Middle Ga. Argus – Week of June 1, 1891


The big “Sacred Harp” singing at Beersheba was a red letter day for a thousand 
people who assembled at the old church to hear and engage in a day of old time 
singing.  Mr. H. C. Thaxton was made master of ceremonies and the music was 
conducted by Messrs. Barron Glass, Pound, Bickers, and Thaxton.  “Twas pleasant 
indeed to sing again those good old songs we sang so long ago”.  It was like 
returning to the old homestead and greeting old friends after a long journey.  
Dinner was served on the grounds and the supply was more than equal to the 
demands and the quality was of the best.  It was indeed a feast of good things 
to both soul and body, and as the old sweet songs were rehearsed “many fond 
recollections were brought into view.”  We were placed under many obligations 
to Mr. E. E. Pound for a pleasant ride to and from the church.  May he yet live 
to grow corpulent attending all day singing.
