lodge and friends which was serv¬
ed iu the store room recently vaca¬

OUR FIRST
COTTON BLOOM
Mr. G. W. Castleberry, prosper*
rous farmer just outside the cor¬
porate limits of the city, claims the
honor of being the first to bring a
cotton bloom to Pelham this sea¬
son, having one on exhibition here
last Saturday, He was putting
out some boll weevil poison ou his
cotton Saturday morning when he
found his first bloom, and during
the morning he says he found sev¬
eral blooms. Mr. Castleberry
has about 20 acres in cotton this
year and from the outlook at pres
eut and if the weevil can be con¬
trolled he will make some cotton
this year.
CANTALOUPES
BEGIN TO MOVE
The shipment of cantaloupes be
gan this week in a small way, a
tew flats going forward both Wed¬
nesday and Thursday to the near¬
by markets by express. The
’loupes were bought by local meu
and spipped, some going to Jack¬
sonville and to points in Georgia*
It is understood that the price re¬
ceived for these flats was around
$2.50, which is good.
It is understood that the crop as
a whole is very poor and that the
farmers are blue over the outlook
again this year, but it is hoped
that the weather cendition will get
better, aud should favorable con¬
ditions prevail from now on, that
something can yet be realized by
the growers from the crop.
Shipments of cantaloupes will
begin in earnest by next week,
and if good prices are received,
business will immediately begin to
pick up along all lines in this
section

GREAT SERVICE AT
BAPTIST CHURCH
Wednesday night despite the
mud and rain about 600 people
crowded into the Auditoriums of
the First Baptist Church, to hear
the pastor, W. B. Feagins, preach
and answer his critics and ernern
ies. His message was delivered
with power and courage, yet in
tenderness and love. For one hour
and twenty minutes he held the
large audience spell bound as he
shot scipture after scripture into
the message he delivered, building
his remarks and reinforcing his ad¬
dress with the Bible. Judging by
the way the people responded to his
message, aud finally to see the
large congregation vote by stand¬
ing unanimously, etidorsiug a body
of able resolutions read by Mr.
C. T. Hurst, backing up their
pastor and friends, he did the
thing well. IIH address was un¬
answerable. 150 men met.at city
Council room ot 8:15 and marched
in a body to the church where
they occupied reserved seats. The
singing was inspirational. We
are glad we went to this service.
Glad we heard that soul stirring
address, and beheld with what es¬
teem this pastor is regarded by his
church aud friends.
Next week the Journal hopes to
carry the resolutions that were
adopted last night

with Rev. Paul A. Caldwell, evan¬

ed.

OLD LAND MARK
FAST DISAPPEARING
The old Masonic building on
Matthewson Ave. will soon be a
thing of the past. This is one of
the old land marks of the city, and
when it is finally removed the last
one of theseold wood structures will
begone. This building has been
in use, not only by the Jasons,
but by the other lodges of the cilv
for a number of years* When it
was erected it was thought it would
be sufficient to take care of the de¬
mands of the lodge for years and
years, but the great strides at which
Pelham has been going for the
past several years iu the way of
building has caused sentiment to
change and the old house was fin¬
ally looked upon as an eye-gore
in that section of the town.
Finally the city council condem¬
ned this old lodge building and it
wassoou rid of its tenants and of¬
fered for sale. Messrs. A. A.
Turner aud A. S. Elliott bought it
and immediately began the work
of tearing it dowu and moving it
away. Peace to its ashes. May
there arise on the lot where it stood
so long a modern and convenient
Masonic temple.
