BENEJTH THEIR OIGNIFY First Baptist Deacons Take no Notice of‘‘Love Feast.” DR, WHITE WILL NOT TALK Mr. Chapman Thinks He Has Been Badly Treated—A Curious Situation. Mr. W. B. Chapman was summoned up * before the board of deacon» at the First Baptist church yesterday morning but nothing has been given out to the public that will throw any light on the matter and it yet remains to be known what was done with him. It was stated in The News of Saturday that Mr. Chapman was summoned up on The charge of approving of the words used by Mayor Price in regard to Dr. White, pastor of the First Baptist church. Mr. t'hapman says that he does agree with Mayor Price and that he told Dr. White so. He says that the deacons of the church held two secret sessions yesterday in regard to the matter But that all he knows of what wats done was a copy of resolutions that were furnished him. Fol lowing are the resolutions: Resolved, That we, the deacons of the First 'Baptist church, after mature deliber ation, consider it beneath our dignity to take notice of the so-called "Love Feast - ” which took place in the council chamber Inst Wednesday night. Our aim is the ad vancement of Christ’s cause and the pro tection of our homes and from this we will not be deviated. “Decennber 18, 1898, Macon, Ga. Dr. White refuses to discuss the matter and none of the board of dea-ons will talk •saying that they have agreed to keep the matter a secret and it is not known what action was taken in regard to Mr. Chap man. Mr. Chapman says that he is at Jose to know what was done with him and that he would like very much to find out. In speaking of the matter he said that he had done nothing wrong and that he had a right to think as he pleased. He said that what he wanted was more reli gion ami less politics in the church. He said some warm things in regard to cer tain people and seemed not to like the manner in which he was treated.

One of the principal events of the season w ill bet he engagement of the Liliputians it the Academy of Music where they will present their latest and greatest hit, the grand spectacuaor play ’’The Golden Horseshoe” next Monday night. The com ipany is this year composed of nearly one hundred people, headed, as Usual, by the < lever midget actors, among them Franz Ebert, Adolph Zink, Selma Goerner, Ber tha Jaeger, Hermann Ring. .Max Walter, Toni 'Meister, Elise Lau-Ebert and Helene Linder. It is doubtless the largest travel ing organization and the new prodmefion surpasses in elaborateness, sumptuousness, brilliancy and tastefulness all their previ ous -effrots. Never before have the Uli putians scored such a hit and unqualified success as during their long run in New York. Nightly the theatre was crowded to its utmost capacity and it was the same wherever they have appeared. The little artists are tody more popular than ever and have added thousands of new admir ers to the legion of old friends. “The Golden Horseshoe” has an interesting and coherent plot. It deals with an immense legacy which has been left by a woman in a Western town to midgets less than three feet high. The woman's brother, tbe sheriff of the place, a midget himself, is convinced that up to the date named in the will no other people will turn up and is very disagreeably surprised when all of a sudden quite an aggregation of small folks appear and claim their share in the inheritance. The key to. the treasure has been buried by the eccentric testator at the 'bottom of the sea where it is discovered by the smallest of the midgets. The play gives a better opportunity than ever before to all the little people to display their versatile •talents and to keep their audiences in constant merriment. Ebert's and Zink's disguises are as numerous as they are charming. From a natty sailor and volun teer soldier they change to transatlantic tourists, croaking frogs, famous composers, valiant war heroes and a dozen characters, always gaining applause and admiration by their cuteness nd finished acting.

HOLIDAYS ora President's Visit Gives Busi ness a Lively Boom. STORES FULL Os CHRISTMAS The Best Time of The Year For Merchants to Advertise Their Bargains. Holiday week hae. commenced in Macon this year .under unusual auspices. The coming of the president has given business 2- boom and the rush of visitors ro the city this morning augured well for the rest of the week’s trade. Probably never before in the history of the city has there been so splendid a display of •Christmas good** in all the stores and never before has there been so much money in circu lation generally in the city as at this time. The merchants of the city have done themselves credit in the displays and in their purchase of Christmas novelties for Christmas presents. The people of the city feel that they are better able to buy liberally this year than has been the case for the past ten years in the city. The pay rolls of the different regiment® now stationed around the city have aggregated something like a quarter of a million of money and this amount is evenly distrib uted tnrougnout tbe business houses and will coniine to circulate for some time to corne before it finds its way back into the banks. And there is a prospect that these good conditions will continue. The sol diers are already looking forward to to another pay day and the turning loose of another quarter of a million of money means much to-the business men. t Ihe streets were thronged with people .tom 0,11 early hour this morning, present ing a very lively appearance. Notwithstanding the counter attraction the merchants were kept busy, an indica tion that with nothing else to draw away their attention the buyers will continue to make things lively for the rest of the week. The wide-awake merchant at a time like this, when the newspapers are read by the peoj le of a city, seek the b?st method of gaining publicity for their offerings and J.'* News unhesitatingly siys that ;t is acie to furnisn to the mer. n i tts of M;coi. th«> F.e.t and the most thu-.>ii.’a cir.u la:ivn among all ciasses in the city. The circulation of the News in the camps of the soldiers is more than double that of all the newspapers put togethe” that go into the camps. The soldiers look eagerly for the News and read it. Then again the paper gets into the homes of the city. It is read through by the rich and poor and a glance he the columns of the News will satisfy 'any merchant that the paper is patronized as an advertising medium by the best business men and houses. In the columns of the News will be found suggestions for the buvers of Christmas goods and it is safe to 'say that just at this time advertisements are more carefully read than at any other time in the year. The purchase of Christmas presents is a custom and a necessity, and how to se lect a suitable gift is what is nuzzling every man. woman and child in the city today. For this reason the suggestions offered by the merchants are looked for and are followed. The most careful ad vertisers have made a test of this and are satisfied that it is so. The merchant who has Christmas pres ents for sale as well as staple goo Is w ill find rhe advertisements in the News are read and he cannot but get good results. The buyer for this wwek Will waste no time in “shopping,” but will,as a rule, make up their minds what they want be fore they start out on their expeditions. They do this as a result of reading the advertising colums of the News carefully, and it will be found to be a fact that more than half of the people who are buying in the city tor the rest of this week will come in town with lists made out from the advertising columns of the News. Everyone is in good spirits. Everyone feels that his is indeed to be a merry Christmas, and the spirit of good will is abroad in the city. But the wise merchant will advertise his goods every day throughout this week. He can lotafford to miss the opoimni y and he cannot afford to say that people will buy anywhere they please without regard to advertising. At the end of-the week it will be found that the merchant who has done the best advertising and has selected that medium which reaches the largest number of people in the camps and in the homes of Macon has reaped the richest harvest during the week. An immense turn of money will change hands several times over in the city this week. The individual will spend money with the merchant and the merchant will In his turn spend it with another mer chant and so it will go on. Everyone will do a share of the buying and as everyone reads the News over every day it follows that the advertisers of the News will get the biggest share of the business. After all advertising is only an invest ment of a. very small per cent of the amount that comes in as a result. News paper advertising judiciously done Is the best medium that reaches the buyers and the offers more opportunities and better opportunities 'to talk to the people of the city and in the city than any other medium.
