w. NJ. u. Rally Held in
Bronwood on Wednesday
All Churches in District Represented
Next Meeting at Dawson.

The w. M. U. rally opened on
Wednesday morning at Brentwood,
with representatives from all the
churches in the Dawson district pres
ent.
The women were led in devotion
al by Mrs. Emma Crouch, who Sc
lected for her theme, "Condemning
Sin" Her talk was brief but carefully
prepared, and left her audience real
izing that an acute consciousness OF
sin is more needed now than an enor-
nous accession of concelt.
Miss Ethel Cowart led the union in
singing %We're Marching to Zion.
Then there were some welcome adj
dresses of the usual sort and length,
and the visiting churches expressed
their appreciation of the hearty well
come from the Brentwood society
through Mrs. Hannah, OF Herod. Mrs.
Cocker, district secretary, created quite
a good deal of interest in having the
president of each society answer to
roll call with the number OF points on
the standard of excellence her socle-
tv had reached. 1t was a very whole
some thing to have these women give
an account of the points attained.
Rev. Lowe gave talk bearing on
the same line of the devotional, Con
deinning Sim. At the II hour Rev;
J. c. Moore, pastor of the Bronwood
church, preached a sermon on What
/ a w. NJ. S. Should and Should Not
Be-" Then the meeting was adjourn
ed for lunch, when plenty OF good
things to eat were served by the
Brentwood ladies.
The afternoon session was opened
with scripture lesson by Mrs. Free
man. of Weston. After this a special
song, Shine" was rendered by Rosa
Lee Fleming. Mrs. Highbeau then
led a prayer for the children.
The campaign acrostic, by the
Dawson society, filled the audience
with spirit Of hope, courage and de-
termination to finish in worthy way
the great Is million campaign.
The superintendent was present
again, and she and the secretary, Mrs.
Coker, are serving in many ways, and
| through persistent efforts we are sure
to be an Al organization.
1t was wonderful day. The DaW-
son church will have the next rally.

ONLY 1923 NEGROES
HAVE LEFT TERRELL
CENTRAL RAILROAD AGENT
GIVES NUMBER OF TICKETS
SOLD AND DESTINATION.

There has been much speculation
as to the number of negroes who have
left Terrell county to find employ
ment in different sections of the
north, and, as is usual in matters OF
this kind, some people have been in
clined to eXaggerate the situation.
The majority of the citizens, however,
are persuing the even tenor OF their
way, firm in the belief that things
will adjust themselves sooner or later.
The white labor that has come to
Terrell county to take the place OF
the negroes is proving to be satis-
factory, and on many of the best
farms these white families have set
tied down to hard work and quiet,
peaceful living. The large majority OF
the best negroes, too, are still with
us. helping to bring back old time
prosperity to this highly favored sec
ton. Many see no occasion to view
with alarm" the fact that few col
ored people are leaving every week
for other sections. Good, honest work
and a square deal for white and black
is bound to keep Terrell county in the
middle of the road.
