C BREEZY BUDGET FROM I BENSON BAILIWICK. THIRTY-TWO ACCESSIONS TO CEDAR SWAMP CHURCH-ADVANTAGES OF A FINE COMMUNITY. / Benson, October 23: ? Quite a crowd attended services at Cedar Grove Baptist church Sunday afterP"*~booa to witness the formal receiving into the church of the thirty-two applicants for membership who were recently immersed in Black river by ^ their pastor. Rev W E Hurt. The ^"new members were nineteen men and thirteen women. This neighborhood has two churches, Methodist and Baptist, within a mile of each - other.with services alternating, which gives the church-going people an opportunity to hear the Gospel preached each Sunday. There is perfect Kormnnv and hrntherlv love existing toward each congregation, notwithstanding the difference of belief along denominational lines. Were it not for the intervening trees in Cedar swamp the two churches would be in view of each other, with K^the graded school near by and the l^ftjostoftice located between the PK-hurches. Having a daily mail, getting our State papers and other mail matter at noon each day. besides a fine telephone connection with Kingsfct tree and Rhem's store at B.ooming& vale, we feel that we ar-' happily situated for countrv folk. & ,*yy-'.iidn't begin this article to ad6fS-?^Vise our community, but one thought developed another, and we would like to add that Cedar Swamp lands are second to none and a fine supply of pure drinking water from - deep wells and artesian flows contributes to the health of our pro\ gressive little neighborhood.

Having tl sat by his side during two sessions of 1 the General Assembly, we came to b know him well and he was a man one n had to know to appreciate at his a true worth. I Of sterling integrity and unaffect- J ' ? -1 j V eo innceniy, ne natea snsms, ?uu i hypocrisy had no place in his heart. , He loved his fellow-man and in his g political career he impressed one as ? being more anxious to serve his people than to advanse his own interests.
