Old Veterans Enjoy a Fine Barbecue.
The editor wan h privileged gui'iit at
the Hnntial Imrbeeue given by themern-
Bera of Coweta Camp, II. C. V.,yeater-
day at Ray Park, anil we are certain
that more solid enjoyment waa never
crowded into a few houra hb wbh evi
denced upon thin oceanion. Forty griz
zled and gray old volt rann anawered the
roll rail, theyoungeat. not a day under OH
years of nge, hut Htill showing thoHame
dauntleBH H|iirit that sustained them
throughout the carnpaignaof one of the
greateHt wars in hiMtory pathetic rem
nant of tho finest arnry of lighters that,
the world has ever known. Hut on this
peaceful September day they gave
themselveH over wholly to the pleasure
of meeting together again with their
comrades of the TJi’h and exchanging
experiences and ruminisccnces of “war
times. “
Before the dinner hour interesting
talks were made by Major W A. Tur
ner, C pt. J. B. Coodwyn, Dr. J. S.
Hardaway, Rev. J. K. Hannah and
Rev. E. C. Smith. The dinner itself
was a sumptuous affair—ft typical Geor
gia barbecue — and served in such
a undance that enough was left to
have fed twice as many people aa had
been summoned to Hie feast. The
cooking of the meats was supervised
by Messrs. Ira Scroggin ami Joe
Brown, nnd all other arrangements
were in their capable hands. That they
lierformod their duties faithfully and
efficiently every person present will
bear cheerful testimony. Following is

That County Singing Convention.
The time has arrived, the day is at
hand, when Coweta county can have a
singing convention. The thing we need
to do is to get up steam and push for
ward. So let’s "hist” a tune and go
into every hill and vale in the county,
making sweet echoes stir the soul of
every man, woman and child among us.
The Groat Divine has given many of
us the talent to sing, and surely He
meant us to use it, else wc would noc
have it. We have been slow to do our
duty in this respect, for many a com
munity has little or no music in it. Of
course, our greatest detriment has been
the lack of organization. We can’t dis
pute this fact. Nothing can progress
very far without some Bystem. This is
very true in the musical world.
Now, some weeks ago we planned to
have an all-day singing at Mt. Carmel
next Sunday, which is the fourth. Soon
we learned that there had been a sing
ing announced at Andrew Chapel for
the same day. We were aiming to or
ganize the convention here, but as the
singing at Andrew Chapel had been pre
viously given out we called oft ours, in
order not to conflict with the other one.
So let’s get together there and perfect
the organization, os friends have invited
us to do. Wo have good men whom we
can elect as officers to make the con
vention a success. They can and will
do it with the greatest pleasure.
Let us organize and build up the
cause of music in every community,
church, Sunday-school ami home in the
county. There iB notan individual that
would not be benefited by coming in
contact with more and better music, for
it’s one of the necessities of life. I hope
the dav isn't far distant when every
literary school will have music taught
aH a part of it’s daily programme. And
we should organize againBt Sunday
frolics, too. I’ve seen those who went
to all-day gatherings for no other pur
pose than to get their dinner and have
what they call "a good time.” This
class of people are not needed at a sing
ing convention, for the object of the oc
casion should bo to aing praises for the
glory of God, and not to desecrate His
holy day.
Meet us next Sunday, ye men who
love and make music, and let’s have a
convention. Tho Lord will upprove it,
if we organize for the good.

Attention, Coweta Fanners!
Yes, indeed, it whs a treat. It was
about 8i miles out of town. I wish it
had been so every farmer in the county
could have seen it. Listen! Here is
how it happened:
Mr. Geo. Smith, aa you know, is one
of tho best farmers in the county. So
last spring Mr. Smith decided he would
have, aH we farmers call it, a “brag
patch” of corn. And he had some
"brag patch” of corn, too. Guess how
much he made, and I’ll tell you if you’re
correct. Mr. Smith has charge of Mr.
Geo. L. Wynn’s farm south of Newnan,
on the Corinth road. He is an overseer.
He oversees, hut does not see over.
Well, you may say that’s funny, but it’s
not “a tall.” His corn is too high. He
knows how to furm, and he is showing
us he knows how; and, man! talk about
raising corn! When it comes to raising
corn that Smith man is right there.
But we’ll get hack to that "brag
patch” of corn. It was one acre;—not
a little over one acre, hut one acre,
measured off with a tape-line. On this
"made to order” acre of ground waa
made one hundred and seventeen bush
els, and live pounds for good measure.
Mr. Smith nas set a good example.
What he has done other farmers in the
county cbp do; and if your name starts
with S, in a few years you will be able
to spell your n me with an S in front,
like Geo. Smith, if Georee keeps grow
ing such good corn. If such be the
case, a few years hence he will be able
to sign his name thus:
“Geo. Smith. Diversifying means
more money for the farmer.”

Demonstration Agent.
The Next Best Thing to the Pine
Forest for Cold is—
Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar-Horey, which goes
to tho very root of cold troubles. It
clears the throat and gives relief from
that dogged and stuffed feeling. The
pines have ever been the friend of man
in driving away colds. Moreover, the
pine-honey qualities are peculiarly
effective in lighting children’s colds
Remember, that a cold broken at the
start greatly removes the possibility of
complications. 25c.
—This is the season of the year when
the sentimental mother appears at the
school-house with her sissy t>oy and tells
the teacher he is very high-spirited, and
must not be whipped; that he can he
ruled by kindness and kisses, etc. And
this is the same time of the year when
the boys in school make a note of what
the moth r of the sissy boy says, and
resolve to beat the sUitiin’ out of ihe
sissy boy as soon as they catch him on
ri-e playground.—Americus Times-Re-

TURIN.
Mr. Wm. Quick, whose illness has
been reported in previous letters, passed
away Saturday afternoon. His re
mains were carried to Bethel church
Sunday morning for funeral and inter
ment. Deceased was 75 years of age,
and a Confederate veteran. He is sur
vived by hiB wife and thirteen children,
besides a number of grandchildren and
great-grandchildren, and two aged sis
ters. Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. J. G. Davis and the writer
We met the good people of Pleasant
Hill church on Saturday and Sunday
last. At a conference of the church
Bros. Chappell and Vollenweider were
chosen aa delegates to the Western As
sociation, which will convene at Green
ville on the second Wednesday in Octo
ber.
Rev. H. S. Rees having decided to
retire from the active work of the min
istry, resigned the pastorate of Pleas
ant Hill church on Sunday last, and
Rev. Wyatt Chandler was chosen to
succeed him.
Owing to the funeral of Mr. Wm.
Quick on Sunday last the semi-annual
singing at Pleasant Hill church was not
so well attended as upon former oc
casions. The exercises were quite in
teresting, however, and much enjoyed.
We dined Sunday at the hospitable
home of ’Squire Todd. He and his
estimable family occupy the former
home of the late Capt. VV. D. Linch. It
is built of rock, and is in a beautiful lo
cation.
On our trip farmers told us that on
account of drouth and rust the cotton
crop would be reduced fully 50 per
cent., and corn but little better.
This boasted "wave of prosperity”
will not help the farmer much.
Mra. W. I. Austin, who has been ill
for the past six weeks, died this morn
ing at the residence of her niece, Mrs.
J. A. Hyde. She will be buried at Old
Tranquil cemetery to-morrow at 11 a
in. Funeral services will be held at
Turin Methodist church, of which she
was a member.
