Middle Ga. Argus – Week of July 12, 1894
We, in company with that staunch old democrat, Mr. J. R. Bankston, went to that 
historic old church of the above name on last Sunday.   The size of the crowd 
was astonishing, that large house was filled to overflowing.  We noticed 
several Jacksonites there, among whom was Judge Harkness, who fifty years ago 
was a member of that church, and who then lived where Mr. John Barkley now 
lives, and would take his good wife up behind him on the only horse he owned, 
and attend church once a month at that church, a distance of six miles, and to 
our surprise.  Mr. Will J. Jolly dashed by us in a fine turn out with one of 
the prettiest girls we ever saw, in the buggy with him.  Everything moved off 
quietly, except a few thoughtless fellows propped themselves up in other 
people’s buggies and tried to kick off the dash boards.  It’s really strange 
that a man will take possession of another’s buggy without his consent.

That Grand heralder of the gospel Rev. J. A. Jackson preached a noble practical 
sermon on “Home Life” which will do this world good after he has been dead a 
thousand years.

Stark is the prettiest place for a town in the known world, and they only lack 
on thing now of having the prettiest town in Butts County – and that is the 
town.
