The Monroe Advertiser (Forsyth, Georgia), 18 July 1929 July 18, 1929
     The historic Thurmond mills have been repaired; additional machinery; a 
new dam and over-shot waterwheel installed, and we are now ready to take care 
of our old customers or any new ones who may see fit to patronize us.  The new 
machinery was designed and planned by Prof. W. D. Thurmond, who served an 
apprenticeship under his father, Wm. H. Thurmond, late of this county, before 
he entered the profession of teaching; was the manager and mechanical engineer 
of the Thurmond Car Coupling Co., of New York city and in which he gained 
considerable reputation as an inventor and master mechanic.
     The singing at Mt. Pleasant church on July 4 was all things considered, a 
signal success, and will long be remembered by all whose happy lot was to 
attend.  A most excellent dinner was prepared and served by the good and 
liberal women of the community, and many hearts were made happy; leaving sweet 
memories to go down in the history of dear old Mt. Pleasant.  We had some 
excellent and fine singers present, among whom were Chas. J. Strozier, T. J. 
Cooper, W. H. Horton, S. P. Strickland, P. F. Allen, of Macon; J. M. Allen of 
Fort Valley; Mr. and Mrs. Owen of Barnesville; Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Lunsford, of 
Forsyth, and others.
     There has been scheduled a big singing and barbecue at Tabernacle church 
on July 25 at Brent, to which the public and all leaders in singing are 
cordially invited to attend.
     The protracted meeting at Mount Pleasant will begin on next Sunday, July 
21, and continue through the week, except on Thursday on account of the 
barbecue and singing at Tabernacle that day.  The services will be conducted 
by Rev. Mr. Moseley of Forsyth and we hope the people of that and adjoining 
communities will encourage him by their presence.
