The wind blow in a perfect tornado,
and the hail and rain fell w if la terrible

banked upfront twelve to eighteen in

Fruit is somewhat damaged. The
wheat crop has been sheathed and was

long and shady and the night- are nev

unsurpassed. Board reasonable, and
amusements of all kinds. Mr. J. A. G.
Vnderson's palatial stables are well
filled with all kinds of vehicles, from
a saddle horse all the way up to a

The gloom and despondency that was
gathering on tin* brow of the tiller of
the ground because of the protracted
drought in our neighborhood, lias been
dispelled by a bountiful supply of rain.
Crops arc in line condition, and looking
well, save a slight damage by tin* hail
on Sunday.
Some sickness in our neighborhood,
but nothing serious. Maj. 11. A. Butler
lias been quite sick, bill is now able to
attend to bis railroad matters. Mrs. B.
F. Hill is also sick, but recovering.
Last Sabbath was the day set apart for
the dedication of the new Baptist church
at. tills place. Before the usual preach
ing hour, a vast concourse of people
from tiie surrounding country had gath
ered in and about the church. The Rev.
I>r. 1. K. Branham preached the dedica
tory sermon. We did not hear the ser
mon,but it is conceded by all wbofieard
it as grand and beautiful, certainly,
Dr. Branham, w ith ail his learning.and
eloquence, could not pay too high a eu
logy upon G. W. Johnson, ILS.Fidson,
Mrs. G. M. Lacy, Mrs. Hibson, Mr*.
Travis, Mrs. Garrett, Mrs. Yates, and
many others, who put all their energies
info the grand enterprise until they se
cured its completion. Long may this
edifice stand as a monument to flndr
christ-ian philantlnopliy.
it was announced that t here would be
some Sabbath School exercises in the af
ternoon. By four o’clock the house was
tilled with the lioary-lteaded fathers and
mothers in Israel and the youth and
beauty of tin* surrounding' country, in
cluding a fail' representation from tin*
cities and towns in tiie country. The
Sabbath Schools, led by Prof. Clarke, of
your eityj and Mr, Booth, of our coun
ty, engaged in singing some excellent
sabbath school pieces. We pity the soul
that is so debased as not to be drawn
heavenward under flic soul inspiring
influence of sacred music.
I
After several pieces bail been sung
by the schools, Col. J. R. Brown being
| present, was urged upon by Rev. Mr.
McMurry to address the schools. Col.
Brown modestly fried to excuse liitn-
I self, bid was not allow ed to do so. and
i finally consented to make the li'rst Sab
i bath school address of hi* life. When
lie arose and laid hi* band upon the Ho
ly Evangelist, and with Christian earn
estness beaming from bis face, made
that solemn declaration found in Holy
Writ : “Train up a child ill the way lie
' should go, and w lien be is old lie w ill
nor depart from it,” we very soon came
to Hie conclusion that Col. Jim did not
spend all bis boyhood days in iliijijimj
Irish t ifitntiifx lo earn money fr> pay lui
fion, bill ilial be bad either spent most
of bis youthful Sabbath days in making
Sabbath school speeches or listening lo
olliers speak. We il Lb that every little
boy in llic land who thinks lie is too
poor and insignificant to ever attain lo
anything great or good, could have
beard Col. Brown’s speech, for they
would have went away better prepared
to meet and overcome the dilliciill ics and
disadvantages incident to a life of pov
erty and privation. Onsri nnv .

The sermon, preached by Rev. S. P.
Richardson, at the metliodist church of
Po\\ der Springs, on flic 4th Sabbath in
lasi month, has been a subject of consid
erable conversation. Mr. R. made some
broad assertions. Inn l suppose he knew
w bat he could do. The metliodist Sab
bath school at Powder Springs is large
ly attended. We country people goin to
see and hear the organ."
The people living near Powder
