6 SPLEKDED W Georgia Industrial Home to be Founded bv Rev. Munford work of « rar aft Subscriptions will Grow Into Thous ands—All Macon People Should Feel a Deep Interest. Surely Rev. W. E. Mumford should fee! encourage! by the i*tart made the past few dayw in the taking of su baser! pt ion« for the G»orgh.l 'lndustrial Home for the outcast children of the state. Conference adjburn ed in Hawkinsville on the 13th of Decem ber. He retired from the conference to devote his life to Che work of founding an Inrustrial Home School and farm for the maintenance, education and care of those outcast children who are now unprovided for by any charitable institution. His movement at the start was handicapped by the cry of hard times, as well as other 'pe culiar circumstances ty'hich were 'thought Io enpteially bo in his way. He was laughed at and mocked by the .skepti cal sod many were the predictions of fail ure. it took a brave heart to face what this man has had to face and nothing but the supremest type of faith could lead him to whore he was willing to give up posi tion and salary to undertake what a major ity of< hie brethren in the ministry thought to b< ‘visionary. Os course, it would have been Much easier for the man io work as a Methodist preacher He could have had a good salary and a comparatively • asy time, bu't his heart was touched an 1 his feelings 'have been deeply stirred for the downmost child. He has gone in to help a class of children for whom there is abso lutely ’no hope unless his movement or eomething similar succeeds. Mr. Mumford did not begin the work of taking subscriptions until last Friday. He has all along wanted the home located at Macon. He feels very kindly toward the ■people of this city and he feels that this home cannot 'be 'better located than near here. So he has gone to work to try to nalFe the money here to start the-the great undertaking. He says: If I can work on in Macon until enough !<s raised to buy the land and build the | initial house, which will accommodate | fifty children, 1 will try and do 'this before I going outside to the state. I would be glad to have everything arranged to that the doors of 'the home could be opened by the first of IMarch. From what 1 know of the need for this work. I am sure that j should I publish tomorrow to the state that the home was ready to admit chil- ' dren, that 'I could have fifty inmates inside of thirty days.” On Friday morning last the subscription list started 'with a .$lO contribution from i Professor 'Moseley of Mercer University, I and Dr. Pollock immediately added a s.‘>o i contribution. The scene was a tender one. ! The one who bad been praying and mov- j in to a start was filled with deep) and ten- ; der emotions when these two original am] ' entirely voluntary subscriptions came, and ' so came many of the amounts that follow. ? Indeed nearly all have come spontaneous ly and >Mr. Mumford tells us that he has touched only a few peole in the few days j he has been at work. The weather has been Rf’.. the I resident and the parade came In 1 one day P nd t’KU he has? mixed up this ‘ with sending numerous circulars , and the spending of much time looking OUJ . a prospective site for tile TstiUtion aml ' ■fliPXtJ.hyj these subscriptions were se ' ’H’Ctl a hours’ canvass and 'here i are the amounts so far obtained toward ! the founding of the greatest charity un- ; dertaken in this state in twenty-five years.

He has had no canvassing com j mittees out, but ihe«?e subscriptJons have come in she main from th° preserCation n.ade of the cause in the pape-s and t’trough hie personal canvass. Numbers of t eople have volunteered the Information that they expected to help in cash and ( sul scriptions aftei new year. It k high » ly desired to ratee a: least >2.500 by Janua | i ry Jo«h, so th.it the land may he pur hai jel a,)i the v.oik begun. A bank ic.-ount haireily started and it is doubly grat ifying to Mr. Mumford that over ?S5 in ; his i»e< ? t ntributtd w ; ’ icit the asking, showing that some at least have vonfi l.'iice c;r< rgl> to put down n> r v at once on the movement. 'Mr. T. Skelton Jones contributed the first dollar in cash and then that golden hearted gentleman who is always in everything good that is going on around him, Mr. Calder B. Wil lingham. wrote his check for >SO. 'Mr. E. ■ J. Wilfngham i« deeply interested in the work as one of the incorporators, and his whole 450ul will be given to the founder in sympathy, advice and material aid. Over S2OO have been subscribed by the housebolu of this good man. Colonel C. iM. Wiley ie > also much enthused with the great work, and told Mr. Mumford that his first sub scription was a starter. He has a heart to . feel for the poor and forsaken and sees the great need of nhe work in hand. Surely you cannot do a nobler deed dur . ing these glad day 6 of Christmas than to send Mr Mumford a handsome subscription' to thia great cause. You can pay by the first of February or in installments, and j we only hope that the nex; list published i will b e greater than the first. MOZLEY’S LEMON ELIXIR. A PLEASANT LEMON DRINK.
