REVIVAL SERVICES
NOW IN PROGRESS
Presbyterians and Methodists
Unite for Two Weeks. W is¬
dom Sitteas Captivate Hear¬
ers.
The union revival services by
the Presbyterians and Methodists
of Pelham started last Sunday
morning. At the Mouday evening
service, Rev. Deans and the Wis
dom Sisters came into service.
Every service proves Rev. C. M
Ledbetter’s wisdom in having such
singers as the Wisdom Sisters. It
is a treat to hear these three ladies.
For unity of tone and rythym, aud !
Christian purpose, these sisters
can’t be “beat.” At each service
they sing two numbers, and they
are just the plain Gospel hymns,
but sung differently.
The sermons by Revs. Deans
and Ledbetter compel one to stop
and think, while they are also
practical for the practical man.
Jesus, the Savior of men, is extoll¬
ed as the only Savior. And they
have none other to offer, He is
sufficient and efficient. The Grace
of God is surpeme.
Services are held every after
noon at four o’clock, and at eight
fifteen in the evening. Each night
sees a greater crowd present, and
friend reader if you are not pres¬
ent you are the loser. No Presby¬
terian service will be held at the
Library Hall on Sunday morning,
and the Sunday school there will
be dismissed sooner, that all
be at the Methodist church in
time, Sunday being Mother's
Day. Rev. J. D. Deans, the Presby
teriau minister, will preach the
sermon in the morning, and the
Rev. C. M. Ledbetter will preach
iu the evening. You will hear
messages worth while, aud singing
to touch the heart. Birds of prey
never sing: come and join in the
choruses.

PELHAM, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1924
MOTHERS DAY
Sunday, humanity will touch itstenderest heart-chord.
No human mind is of sufficient grasp to comprehend
what has been the influence of the mother in advancing
the cilvilization of the races of the earth, and in softeniug
the hearts and bettering the lives of mankind.
Mother love is oue Diviue Sentiment which Ihe Uni¬
versal God has giveu to all people, j>f all races and all re¬
ligions and for ail time. Aud this powerful force operates
continuously everywhere for good.
No heart is so hard or callous but that it grows tender
at the thoughts of mother love. The millon memories
in the lives of each of us, and the depths of mother love
are but typefied in the women that history and legeud have
wrought into the literature of all tongues, aud deeper still
into the hearts of all mankind.
In the dawn of time we fiud the cave woman in the
door of her cave, defending her offspring against the wild
beasts, with sticks aud stones as her only weapons.
In Biblical times Samuel tells us the story of poor
Rizpah, the concubine. How, after her two sous had
been hanged, and their bodies cut down from the tree and
left to rot, or to be eaten by the coyotes and the vultures,
she “took sackcloth, and spread it out for her upon the
rock, from the beginning of the harvest until the water
dropped upou them out of heaven, aud suffered neither the
birds of the air to rest upou them by day, nor the beasts
of the field by night.”
In our own day, the passing years have failed to wipe
away the tears of the millions of mothers who looked up¬
ou their sous for the last time when they gave them a fare¬
well kiss and, sent them away to die for the native land
What compensation can one of these mothers find for the
loss of her child, when her heart and mind keep turning
back to that cold gray dawn when she waited for his birth,
with death seated by her bedside? She remembers feeding
him from her breast, aud she thinks of other gray dawns
when death came back aud hovered at the bedside of her s

Kipling, who has no equal iu this generation in ana¬
lyzing and portraying human emotion, pays homage in|three
short verses that constitute one of the strongest appeals for
good since the Sermou on the Mount. Memorize these
eleven lines, and you will be a better man or a better wo¬
man.
MOTHER O’ MINE
If I were hanged on the highest hill,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!'
If I were drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’-mine!
If I were damned of body and soul,
1 know whose love would make me whole,
Mother o’ mine, O nlother o’ mine!
CROP OUTLOOK
IS SPLENDID
In spite of the late start this year
prospects on the farm are unusual
ly good in this section.
As a rule the stands are good iu
all the different crops, and the sea¬
sons for the past month have been
favorable, and crops have been
growing off rapidly, aud are work¬
ed out clean of grass.
Among the visitors in Pelham
this week were Mr. Nat. Smith,
prominent tobacco farmer of Rocky
Mount N. C., and tobacco ware¬
houseman at different points in
Kentucky, North Carolina and
Georgia. With him was Mr. A. S
Johusou, large tobacco grower of
Hahira- These gentlemen went
over many of the tobacco plots
near Pelham, and they were en¬

oughly modern steam laundry.
They are locating in a splendid
territory, aud all who know their
high character, and their energy

Born and reared in this city,
these youug men have unnumbered
friends, aud we regret to lose
them aud their charmiug families

ness and prosperity in their '* new
home.

The truck farms around Pelham
are in good shape and considerable
shipments of English peas have
already gone forward to market.
To Mr. G- C. Harrell goes the
honor of having made the first
truck shipment of the year. Re¬
turns being received from truck

„and prospects are good for a con¬
tinuation of fair prices.

who will market a large part of
the tomatoes from this district was
a visitor a few days ago, aud he
is pleased with the outlook in this
line, Several carloads of crates
have already come in, aud un¬
loading platforms are being built
to tne west of the Hand Trading
Co., warehouse to take care of the
tomato packing season-

MISS MILDRED WALL
QUEEN OF MAY
Macon papers have several pleas
aut notices of the May festivities
of that city, and Pelham friends
will be interested to read that Miss
Mildred Wall was chosen queen of
the day at the East Macon festival.
She was crowned queen with ap¬
propriate ceremonies before a crowd
of more than 500, aud we are sure
that she made a kiud and gracious
queen.

LOST BY FIRE
Fire completely destroyed the
residence of Mr. C. R. Nesmith on
the Old Camilla Road Tuesday
