Perhaps the people do not sing
the old fashioned hymns with the
fervor and spirit that characterized
the singing of our fathers and
grandfathers, but no such charge
can lie preferred against the
preachers of the North Georgia
Conference. They sing the old
songs with spirit and understand

most impressive features of the
Conference.

oldest man and oldest minister in
the North Georgia Conference.

The primary passed without a
disturbing incident. It was prob
ably the most quiet election ever
held in Newnan. The regular
election occurs tomorrow.
In view of the close contest be
tween niraself and Mayor Burdett,
Col. Farmer asked the City Execu
tive Committee for a re-count of
the vote; his plea being that Col.
Burdett’s majority was so small
the count ought to be verified. The
Committee refused to have the
ballots counted again. Col. Farm
er refused to contest the result and
the matter was dropped. The
gentlemen in charge of the pri
mary assert that the count was
absolutely correct and that no er
rors were made.
