Returns Do Not Show Up the
Expected Increase in
Number of Children.
IN THE VINEViLLE DISTRICT
There is a Falling Off as’Compared
With Returns From Last Cen
sus—Not (bmplete Yet.
The census enumeration is not turning
out as the Board of Education thought it
■would, and so far the gain in the number
of elligible school children has been very
small indeed, and in the Vineville district
the number of children has fallen oft’ six
from the last census taken five years ago.
Three of the enumerators have made
their returns, and so far the expected gain
of 20 per cent in number of children who
are of school ages has been sadly lacking,
and the board is doubtful if they can show
a gain of 5 per cent.
©numerator Davis, of the Vineville dis
trict, made his returns this morning,
•which showed that there were 1,861 elli
gible children in that district. The last
school census showed that there were
1,867 elligible school children in the Vine
vrlle district.
This falling off is explained by Super
intendent Abbott by the fact that many of
the colored people have moved to the
•ountry, or cut of the district.
Captain Parrott, of the Second ward,
made his returns this morning, )which
«howed that there were 1,108 elligible
children in that ward, and as the last
census was not taken Ijy wards it is not
known yet whether this was an increase
or decrease.
If the census does not turn out a good
gain the board will be very much disap
pointed, as they had hoped t« have the
appropriation this year considerably larger
than it has ever been before, and to make
the many additions and improvements that
are needed in the buikdingi of the system.
It is said that the census in Warrior
district is turning out a big gain, and that
there will be at least 500 more children
on the rolls than there were the last time
the census was taken.
Adi of the reports will come in next
•week, and when they are consolidated
there will be some interesting figures.

feature. The association is quite a large

and held reunions of its own, but it is in
tended this year to have the largest and
most interesting reunion the association
has yet held. .The official call is as fol

of the country.
“Our brethren of the medical associa
tion and surgeons and assistant surgeons
are urged to take that interest and action
which will insure the largest attendance.
“We are authorized to say the railroads

“The press of the country who honor
the glorious memories which clusters
around the lost cause will kindly publish
this call. Respectfully and fraternally,
“J. McF. GASTON, M. D.,

When the Harris Nickle Plate Shows
left Macon they had seme trouble in get
ting into the towns where they were billed
because there were reports of small
pox here. Mayor Price wrote a letter to
the manager of the show certifying that
none of the men had been exposed to the
disease, and that most of them had only
been in Macon a few hours before they
left here.
Charlie McCarthy, a negro boy, shot
himself this morning at his home at Fort

Will be Preached to Men by Rev. R. R.
White Tomorrow.
Rev. Robert R. White, pastor of the
Firse Presbyterian church, will preach a
sermon specially to men at the 11 o’clock
service tomorrow morning.
Dr. Bachman, the Tennessee evangelist,
has just concluded a two week’s series of
services at Mr. White's church, and it is
quite appropriate that following on the
heel of these services, the pastor of the
church should address the men of his con
gregation. It is to be hoped that a large
number of our men will attend this ser
vice, that they may profit by the message
of this earnest and eloquent preacher.
While the service is specially for men,
it is not exclusively so, and the ladies of
the congregation and community are in
vited to attend.

TO AWARD PRIZES.
Post “D’’ es the Traveller’s Protective As
sociation Meet.
Post D of the Travelers’ Protective As
sociation will meet next Saturday, which
is the regular mee?ing day, far the purpose
of awarding the prizes to those who have
secured the largest number of new mem
bers since Christmas.
No meeting of the post was held today,
but the Savannah trip is being discussed
on every side by the drummers who are
in the city. They are enthusiastic, and
President L. A. Wood said this morning |
that Macon would send out the largest I
delegation of traveling men to Savannah I
that has ever represented the city on any
occasion.
The Macon post is growing every day, ’
and is now the third largest in the state,
with a very narrow margin between it and
the two that are in the lead. The order
is not for ornament, but it is a useful and
a beneficial organization and the travel
ling men all over the country fully real
ize that fact.
The best time to advertise is all the j
