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 a 'pt of the old veterans who attended the reunion— b. I). Brewster, H.

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. Thos. R. Sweatmon.

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.” J. H. Blackwell, 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- corder. 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. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Ragsdale and little granddaughter, Gena Neely, visited relatives in Atlanta this week Mrs. J. B.
