Harden, the pastor was ably assisted by Rev McDaniel, an evangelist cf the Thomasville district, who has delivered some splendid sermons There has been several addi tions to the church, and a spirit of genuine, old lime religion has been going on in the meeting from the start. Several of the Baptist church members have attended the servi ces regularly, and it would be hard for a stranger to tell one denom ination from I tie other. If the evangelist has so forcibly impressed bis congregations with the unity plan, that they will stick to this after he has left, then he will have wrought a good work for the community. The meeting will probably close tonight. “A Friend.” WATCH COLQUITT GROW THE LEADING CITY OF SOUTHWEST GEORGIA Liberalities Socials, Locals, and Personals. M rs.
