Sandersville Progress
  This place is situated seven miles west of Sandersville, near Buffalo Creek, 
where we take our summer resorts, hunting and fishing. We have only one small 
country store, a church, and a school-house here, but the community is thickly 
settled.
  The farmers of this section have planted but little corn up to now, (the 
20th) on account of the unfavorable weather, but they are ready, willing and 
waiting.
  Our school of fifty-two scholars, taught by Prof. N. Bateman, which has been 
reduced to fourteen, on account of measles, is slowly improving in the past few 
days, and we hope he will soon have full attendance.
  Rev. C.T. Bickley will fill his regular appointment here on the first Sunday, 
and Saturday before, in March. We hope to have a large attendance.
  We are having a large and flourishing Sunday school here every Sunday evening 
at two o'clock. Everybody invited to attend, both young and old.
  Miss Susie Smith of near Bethel attended Sunday school here last Sunday.
  Mr. T.A. Curry of this place captured a fine mink a few days ago that had 
been feasting on his chickens.
  We are glad to learn that Mr. Joe Brown, who has been on the sick list for 
some time, is somewhat improving.
  There has been some talk of a Post Office being established here. A petition 
has been forwarded to headquarters but has not yet been heard from.
  The people of this community have been lucky dodging the measles. We have had 
only two or three cases which are now well.
  Mrs. New visited her father, Mr. Wm. Doolittle on Sunday last and was 
heartily welcomed by her many friends and relatives.
