 The May singing at Fish, Pond Church continued and each successive ''singing'' was more largely attended. As the years passed so did the May sing ing" at Fish Pond grow in popular favor and the favor created by 1t caused the institution of other annual slnglngs, each successful in its community but none SO universally attended as the one led by the genial. the jovial Professor Holloway whose reputation as a singer was becom- ing known in the remotest parts or Ala l bama.

Today at Fish Pond Church in Talla- posa County, seven miles from Alexander City, fully 1000 persons will assemble In commemoration of the fifty-fourth annual Fish Pond singing, and in the celebration of the anniversary of this event 5000 per sons will pay a noble tribute to A. G' Holloway, a singing master 7S years old, who has for flfty-four years led these singings during the turmoil of reconstruc tion and the tranquility of peace and prosperity.
 In Tallapoosa, Coosa, Fillmore Counties and throughout the middle-east section of Alabama the first Sunday in May Of each year is known as Fish Pond slng- ing Sunday and to Fish Pond church hundreds of persons go on this memoraoie It was in December 1S4s or probably as late as January 1850 when young man. aged 25 years located in the, then re, mote parts of Tallapoosa County and established a singing school for the train ing and cultivation of the voices or The young of the community.
 In that day and time before the whistles of the locomotive and the steamboat were heard in Alabama before the days of the rapid-fire gun and implements of modern warfare; even before the days of the church organ, the complete education Of a child after the regular course in the common schools, depended entirely on whether the vocal talents of that child had been cultivated, and singing schools presided over Dy the lHlmdculdle DelnBs of each community the singing master, were more to the parents of the hrues than the metropolitan studios of art and music are to the parents of this day
 Each child was given course under the professional music teacher as vel as under the old-tlme dominic, being taught the notes and songs of fa-sa-la in the old Sacred Harp.
 And during the days of singing schools the Saturday and Sunday 'singings were brought into vogue. Farmers and theil sons after a week of hard labor needed the wives, daughters and sisters o farmers joined in hearty assent with thu inauguration of ''singings," affording a: 1t did, opportunity for students of th' singing schools to practice before thu inhabitants of the entire section wha had been taught them by the master often by constant application of the rod
 So 1t was in this early time that A. G HolloWay a young music teacher cam into the Fish Pond settlement iron Georgia The community of Fish Pon' was in need of man of Holloway's pro fession and a school was organized ant begun under his direction
 The school fiourished, the pupils learn cd and Professor Holloway ocean popular among the best people of tn country. His voice and ear for must and his idea of strict discipline in tn achool room made him esteemed by tn men and fathers of the section. HI Education and disposition, his humilit and religious ferver made him popula among the women and mothers.
 Young Holloway conceived this pre- vailing idea of Sunday singings to be
 good one, so on the first Sunday in Ma, is50 several hundred persons assemble af the Fish Pond Baptist Church in al tendance on Professor HollowaFs nrs ISeinG, the arst ever held in that nan'
