REV. J. B. DERRICK
BACK INTHECITY
Has Been Away for About
Four Weeks.
Rev. J. B. Derrick, pastor of the
Holy Trinity church, returned to the
; ' Ity last week. Mr. Derrick has been
| mi Ills vacation, and was away about
j four wepks. He went to hlg home
!ut Goodlan. Miss., and attended a
! family reunion. Mr Derrick has six
; brothers and three sisters, ail of
| whom were present at the reunion.
They came from all parts of the Unit
ed States, and It is the first time that
some of them had seen one another
in several years.
Mr. Derrick preached at the morn
ing service Sunday, llis subject was.
"Repentance." The text was taken
from Matt., 4:17.
Mr. Derrick said: "It is the most
glorious act of man to repent his
sins. While he must repent of the
sins that we commit, the sins that
wo commit by failing to do our duty
are the one* for which w P must re
| pent. The uncommitted sins are the
; greatest that a tnan has to atone for."
Mr. Derrick also said: "I do not
think that any body of men have the
power to say what kind of a Christian
life we should lead. I think that the
Holy Vers,, tells us the life that wo
should do, as well as the Holy Book."
There was no evening service.
On the way hack to Augusta Mr.
- Derrick stopped at Nashville. Mem

CEOHGIIJ FLORIDA
RAILROAD IS NOW
PROGRESSING
Progress along the line of the Geor
gia and Florida railway seems to be
very satisfactory, according to reports
being received in the city and the
Daily Bulletin of the Manufacturers
Record has the following to say con
corning the road:
"The Georgia & Florida railway,
which is being built by John Swel
tnn Williams of Richmond, J. H.
Mlddendorf of Baltimore and others,
has completed the first link of its
new construction between Valdosta,
Ga., and Nashville, Ga.. about 30
miles, and it is expected that it will
be ready for operating by September
10.
The Georgia & Florida Railway
when completed will, as heretofore
reported, be a through trunk line
from Augusta, Ga., to Madison, Fla.,
composed of several existing railroads
which are being connected by the con
struction of comparatively short links,
and which altogether will amount to
about 90 or 100 miles of actual new
track. But the Valdosta Southern
Railroad, one of the absorbed lines,
running from Valdosta, Ga., to Mad
ison, Fla, 29 miles, has been im
proved by the reduction of grades and
the filling in of trestles. A connec
tion will be made between the latter
road and the Seaboard Air Line at
Madison. Between Nashville and
Douglas, Ga., about 38 miles, several
cut-offs have been made, and between
Douglas and Hazlehurst, Ga., grading
has been finished on a cut-off 91a
miles long, which will save about nine
miles of distance. From the end of
this cut-off to Hazlehurst, Ga., 2u
tnlies, the new grade is nearly Cbii
pleie, and it is expected that before
January all the line from Hazlehurst j
to Madison will be linked us? ami laid
with new track and heavy rail. This
section will include 120 miles of main I
line and between 20 and 25 miies oi :
branches.
North of Hazlehurst construction I
has also been started, and a 900-foot
bridge over the Altamaha river will j
be built, beyond which the road will
run to Vidalia. Upon the completion j
of this latter improvement the com-
Jany will bo able toi operate trains
from Keysville, Ga., 20 miles from At:
g’ista, through to' Madison, Fla. The
trunk line will be finally completed
by building from Keysville to Au
gusta.
