HE TABERNACLE
MEETING.
Mrs- Sam Jones Writes to the
News and Courant-
TELLS OF WINONA LAKE-
Fine Array of Talented Preachers
to be Here in September-“Chil
drens’ Day” a Feature,
On the morning of the 6th of
August, after saying good bye to
our loved ones in Cartersville, we
stepped aboard the W. & A. train
for Chattanooga, speeding away
through the hills of North Geor
ofa, Tennessee, Kentucky and on
to Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. Af
ter two days’ journey- we arrived
♦at "Beautiful Winona.” ' Here we
met Mr. Jones. He had broken
down in his work and had come
here for a week’s rest and recup
eration, and there is no place on
the American continent better
adapted to rest than here.
Winona Lake is in the northern
part of Indiana, 125 miles east of
Chicago, on the Pennsylvania rail
road, the direct line from Chicago
to New York. There is a repre
sentative people here from this
state, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois,
Texas, etc We find everything
here to make the time pass pleas
antly—sports such as golf, tennis,
bathing and boating, and they
have on the platform some of the
best talent that the country can
boast of.
People who are denied the privi
leges of the chautauquas do not
realize that they are one of the fin
est educational advantages this
age affords for old and young.
There arc many of the people here
again that we met last summer.
There is no other chautauqua I
have visited (and I have been to
many of the best) where we have
the fine social features that we
have at this place. This is one of
its chief attractions. Everybody
seen.s anxious to make every one
else happy and have a good time,
looking always on the sunny side
of life.
The Woman's Club entertained
the visiting ladies at four o’clock
on Weduesdsy afternoon. We
were ali invited aboard an immense
barge and w r e were towed out by
the beautiful little steamer “Wel
come,” midway the lake and then
anchored. TJ[) committee on en
tertainment had arranged a most
delightful programme of music,
recitations, etc., then followed de
lightful refreshments. After an
hour spent thus, the little steamer
glided back and took us ashore.
A rising vote of thanks was given
the club and the usual chautauqua
salute of waving of the handker
chiefs, and we went ashore. It was
pronounced with one accord a most
novel and charming entertainment.
There is one department of Chris
tian work here that I have become
much interested in, and that is the
fiesb Sir camps for the waifs of the
surrounding cities. Just of
tbe chautauqua grounds proper
there is a beautiful knoll known
as Chicago Hill and this is where
the tents are arranged The chris
tian people have committees who
take charge of these children and
some of the mothers who are privi
leged to come with them and they
arrange everything possible for
their comfort and good, physical
and spiritual. They ha\ e visiting
committees who read to them, and
they have prayer meeting and Sun
day school. They are taken in
bathing and tliev are also given
tbe privileges of the ball grounds.
T lev are alwavs attended by one
the different committees. The
Wiuona Assembly lurnishes the
entile camping equipment aud tbe
Indianapolis News provides money
lor defraying the expenses to and
fro, and all other expenses of the
Pip. Last week,there were 125 boys
and mothers: this week 90 girls
and seven mothers. Special trains
bring ana take them over the Big
Four railroad, aud after they get
here, all that loving hands and
hearts can do is done for them.
This will be an oasis in their lives.
Why should not Atlanta do like
wise? In a word, there is no other
place like Winona with its beau
tiful lake, restful groves, fine asso
ciation, educational advantages and
religious influences. There are
mauy thirgs of which I might tell
THE NEWS AND COURANT.
you but foi fear of tiring your
readers, I desist. i
I now want to sav some things
to you in reference to our annual
tabernacle meeting, which will be
gin on the Sth of September and
continue until the 15th. Mr. Jones
would have me say that wc will
have with us this year Dr. Monk,
whom we all know and love and
will be glad to have with us again.
Mr. Charles Crittenden, the found
er of the Florence Crittendeu Home,
will also be here and Mr. L-‘tP.
Brown, of Meridian, Miss., who
was with us several years ago*and
gave us such fine and helpful bible
reading. Dr. Bascom Anthony, of
Savannah, Ga., son of Rev. J. D.
Anthony, who has been known as
the bishop of the wire r.iss re
gion, whom we have had in f rm r
years at our meeting and whose
preaching was so acceptable and
helpful; Revs. Dickey. Byrd, John
son and Bigham, of Ala ita, Dr.
Cofer, of LaGrauge and others.
We will have this year anew feat
ure at our meeting, that of Chil-. ;
drens’ Day, which will be led by
the great Sunday school man, R.
P. Reppard, of Savannah. He
will select one day during the week
and when he indicates to us the
day he will be there, we will ad
vertise it fully so that all the chil
dren of the county may come in.
We trust that this will be the best
aud most helpful meeting we have
ever held in the tabernacle and
that all the Christian people will
pray that we will have such a
meeting as we so much need in
Cartersville and Bartow county,
and that the spirit of God may rest
mightily upon the people.
We will remain here during the
bible conference, which opens Sun
day, the most profitable week of
the summer. The best and most
consecrated men of the Presby
terian church at large and many
other denominations, take part in
this conference. The meetings
this week are being conducted by
Dr. R. J. McNeil, of Kilmacolm,
Scotland. He is a native of Scot
land and speaks in that peculiar
and beautiful brogue. He is a man
of fine personality and is listened
to with great interest and edifica
tion by all who hear him. Next
week, the meetings will be in
charge of Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman,
who is at the head of this confer
ence.
Mr. Jones will join us on the
22d and will address the confer
ence by special request. We leave
here on the morning of the 26th,
and will stop over at Cincinnati
and Louisville. There we spend
I four days at the Masonic Conclave,
then home and we are always glad
to turn our faces homeward. There
is no place so dear as the red hills
of Georgia.

BUILDING COLLAPSES.
Byrd Printing Establishment Com
pletely Wrecked,
£ tlanta, Ga,, August 17. —The
rear wall of the large building be
tween Whitehall and Broad streets
with an entrance front on the rail
road track, gave way today at 10:30
o’clock and fell with a crash,shak
ing the whole block and wrecking
the entire structure.
The building was occupied by
the Byrd Printing Company, and
beneath the ruins is buried one of
the most complete and valuable
printing and binding outfits in the
south.
But for apparently providential
ly directed warning by a loud
crackling noise caused by the first
giving away of the wall, the .cas
ualties would have been appalling.
111 the establishment was em
ployed a large force of men, wo
men, girls and boys, who barely
had time to heed the calls of .varn
ing from people outside and es
cape, many of them with hats,coats
and other clothing left the doom
ed building.
The entire outfit of the concern
was buried under tons of debris
aud it will be many days before it
can be removed and the damage
ascertained.

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22. 1901.
GATHERING OF
HE VETERANS.
Tabernacle and Grounds Present
an Inspiring Scene-
AS . BOYS OF THE SIXTIES-
With Their Family and Friends
Mingle In a Notable Reunion.
Y esterday.
The marching of the fragmentary
representatives of the Southern
Cause in the civil war, the hearty
hand grasps, the joyous smile, the
glow of happiness pervasive of
each countenance, the mingling
and chatting and waim greetings
made up a scene yesterday at the
fabernackle grounds challenging
the recolection and impressing the
casu il bystander.
The reunion of the 23d Ge r o ia
in which the P M. B Young camp
of veterans, the Daughters of the
Confederacy and Pettit’s Creek
Farmers club joined, was a glo
rious success in every way. The
occasion was intended to be, in ad :
dition to the first design, the 23d
Georgia’s reunion, a reunion also
of the veterans of the county.
The crowd present was estima
ted at about 2500 people.
The two morning trains brought
the survivors of the 23d Georgia
except the home contingent, aud
these were met i t the depot by lo
cal veterans.
The veterans all formed in line
and marched from the depot to the
ground, the 23d Georgia men,wear
ing bright, new badges, in front.
These numbered about fifty, while
of the other veterans there were
about two hundred.
The assemblage was under the'
tabernacle and the exercises were
opened about 11 o’clock by prayer
by Rev. A. W. Bealer.
The song America was sung
faultlessly and with spirit by the
well known home quartette, after
which. Judge T. W. Milner wel
comed the veterans in a splendid
speech.
After music again came the re
sponse on behalf of the 23d Geor
gia by Capt. R. M. Mitchell, of
Ac worth, whose speech was a wor
thy effort.
Mrs. ‘Cunyus sang a beautiful
song in her charming manner and
then Rev. G. W. Yarbrough gave
a capital talk aud was followed bv
Rev. R. B. Headden, who finished
the speaking before dinner in his
usual happy vein.
The dinner was served on tables
erected in the grove and was one
of the grandest spreads that ever
caught the eye of a hungry vete
ran.
The barbecue was finely prepar
ed and embraced mutton and pork,
and the meats were reinforced by
liberal supplies of the usual pic
nic edibles from baskets of careful
and thoughtful housewives.
In the afternoon speeches were
made, and interspersed with music.
Rev W. A. Dodge, chaplain of the
23d Georgia, made a ptetty and
feeling talk and Rev. C. A. Allday
also interested his hearers in ap
propriate reference to the try
ing days of sixties.
Mrs. W. H. Felton entertained
the gathering in well timed re
marks and wound up with some '
very apt allurcns to industrial
matters that met with hearty
aniens.
At the business meeting of the
23d Georgia survivors association j
Capt. J. J. Boston, of Resaca, was |
elected president, and J. C. Wal
druD, of this city, secretary fur the
next year.
Rome was chosen as the place
for the next annual reunion.
Capt. T. J. Lye 11 was master of
ceremonies and performed his du
ties in a praiseworthy manner.
FUTURE OFTEXAS OIL-
Its Use as Fuel and Its Availability
Are New Factors in Commerce,
Washington, August 12. —Dan-
iel R. Morgan, who lives in Beau
mont, Tex., the heart of the Texas
oil district, is here, and said today:
•‘The oil district of southeast
Texas is less than twenty mil.s
from deep water, and the probabili
ties are several competiting pipe
lines will be laid before the end of
the year It is not generally
knowm outside the oil region that
the Neches river has a depth of
from 25 to 50 feet from Beaumont
to its niQiitli, and may be used for
foreign shipments of oil. Within
two years ocean-going vessels will
be loading at docks within the city
limits. Ii Pennsylvania you are
possibly aware, the oil nas to be
pumped long distances. There is
only one oil field now comparable
to the Texas region. Wherever
oil is used tor fuel the ratio is
about three and one-half barrels of
oil to a ton of coal. This would,
reckoning c 11 at 50 cents a barrel,
equal pi. 75 fora ton of coal. It
costs about one dollar a ton to
transport coal. Reckoned on the
basis of its ratio to coal, Beaumont
oil can be sent to any point in the
gulf states, Cuba, Mexico an 4
South America for $2.75 a ton. In
Houston, wdiich is possibly the
greatest railroad center south of
New Orleans, coal costs between
four and five dollars a ton. This
is only one illustration of the won
derful possibilities of our oil proper
ties.”
THEIR TWO LITTLE SONS-
Death Twice Invades the Home of
Mr. and Ms Brad o JR c utly.
Sunday night the home of Mr.
and Mrs. W. A. Bradford was sad
dened the second time. Their baby
son, little Roy, who has t>een suffer
ing and lingering for near three
months, died. He departed to the
glory world to meet his little broth
er, Ernest, who passed away on
May the 30th. I have 110 doubt
the little angels have met and are
rejoicing in heaven today, while
their dear father, mother and little
brother, Willie, are left to mourn.
Little Roy was two and a half
years of age, a bright and sweet
child and was very dear to his
home, but Jesus givetli and t He
taketli away. Rev. Geo W. Yar
brough conducted the funeral ser
vice at the home, which were very
appropriate and touching. The
remains ; laid to rest in old
Oak Hill cemetery.
The family is deeply sympathized
with in their sad bereavement.
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
O’er the spoils that death has won,
We won <1 Ht 1 his solemn meeting
Calmly say thy will be done.
Though cast down we are not forsaken,
Thi ugh .HttliSted not alone,
Thou did-t give and then has taken
| Blessed 1 .ord, thy will bj done.

even to the thrust-forward neck
with perfect head, eyes and mouth.
It was found by a negro near Me

a root from a bush grown in the
shape seen, but it is said to have
been found away from any growth.
It is a sufficient curiosity for a
museum to puze.

Baseball at Dallas
One of the most interesting
games of base ball ever played in
Georgia, was played Tuesday in
Dallas, Cartersville vs Dallas,
Acworth and the umpire.
Acworth was very kind to come
over and assist the Pauldingites in
defeating Cartersville to the tune
of 1 to o and doubly Accomodating
when Acworth made the only run.
Now for the umpire, Weal! be
lieve lie is an honest, concientious
man, but the hypnotic glances of
our esteemed friends, the ball
players, in Dallas had the desired
effect.
Dallas, come over to Cartersville,
we will pay all expenses, treat you
like gentlemen, and if you make a
single kick against our umpire we
will take him out.
We will play Cartersville men
exclusively and you can get any
body south of the Mason and Dixon
line. B. B.
Boys who are Away at

for sudden attacks of cramps, diar
rhoea or dysentery, and an hour’s
delay in cases of this kind often
leads to serious results. Parents

sure. One dose rarely fails to

The Modern Horse Show.
The up to-data horse show is tho most
Intensely interesting exhibition of mod
ern times. The reasons for this are not
altogether plain, though it is evident
that the dual cnaraoter of the show is
largely responsible for its popularity.
Custom tunicas the modern horse show
quite as much a show of people as of
horsea The ball was set rolling bv the
great show whioh is held annually in
New York city. For a wees, daring
the month of November every year,
New York society holds high carnival
in Madison Square Garden on tne oc
casion of the norse show. Those who
have a professional interest in horses,
as well as the aatears, are there in
foroe, but all society, regardless of in
terest ia horses, comes to see and be
seen, and the great building is a verita
ble hive of fashion tor the fall period of
the show.
The other horse shows throughout the
country have been patterned alter the
New York show as closely as possible,
and everywhere the annual events have
proven popular beyond the greatest ex
pectations of their promoters. Atlanta
held her first horse show last fall, under
the auspices of the Fair Association. It
made a great hit with the public. There
was some doubt as to tne outcome of the
project until after the and
then it was simply a question of supply
ing enough seats, and this the manage
ment wag never able to da
Bat the great Coliseum on the Fair
mounds is being completely remodelled
for the horse show this fail, and there
will be ample seating capacity. A num
ber of boxes will be added as welt; in
deed, the interior of the building will
be arranged on modern lines in every
way, aud those who attend the Fair and
horse show this fall will wituess a
veritable transformation. The great
arena, the elaborate decorations, bril
liant lights, and more than all else, the
beautiful and richly gowned ladies
everywhere x> be seen, will make the
pioture worth going a long way to see.
