WORK PROGRESSING ON THE
GAINESVILLE MIDLAND DEPOT
Will Be Ready for Occupancy by September
15th, Says the Contractor, Mr.
Levi Prater.
The work of construction of the
new depot for the Gainesville Mid
land Railway is progressing nicely,
and the main office rooms and wait
ing rooms of this magnificent struc
ture will be ready for occupancy by
the 15th of Sebtember, according to
Levi Prater. the contractor in
charge of the work.
The upper story of the building
will be used for the main offices and
the office of the General manager
and the superintendents, while the
lower story will be used for the
white and colored waiting rooms and
the ticket offices and operators’
offices.
It is now thought that perhaps
there will be a shed of 200 feet length
built over the tracks, but whether
this will be done right now is not
known, but if not at present it will
be done later.
The freight rooms of the new depot
will extend down the tracks toward
Broad street from the main build
ing, which faces on Spring street,
and will be a very pretty Structure.
Re-pressed brick are being used,
and look very much like those that
were used in building the First
Methodist church, while black mor
tar is being used between the layers,
which makes an attractive front.
The Gainesville Northwestern
will use the station with the Mid
land a- heretofore.
With the completion of the Mid
land depot, the city will have two
railway stations that she or any
other city that ranks above her
in population might well feel proud
of.
We doff our hats to the Midland
and Southern authorities.

The Great Canal Open.
Panama, August 15.—The Panama
Canal is open to the commerce of
the world. Henceforth ships may
pass to and fro through the great
waterway which establishes a new
ocean highway for trade.
The steamship Ancon, owned by
i the United States war department,
i with many notable people on board,
today made the official passage
i which signalized the canal’s opening.
' She left Cristobal at 7 o’clock this
i morning and reached Balboa on the i
' ' Pacific end at 4 o'clock this after
noon.
The Ancon will remain at the Bal
boa docks for some time, discharg- I
ing her cargo, this being the first I
] Commercial voyage made through i
the canal.
The canal will be used tomorrow
, for the transfer of four cargo ships.
, , Tiie Ancon's trip was the fastest
I yet made by a large ocean steamer.
, | The steamer went through the Gatun
I locks in seventy minutes, a speed
, I never before equaled. The other
, ' lockages were equally rapid.

Miss Powell To Lecture.
The people of our city have a rare
opportunity and intellectual treat
in store for them in the series of
lectures by Miss Powell on Paychol
ogy of Music and how to sing.
The first lecture will be given Fri
day evening at 8.30 o’clock in Ora
tory Hall, Brenau College; the suc
ceeding lectures will be given on
Tuesday and F riday evenings of the
two following weeks.
The proceeds of these lecture will
be given entirely to charitable work
—one-half will be given to the Lo
gan E. Bleckley Memorial School
lor mountain boys and girls, at
Clayton Ga., and half to the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy who are
sending two worthy daughters of a
Confederate Veteran, to the Normal
School at Milledgeville. Only under
these conditions could Miss Powell
be induced to give this series of
splendid lectures at this time.
All of the music lovers of which
our city boasts and is justly proud
are appreciating and taking ad
vantage of this opportunity which
will not be ours again. Those who
have heard Miss Powell on other
occasions know something of her
personal magnetism and strength of
the truths she portrays.
The people of crowded cities as
well as of the small towns in the
north, gladly hear these lectures at
Ten Dollars for the course, but at
home—down South—and for the
-ake of these worthy interests, we
can hear the course of five lectures
for Three Dollars.
Non-negotiable.

Regular Services at Presbyterian.
Our pastor having returned from
his vacation regular services will be
held in this church every Sunday
at lU3O a. m., and 8.30 p. m.; Sunday
School at 10 a. m. Visitors always
welcome. If your pastor is away on
his vacation, or if you are here for
the summer, come and worship with
us. Why not make every Sunday
a “Go-to-Church Sunday?'’ Many
people seem to think that religion is
only fit to die with. The fact is that
unless we live it every day we will
not have enough to die on. In the
“good old days” folks went to
church and stayed all day. but now
we cannot stay for an hour in a com
fortable church. “What, could ye
not watch with me one hour.” —

NUMBER 34
GREAT SUNDAY SCHOOL
MEETING AT CLERMONT.
Hall County S. S. Association will Hold Ser
vices Next Tuesday and Wednesday.
Three delegates are invited to be
present from .every white Sunday
School in the county. The delegates,
superintendents, and pastors will all
be cared for by the people of Trinity
and Concord churches at Clermont.
Ga.
The first train leaves Tuesday
morning at 9.45. and last train
Wednesday afternoon leaves Cler
mont at 3.26. and the round trip
fare will be sixty four cents, good
for the two days. This convention
of Hall County Sunday Schools is
open to all Sunday School workers.
It will be seen that the schedules
are convenient for those who will be
able to spend only a day.
Mr. D. W. Sims, known all over
the South, as one of the best authori
ties on Sunday School work and
methods, is on the program for both
days. One certainly gains lots of
inspiration from hearing so well
posted a man as he. Miss Daisy
Magee, whose work extends all over
the state, is an expert on Elementary
instruction, ami will conduct a
model class and illustrate the best
methods in teaching the lesson, be
fore the convention.
A number of the local and county
talent will be scheduled for addresses
on that branch of Sunday School
work in which they are particularly
interested, as also will be many of
the Division Presidents. Open dis
cussions will be held, which always
brings out an exchange of experi
ences that are immensely helpful.
This meeting is a branch of the
State Association, which is non-de
nominational. and is a co-operative
effort of all denominations to im
prove and extend Sunday School
work in Georgia.*
All delegates, superintendents,
• and pastors are requested to notify
Henry H. Estes, Secretay, of their
going so that accommodations may
be arranged for them.
Returned from Oklahoma.
Miss Leila Alexander returned
last Saturday from a very pleasant
two months visit spent with her
mother in Ardmore, Okla.
Antioch Camp Meeting Friday.
Antioch Gamp Meeting will begin
next Friday and this promises to be
a big meeting. Dr. S. R. Belk will
do a great part of the preaching at
this meeting which is to say that
much good will be accomplished.
Squelched His Patriotism.
It is not likely that any question
of whether this country has violated
her neutrality will arise over the
case of an Austrian reservist whose
wife appealed to the courts at Eliza
beth. New Jersey, to compel him to
stick to his job in this country and
support her rather than to go to war.
The judge who heard the case seems
to think patriotism begins at home,
as he ordered the reservist to mobil
ize $lO a week for his wife. The
would-be soldier will have to follow
the hum-drum path of peace and
Austria has lost a fighter. The
people of the United States are not
anxious to face the necessity of car
ing for the families of a lot of Eu
ropean nationals who leave their
wives and •hildren here while they
journey to the Old World to shoot
each other.
The Fraudulent Check BUI
The legislature did a srood piece
of “eleventh hour” work where
when it passed the bill which makes
it a misdemeanor to issue a check
when the man who -inns it has not
sufficient funds in bank to meet it.
There has been a need for such a
law in Georgia for a longtime. Un
der the present regulation a man
with a banx account could give a
check even if he only thought he
had a balance sufficient to cover it
ami there was no way to punish him
for it. There have been numerous
incidents througiiou the State in
which thi- practice ha- been in
dulged in and nobody has been made
to -uffer except the man who really
furni-hed the cash and had the
phony paper pm off on him.
I nder the law which has now
passed both he house and senate,
t’n - man wiio gives a bad check and
fail- to make .* good within thirty
day- can be prosecuted for the com
mission of a misdemeanor.
