■ Next Meeting at Sandy Creek Church
near Staley—Clerk Desires Re
port from Churches
I am today sending out the uniform
associational letter blanks to the
churches of the Sandy Creek Baptist
Association. Should any clerk fail
’ to receive same kindly write me and
I will forward another copy by re
turn mail.
The Association meets this year
on Thursday and Friday, October Ist
and 2nd, with the Sandy Cpeek
church, two and one-half miles west
of Staley. The church is more com
monly known as Shady Grove.
Please remember the motion passed
in 1922 at Rocky River church, “That
the clerk be requested to distribute
the minutes to the churches in pro
portion to the money sent up by the
’ various churches for the purpose of
printing same.” This report was a
mended with the request that the
clerk send at least 3 copies to
churches financially unable to send up
any money for minutes.
Twenty-two churches failed to send
in any minute fund last year. It is
very important that the pastor and
the clerk be furnished a copy of the
minutes, so if your church is financi
ally unable to send up a minute
fund let me know now and it will be
my pleasure to send you at least 3
copies.
The following brethren were ap
pointed to arrange program for this
meeting: Rev. J. E. Ayscue, C. C.
Poe, T. H. Dunlap, J. R. King and
D. B. Teague.
I am very anxious to get a report
from every church in the Association
this year; so please send me, at least,
the name of your pastor, clerk, and
treasurer, with their addresses.
Yours for a bigger, better, Associa
tion.
H. A. TEAGUE, Clerk
Sandy Creek Baptist Association.
Hilliard-Elkin Perry Reunion
It was a memorable day with the
people who gathered at Bear Creek
church, August 19. By 11 o’clock
there had gathered people from the
surrounding country, also from
Greensboro, Durham, Sanford and
other places. At 11:30 the people
gathered in church where song ser
vice was rendered and prayer was
offered.
An organization began. Mr. J. W.
Cheek, of Bear Creek, was elected
President, he being a descendant of
the Perry family. Mr. Lester Hil
liard, representing the Hilliard family,
was elected Vice-President. Mr. R.
W. Elkin was chosen as Assistant, he
representing the Elkin family. Miss
Emma Hilliard was elected secretary.
After organization Dr. Gregg, of
Liberty, proceeded to give a historical
sketch of the early settlers of the
Hilliard family, as he found it in the
colonial records*. He told them he
found that the Colonial Records show
that there were three brothers of the
Hilliard family that came to Amer
ica from Sweden in 1770. They
fought in the Revolutionary War and
afterwards one settled in Halifax,
one in Virginia, and one in Georgia.
And from what he could find they
need not be ashamed of their fore
fathers. He did not take time to
search the records of the Perry fam
ily, as it consumed so much time.
He found the Perry settlers covered
thirty-four pages in the Colonial
Records; that they were of the stock
of Admiral Perry whom history tells
us about.
And he found the Elkins also had
some noted men. He doubted if three
other families connected could be
found that produced a better record
of their forefathers than these three.
Dr. Gregg was asked by members
of these to search the Colonial Rec
ords and get all the information he
can of the Elkins and Perrys, and
give it to them next reunion.
After giving historical the sketch,
he spoke on how important it is that
we should live so our coming gener
ations shall be proud of us. The next j
reunion will be held at Goldston, N.
C. in July or August.
After a benediction, everybody was
invited to go to the table in the grove,
where was spread a grand dinner. It
was an enjoyable occasion, and we
hope to see a larger attendance next
\ ONE PRESENT
THE SIX-COUNTY FAIR
To the People of Chatham County:
Some of you good people do not
understand why Chatham county was
included in the Mebane Six-County
Fair district. The answer is that
the Fair ingrowing and desires to
spread its influence. It is doing good
in Orange and Alamance, it can do
good in Person, Chatham or Durham
counties. Durham county was glad
to come in and co-operate with us
and we believe Chatham will co
operate also. What do we ask you
to do? Simply to come to our fair
and get your part of the $5,000 in
premiums offered to exhibitors.
Bring your hogs, stock, crons, any
thing to show and advertise Chatham.

two hands. Rev. J. Lee Johnson did
the preaching during the meeting and

FORMER CHATHAMITE
DIES IN GEORGIA
Veteran Riddle Off for Final Reunion
of His Comrades
Mr. D. W. Riddle, a confederate
soldier, who moved from this state
twenty-three years ago, died at his
home in Vidalia, Ga., August 10th.
His body was brought back and laid to
rest in his native soil August 13th, at
old Buffalo Presbyterian church, now
Sanford cemetery. The old church
was the church of his youth and the
cemetery the old family burying
ground. • ,
He volunteered and entered tne
army at the age of twenty-two and
remained in service till the close ot
the war, but was confined in Raleigh
with pneumonia at the time of the
surrender. . . .
He was in Johnson’s division, was
devoted to his war comrades and en
joyed nothing better than attending
the reunions. He even went to Dal
las, Texas, where the last reunion was
held in May, though his health was
then very poor. His family urged
him not to go, thinking it would be
too much for his feeble strength, but
so eagerly did he insist on going that
his family physician thought best to
yield to his wishes. He was a native
of Moore, but lived a part of his life
in Chatham where he was married to
Miss Laura Lloyd.
He leaves a wife and many rela
tives to mourn their loss.
