The members of the Whips

The May Meeting at the Tono-
loway Baptist Church was, as
usual, great success. The
weather was fair and hundreds
of people were in attendance.
The history of this church dates
back more than one hundred
years. The original settlers who
worshiped there, always stacked
their arms at the door and placed
sentinels about the grounds to
ward off Indian attacks. The
May meeting festival is as old as
the church.
Eleven persons were received

near the church, also suffered
from a number of broken window
panes; and Billy Wild's big hack
looked afterward like as if it had
received a volley from a regiment
of infantry.

this county have taken contract

of bark. They have nice timber
and nice ground. The Buffalo
flies or ''Potter Comfy Punkies''
is hard on the new Fulton county
boys up there. They say the only
way to withstand their attack is
to smear the hands and face with
tar. A member of the Sipes
Mill String Band joined the party
atTyrone. The boys say the first
tree he cut lodged, and he had
it to cut in cordwood before he
got all the bark off it.
