Methodist church, conducted by
the pastor, Rev. T. W. Ellis.
Two services are held each day,
beginning at 4 o’clock in the aft«r-
nooo, and 7:80 at night.
The purpose of these meetings
is to induce a revival of religion I
in the church aud among the peo
ple generally. The pastor is with
out assistance in the pulpit, but
many of the members of the
church have promised to do their
full duty, aud it is hoped and trust
ed that all will fill their places in
spirit aud iu truth.
The meetings from the begin
ning, last Monday, have been well
attended, and the indications -are
that the membership are actuated
by the desire that controls the
pastor, to advance the causa of
Christ in the church and throagh-
out the town and community.
So far no limit has been fixed,
but the meetings will continue at
least through this week.
The pastor is zealous and force
ful in his exp esition of gospel truth,
and in his exhortations to those
who are not Christians-.
The singing is good,-the prayers
earnest at each service, and the in
terest manifested indicates that
much spiriturl good will come to
the church and towa.

A New Court.
Hon. J. P. Duncan performed
hisUrst service last Monday as
court commissioner of Houston
county. He was appointed by
Judge Felton.
The office and the service is new;
by authority of a law enacted by
the Georgia legislature last year.'
This Dew court is for the purpose
of taking the testimony of witness
es of one county for a case to be
tried in another. In the case last
Monday, the testimony of several
Honston citizens was needed in a
case to be tried in Newton county.
The case involves several thousand
dollars, a recent legacy to Mr. J.
H. Pharr, of Honston county.
Hon. J. P. Duncan presided,
Messrs. Park & Qerdine of Macon,
and Cabiness & Willingham of
Forsyth, represented the plaintiff
and defendant respectively. The
witnesses were examined and cross-
examined as in a regular court tri-^
al, and the testimony was "taken
down by a stenographer.
The testimony thus taken will be
used in the regular trial, and dis
places the old method of taking in
t^rrogatories.

The last monthly meeting of the
Perry Epworth League, was held
Friday night, March 10th, at the
home of Mr. M. A. Edwards.
President Houser read as the
Scripture lesson the 19th Psalm,
j with which we are all familiar. Let
us carry the words found in the last
verse of this lesson with us, and
pray more earnestly that “the
words of our mouths, and the med
itations of onr hearts,” be accept
able in God’s sight.’ The attend
ance being good, many voices join
ed in singing “When The Roll Is
Galled Up Yonder,” followed with
prayer by Rev. T. W. Ellis. The
Secretary read the minutes and
called the roll to which twenty-six
responded. The business feature
of the evening was next in order,
which opened with reports from
officers. The reports heard were
good. *
We are told io the Bible that of
the three, Faith, Hope and Char
ity, the latter surpasses; and under
this head comes our second Vice
President’s report, which is indeed
splendid. The following is a syn
opsis of the work done by this de
partment for the month of March.
Forty-five calls on sick, tweqty-one
on strangers. Medicines famish
ed three times, and delicacies four.
Number of garments distributed,
forty-three. Amount expended for
charitable purposes, seventy-five
cents. One comfort,thirty-five yards
of goods# thread and coffee furnish
ed those in need.
We are glad to add to onr roll
the names of Misses Pearl Davis
and Mattie Rainey, making the
number of members fifty five. •
Misses Carrie Houser, Mattie
Edwards and Gorinne Baldwin,
were elected delegates to the State
League Convention, which meets
in Columbus April, 13th.
The hour for the Sunday after
noon devotional meeting has been
pat at four o’clock.
While we are proud of the num
ber of books our library has open
ed with, still these do not suffice
but if we carry out the suggestion
made by our pastor, (that each
member write to friends asking
help) we will soon have a capital
library. If the books are kept out
over two weeks, five cents a week
will be charged for every day over
the limited time. After a recess
the following literary programme
was well rendered.

“Laugh and the world laughs
with you.”
A womans’ words and fancies
are as changeable and charming as
an April morn.
“Honor to woman! to them it is
given to garden the earth with the
roses of heaven.”
These thoughts came to me as I
looked over the members of the
Thursday Afternoon Clnb assem
bled at the home of Miss Sara
Tounsley, March 9th, 1899.
Faces were wreathed in smiles
of happiness and good cheer.
The wit and repartee flashing
back and forth, the merry jest and
ringing langh for the time made
one forget the cares and steamer
duties ef life.
Refreshments were served by
the hostess assisted by-MisSfes Car
oline HouBea and Pearl Davis.
If the Club enjoyed the after
noon as much as the hostess, 1 feel
asnred it wafs pronounced by -all, a
delightful occasion.
We are glad to enroll two new
members on our Club list; Misses
May Day and Mary Nunn.
The Club will be entertained

On March 6th, 1899, at the home
of Mr. J. W. Skipper, Skipperton
Ga. Miss Emma Skipper of Bayne
ville was married to Mr. W. S.
Haley. Miss Skipper was there
on a visit to relatives. Her parents
were bitterly opposed to the mar
riage, but all in vain. She had
been there only a week when her
father received a letter telling him
of the marriage. Her parents are
grieving over the loss of their eld
est daughter. The marriage was
about 8 o’clock a. k. aDd at about
10 they left for the home of the
groom at Rockville, Ga.
We are having some pretty
weather now, and the farmers are
enjoying it.
There was a light snow last Mon
day, March 6th.
The farmers are preparing their
land for planting corn.
Madam Rumor says there will
be another wedding in this commu
nity within 30 days.
The Febrnaiy snow staid longer
than we wished and killed all the
vegetables, flowers and frnit. Next
time we hope Mr. Snow will come
earlier and not stay so long.
Some say there will ba'-some
fruit, bat I think it is too late for
anything but late blooming peaches
and apples.
The health of onr community is
much improved since the depar

he will join ns again, for his letters

Ifiad that abiut all bearing peach
trees are killed, bat I am not dis

so I have begun already to plant

This remedy is intended especi

whooping cough and influenza. It
has become famous for its cures of
these diseases, over a large part
of the civilized world. The most
flattering testimonials have been
received, giving accounts ' of its
good works; of the aggravating
and persistant cooghs it has cured;
of severe colds that have yielded
promptly to its soothing effects,
and of the dangerons attacks of
croup it has cared, often saving
the life of the child. The exten
sive use of it for whooping cough
has shown that it robs that disease
of all daDgerons consequences. For
