The funeral of Mrs. W. I.

The funeral was largely at tended, and the beautiful tloral offer- ings fully attested the esteem in which she was held by her church and com munity. Services were conducted by her pustor. Rev. ,1. G. Davis, assisted by the writer. The bereaved relatives have our sympathy. Judging from the number of Sunday singings these days it would appear that the land is vocal with music, and that there is no need of singing evange lists in these pnrts. Yet hundreds of ihose who attend these singingB rarely sing at regular church services, where the music is usually conducted by a few singers, who make their own selec tions. Perhaps the reason here stated explains why so few people sing in church, and also why Sunday singings arn so eagerly sought by the young peo ple. As a rule preachers are opposed to these Sunday singings; hut, in our judgment, they are at fault in not en eouraging the young people of their congregations to sing. Teachers of singing schools these times are fre quently laughed ai Many of the old songs that the saints of long ago were accustomed to sing have been rele gated as too old-fashioned, while more modern songs have been substituted by “progressive" teachers —hut without improving the service. Many of the old things are best, and vocal music is one of them. In a drunken negro row near Bethel church, (colored,) Fayette county, on Friday night last.

On Thursday next, at 10 a. m.. there will be a meeting of the farmers of Coweta in Newnan to hear discussed by experts plans and methods for con ducting the fight against the boll wee vil, which has already appeared in this county. The meeting will be addressed by State Entomologist Worsham, who will tell what must be done to prevent serious damage by the boll weevil. A representative of the U. S. Agricul tural Extension Bureau will speak on ‘Crop Diversification, ” and an official of the State Department of Agriculture will discuss live stock as an important industry in the South. At this meet ing instruction work will be framed to apply both to the farmers and the busi ness men, and they are expected to be equally interested in it. The campaign against the boll wee vil in Georgia has been carefully ilanned, and will he as thorough as the xtate Board of Entomology and the State Department of Agriculture can make it. The State Entomologist gives the encouraging assurance that while there is much work to be done to ward off the damage that must other wise result from the boll weevil in vasion. there is no reason for grave alarm if the farmers and business men will earnestly eo-operate to fight the pest, and that Georgia may continue to make money raising cotton. However, a due regard for the threatened danger and eternal vigilance will he necessary if this is to be accomplished. Don’t forget the meeting next Thursday. Coweta Delegation Confers With Commissioner Price. A delegation of business men and farmers appeared before Commissioner of Agriculture Brice on Monday last and made an appeal for a relaxation of the quarantine order against the ship ment of cotton seed from Newnan and other points in the county to Atlanta. The quarantine went into effect on Fri day last, following the announced dis covery by the Assistant State Entomol ogist of boll weevil in this county. It was shown that several hundred tons of seed had been accummulated by inde pendent buyers at this point before the quarantine order was made public, and buyers faced a possible loss unless per mitted to ship the stock of seed on hand. A simdar plea was made at the hearing by a large delegation from Car roll county, which is also in the quaran tine zone. Commissioner Price ex pressed a willingness to do everything in his power not contrary to law to re lieve the situation, and, after confer ring with State Entomologist Warsham he ruled that all seed purchased prior to Sept. 17, and yet on hand on that date, might be forwarded to their des tination. Meanwhile, the Commissioner stated, he would have Fulton county thoroughly inspected this week, and if boll weevil should be found in that ter ritory there would of course be no further inhibition against the shipment of cotton seed to Atlanta. The mem bers of the delegation were pleased at the friendly reception accorded them, and fully appreciated the concession granted in permitting the shipments re ferred to.

C, HALL MERCHANDISE COMPANY “The Store That Underbuys,” City Delivery Service Not to Be Dis turbed For the Present The report circulated that the city delivery service would be revised and rearranged on Oct. 1 in a manner that would eliminate two city carriers and put upon rural carriers the duty of performing a large part of the city service, was true. I am rejoiced to state, however, that the order referred to has been suspended by the Bostoffice Department for the present, and will not become effective until Jan. 1, 1919. Congressman Adamson was advised of the changes proposed, and of the hard ships that would be brought upon the postoffice and its patrons. He imme diately proceeded to Washington, and in his masterly way presented the matter to the P. O'. Department, with the re sult that the present efficient service will be continued. Therefore, no per son now connected with the service will be disturbed in bis position. We are to be congratulated upon having a Con- 1 gressman who looks after the interests of his people and section as faithfully city's supply, the remaining Ip percent, as does Judge Adamson, being branch water, a sample of which j S.
