School children to assemble for
the start to the picnic. The
scene in front of the church was
truely inspiring, and at 8 o’clock,
though, the clouds threatened
rain, eight two-horse wagons were
filled with happy, laughing young
folks, most children, bound for
their annual'Sunday School pic
nic. Following them were the
older people in buggies and car
riages.
At Norwood Springs, about
miles west of Myrtle, the Perry
people were joined by the Small
Academy Sunday’School, a num
ber from near Providence churoh,a
few from Fort Valley, Elko and
Grovania.
Through the clouds obscured
the sun, and the temperature was
decidedly chilly, the children be
gan to enjoy themselves immedi
ately upon their arrival and so
continued, with jumping the
ropes, swinging and the usual
games.
There was no program of exercis
es.
The lemonade stand was soon
in working order, and the product
was abundant and good.
There were about 300 people on
the ground, and all seemed to en
joy the oooasioq, barring the fact
that one little girl became sick di
rectly after their arrival, and two
others were slightly hurt while
playing.
Several candidates were present,
and politics occupied the atten
tion of the men to a considera
ble extent.
The dinner was served at the
usual time,—the 108 by 8 feist of
table space couldn’t hold it all.
Nothing better in variety and
quality, or more abundant, was
ever seen at a picnic. After dinner
enough to feed the crowd again
was returned to the baskets, box
es and trunks in which the good
things had been carried to the
picnio.
The mineral spring was contin
ually surrounded throughout the
day, and almost at every moment
some one was drinking the health
inspiring water.
But for the threatning weather,
Death of Mr. Singleton.
The second oldest citizen of
Perry, Mr. George W. Singleton,
died at his home on Swift street
last Sunday afternoon.
At the home Monday morning,
between 10 and 11 o’clock, the fu
neral services were conducted by
Rev. Albert S. Dix, pastor of the
Perry Baptist church, assisted by
Rev. J. W. Simmons. The inter
ment was in Evergreen cemetery,
where the body was placed beside
that of the* wife who had been a
loving companion for sixty years.
He was born in South Carolina
in 1821 and in early life came to
Georgia, locating in Houston
county. In business his early man
hood was spent as a farm superin
tendent. Saving his earnings, he
bought lands and was successful
in managing his own farms. In
1841 he was marrind and directly
after the war the family moved to
Perry, the house in which he died
having been built under hiB di
rection.
Mr. Singleton early became a
member of the Perry Baptist
church and his life was true and
upright. A .man of strong con
victions, he was unwilling to occu
py a negative position. Possess
ed of unbounded energy, great
persistence, and good business
judgment, by his own efforts he
acquired property enough to af
ford the comforts of life in his old
age, leaving a heritage to his
children.
He was a devoted husband, a
loving father, a true friend.
His wife died last Novomber.
Of his family he leaves two
daughters, Mrs. T. M. Killen and
Mrs. N. E. Cox of Perry, six grand
children and four great-grand
children.
Eleven years beyond the allot
ted life of man, his years were
well spent, and in love and honor
he was buried.
The many friends of the be
reaved ones most sincerely extend
their sympathy.

When you go to Macon and feel
tired and hungry after the shop
ping, you will want a quiet retir
ed place where you can get a daL-

there would have been a t fc n r e st JiihKm.timeS Goto
crowd.
The afternoon wad spent much
as the morning had been, and
about 4 o’clock the first adieus
were spoken.
Some of the Perry people were
caught in the rain that came
about 6:80, but a slight wetting
was the only discomfiture.
While the weather was far from
prefect for the ocoasiou, the pic
nic was decidedly enjoyable.
—Mr. W.j W. Howard has re
turned to Perry and will re-en
gage in business here. Recently
he went to Columbia, South Car
olina, to be superintendent of
agents for the Singer Sewing Ma
chine Conmpany. All the con
ditions of the position were not
satisfactory, and he resigned. His
many friends in Perry and
throughout Houston are glad that
he has returned, and wish for him
complete business success.
—The candidates are more sin
ned against than sinning this sea
son. Some of them are being un
mercifully gulled for loans. It is
said something like this is said or
written: “I must have the money,
and if you can’t furnish it I will
be obliged to apply to your oppo
nent. I have always supported
you, and besides my own vote
can influence others for you.”
—All persons who desire to
teaoh school in Houston under
public school authority, must be
examined on the <Jay set apart
for that purpose. This applies
to those whose license* has not ex
pired, as well as the others, be
cause of the requirement that
physiology and hygiene must be
taught.
