The election for bonds on June
loth is different from that of the
past election held April 30th in
that if the county votes bonds at
its June election it is bound by con¬
tract to sell these bonds to a cor
portion and to pay six per cent in¬
terest, and to pay that interest
semi-annually. Furthermore (he
payments are not to be made in
equal amounts of principal each
throughout the period of the loan,
but are to be paid in two terms of
eight years each, one term of nine
years, one term of four years, and
one term of one year, different
sums to be paid in each term, but
the annual payments in each term
to be'the same; for instance, the
annual payments for the first term
are to be #2,000.00 each year,there¬
fore during the first term of
eight years we will pay #16,000.00
principal and $44,640.00 interest;
the second term of eight years
$*4,000.00 principal and $35,000.
00 interest; the term of nine years
$36,000,00 principal and $23,760.
00 interest ; the term of four years
$20,opo,oo principal and $3,960.00
interest; and the one year term
(which is the last payment) $4,
000.00 principal and $240.00 inter¬
est; being a total of $100,000.00
principal and $107,880.00 interest,
or a grand total of $207,880.00.
The county authorities know
definitely thnt this money can be
had at this rate of interest for they
have entered into contract with
the agents of capital for this money
if the bond election carries.
Public roads are decidedly most
beneficial to the people who reside
in the country. They are the ones
who are more directly concerned in
good roads, and if those who reside
in the country are prosperous, it
does not take a Solomon to see that
the businessman—the man in town
—prospers too, hence if good roads
can be built without creating too
heavy, or unnecessary tax upon the
people residing in the country,then
we all derive the benefits thereof.
The county authorities have an¬
nounced to the people what roads
they propose to improve, and we
presume that announcement
applies to this election as in
the one of April 30th. If not the
commissioners should say so, and
perhaps they should as there is a
rumor in circulation that they have
in view the construction of but one
road extending from the Hall coun¬
ty line to Helen.
This bond issue is of tlie greatest
importance to every man, woman
and child in White county, and to
fail to give a question of this mag¬
nitude your earnest thought would
vividly prove your indifference to
your own welfare or the welfare of
your neighbor, or the county.
If you conclude that this bond
issue is what White county should
have, then take time to vote for it;
if you conclude that this proposed
bond issue is not in the best inter¬
est of the county, take time to vote
against it.
The centenary movement of the
Methodist Church, South, whereby
it is proposed to raise within the
next five years thirty-five millions of
dollars for the evangelization of the
world, opens its drive to raise this
subscription May 18th and will
continue its activitity zealously for
one week, closing May 25th. This
money is not to be paid in one sum
but in five equal amounts; the first
payment to be made in 30 days, the
next four payments to be made Jan.
ist of the next four years. The al¬
lotment for the Cleveland Charge
is l6.3iO.cx}. We estimate that this
charge has a membership of about
900, and figuring upon this
an average subscription of only
little over $7.00 per member will
put this drive for this' most worthy
cause “over the top.”
Cleveland Church has been al¬
lotted $1,487.00 of the total allot¬
ment for this charge, and she will
subscribe it. Cleveland must not
fail but put over her part with a
free will, a glad heart and a broad
smile. To give reluctantly, in the
interest of any good cause, is to
fail in our common duty, not to
mention our Christian duty.
Amongst the Methodist member¬
ship (as in the membership of all
other churches)there are many who
cannot with justice to their families
contribute but little, but there are
others who are prosperous fanners
and business men whose incomes
justify their liberal subscription to
this fund. To discharge our duty
to Cod who gave us prosperity we
must contribute in proportion to
our prosperity, and when we have
thus given, we have discharged our
duty, and the responsibility no
longer rests with us.
Thirty-five millions of dollars we
think a huge sum, but it is probab¬
ly not a fiftieth part of the net
earnings of the members of the
Methodist Church South during
the period of four and one-half
years these payments extend. But
it is not just thirty-five millions
that will be raised, for the Metho¬
dists will add many millions more
to the amount they have been call¬
ed upon as a minimum to sub¬
scribe.

of the members to occupy the pul¬
pit, which he did in deliverance of
a most splendid message to his
hearers, and his sermon was much
enjoyed.

Rev, S. D, Cherry filled his
regular appointment at the Meth¬
odist Church Sunday night. He
chose for his text upon this occas
ihn Prov. xxviii, 13, “He that cov
ereth his sins shall not prosper;
but whoso confessed] and forsaketh
them shall have mercy.” He held
in his oqinion that the word
prosper” had allusion to spiritual
rnd not things maternal, and
brought out from this text a most
fruitful sermon, dealing with his
subject frankly, and eiucidly, lay¬
ing before his congregation the
truth in such manner that any in¬
telligent hearer might well under¬
stand his construction of the true
meaning of the text, and tiie result
of its violation. In his admoni¬
tion he abused not his hearers be¬
cause of the error of their ways,
their walks, but laid before them
the truth that they might enjoy its
eomyanionshiy or tratnyle it be¬
neath their will and determination
