On last Friday afternoon at 2:30 o clock, Pres. P. I). Pollock, of Mer cer University, spoke to a large crowd assembled in the school house at Bonaire. There were also exer cises by the school children, begin- ning at 2 o’clock and continueing after the address. The school exercises were highly entertaining, and reflected credit upon the children and their teach es. Even the youngest child was perfectly, at home in his part. Pres. Pollock took for his theme the work of the common schools. He spoke of what would soon be the condition of the country if the schools and churches were to be closed and discontinued. He quoted some great man as saying that when he went into a community he first put his hand upon the pulse of the school, and if that beat right the community was generally found to be all right. The life of the child was discuss ed as to the development under the influence of the parents and teach ers, and the work of the teacher was shown in its serious responsibilities. He said that all he was or should ever be was due to one of his teach ers, who was kind enough to teach him that he could become a good and useful ruaD; and this at a turn ing point in his life when everything could have easily gone otherwise. The need of a hearty co-operation between teacher and was dwelt upon. Pres. Pollock is an attractse man and an eloquent speaker, and not only the older people, but the small children listened attentively through out the speech. A Visitor. Hollinshead Happenings. BY CIBUS. A part of Mossy Creek Fishing Club had a fish-fry on last Friday night, which was well attended, there being twenty-seven men pres ent who were firm believers in ex pansion to a very great extent. Mr. B. F. Hammock was chief of the cu linary department and acted his role well, which we place to his credit. All that were caught were eaten— there were about fifty pounds,which satisfied all. Some stayed all night. I guess they were charmed by the excellent music made by Mr. Ed. Boler. Much fun was made, to the amusement of many And discomfort of a few. Mr. Frank Hammock of Fort Val ley was in our community last Sun day visiting relatives and friends. Mr. H. E Murray went to Perry last Saturday. Mr. Seagers and Mrs. McCrary were in our community last Sunday. Miss Ollie Harper and Mr. John Allen viewed the landscape and dust through our section last Sunday. Alex. Stephans wrote his editori als for the politicians and intelli gent, but we write for the sake of occupying time and space, and for the amusement of hoboes, idlers and all who may chance to read, forget ting the fact that it is never known how big a fool one is until he or she, or both, undertakes to write a letter. Therefore, we bid you a fond adieu —yes, that’s the word—with a sin cere desire for the prosperity of our own dear Hollinshead. Elko Etchings. , By Uncle Ned.

Some of the men and boys of our community attended a fish-fry last Friday night. On their return home they informed us that they had plen ty of fish, and though they never said so, we are inclined to believe that they had something stronger than water to drink. Messrs. W. J. and J. A. Short visited Macon last week. Mr. B. F. Murray and daughter, Miss Alice, attended preaching at Pleasant Hill Sunday. Mr. T. F. Anderson of Providence was here to-day. Mr. J. E. Murray and family vis ited Mr. Murray’s father near Pow- ersville Sunday. There is smallpox on Mr. Witsell Smith’s place, and has been there for some time.

HOWARD M. SMITH, tTo. 814 Second St.. Macon, Ga. BRING US YOUR JOB WORK. SATIS- FACTION GUARANEETD. A Reply to an Open Letter. I have shed three or four tears J over your unfortunate letter for j your sake'; my objection to it is that it was wide open. It lets out thebadjbut does not Jet in thegood. Pity you are under the control of “certain brethren”. Why did you not learn of me before you made an unsupported statement in print? Why did yoii step down from your pulpit to sling mud at me? You say that you love Calvinism better than your live! Why do you not love the truth as well, and a brother’s good name? O, shame! In defense of an ism, you break the moral law. Have you not read, thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor? O, that an elegant taste had made you respect the sanctity of my home! What have you to do with the education of my son at Emory?. Perhaps if you had been educa ted there you would not act so badly, aud would not invade the privacy of one’s family affairs. Under saintly garb and in pi ous phrase you close your letter, “kindly and fraternally yours.” But does not every one see that you are not fraternally when you slander my name? The voice is indeed the voice of Jacob but the hand is the hand of Esau. Do you kiss me while you strike me? The scripture says: decitful are the kisses of an enemy. Your letter is not argument. It is a libel. It is a slander. I would believe that faithful are the wounds of a friend ouly if you were telling the truth on me. I fear your wide open way. Bid farewell to Baptism all ye who enter there. Calvinists all hail. And then profoundest wide open door receive thy new posses sor. Truly, C. K. Henderson.
