of the committee
of arrangements—Dr. Duke Lee. The
thanks of the class were formally and
heartily extended to Dr. Lee for the
magnificent banquet he had planned
and executed to the smallest detail,
like a general would marshal his forces.
Dr. Lee reminded the class that we
had enrolled 215 men since our organi
zation a year ago last September, and
that we needed a new stake to reach—
a new slogan to cry. Happily, Bro.
Singleton suggested, ”300 men for
1910.” It was unanimously adopted,
and the boys pledged their earnest en
deavors to make our enrollment 300
men before the next year should close.
The next call was for a gentleman
who is a man in more senses than one
—Mr. LeRoy Mann—who knows how
to man-age, when it comes to the pre
paration of a banquet. Mr. Mann as
sisted Dr. Lee on the committee of ar
rangements.
Mr. I. N. Orr, sr., responded to a
call as a man interested in everything
for the betterment of mankind, and one
friendly to young men. Mr. Orr spoke
from a heart of love, and his words
were an inspiration to all who heard
him. He received hearty and prolonged
applause.
Mr. E. R. Barrett responded to a call
as the “Doorkeeper” in the Lord’s
house. David said: “I had rather be
a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord
than to dwell in the tents of the wicked
forever. ’ ’
The president of the class was next
called upon, as being a hustler for the
welfare of the class and a trusted man
of affairs ai the Central railroad
station—a man who carries the “Cars
well” and sees that, they arrive at their
proper destination—Mr. W. S. Carswell
A man was then called upon who re
joices in the success of the Baraca
movement because it vitally affects for
good the institution over which he pre
sides, and because lte is a young man
himself—Prof. W. L. Strieker. Prof.
Strieker made a telling speech, full of
aot quotations from classic sources.
He said he had seen and felt the
(luence of the Baraca Class on many of
the young men who are students in his
school.
Next the king’s jester was called
udoii to speak in behalf of the absent
members of the Philathea Class, of
which he is assistant teacher—Mr. I.
N. Orr. jr. Mr. Orr facetiously re
marked that he knew he would be asked
to speak at this banquet, and accord
ingly bad prepared a fitting speech :
but that, upon request, he had given
his speech to his father, who had only
a few minutes ago so nobly acquitted
himself. He complimented his father
on his eloquent delivery. Mr. Orr
promised to assist, by his kindly offices,
everv single Baracaite to launch ills
barque unin thy untried sea of matri
mony. (Prolonged applause.)
Mr. Mays, a student of the Southern
School of Telegraphy, responded on
j behalf of the boys of the school. He
j said he was proud of his membership
in the Baraca Class: that the class
brought much joy and happiness into
the lives of the young men, who are
I absent from their homes and loved

Tension is regulated by means of a brass screw turned by the finger only. One turn does the trick.

I. AT. ORR COMAIMV
Don’t give beyond your means. Don’t
give because you think you are expect
ed to give. Don’t give with the hope
that those to whom you give will return
you something of equal value. That
isn’t the Christmas spirit. And the
Christmas spirit is the only spirit that's
worth while at Christmas. To remem
ber the orphan or the pauper is worth
a wagon-load of silks and precious
stones left at the mansions of those
who are able to gratify every wish.
Said a Tift county citizen to a Ga
zette man the other day : “Next year
I predict 8-cent cotton, many broke
merchants, and farmers in debt. There
is much reckless buying, and. despite
our big crop, much of it is on credit. If
a heavy crop of cotton next year forces
the price down, there will be trouble.”
We hope he is mistaken.—Tifton Ga
zette.
When the doctor dismisses a case p as
cured, he has a right to say, “Well
dore. ”

total area of the world is capable of
