Dedication At Eastern Heights
Baptist Church Was Big Success
।
Huge crowd attended all the services, the weather was wonderful
and one of the finest dinners was spread, with the invitation
to all to come forward and help themselves. Never has Ye
Editor seen so much delicious food on one table, and we have
attended many affairs like this during the past sixty years.
Where There's A Will There's A Way
No truer saying has ever been said, and we have always
believed that it was true. On Sunday we saw this fact dem
onstrated, in a fine manner.
For reasons best known to themselves a large number of
a Baptist Church in Statesboro thought it wise to pull out and
start a church to their liking, located where they wanted it
located, and that is what about one hundred of them did, along
with the Pastor of the church in question, they held a meeting
with very little money, but a desire for a church, and believing
that they could build one, and in some way finance it. Just how,
no one semed to know, and we are sure many of these same
people spent many hours on their knees talking to their Lord
about their problem, and while it has required a lot of sweat
toil and sacrifice, we believe that today the Eastern Heights
Baptist Church, located on Hi-way 80 and Cawana Road, which
is about two miles towards Brooklet from Statesboro on Route
80, they have bought and paid for a desirable plot of land con
taining 6 acres, a corner tract of land, they have built the Edu
cational building, and have ten Sunday School Rooms in opera
tion, they have modern rest rooms, the building and Sunday
School room is air conditioned, and they have a wide awake
preacher. Rev. George S. Mikell as their Pastor, whose wife
’ 8 v"^. "" d be a bi * hel <> in thc “"airs of the church.
Ye Editor and the wife were invited to attend the dedication
exercises on Sunday and we went, we were dumb founded to see
e progress that these people have made in such a short time
And while we are talking about the people of that church it
appears to us that most of them are young married couples
many with one two or three little fellows, all nicely dressed and
look equal to those seen in any church anywhere. In fact we
never saw a “bedraggled" looking person in the entire crowd
They were all happy, friendly, appeared glad to see you and
invited us o come hack, and that is just what we are going to
do In fact we plan on going there one night during their first
revival that starts on November Bth, and we are sure that we
will enjoy another visit with these friendly people.

Former Citizen
Writes Letter
About Old Jurors
A few weeks ago we carried
a story about the olden days,
and carried a list of the Grand
Jurors for the November Term
of the Bryan Superior Court
of 1913, 52 years ago. This
week we received a letter from
a subscriber of ours that reads
the paper each week, although
it has been many years since
he lived in Pembroke. We are
printing the letter so that our
other friends can see what he
has to say, which we think is
very interesting;
The letter is as follows;

Mr. F. O. Miller
Editor of
The Pembroke Journal
Dear Mr. Miller:
In the Journal of October
14 you had a list of the Grand
Jurors for the November Term
of Bryan Superior Court of
1913, yes Mr. I remember all
these men. Mr. J. W. Parrish
was Mrs. J. C. Mikell’s grand
father, and Mr. W. W. Patrick
was her uncle, and let me say
that Mrs. Mikell’s father, Mr.
Jim Parrish was Sheriff of
Bryan County for several terms
and a good one too. Yes, Mr.
Miller if you can find any of
the men in this list of Jurors
that is still living I will be
glad to make a trip to Bryan
County and have a nice long
talk with them, wish you would,
when you have the time, you
would look back through the
miles of the Bryan Enterprise
and dig up some more of the
good old news.
Thanking you for putting out
a fine paper, I look forward;
to it each week.
Your friend,
George Connell

Small Paper
This Week
We more or less apologize
for the size of the paper this
week, only four pages. But
there is always a reason for
most things, one of which was
that advertising was “at a low
ebb" for the week, another was
that the Editor was on the
Grand Jury on Monday which
tied up one of his important
days with the paper, and an
other one is the fact that we
have been as busy as “a bee
in a tar bucket” getting out the
new telephone directory, which
will be available the first of
the coming week, and all in
all it is about the best we could
do with our troubles.
On top of all this the Edi
tor’s wife is taking off Wed
nesday morning to visit her sis
ter in Hollywood, S. C., on ac
count of her daughter just un
dergoing on operation, and
these two sisters have always
been mighty close, and the wife
felt like she had to go.
We hope to be back next
week bigger and better. At
least we are going to try.
