GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNS 12, 1913.
THE PEOPLE ARE HEARING
THE LORD’S GOSPEL GLADLY
Revival has Begun al St. Paul that Promises
Great Things
Rev. C. T, Ivey of Barnesville is
assisting Rev. F. D. Cantrell in a
series of revival meetings at St. Paul
Methodist church on Grove street.
'The Charlie D. Tillman hymn
books are used by the large choir
and many ol‘ the songs sung that
were personally conducted by Mr.
Tillman recently during the Bridg
ers-Tillman revival.
Last Sunday morning Mr. Ivey’s
theme was the influence of early
home training upon men and women,
and the government at large. He
traced the downfall of nations to a
weakening and crumbling of the
moral walls of a home.
He pictured vividly the resigna
tion of man to the embitterments of
this life, and his utter abandon
ment to all that is evil; how it was
possible for him, during the depths
of despair, to lose confidence in all
mankind, and have but one thread
left hanging on which to base his
hope, and that one unbroken link,
the faith in the prayers of his par
ents that during childhood were
heard sent up from the family altar.
He insisted that the Christian
home life was the test, and if pre
pared for that, that the imeecings
and demands of outward life were
as nothing.
Mr. Ivey is an excellent preacher,
and the people will be given the
benefit of his sermons twice daily—
at 10 o’clock in the mornings and 8.15
in the evenings.

One of the most atrocious crimes !
that has ever occurred with which I

any connection directly, indirectly
or torrectly, was perpetrated on the
public square of Gainesville a few
nights since, when one Howell
Smith, a member of the Gainesville

“Whereas, Brother Dago Barnes
is particeps crinais, in as much as he
cooked choice parts for- co-ps with
tin cans on their shirts;
“Therefore be it resolved that

jointly and severally to accountabil
ity for the untimely demise of our
mascot.

Here’s to the Sosation’s Mascot, J.
Bull Frog,
Who lived in a city, who croaked on
a log,
On the Main thoroughfare he had sat
in the town,
Until his back had turned green, and I
and his stomach brown;
That was J. Bull Frog of Main I
street renown. 1
One day when he chanced to change I
his position,
He met a police with a’most fearful I
disposition
Towards J. Bull Frog, who lived in
a town,
Until his back had turned green j
and his stomach brown.
That is—J. Bull Frog of Main street 1
renown.

After its first fit it was shot and its
