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.

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.

Hodnet*, wiio was notin the race ! for re-election. 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 A Pair of Celebrated Patent Tension “Easy Cur Shears ARE STRONG MADE GUARANTEED FINE NICKEL FINISH Tension is regulated by means of a brass screw turned by the finger only.

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. ” ” Only five and a half per cent, of the total area of the world is capable of tillage.
