The meetings were well attended and considerable interest was manifested at each service. At the Missionary Baptist Church Sunday night candidates for admission received during the recent revival were baptized by the pastor, Rev. W.W. Arnold. Nineteen candidates were baptized. The service was a most impressive one and was attended by a large congregation. Superior Court The May term of Upson Superior Court will convene next week. The officers of the court have been busy for several days getting everything in readiness. As usual there will be heavy dockets of both civil and criminal business. Just how much will be disposed of is problematical. There is plenty of business to run the full two weeks but it is not known whether court will be held that long. The cases on the civil docket will be called as they appear and the whole docket finished as soon as possible, it is understood. The Butler Herald Tuesday, June 8, 1915 Page Five Clipped From Our Contemporaries Thomaston Times The Time has been requested by Messrs. Thad Persons and J.F. Hammons, of Yatesville, to issue a challenge to the marble players of Upson County for games at times and places to be agreed upon. George Moore, a bout about 18 years of age was accidentally killed at the Thomaston Cotton Mills Monday afternoon about 6 o’clock. Accounts differ as to the exact manner of his death but is reported that he was playing with the elevator and while swinging from one of the steam heat pipes in the ceiling of one of the rooms lost his hold, falling to the floor, the shock causing his death as no bones were broken in his body.
