All-Day Singing. i
One of the most pleasant occa- j
sions nver spent in Houston was!
enjoyed by a large concourse of
people at Small Academy on last!
Sunday. It was the occasion of '
the annual all-day singing by the
people of that neighborhood. Mon
tezuma, Marshallville, Henderson,
Mossy Hill, Myrtle and Perry
were well represented. Mr. Rob-j
ert Cheek of Macon was there: he
is popularly known as a good sin
ger, and he has many friends in
Houston who are always glad to
see him. Hon. C. G. Gray during
the morning made a splendid talk
to the crowd. The singing was
good and enjoyed by all. The
dinner prepared by the good la
dies was most excellent and all
did full justice to the many temp
ting dishes. There was a great
abundance of good things to eat.
Small Academy is located in
one of the most progressive por
tions of the county and is sur
rounded by people who are hard
to beat for their hospitality and
enterprise. A fine school is being
taught there by Miss Marie Nunn
of Perry. Much credit is due her
for her refined and inteligent man- j
agement of the school. ,
We will look forward with great |
pleasure to the next annual all
day-singing at Small Academy 1
and we will number last Sunday
in our book of rememberance as
one of our most pleasant and hap
py days. Visitor.
