Last Sunday tho Basket Factory
finished moling its buildings across
the Georgia Railroad. The building
which was moved last Sunday was an
extra large one to have to move es
pecially in such a short time. They
began moving the building about 12:150
and did not finish until eleven at night.
The ropes used in moving tho house
gave way several times and had to be
repaired. The four o’clock train and
the fabt train at night were delayed
until eleven when they passed. No
damage resulted except the delay of
trains which did not amount to much.
May we ask the question, why it is
that Indies’ hats are not removed
church? It is certainly a strain on
poor unfortunate man who has to
stretch his neck in order to see the
preacher while tie is preaching
ladies remove their hats in the opera
house aud why can’t they do tho same
in church. What is going on in the
pulpit is certainly of more importance
to us than a performance, silly and
worldly that we see on the stage of
an opera house. Why is it that a lady
doesn’t have some feeling for a man
who is in church when he is doing all
in his power to see through their
plumage, around it or over it. Wc
hope by the time that Thomson has
another protracted meeting that a
streak of good aud tender fueling will
so seize the ladies that they will have
compassion on the men.

iMEMORIAL EXERCISES.
Tuesday evoning, April the twenty-
eighth, the usual Memorial day exer
cises were carried out by the ladies of
our little eiiy. Promptly at half past
oue o’clock the children began to gath
er at the postotllce with their arms
laden with flowers with which to deco
rate the graves of our fallen heroes.
At two o’clock, the procession, led by
tho old veterans inarched to the ceme
tery where all looked on with tearful
eyes while the children paid tbeir re
spects lo our fallen Confederate soldier
in a most feeling manner.
The procession then marched to
Pierce Institute where after songs were
sung by the choir, the speaker, Dr. G.
W. Yarborough was introduced by Rev.
G. W. Garner.
Dr. Yarborough’s address was highly
appreciated by all who heard it. He
paid a glowing tribute to Southern
soldierism. The address being deliver
ed by a Confederate veteran made it
all the more impressive.
The audience was dismissed and all
repaired to the court house yard where
delicious refreshments were served.
All went to their homes thanking
God for the Southern soldier and the
ivicord he had made for himself in the
years of the civil war.

The cMeeting at the Baptist Church.
The meeting at tho Baptist church
conducted by ltcv. T.T. Martin, closed
Thursday night. The interest in these
meetings increased with each service
and we feel that Thomson has been
stirred as never before on religious
alters and that gi'caL good has al
ready come and will continue to come
from the earnest eflorts put forth at
this time.
A number of additions has been
made to the Baptist church and we
