The Marietta Journal & Courier November 23, 1917
LOST MOUNTAIN

The committee appointed has arranged a program for the Thanksgiving service at
Midway Nov 29th as follows:
J W MAYES, Master of Ceremonies
Song.
Reading of Proclamation of President by A N MAYES.
Scripture Reading by S P ARNOLD.
Prayer by E A KEMP.
Song.
Five minute talks, each on Thanksgiving, by R H BARNES; C A KEMP; Charlie
WATSON; C A HAMILTON; A J WARD; F G WARDLAW.
Recitation of Scripture by 12 boys and girls.
Thirty minute talk by Rev E D PATTON.
Committee on music W N TERRY, Clarence KEMP and Mrs A N MAYES.

Everybody in the community is invited to attend this service.  Stop and count
your blessings, they are many.  Show the Lord your gratitude by coming out and
taking part in this service.  We want to see the house filled.

Do you appreciate this fine weather?  You ought to.  It has given such a fine
opportunity to finish the fall work.  Perhaps the cotton has never been so
tedious to gather on account of the cracked bolls.  Much of it is in the field yet.

The ladies of Midway church will not send the box to the orphanage until after
Thanksgiving.  If you want to contribute anything to eat or wear bring it with
you to the Thanksgiving service.

Charlie WRIGHT in partnership with Walter LINDLEY of Americus, has bought a 400
acre farm near Americus.  Charlie expects to sell his farm here and move to his
new place.

All those from here who visited South Georgia recently tell some very glowing
tales about how easy they are making money down there.  But wait and see -
you'll never find all the possum's up one tree.

Walter DOBBINS and family spent Sunday at Cartersville.

Cobb County can boast of something every county hasn't got - the boll weevil.

The cotton crop will fall much below what was expected.  The freeze cut off the
crop.

Those who have gone to hear Billy Sunday like his sermons and advise others to
go and hear him.

A gloom was cast over our community at the sudden death of Mrs Newt. SCOTT, nee
Miss Monnie Lee THACKSTON.  She died Monday evening leaving an infant boy a few
hours old.  She was the oldest daughter of Mr and Mrs J R THACKSTON.  She was
married to Mr Newt. SCOTT Nov 1st, 1916, and he survives her.  She was a member
of Lost Mountain Baptist Church.  A devoted wife just entering the threshold of
married life with its duties and responsibilities, no doubt with many bright
prospects before this couple for a bright and happy home.  Suddenly one is
taken, the wife called into eternity bringing sadness and disappointment to the
husband, and this reminding each of us we are sojourners and this is not our
abiding place.  The funeral will be conducted Wednesday morning at Midway at 11
o'clock where she will be laid to rest.  We extend our sympathy to the bereaved
ones.
