Protracted Religious Services.
President Pollock At Dunbar.
Since last Sunday, three relig
ious services have been held each
day at the Perry Methodist
church, and will so continue at
least through this week.
At the morning hour last Sun
day Presiding Elder J. B. McGe-
hee preached ah able sermon, and
at the conclusion administered
the Sacrament of the Lord’s Sup
per. He preached again Sunday
night, and presided over the sec
ond quarterly conference of this
charge Monday morning.
Rev. Howard McGehee came up
from Cordele Monday morning.
He preached that afternoon, be-
gining at 4 o’clock and again that
night.
Tuesday services were held from
9:80 to 10:30 a. m., from 4 to 5p.
m., and at night, beginning at 8
o’clock.
Presiding Elder J. B. McGehee
was unable to remain here longer
than Tuesday morning.
The preachers are earnest, zeal
ous and forceful in their presen
tation of gospel truth, and there
will surely be a healthful revival
of religion, if the members of the
church prove themselves earnest
and faithful in equal ratio.
So far the congregations have
not been as large as they should
be, but it is hoped that lack of in
terest in the meeting is not the
cause.
There is a theatrical company
in town, beginning Monday and
advertised to show three nights,
but of course our people do not
prefer the traveling show to the
established church.
New Town Officials.
The annual munincipal election
of Perry was held last Saturday.
There was only one ticket, and
that had been presented through
persuasion, none of the getlemen
being candidates by their own mo
tion.
The election was remarkable,
in that there was no efforts to se
cure votes.
There being no opposition, the
election was exceedingly quiet.
The new town officials thus elec
ted are:
Mayor— Jno. H. Hodges.
Aldermen—B. H. Andrew, J. D.
Martin, Sr., J. J. Marshburn, J
R. Miller, A. A. Smoak, Dr. J. R
Sims.
The new Council was organized
Monday afternoon. Mr. T. M.
Killen was re-elected clerk, and
the election of marshall and the
appointment of cpmmittees defer
red to next meeting. The regular
meetings will be on the first Mon
day night of each month.
Capt. James Dead.
At about ten o’clock last Thurs
day morning Capt. JohnB. James
died of paralysis at his home in
Fort Valley. He and his,wife had
returned a day or two before from
a visit to. their son at Albany, and
the attack that resulted in death
was altogether unexpected.
• Capt. James was one of the
most progressive citizens of Hous
ton, though he never was a candi
date for office.
When farmers’ Alliance was at
its height he was president of the
Houston county organization, and
prominent in its state councils.
Probably more than any other
person he was responsible for the
large investments of northern cap
ital in fruit orchards in this coun
ty, and for several years he man
aged several of the' largest com
panies.
He was correct and true, earn
est, industrious and progressive.
v By his death Fort Valley, Hous
ton ana Georgia lost a most ex
cellent citizen, and those who
knew him have lost a reliable,
sympathetic friend.
With the bereaved wife and
children many friends throughout
the state sincerely sympathise.

Through the kindness of Coun
ty School Commissioner t Geo. W.
Smith, this writer w;
number who heard
lent educational
bar last Friday nig'
Pres. P, D. Pollock of Mercer
University was there through the
solicitation of Commissioner
Smith.
Though the weather was incle
ment, and the night exceedingly
dark, an audience of fair size had
assembled in the school house at
the hour named.
The platform was prettily dec
orated, the colors of Mercer Uni
versity, orange and black, being
tastily draped on the wall and en
twined about the furniture.
Prior to the introduction of the
speaker, the school, under the di
rection of the teacher, Miss Lilia
Cowart, presented the following
entertaining program:
Song—Red, White and Blue,
by school.
Recitation—Fortune of War,by
Lintoii Holleman.
Recitation—Coming home from
town, Miss Simmons.
Pres. Pollock said he was not
not there to deliver a lecture, or
an address, but he did, all the
same. He called it a talk on edu
cation, but it also embraced the
chief features of an address, a
speech and a lecture.
Without any apparent effort,
he was interesting and instructive,
depicting the necessity for educa
tion in an easy way that the
smallest child could understand.
Each sentence was at the same
time fluent, plain and eloquent.
Without any attempt at pratory
or word-flourish, he gave to his
hearers beautiful word pictures
bound in frames of plain facts and
instructive statements. We would
be pleased to give a synopsis of
•the address, but must be content
with the statement that it was
one of the most comprehensive
short talks on education we ever
heard. He presented the public
school, in which 20 per cent of the
population are each year, as the
foundation of civilization, and its
dependence for progress.
Of course he contended that ed
ucation should be carried beyond
the public schools, but he insisted
that the foundation should be
firm and correct.
After the address,the shool pro
nounced benediction with that
beautiful song, “Good Night.”
From Friday evening to Satur
day morning Pres. Pollock was the
guest of Mr. J. A. Smith at his
home near Wellston.
We understand Pres. Pollock
has agreed to deliver another edu
cational address in Houston coun
ty, probably the latter part of
next week, at Bonaire.
