3 A GOOD WORK.
Rev John T. Jenkins, pastor of the
Buptist church, read a very pleasant
greeting to his church last Sunday
morning, it being the first Sunday of
the third year of his pastorate here,
The paper stated that love and har
mony had prevailed in the membership
during the past year without external
or internal disturbances. Two great
meetings had been held and the Holy
Spirit had been continually manifest
in all the regular work and services of
the church. One hundred and fifteen
souls had been added to the church,
which is the largest number of ad
ditions in any one year in the history
of the church. The financial report
showed about $3,000 expended in vari
ous ways, which is the largest amount
raised by the church in any year, (ex
cept for building purposes.)
Two enterprises have been planned
for the future: (1.) For increase in
mission contributions. (2.) A gospel
tent to seat about 500 people, to be
used prinecipally by laymen in trying to
reach the non church-going element in
the ‘city. :
Rev. Mr, Jenkins has done a good
work in our city. He is earnest, re
sourceful and devotes his entire time
to the one purpose of his life—to teach
the gospel and save souls. He is genial,
courteous and popular, and the future
will record a greater amount of good
nceomplished by him. He has a live,
working charch to co-operate with him,
which 18 a great help.
A BESTRUCTIVE FIRE. :
On Thursday morning last about 1:30
o’clock the alarm oi fire was sounded.
The residence of Mrs. A. Reynolds, Sr.,
was on fire. The entire roof was en
veloped in a blaze when the fire depart
ment arrived and it looked asif the en
tire building was doomed to destrue
tion, but the heroic firemen, nothing
daunted, bravely began to fight the
destroyer, and put on streams of water
and in one hour's time they had the fire
out. The second story was burned off,
but the first story was saved, butina
badly damaged condition. All the fur
niture in the first story was saved, but
the furniture in the second story was
destroyed. Mr. Frank Reynolds was
sleeping in the second story and was
uwakened by a crackling noise and he
soon discovered that the building was
in flames. He dragged his trunk down
stairs and aroused his mother and sister
and they hurriedly dressed and got out.
Mr. Walter Reynolds, asleep it the up
per story, when aroused, soon discov
ered that the fire criginated in the
south side of the building; how it start
ed is unknown. The building was two
story of eleven rooms and a basement,
and was bailt by Dr. A. Reynolds, Sr.,
now deceased and was one of the most
elegant residences in the city. There
was insurance with Dr. Groves to the
winount of $2,000 on the building and
$5OO on the furaiture.
; CLARKE LIBRARY.
At the commencement of the new
vear I would like to present to the
public a few facts concerning this in
stitution, of which Marietta should be
proud and to which the citizens should
extend aliberal patronage. The Libra
ry stands now entirely free from debt.
During the past gix months there have
been donated to the ]'.fbrury eighty
odd volumes, all valuable and many of
them new and dealing with important
topies of the day. In addition to this,
there have been found twenty-six
friends of the Library sufficiently in
terested in its welfare to pledge them
selves to give two new books each dur
ing the present year. This means that
one book will be purchased and placed in
the Library each week during the en
tire year. It is the desire of the Board
of Directors to give the public a good
Library of well-selected books, and to
this end we ask the hearty co-operation
of the citizens. Aid us by subsecribing
to the Library and so make this a pros
ous New Year to thiz worthy institu
tion, Kate S. Winn, Librarian.
Widows often succeed in lead
ing bachelors to the altar; they
have been there before and know
the way!
INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
Industrial education is the great need
of the age. Edueate men and women
for the practjeal duties of life. Book
learning is good and should not be
slighted, but teaching the boys and
girls how to make a living is far more
necegsary. What the boy and girl of
today should be taught is how to farm
and cook, how to take care of stock and
keep house, how todo all manner ot
things about the house, the garden, the
lot and farm. How to doector a sick
horse or cow, hew to make poor land
productive, how to increase the yield
in corn, wheat, oats and cotton per acre.
How to utilize his time and husband
his resources, to be economical and
saving. These are the things the boys
and girls should be taught. While pol
ishing the boy and girl for society,
teaching them how to appeareasy, nat
ural and at home in all gatherings,
don’t forget the day is coming when
they will have to rub up against many
rough places in life, and feel and realize
the need of a practical knowledge of
things that go to make up life.
AFTER-HOLIDAY ADVERTISING.
Printer’s Ink for the last week of the
year offers to business men a number
timely suggestions. For example: “If
you need advertising at all you need it
during the dull spell that follows the
holiday season. Don’t think there is
no use in pushing for business. Don’t
get an idea that people quit buying
goods with the passing of Christmas.
The beginning of the new year is a very
good time to get new customers started
with you. That your competitors stop
or decrease their 'advertising immedi
ately after the holidays is the very best
reason why you should not do so.”
ODD FELLOWS.,
In the hall of Cherokee Lodge No 8,
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the
following officers were installed for the
ensuing term, each having been unan
mously elected at a previous meeting:
F. K. Swalley, Noble Grand ; H. B. Mc-
Clatehey, Vice Grand; A. W. Rankin,
Secretary; J. P. Cheney, Treasurer;
O. E. Henderson,Distriet Deputy Grand
Master,
S. V. Ganford, RSN G: Geo D An-
LSNG; MD Hodges, RSVG:;: C W
Foster, LS V G; John M Nelson, O G
Harry Looney,llG; C E Power, Con
ductor; h E Kile, R SS; W T Mosher,
LSS, Chaplain and Warden deferred.
Cherokee Lcdge No. 8, 1. 0. 0., isin
a flourishing stage. For the last six
months we have initiated over forty
members, making in all over one hun
dred Odd-Fellows in good standing in
our gem city.
For the wvenefit of the publie, or the
accuser, as our order has been, from its
birth until the present moment, the
subject of suspicion and attack, I will
add a few general remarks
The Order of Odd Fellows is a secret
society of men for fraternal purposes:
an association of individuals of various
creeds and ideas, whose business it is,
not only to alleviate each other’s trou
ble in cases of necessity, but to cement
themselves in the unity of Friendship,
Love ond Truth: shus, it is not a mere
pecuniary advantage, as many unfor
tunately understand it to be: its doe
trine is, that in all the circumstances
of life in which a brother may be plac
ed, he is to receive the aid, the counsel
or the protection of his fellow-members,
not as a favor merely but as a right,
What a grand century it has been in
the world’s history! No where in
written history can be found anything
for the benefit of men, for the allevia
tion of distress, the care of the sick,
the widow and orphans, to compare
with the great order of Odd Fellows—
the largest secret society in the world.
At the beginning of 1900 there were
more than one million members en
rolled in our army of Odd Fellows.
There was expended in relief during
the year 1899 in over one hundred and
twenty thousand homes, three million
six hundred and ninety-five thousand
four hundred ard eighty-eight dollars
and thirty-two cents.
Just for a moment ponder over these
concluding remarks.
Only a little more than three-quar
ters of a century old is the American
order, and yet just think of the expen
diture in one year of such a sum as
$3,605,488 32 for the relief of the sick
and distressed men and women, de
pendent orphans, burial of dead, and
other benefactions while probably next
door to you you know nothing of it.
Who is it can compute or comprehend
the sum of good the distribution of
this immense sum of money has done
for the needy, the tears it has dried,
the joy it has brought to bleeding
hearts ? And yet the work goes on,
and will go on until the throes of na
ture shall submerge in chaos this good
old earth. In eternity, perhaps, when
the seroll of the records of the good
men have done in life, a faint compre
hension of the work of Odd Fellowship
may be had, but not before.
Homer R, MoCravoney,
Retiring Secretary.
There may be some truth in the say
ing that a man’s physical nature
changes every seven years, but that
does not.seem to apply to his mental
make-up, for there are scores of people
whose ideas haven’t undergone a
change in seventeen years. Théy are
as unchangeable as the laws of natrue.
