Mount Olive United Methodist Church
Webster County Georgia
The Mount Olive United Methodist Church was founded on 3 October 1871 is a testament to rural Georgia. The church stands today, as it did those many years ago, just inside the Webster County line, a country church that has endured these many years due to a grass roots commitment to God, a sense of fellowship, and a heart felt love of country and gospel music.
This sense of fellowship and love for God was most evident on a recent hot and humid July evening when the church sponsored a “buzzard picking” bar-b-que and gospel sing. The evening started with the bar-b-que and covered dish supper. Later, after everyone visited the hog spread out over the coals for at least a second time, mulled over the large variety of pies and cakes, the music started.

Keynote for the night was Walter Bailes. Walter and his brother Johnnie, now deceased, left the hills of West Virginia in 1944 to join the Grand Ole Opry. After a brief stay with the Opry, they left to become founding members of the Louisiana Hay Ride. Everyone joined together with Walter to open the evening with “America the Beautiful”, then followed such sweet harmony as “Amazing Grace”, the “Great Speckled Bird”, and “Great Reunion”. Later as the church fell silent, Walter, with graying hair and a voice golden in its years sang the tune that made the Bailes Brothers famous, “Dust on the Bible”.
Though Walter’s golden voice echoed in that old church, the night was enraptured with the addition of local musicians and the caring hearts and fellowship of the members of Mount Olive. There was a bass fiddle from Columbus, a steel guitar from Americus, a dobro from Smiths, Alabama, a fiddle from Cusseta, a banjo from Columbus and various other instruments and musicians from Americus, Columbus and surrounding communities. Ned Stinson of Phoenix City, Alabama joined in harmony with Walter and the other musicians to provide a true country gospel sing reminiscent of our yesteryears. For those of us that by the Grace of God are Southern, it’s easy to see that a little of Mount Olive is in each of us. That night, in that little heart of pine country church the music flowed through those yesteryears echoing a simpler time of dusty roads. Cool well water and sweet magnolia smiles..
What a South it could be if we could all capture the essence of the music as it captured Miss Bonnie Campbell of Cusseta. Her body moved with the rhythm, the music flowing through her as easily as the mountain streams flow over the rhododendron covered hills from which much of gospel music hails. And there was Susie whose full bodied voice invoked memories of Red Foley, Roy Acuff, Miss Maybelle and all the stars of the Grand Ole Opry.
Walking out of the church that evening, a summer shower had passed leaving the unforgettable smell of rain and the settling of dust on a Georgia red clay road. Paraphrasing another writer, when he said prayer is humbleness; you could not be humble with the wealth of music and fellowship of Mount Olive on a hot July night and God’s own gift of a summer shower.

The Story of Cpl Fletcher Perry
By Ray Davidson
The Kum River basin in Korea is far from Hilton, Ga. and the watershed of the Chattahoochee River. Yet on Saturday morning, July 15, 1950, as Corporal Fletcher Foy Perry looked at the low hanging fog over the Kum River it reminded him of his South Georgia home and his Chattahoochee River. He remembered when the fog would lay low over the Chattahoochee. A devoutly religious man his thoughts turned to his congregation at the Liberty Assembly of God Church in Cedar Springs; then bowing his head, he prayed for them and his deliverance from this war.
He was just bone tired on Saturday morning. The last hot meal he had was June 30th in Japan. He was on occupation duty in Japan with the 19th Infantry Regiment of the 24th Infantry Division. It was good duty. Post war Japan offered a contrast in life. Much of the country was destroyed and the people struggled to survive from day to day. Perry saw this but the people of Japan were building a new nation, they wanted peace and looked upon the Americans as friends. He truly felt welcomed by the people of Japan but that life was shattered on June 25th when the North Korea Peoples Army (NKPA) crossed the 38th parallel.
The United Nations quickly responded to the NKPA invasion and authorized member nation intervention. The 24 Inf. Div was put on alert and an advance group known as Task Force Smith left Tachikawa and arrived in Korea on July 1st. The spirits were high as Task Force Smith gathered at Tachikawa. Perry and his fellow soldiers were joking about how the NKPA would run back across the 38th parallel when they saw the 24th. The soldiers felt invincible they had won the fight in the pacific and stopped the Axis Powers in Europe. Korea would be a minor distraction. What Perry and the others did not know, they were about to face a modern Russian equipped Army of veterans of the war in China.
Arriving in Korea Task Forces Smith moved north and on the night of July 4 established defensive positions at Osan, across the Han River from Seoul. As day broke that morning 540 American soldiers were attacked by two regiments of NKPA supported by T34 Russian tanks. The T34 was a relative new tank and America had never faced them before.
Early that morning eight tanks approached Perry’s position. He watched as artillery scored direct hits. The tanks, undeterred, kept on coming. The 75mm recoilless rifles held their fire until the tanks were within 700 yards and scored direct hits to no avail. Even the bazookas could not stop them. Finally two T34’s were knocked out by a rocket launcher. The tank carcasses were pushed out of the way by other tanks and the rest of the tank battalion, 31 tanks moved forward knocking out the American artillery positions.
In essence, Task Force Smith took on two regiments of the North Korean 4th Division and thirty-three T34 tanks. Badly outnumbered and without armor, effective antitank weapons, or air support, the Task Force was overrun.
The next day, Colonel Smith could assemble only 250 men, half his original force. He then decided to withdraw using a leapfrog method. With reinforcing elements of the 34th and 21st Infantries the remainder of Task Force Smith employed delaying actions against the advance of the North Korean 3d and 4th Divisions along the corridor that ran south of Osan toward Taejon. They sought to delay the enemy’s approach to the Kum River.
The second deployment out of Japan for the 24th Infantry Division had arrived in Korea and set up defensive positions along the Kum River. On the morning of July 10 the rear guard of Task Force Smith, A and D Companies crossed the Kum. Orders came for L Company to counterattack. The first counterattack executed by American forces in Korea. As L Company head up the road they came across five men with hands tied behind their backs and shot in the head, a foreboding fate for American prisoners of war.
News quickly spread of the killing of Americans and a general fear of capture both motivated and struck fear along the troops at Kum River.
It was now Tuesday July 11th, a heavy fog lay over the Kum River valley. With the NKPA fast approaching, Wednesday and Thursday was spent blowing the bridges across the Kum and any boats found were burned of destroyed.
On July 14th the NKPA 4th and 3d Divisions penetrated the 34th and 19th Infantries’ forward defensive positions on the south side of the Kum River and inflicted substantial casualties. On Saturday major gaps were breached in the 24th infantry division’s lines. Then on the 16th at 3am a North Korean plane flew the length of Kum’s defenses and dropped a flare, signaling an all out assault by the NKPA. As the 19th Infantry Regiment of the 24th was overrun that day, Cpl Fletcher Foy Perry from Hilton, Georgia was taken prisoner.
Shorty Estabrook taken prisoner along with Perry and Everett Warren from Meigs, Georgia later summed up their emotions, “Capture is such a horrible and terrifying event. You don’t know what will happen to you. We had already seen men with their hands tied behind them and shot in the back of the head. You think that you, too, will be shot after being tortured.”
Initially beaten by his captors, Perry was moved back through the North Korean front lines. The NKPA troops repeatedly made attempts to hit or stab him. Perry and his fellow prisoners were marched to Seoul where they were housed for several weeks and interrogated by both Russian and Korean soldiers. The North Koreans took delight in reminding the POW’s that they were not prisoners of war but bandits and could be shot at the pleasure of their North Korean captors. The earlier reports of Americans with their hands tied and shot gave credence to the threats.
They were moved from Seoul to Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea by train. Already exhaustion and starvation were begging to take their toll but the injured prisoners suffered the most. They were no medical supplies and their wounds became infected in the sweltering heat and attracted maggots and flies.
On the train to Pyongyang, the guards were brutal. Estabrook recounts receiving a heavy blow to the back of his head, which fractured his skull and knocked him unconscious. He states, “Even after a half century it still gives me a severe migraine headache from time to time.” He later he received a Purple Heart Medal.
They arrived in Pyongyang on July 25th and were housed in an old school building. The housing was fairly adequate but they were given very little food and almost no water. Through the windows of the school building Perry watched U.S. planes dropping bombs around Pyongyang. “They hoped that their American colleagues would soon find and liberate them from the enemy, but at the same time, they knew what those bombs could do to them.” They spent ten days in the old school building, the food was meager but the lack of water was becoming a problem.
On September 5th, Perry and the other prisoners boarded a train again, not knowing their destination at the time, but they were headed to the frontier town of Manp’o Jin. They traveled at night to avoid the American bombers, and during the day, the prisoners were forced to leave the train and hide mountains, while the severely wounded soldiers remained in the cars. They were accompanied by a group of civilian internees who were mostly missionaries, diplomats and other mixed families taken captive in South Korea, just after the war started. This group included the Catholic Bishop Byrne, Catholic Monsignor Quinlan, Salvation Army Commissioner Herbert Lord, and other distinguished priests, ministers, Methodist missionaries, Catholic nuns, and persons of the diplomatic corps including the British traitor George Blake.
Perry’s journey was interspersed with hunger, abuse, death and summary executions. He was dehydrated by dysentery, lack of food and water took their toll. Cramped in the train cars, the smell of body odor and rotting flesh of the wounded compounded their misery. For Perry, Ernest Kelly, Emil Girona, Herman Driskell and Edgar Warren their torment was over. They never arrived in Manp’o Jin. Perry died on September 7th and his body was discarded along the railroad tracks.
Later, in October, the remaining prisoners were placed under a brutal Korean Major known only as the Tiger that would impose a 120 mile death march on the 758 remaining prisoners. When the armistice was signed in August 1953, 262 of the original 853 prisoners survived. Perry’s group of prisoners would later become known as the Tiger Survivors.
But the fate of the war was about to change, on September 15 in one of the most successful amphibious operations ever conducted. U.S. Marines of the 1st Marine Division, following in the wake of a heavy naval bombardment, stormed ashore deep in enemy territory at Inchon.
U.N. forces drove north of the 38th Parallel in early October, penetrating North Korean territory above Kaesong on Oct. 9. Another amphibious landing at Wonsan resulted in the Eighth Army taking over across the entire peninsula. Advances during October were so rapid that Pyongyang, the enemy capital, fell on Oct. 19. The day after Pyongyang fell, U.N. forces made the first paratroop attack of the war, when the 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team dropped at Sukchon and Sumchon, 25 miles north of Pyongyang.
During this time Perry’s body was found by advancing American troops and he was interned at a temporary United Nations Military Cemetery outside of Pyongyang. Later when the Chinese entered the war and UN troops fell back, the cemetery fell into Chinese and North Korean hands.
During Operation Glory, the exchange of war dead between North Korea and the Allies, Perry came home. His breath free from it restless tides of war, he lies under massive water oaks in Cedar Springs not far from his Chattahoochee.

Shellman, Chloe and Dream Time
Part one of a five part series
By Ray Davidson
Taking some time off, I rode out to Shellman, Georgia. Shellman, a quintestant community, has been ignored by time and the new age urban mentality. With only a handful of reference points; Main Street, Railroad Street and Randolph Southern School you can circumnavigate Shellman.
It is sad to see storefronts boarded up, an almost lifeless downtown, but one quickly finds that along Main Street and out by Randolph Southern School, Shellman is a robust community of friends and neighbors that have a strong sense of commitment and pride in this small Southern town.
I was lucky enough to be given a tour of one of the stately Shellman homes by Chloe. Artfully and with a beautiful soft Southern drawl she led my thoughts back to a dreamtime of magnolias, Southern Belles and our Cause. In my mind, I could picture Chloe, a mistress of a stately Southern plantation, with such pride in her culture and her fledgling nation, the Confederate States of America.
Southern women played a major role in the lives and times of the Confederacy’s brief existence. In our reverence of Bobby Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis, and other such Southern hero’s we too often over look the women of the Confederacy.
The Reverend John Levi Underwood, a native of Early County and a Chaplain and Captain in the Confederate Army, saw first hand the contributions women gave to the South and the Confederacy. In his book, The Women of the Confederacy, published in 1906, Underwood gives both personal and public testimony to Southern womanhood. His book contains the full text of a eulogy he gave to Confederate women at the dedication of the Cuthbert, Georgia Confederate Monument in 1896. In this speech Underwood stated, “Do you see that tender vine binding up the shattered tree and hiding its wounds? That is Southern woman clinging closer and more tenderly to father and husband when the storms beat upon him, comforting as only such Christian women can comfort; smiling only as such heroines can smile; with ‘toil-beat nerves, and care-worn eye,’ helping only as such women can help . . . showing the gems of Southern character washed up from its depths by the ocean of Southern woe”.
In citing the selflessness shown during the war he stated, “Our women gave their carpets to make blankets, their dresses to be made into shirts for the soldiers, and their linen to furnish lint for their wounds, and then, clad in home-spun, they gave themselves.”
He wrote of defiance when he recited two stories:
• A Union General Milroy had declared Marshal Law within his theater of operations restricting all movement of civilians from their homes. A local farmer, John Allen, had a milk cow that the family depended upon. His daughter, a spry 13 years old, went to see General Milroy to gain a pass to move the cow to pasture. General Milroy tartly replied, “I can’t do anything for you rebels and I will not let you pass. The rebellion has got to be crushed.” Little Miss Allen, not to be rebuffed, retorted, “Well, if you think you can crush the rebellion by starving John Allen’s cow, just crush away.”
• In another instance he cited a note written by Union General Sherman responding as to why he was making the wives and mothers of Confederate soldiers leave occupied Savannah, “You women are the toughest set I ever knew. The men would have given up long ago but for you. I believe you would keep this war up for thirty years.”
And perhaps it was a young Southern girl much like Chloe that inspired Underwood to write, “Gentle, but brave; modest, but independent. Seeking no recognition, the true Southern woman found it already won by her worth; courting no attention, at every turn it met her, to do willing homage to her native grace and genuine womanhood.”
So I have to say, thank you Shellman, and especially Chloe, for a moment of dreamtime. A dreamtime when the men and women of a new nation stood against a giant and suffered, as one, the humiliation of defeat. Though subjugated and with the banner furled, we must never forget. Bobby Lee, in 1870, responding to Union General Rosecrans’ request for a statement of reconciliation said, “If I had foreseen the use those people designed to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox Courthouse; no, sir, not by me. Had I foreseen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand.”

Subway Sandwiches
I’m a very picky eater… several years ago you couldn’t get me to eat at a Subway. Then one night on our way home from Indiana, my daughter and I stopped in the only eating place we could find open. You guessed it… a Subway Sandwich Shop! I was straved by that time, so I ordered my first footlong. It was actually very good. I wasn’t sure at the time if it was that good or if it was the hunger pangs that were telling me it was good.
Well, a long time has passed since that first Subway sandwich and I’ve visited a lot of other sub sandwich shops. I won’t mention their names and where they are located.

I’ve eaten subs from Florida to Indiana and everywhere in-between. I guess the worst experience was in Bainbridge and a lot of mediocre in other places also. But my favorite Subway is right where I live, Dawson, Georgia.
The service has always been great and the food quality has always been the best! Hats off to the workers at Dawson Subway!
Providence United Methodist Church
Providence United Methodist Church, Stewart County
from the upcoming book To Dance With Jesus

The Providence Methodist Church was founded in1832 when the Reverend David Walker Lowe gave two acres of land to the church community. The Reverend Lowe, one of the earliest settlers of this area of Georgia, along with the Worthington’s, Woodall’s, Humber’s and other settlers built a log church structure and schoolhouse about a hundred yards south of the present church. This log church overlooked an eroded hillside that, at that time, consisted of washed-out gullies about five to six foot deep and over 100 feet in length.
The Reverend Lowe was a direct descendent of Isaac Lowe, Sr. who settled near the present city of Augusta, even before Savannah was founded. When the western territories of Georgia were opened up for settlement, Lowe, along with his wife Jane Dorsey joined with the general migration of new settlers. Lowe was the first pastor of Providence Church and served from it’s founding until 1843.
As the settlers placed more land under plow the gullies became canyons and were given the same name as the church, Providence Canyons. In 1859 David Brady and Mitchell Moore deeded two acres for a new church. This land was adjacent to the church cemetery and placed the church well away from the rapidly eroding Providence Canyons.
The Church cemetery has about 100 graves only 81 are marked. The oldest grave is that of Richard Worthington, 1855. Fourteen veterans of the War Between the States sleep amongst the generations of Providence’s earliest settlers.
In 1938 the Stewart County purchased the canyon property from the descendents of the Worthington’s, Woodall’s, and Humber’s, anticipating the formation of a state park. The canyons were becoming known as a natural wonder in Georgia and was being referred to a the “Little Grand Canyons” as well as the “Royal Gorge of the Chattahoochee Valley”. In 1969 the bill to make the land a state park was presented to the State Legislature. Lester Maddox, Governor of Georgia, approved acquisition of the land in November 1970.
The Providence Canyon state park was officially opened on July 1, 1971 while Jimmy Carter was governor.
Today, within the shadow of David Walker Lowe’s little church, the Providence Canyon State Conservation Park consists of 1,100 acres, an interpretive center, picnic shelters, a group shelter, pioneer campgrounds and primitive camping. There are 3 miles of hiking trails and a 7-mile backcountry trail. The erosion has left breathtaking pink, orange, white, red and purple hued colors in the canyons’ walls. These colors magnify the beauty of the rare Plum leaf Azaleas and native wildflowers interspersed in the 150-foot deep canyons.
Sitting yards from the North rim of the canyon, the frame and heart of pine structure of the Providence Methodist Church lies idle for most of the year. The rustling of leaves and the laughter from the canyon do not disturb the solitude of Providence’s first settlers in their slumber. With the church silent, children’s laughter echoes up from the canyon walls and like a child’s lullaby hymn mourns and laments the passing of the church. Providence Methodist Church, like a diligent and lonely sentinel looks over the canyon and its visitors as it has for the past 170 years.

Standing Firm in Our Commitment to God
It is clear salvation is a free gift of God because as sinful beings, there is nothing we can do to obtain it on our own. All we have to do is accept it and do as He commands, standing firm in our commitment to the Lord through out our lives. Christ came to earth, born of the Virgin Mary, died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sins, and for our part we are called to believe in our hearts and confess with our lips before man that Christ is Lord. By doing so, we are making a commitment to God and receive power over sin, to change our lives. By devoting our life to Him, we are born again, a new creation; and our eyes are opened to His ways, which is opposite to the ways of the world.
As His Word is revealed to us, and our eyes are opened to the truth, we have the option as creatures of free will to either follow His commandments or turn back to the ways of the world. God is asking us not only to believe in Him, but also to show our commitment to Him by changing our lives. First we are told to turn from sin. Then Christ tells us the greatest commandment is to love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul, which is done by serving the less fortunate. God promises that the cross we are given to carry or the work He has for us will not be a burden and having the Spirit of the Lord with us, we have the ability to do as He asks.
To make this change from following the ways of the world to following the ways of the Lord is a choice we have to make on a daily basis. It is not a one-time decision we make, but is a journey that lasts until we die. It is a process, and the Lord is patient, but He wants to see the intention of our hearts during this process. It all sounds so simple; we accept salvation, make a commitment to the Lord, turn from sin and do the works He has for us to do. Well it is not as simple as it sounds because life happens.
Our Christian journey is one of maturing faith or in other words, the more we see the wonders of the Lord, the greater our faith becomes in Him. Even though we believe in our hearts and confess with our lips that Christ is Lord, it is still tough to follow His Word through service to others and turning from sin. It takes time to understand that His ways are superior to the ways of the world. Sure we all say we understand this concept, but when confronted with life’s problems and society’s morals we do not automatically do the right thing. We will never get it right all the time, but as I repeat myself, God looks at the intentions of our hearts and the progress we are making to live the life He commands us to.
Standing firm during the process of our maturing faith is essential to our salvation. In 1Corinthians 15:2 Paul says, “By this gospel you are saved, IF you hold firmly to the Word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.” Other verses that talk about standing firm in your commitment are, Mark 9:50, Matthew 24:12-13, and Colossians 1:22-23. As Christians, we are blessed beyond anything we can imagine, but are told we must do our part through the many choices we make daily to stand firm in our commitment to the Lord. As you grow in faith, the easier it becomes.

Why human resource planning is crucial to a successful business
Author: aarika rostogi
We all have seen businesses end-up in losses. While there are several reasons for their failures but lack of proper planning to manage the human resources they have at hand is today considered as one of the biggest factors that leads to the failure of businesses suffering losses or not performing as was expected of them. If you also own one such company that is not running well, then renew your strategy to manage your employees and you can expect the results shortly.
Today, it is a common knowledge, backed by many researches and studies that human resource management pays since it is the employees that work for a company. A careful analysis of what you are doing to your employees should always be in place in order to know if your current strategy is working or not.
The first thing that should come to your mind is whether or not your employee is satisfied working for your company. If they are not, then do not expect the desired results at all in terms of earning a good profit. Unsatisfied workforce simply means that more people will regularly be absent from work and turnover will be much lower than the potential of your company. But what worries more is that quality of work in the company will suffer.
A way to solve the issue is to hire a well qualified and highly experience human resource management officer who can take care of every aspect of employee relations. Such a responsible personal should be able to reduce the stress that gradually builds up in the workers for varied reasons. Remember that the less stressed are your employees the more productive they are for your organization.
So, what should you do to address the problem related to employee relations? Well, there is a lot to be done. Ensure that you give them equal opportunity to all of your workers so that there is no discrimination and no frustration building-up in them. Make it certain that the workers get their payments without delay and past payments are cleared as soon as possible.
While most of the organizations are busy making profits, do not forget the importance of employing the right people so that you can avoid waste of capital resources. Unqualified persons will only waste your money and therefore proper planning of employment is crucial.
A strategy for better human resource planning is to ask for the ideas from your employees. That will clearly give the message to the employees that efforts for their well being are being made by the company. Their active participation in solving their own problems in the office is considered as a good solution to encourage them for more productive work.
You can not pin-point that only a certain strategy will work. This is because you are dealing with humans and not with the machines. So, always be flexible in your approach towards human resource planning and be willing to adopt new ideas, wherever they may come from.
