Boyhood and Other Days in Georgia Boyhood and Other Days in Georgia BY George W Yarbrough, D.D. Superannuate Member or the North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South Edited by H. M. DU BOSE, D.D. BOOK EDITOR METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH NASHVILLE, TENN. DALLAS, TEX.J RICHMOND, VA. PUBLISHING HOUSE OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH SMITH & LAMAR, AGENTS 1917 EDITOR'S NOTE Biography is the soul of history; without it the annals of no nation would possess relevancy or carry a teaching force. The present volume belongs to the class of biography, but it is biography of a unique character; it is doubtful if it has a parallel in our literature. During the latter years of a min- isterial career of more than half a century, Dr. George W Yarbrough, one of the veteran itinerants of the North Georgia Annual Conference, has been associating his maturest thoughts on all great subjects and the results of his happiest medita- tions with a record of the passing incidents and reminiscences of his life. These records have taken shape in a series of newspaper articles which, from the printing of the first, many years ago, attracted general attention in the Church and have been repeatedly called for in the permanent form of a book. To these reminiscential writings have been added several dis- courses and addresses which, for the most part, are carried along with the same historical and reminiscential current. Also there have been added some personal sketches and stories which give to the volume a delightful flavor of quaintness and indigenous humor. The author is himself that catholic man in whom all happy moods and pleasant aptitudes unite. His writings only express his natural self. From his own personal experience in going through these chapters preparatory to sending them to the press the editor feels confident that they are to have a wide reading, that they are to carry a message and ministry of inspiration and cheer, and that they are also to appeal with a true literary force and effectiveness. They are full of consciousness, genuineness, and faith, and overflow with the love of the grand old man who gave them shape, not with the purpose of making a book of them, but of making them voice, each at the time of its writing, the measure of the honest, happy, Christlike soul that all men know him to be. In some useful way there is in these 3 BOYHOOD AND OTHER DAYS IN GEORGIA papers an inside history of the Methodism of Georgia for the past fifty years. Voices will herein be heard that otherwise had become silent; others that never can be hushed will be heard again, each in its own accents. Every younger man in the ministry of the Church who reads these chapters will real- ize that giants were afoot in the days just behind him, and that at least one of these mighty ones remains to tell how the deeds of those days were made possible. As a fitting part of this introduction to Dr. Yarbrough's volume, the editor appends here a letter to him from Dr. Young is itself a token of might. J. Allen, whose name These two were comrades in college and were knit together in life as one soul. The letter, which is dated at No. 90 Chapoo Road, Shanghai, China, January 24, 1905, reads as follows: My Dear Old Friend: The mail bringing the Wesleyan of December 1, containing appointments of the North Georgia Conference, after an un- usual delay, has just reached me; and as the interval is already long since our last letters were passed, I avail myself of this opportunity to write you again immediately after ascertaining your post office. I see that you have completed the entire circuit of the Conference, one grand revolution of forty-seven years bringing you back to the point of departure in 1857. Well, my dear old comrade, I must congratulate you. What sights and scenes and notable experiences have been yours ! And now you return laden with the spoils of years to enrich those who, like yourself, in the days gone by are gathered at the dear old village and Alma Mater, pre- paring to take up the grand march for the conquest of the world. I wish I could be with you once again and revisit and recall the places and expe- riences of those "brave days of old," when we had a "heart for any fate." Our lines have widely diverged since then; but, thank God! long before we heard of wireless telegraphy we had that equally—yea, more—wonder- ful revelation of spiritual communion, the fellowship of the skies, which has never failed. The Wesleyan's report of the Conferences, North and South, were very meager; and had it not been for a sight of the Atlanta Constitution, I should be in almost entire ignorance of what was done outside the usual minute business of the session. I have just had my usual Conference letter from dear George Gilman. He referred to you most affectionately, and of himself he spoke rather pathetically. A letter from Bishop Galloway also mentioned you and George Smith and Cofer and Candler—to all of whom he referred most tenderly as speaking of my dear absent friends of whom he knew I should be glad to hear. Well, now, my dear "Yarberry," you will be surprised to hear of a new name which you have recently acquired in your old age. Your recent 4 BOYHOOD AND OTHER DAYS IN GEORGIA article in the Wesleyan about Chalmers and his experience fell into my hands at an opportune moment, and so I translated it into Chinese and made it the basis of an editorial for the next number of the Chinese Chris- tian Advocate (February). But I could not translate your name, and so had to transliterate it; and in Chinese it has become "Yarbooloo," almost Apollo. But to the Chinese it is all the same; really much better so, for the Asiatic is no more a match for the pronunciation of pure English words than an American is for the pronunciation of Chinese. In fact, in order to get along at all we missionaries have to surrender on arrival here and submit to be renamed altogether and then learn the language; otherwise our mission would be one protracted or impossible undulating, a genuine non possumus. Well, George, as I see it, now is your opportunity to give us that long- promised book. It has had a long incubation or gestation and should be something large, either an albatross or an elephant. Your articles in the Wesleyan have prepared your way, for all your friends now know what to expect of "Yarberry " or, better still, "Yarbooloo." My name, by the way, is not Young J. Allen in China, except among Europeans and Ameri- cans, but "Ling Lo-Chee," or, in Chinese, as on the card which I inclose. I fear you will not find many of the dear old friends left among the good citizens of Oxford. The Stewarts, I suppose, are still there, and I wish to be remembered particularly to them. Your sister Mollie (Mrs. Haygood) I have lost sight of. She is due me a letter; but none has come for more than a year, and I should like to know her address. Please write me soon and locate yourself at Oxford, for I should like to know just where you are living; and please tell me something of the dear old friends there and elsewhere. Such "personals" would be greatly enjoyed. Tell me about Lovett, Cofer and Candler, Glenn and George Smith, and any of the "boys" whose lives and lines have crossed ours. all I must close now. With kindest regards to Sister Yarbrough and your family, believe me, my dear "old-log"* comrade, ever Yours affectionately, Young J. Allen. It is also to the suggestion of Dr. Allen that this volume owes its title, "Boyhood and Other Days in Georgia." No little interest for many will be added to the book by this asso- ciation of his name with its title. H. M. Du Bose. Nashville, Tennessee, March 15, 1917. *The "old log" was the rallying place for our grove meetings during visit the home- our revivals at Oxford. When Dr. Allen made his first to Oxford, to the land after going to China, he went, soon after reaching fragment of it and old log, which had begun to crumble. He picked up a ground," as it is still to the carried it to China. That was "hallowed G. Y. attenuated line of his survivors who prayed with him there. W. 5 PREFACE My life has been undulating. There has been in it less of monotony than of anything else. If I were to leave to the public an autobiography, its read- ers, if they should become interested in it and should be asked to give a reason for it, might reply, like the man found intent- ly engaged in the perusal of a dictionary: "We like to read it because it changes the subject so often." I have climbed the mountains and have luxuriated in the valleys ; the great cities have opened their wonders to me, and I have gone from them into the quiet and simplicity of the country; I have mingled with the great and have been happy with the lowly. In the mansions of the white man I have shared an abounding hospitality and have relished a frugal repast in the cabin of the negro; I have been honored with the companionship of the learned and have received from those of less attainments many contributions to the education of a side of my life without which any life is sadly deficient.

Since 2010, WLLA has been trying to get the Pearns to pay them thousands of dollars in “dues” or “assessments,” even though their property is not a part of Walker Lake and is not subject to WLLA assessments. That is essentially what two different judges have found. Amelia has recorded this battle in a very detailed manner at the website www.shoholapa.com. One entry that points to the confus- ing relationship between WLLA and Maple Park is this: “Most of Maple Park [about 30 homes] gets some form of ‘billing’ from this HOA [homeowners association]. Some pay, some don’t. Some get sued, some don’t.” The Pearns took title to the property in 2007, and the first billing from WLLA came in 2010; it was for “nonpayment of association dues, $5,440.90 plus attorney’s fees.” The matter went to Magis- terial District Court, where Magistrate Alan Cooper determined that the couple owed $15 per year to WLLA for “water mainte- TRR photo by Amanda Reed nance.” Given the three-year period under consideration, late fees This picture was taken during the solar eclipse on August 21 on the Pennsylvania side of the Upper Delaware River, across the and court costs, the judge ruled that the Pearns owe WLLA $235.

    PROLOGUE THE SOCIETY OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM New Narratives Of A Reimagined Future Synthesized As The Integral Vision Of S3K “Because of the interconnectedness of all minds, affirming a positive vision may be about the most sophisticated action anyone of us can take.” —Willis Harmon, Global Mind Change “A developing brain is a sort of snowballing cognitive leviathan that adapts to everything and anything close to it. Learning is one aspect of extreme plasticity, and creativity another. Any species that can do such things as play with the world, imagine it, remember it, and expand its cir- cles of experience…will ultimately start to experiment.” —Merlin Donald, A Mind So Rare “If we can reimagine possibility it can result in an entirely new vision of how to create lasting change in our communities. Not in a dreamy, wish- ful, [naïve] sense, but rather through a bold and courageous commitment to practical and specific measures grounded in the daily experience of what has been proven to work over and over again but has not been tried on a large enough scale.” —Bill Shore, Revolution of the Heart “We need visions these days. Not the prognostications of cybergeeks and marketers and statisticians and trend-mongers who try to tell us where we’ll end up if we continue in the direction we’re going. Useful as these predictions may be, we’ve got plenty of those kinds of visions. What we need are visions of society the way we want it to be. Creative, seemingly impractical, catalytic visions of human possibility and achievement can inspire and motivate us to change our lives and the world.” —Eric Utne, Visionaries: People and Ideas to Change Your Life.

  • A Visit to North Spain at the Time of the Eclipse of 1860
    422 VACATION TOURISTS, AND [Spain and Eclipse. 12. A VISIT TO NORTH SPAIN AT THE TIME OF THE ECLIPSE. BY EKANCIS GALTON, F.RS. A direction was given to my summer rambles by the desire of witnessing the solar eclipse of last June, and by the fact that the path of its totality, where nearest to England, lay across a country which I ardently longed to visit. The result was, that I applied for permission, and obtained it, to form one of the party of astronomers who, under the leadership of the Astronomer-Eoyal, were taken by H.M.S. Himalaya to Spain. The Himalaya is truly a noble vessel, and we were right imperially treated. Those whose experience has been drawn from coasting passenger-steamers, in English or Mediterranean waters, would hardly credit that anything floated comparable in spaciousness and luxury to this magnificent ship. And she is as fast and as easy, excepting a tendency to roll, as she is spacious and comfortable ; for we steamed out of Plymouth Sound on a Saturday forenoon, so steadily, that I hardly knew we were moving ; and on the Sunday night we were going at half-power, because we were too near the Spanish coast, whose bold outlines lay in full view on the early Monday morning. It was therefore with one of those feelings of contrast so often enjoyed by travellers, that I, with my eyes still toned to that dim English daylight in which we had just bade fare- well to our shores, found myself paddling up the Bilbao river in a small shore-going craft, under a full flood of southern F.

Korn’s cathartic alternative metal sound positioned the group among the most popular and provocative to emerge during the post-grunge era. Korn began their existence as the Bakersfield, California-based metal band LAPD, which included guitarists James “Munky” Shaffer and Brian “Head” Welch, bassist Reginald “Fieldy Snuts” Arvizu, and drummer David Silveria. After issuing an LP in 1993, the members of LAPD crossed paths with Jonathan Davis, a mortuary science student moonlighting as the lead vocalist for the local group Sexart. They soon asked Davis to join the band, and upon his arrival the quintet rechristened itself Korn. After signing to Epic’s Immortal imprint, they issued their debut album in late 1994; thanks to a relentless tour schedule that included stints opening for Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, and 311, the record slowly but steadily rose in the charts, eventually going gold. Its 1996 follow- up, Life Is Peachy, was a more immediate smash, reaching the number three spot on the pop album charts. The following summer, they headlined Lollapalooza, but were forced to drop off the tour when Shaffer was diagnosed with viral meningitis. While recording their best-selling 1998 LP Follow the Leader, Korn made national headlines when a student in Zeeland, Michigan, was suspended for wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the group’s logo (the school’s principal later declared their music “indecent, vulgar, and obscene,” prompting the band to issue a cease-and-desist order).
