New Pastor Called.
At a church conference last Mon
day night, Rev. Albert S. Dix, of
Knoxville, Ga., was called to the
pastorate of the Perry Baptist
church.
We understand the new pastor

four children, and that he will en
ter into the performance of his
pastoral duties on the first Sunday
in July.
Mr. Dix is a man of pleasing
address, a forceable preacher,
and reputed a devout, earnest,
faithful and Christian gentleman.
We dare say he will prove him
self agreeable and helpful to the
people of Perry, who will very
cordially extend him the right
hand of Christian and social fel
lowship.

in session three days last week, it
being the regular April quarterly
term. Twelve cases were disposed
of, 5 civil and 7 criminal. The
criminal cases were tried before a
jury, on Thursday,-4 convictions
and 3 verdicts of not guilty.
| —The new moon last Thursday
j was regarded as a danger period
j from a weather standpoint,. and
the change that came was decided
ly wintry. From Thursday even
ing toMonday morning cold winds
prevailed, and there was fear
throughout the county that there
would be cold enough to kill the
fruit and other tender vegetation.
It was feared that if the winds
continued a freeze would come,
and if the wind ceased there
would be frost. Neither frost nor
a freeze came, but the weather
was disagreeable and decidedly
unlike spring.
—Miss Mary Culler White, of
Hawkinsville, Ga., will probably

and will work earnestly and with

in Perry, she having been born
here, and her early girlhood spent
