Barbecue For Campaign Meet.
ing. Masonic Revival, CO..
Talbert's Barbecue.
Heard Watson.

The Parksviile Baptists yesterday
in conference, reconsidered their
former action, and changed the
time for the beginning of their pro-
tracted meeting from lst Sunday in
August, to 9Th Sunday night. The
reason for this was, that they found
that the political meeting, at which
they had planned a barbecue, would
come on the 18th, right in the mid
die of the week, and it was deemed
not to be a good idea to combine a
revival with a political meeting.
The ladies also have ice cream and
other Injuries for the benefit of the
candidates, bless their good, amiable,
sweet, generous souls, as well as the
general public and the time con-
sumed in making preparations, to
entertain our friends, to say nothing
of the loss of the day, would ma
terially detract. from the meeting
therefore it is we'll they made the
change.
The following were appointed
delegates to the Sunday school con-
vention to meet this week at Red
Hill: T. G.. Talbert, John r. Black
we'll, J. c. Mayson, D. A.. Bell and
d. A. J. Bell. Bro. J. M. Bussey,
the Sunday school superintendent
was appointed, to represent the
church. )
"A great revival in Masonry seems
to be taking place all over the coun-
ty, the craft meeting with favor and
~,impressing its tenets upon the eligi-
BILE all over the county. A regular
communication of Parksville lodge
was held Saturday evening at which
time the sublime degree Of Master
M ason was conferred upon Mr.. Kim
Holmes of Modoc. The lodge had
as visitors from Concordia lodge,
Edgefeld, Mr.. Erve Holmes and
Hampton Smith.
Grant Brunson, who had his head
split open by an affectionate? wife,
and whom your headlines reported
dead last week, is doing well. He
lost more brains than most people
supposed that he had, but it is to be
hoped that he has enough left to get
along on.
DR.. r. E. Jennings, WHOM we re-
ported sick last week is no better.
He has cancer of the e%sophagus and
larynx and of course cannot get any
better, which makes his case.a sad
one. His children, than whom none
could be more devoted, are at his
bedside with all the tender ministra-
ton that loving hearts can prompt.
God will abundantly bless them for
their thoughtful kindness and ten
der care.
Col. w. j. Talbert had anice lit
tie barbecue one day last week for
children and intimate friends.
The cooking was superintendent by
Judge Blackwell, which means that
it was well done.
Messrss w. r. Parks, Robert
|Bussey, Claud Parks, Cleveland
Stone and w. P. Parks went over
Saturday to Thompson to hear Tom
Watson. It seems, that our people
have lost the art Of getting up a
political scrap, but they can get UP
a good one just across the line in
the Georgia tenth districts. Tom
Watson had the day, and many
think he put Tom Hardwick out OF
business on that occasion.
Miss Martha Dorm has returned
home from an extended visit to her
sister at Johnston TO the delight OF

success.
