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. ONE VAGRANT Was Al! that the Police Caught in Their Net.

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.

Miss Amelia Keith, Mrs. George Kei'tb. Mr. Ambrose Crutchfield. Mr. J. F. Crutchfield, -Mr. Henry North and Mr. Edwin Sussdorf.

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.

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 here. 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. Notes Taken On the Run. The great minstrel organization of Prim rose & West, with the Macon favorite, Geo. Wilson, will be the attraction at the Acad emy next Thursday night. The coming of Madam Mojeska on the 28th is awaited with great Interest and the distinguished actress is sure to meet with a most cordial reception. Dr. W. R.

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 waters. The Pomeroy river is reported station ary at 28 feet this morning with hard rains all night the weather being like April. Much damage has been done along the little Miami river. A bridge on the Pennsylvania road at Morrow has gone ... ~ Disease is like * quick- sand; you sink into it a little at a time. It seems a small matter at first; k— you don't think there is anything serious / /Tv al)out until it x-N “ (v % Tg has you hard and fast. At the beginning f? Jj it is only a little r -y weakness and weariness, oc casional head aches or backaches, you don’t feel quite up to the mark. Pretty soon you begin to lose flesh, your appetite gives out. Then before you know it, your lungs are affected. Don’t wait for that. As soon as you feel that you are not quite up to the “correct pitch” put yourself into con dition again with Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. There is nothing like it up the constitution and quickly restore energy and good, hard, healthy flesh. It makes new blood rapidly. It clears the unhealthy blood put of the circulation. It makes fresh tissue. There’s no blood disease it won't help. Taken in time it even cures con sumption. J. W. Jordan, Esq., of Corbin. Whitley Co., Ky., writes: “About two and a half years ago when I was at Flat Lick, Ky., I was taken with severe pains in chest, after which I began to spit up blood and was also troubled with night-sweats I was so short winded that I could hardly walk half a mile at once, and if I got the least bit wearied I would have an attack of phthisic (as thma) and almost die. I concluded to try Dr. R. V. Pierce, and I related my case to him. He wrote me that I should take his • Golden Medical Discovery.’ I did so and I have improved both in strength and in weight. I have not had the phthisic, nor spit any blood since last spring.” no remedy in the world is equal to Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, which act nat urally and mildly, but never fail to effect a complete and permanent cure. There is no substitute for these “Pellets,” no matter what any druggist may say. They regulate and invigorate the Stomach, Liver and Rowels. 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.
