OUTLOOK FOR
SUMMER SPORT.
What the Prospect is for In
teresting Amusements
in Macon.
THAT BICYCLE TRACK
Will Be Built and it Now Looks as
Bicyc'ing Would Be the Main
Attraction This Year.
The mention in yesterday’s News that
there would be no baseball In Macon this
summer has set some of the lovers of out
of door sports to thinking.
The present indications are that not
even any of the teams from the big league
will come here for practice. Baltimore has
already made arrangements to go to
Thomasville, and the fact that they have
given Macon up as a practice ground
haves a slight prejudice in the minds of
the othe r teams against coming here.
The only sport that the Macpn people
will be able to see this summer will be the
bicycle races that will be held at Crump’s
park under the auspices of the Macon
Bicycle Club. These races will be held
on <he new track which will be construct
ed there In a few weeks. The track will
be made of dirt for the present and if it
is seen that it pays it will be reconstruct
ed and a plunk track laid with a covered
enclosure, so that night races can be
held.
The club is already making preparations
for some big meets to be held here early
in the spring. The first meet will be held
in April. It is not probable that there will
be any of the big circuit riders here until
later in the season as most of their time
will be taken up until about July.
Interest In Macon, however, now centers
in local riders, and it is a question as to
who is the speediest. The races that have
been held at the Central City park have
been considered tests of the speed of the
men. Some times one has won then an
other. The matches have been so few and
far between that It Is almost impossible
to tell who is the best man.
It is the purpose of the club now to have
races at the park at least n week
through the summer, and once a month
to have a big meet with visiting wheel
men from all over the state, and some of
the ibig circuit riders, if they can be se
cured.
Though Macon will be denied the pleas
ure of seeing profession - ball, there will
be many interesting games of amatuer
ball, besides the college games which will
be played here. Some of the members of
the Volunteers are preparing to organize
a team in the company. The t»un that
■the Volunteers had two years ago was one
of the best in the state, and there is some
splendid material in the company now for
a team.
AT GRACE CHURCH.
Rev. Morrell Still Continues to Make War
Against Satan.
No-.v/itbstanding the ra i last
there was a gcod congregi i n at Grace
church to hear Rev. J. 1,. Morrell preach
. nor- c of his strong sermons from
Isaiah, “Cease to do evil, learn to do
well. Come now let us reason together,
sal th the Lord, t hough your sins be as
scarlet, I will make them as white as
snow; thoug’h they be like crimson, they
shall be as wool.”
“■Sinners, ‘the first thing for you then
is to cease to do evil. Stop drinking, stop
cursing, stop gambling, stop dancing, stop
going to teaters, .and stop everything that
you know to be wrong.
“Whenever there is a question in your
mind,” said the preacher, “as to the good
ness of anything, don’t take any stock in
it. You have got to use your will power.
God settled his part of the business two
thousand years ago, when 'he gave bis son
to die for you, and you have got to settle
your part of it now. God wants you to be
saved, but he will not force you to be
saved. God has done everything he can
to save you—given you everything that is
necessary. Quit all of your meanness
right square off. Don’t tell me you can’t
quit. You can quit anything. They have
got a woman in jail now and they are
keeping her there because she won't testi
fy, she won’t talk; and you know if a wo
man can quit talking you can quit doing
anything.
You know what is right and what is
wrong. You just live up to what you
think church members ought to be, and
you will be all right. Learn to do well.
You have quit eairsing. now go to praying,
You have quit drinking liquor, now go to
drinking the living water. You have quit
going with a bad crowd that was leading
you to hell, now come in with God’s peo
ple and go to heaven. You have quit .play
ing cards, now go to praying. Yes, pray
in public. You won't pray because you
are afraid you will make a failure.
In whose sight will you make a failure?
You pray to God and in the sight of God,
and he will always hear and understand
your prayers. Don’t you fail to pray be
cause you feel that you cannot make an
eloqeut prayer. If you have a child that
is not plain of speech, you would listen
just that much more atentively to catch
what the child says. Pray without ceas
ing. I don't mean to stay on your knees
all the time because God does not want
you to do that, h? has other work for
you to do. I will illustrate what I mean
with an old Waterbury watch that I used
to have when I was converted. It took a
long time to wind it up, and I thought I
would never get through with it every
night. Finally I hit on a plan of giving
my watch a turn every time I took it out
of my pocket, and when I went to bed I
didn’t have much to do to wind it up
t ; ght. The first thing I did the next morn
ing was to take my old Waterbury out of
my vest pocket and begin winding again,
and so by giving it a turn frequently, I
always kept it wound up. I applied this
experience with my own watch ;o my re
ligion. and all during the day I would take
a turn of praying, and at night I would
get down my Bible end take a long turn
at praying, and wind up my religion so
tight that it would stay wound up tight all
night. Let us reason together, says the
God. The great God of the universe con
descends to come down to our plane, and
reason with us, that our sins may be blot
ted out. I will prove it to you. says God.
By giving my son to die for you, by giving
you the Holy Spirit, by giving you the
Bible, by giving you your Christian friends
to pray for you and to help you turn to me.
Though your sins be as scarlet, I will
make them white as snow, though they be
like crimson, they shall be as wool. Cease
to do evil. Learn to do well. Do every
thing that you think a Christian ought to
do. and God wMI save you.”
Services every, morning at 9:30 and at
night at 7:30.

What is Going
On in Society.
The reception given yesterday afternoon
\ by Mrs. Sussdorf to introduce into society
her grand-daughter. Miss Annie North
1 Crutchfield, was a charming affair, and
notwithstanding the inclement weather,
was attended by a great number of socie
ty people. The gen-tlemen as well as the
ladies were invited in the afternoon and
i the entertainment was the occasion of the
pleasantest mingling of the married and
unmarried people of Macon. Mrs. Suss
dorf, a handsome woman, in spite of the
fact that it was her grand-daughter who
was making her debut, wore an elegant
reception toilet of black satin and duch
esse lace, and Miss Cruthchfield is a de
j butante who is gladly welcomed into so
■ ciety. She was greatly admired yesterday
1 afternoon, and was very lovely in an ex-
I quisite gown of white chiffon over white
I satin: this was made in a charmingly
; girlish fashion with high neck and long
sleeves, the waist a dainty, fluffy mass of
shirring and of ruffles, and the skirt ruf
fled ;o the knees; the all white effect was
peculiarly becoming to Miss Crutchfield,
who is a blonde, with the rarest and fair
fest of complexion, reddish gold hair and
dark eyes; she had a number of bouquets
of roses sent by those friends who wished
to give tangible evidence of their pleasure
in welcoming her into the realm of young

Kei'tb. Mr. Ambrose Crutchfield. Mr. J. F.
Crutchfield, -Mr. Henry North and Mr.
Edwin Sussdorf. The drawing rooms and
halls were decorated with magnificent
palms, and in the dining room the long
table was a thing of beauty, with its cen
terpiece of carnations and delicate ferns,
surrounded by cakes of all kinds and cut
glass dishes filled with crystallized fruits.
Tn 'this room the guests were received by
Mrs. Iverson Harris, Mrs. John Boifeuil
let, Mrs. Hicks and Miss Nutting, who
were assisted in dispensing refreshments
by Miss Rose Crutchfield and Miss Leila
Plant, and Mr. North Winship. Punch
and other wines were served in the daint
iest of Bohemian glass and the entire af
fair was one of pleasure to those who at
tended.
This evening at the residence of the
bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Ross,
Miss Helen Ross will be married to Mr.
Star Rogers. Miss Eugenia Small will be
bridesmaid, and Mr. Joseph Clisby will be

Ross and Mr. Rogers will be present at
the wedding.

Kennedy, of Knoxville, Miss Wheatley, »f
Americus, Miss Kenan, of Wilmington, N.
C., Miss Green, of 'Washington, and Miss
Todd, of Atlanta.
Miss Frankie Reid, of Eatonton, has re

woman, she received many flattering so
cial attentions.

to a reception to be given next Tuesday
afternoon from 4 to 5 o’clock.

BOSTONIANS.
The Great Musical Event of
the Season at the Acad
emy Tonight.
Victor Herbert and Harry B. Smith’s
sparkling comic opera, “The Serenade,”
will be sung here for the first time ‘tonight
at the Academy. No opera produced in re
cent years has created such a sensation
and aroused such universal encomiums as
this last above named opera. Music lovers
generally will remember that it was pro
duced at the Knickerbocker theatre, Naw
York, last April and enjoyed a remarkable
run of three months to crowded houses.
It was in “The Serenade” that Mr. Bar
nabee, Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Cowles and
Jessie Bartlett Davis added new laurels
to their many triumphs, and Alice Niel
sen, the new soprano, scored so prettily
with audiences and critics. In the produc
tion here rhe same cast is announced and
the production will be brought intact with
all the beautiful scenic accessories that
marked the New York production.
“The Serenade” is embellished with
three beautiful scenes, the first and third
representing views of a mountain scene
in Spain with the haunted castle in the
foreground. A t second is a beautiful bit
es painting by Burridge and Albert, rep
resenting the garden of the monastery of
St. Benedict adjoining the convent school
of St. Ursula. Mention has already been
made of the tuneful qualities of Mr. Her
bert's music and of the many pleasantries
and witticisms of Mr. Smith’s book.
More than fifteen numbers are distrib
uted to the principal artists of this com
pany, and “The Angelus” as rendered by
Mr. Davis. “Woman, Lovely Woman,”
sung by Mr. Barnabee; the sparkling pos
tilion song by Mr. MacDonald, and the
spirited number, “The Song of the Car
bine,” by Mr. Cowles, are prominent fea
tures.
The Popular Stars.
The Manola-Mason Company in “Friend
Fritz,” are announced as the attraction at
-the Academy of Music next Tuesday night,
news which will be received with pleasure
by the legions of admirers of this talented
organization in this city, where they have
always been accorded such hearty wel
come on the oceasian of ther Corner visits

OLD VETERANS
Made Happy by the Action of
the State Department in
Restoring Them.
DEPITE THE GRANO JURY.
The Names of Those Who Were Re
stored Others Will Quielly Fol
iowand Get Their Pensions.
At the last session of the grand jury of
Bibb county a very considerable amount of
antagonism was aroused to the action
which deprived a number of the indigent
soldiers of the county of 'their pensions.
A number of names were cut from the
list, and it was demonstrated that in a
number of cases the grand jury has been
entirely too hasty.
Aditional proof was called for by the
state department from all those who had
been marked and already a number have
been put back again. The names of those
who have been cut off and again restored,
and who were paid yesterday and today
by Ordinary Wiley, are W. H. Teel, J. A.
Langston, J. W. Burge, W. B. Bullock,
Dan Aides, J. S. Avant and J. Whittle.
These names will be reinforced by oth
ers from time to time, as the department
is investigating and a number of worthy
old soldiers who fought for the Confeder
ate cause will probably receive their pen
sions notwithstanding the action of the
grand jury.

Os Floods a S a Result of the Rist of the
Rivers.
Cincinnati, O„ Jan. 20 —After a sudden
rise last night at the rate of five feet an
hour, caused by the flow in the little
Miami and Licking rivers, settled down
■to a rate of three inches an hour, with the
exception that between 6 and 7 o’clock
this morning there was a rise of six
inches.
High winds prevailed throughout the
night and today and the temperature is
falling both of which conditions operate
to lessen the danger of a flood.
According to present advices there has
not been a general heavy rain in West
Virginia nor elsewhere about the head

The Pomeroy river is reported station

RICH STRIKE.
Oil Spouts in West Virginia—looo Barrels
Per Day-
Mogantown, W. Va., Jan. 20 —Oil oper
ators are excited over a rich strike made
a mile and a half from Mannington, in the
old Hafer pool. The Hartman Oil Com
pany has been experimenting in that sec
tion. When the drill touched sand oil
spurted out at the rate of 1,000 barrels a
day.
The gusher is located in advance of the
old development, and probably opens up a
rich lead from the old work. The Hart
man Oil Company owns nearly all the
leases in the vicinity.
