THE HISTORY OF BIG TENT MEETING THE CLANSMAN. Sketch of This Remarka* ble Play To Appear Here Soon. The annual report of the Water uiul Light Commission for the year ending September 1, 1008, "has been filed with the city coun cil and shows thut the plant has made during that period, after paying all the current expenses and spending about $500 on re pairing the boiler and other ma chinery, about $5000 clear. The commission is composed of Messrs. A. S. Chamlee, W. R. Thigpen, and C. M. Cason and these gentlemen have been very careful and painstaking in the discharge of their duties and have lmd a thorough knowledge of the working of the plant at all times and have used every effort possi ble to put the plant on a paying basis tor the city, and the nice profit they have made shows how well they have succeeded. Since these gentlemen have been in office the lighting system has been placed in Tennille and the commission has not had a single kick from the people at that place and the lights there are giving perfect satisfaction.

Was Greatest Revival Held in Sandersville in Several Years. .Printing of the highest grnd# is done at this offlee. V.’e have two extra printers to serve you beside, the usual force. The enterprise of the School Auditorium in securing “The Clansman” for Tuesday evening, October 20th, is to be commended The Clansman is the most talked of play ever produced in the Uni ted States, and after its whirlwind record of the past three seasons, there will be keen anxiety to see it here. The Clansman for the first time told the story of the South, through the agency of the Ku Klux Klun, recovered its liberties and kept pure its Anglo-Saxon civilization after the Civil War. As was fitting, it was first played in the South, its birthplace, and achieved a hurricane success. “The North must sea itl The North must see it!” was assorted by Southern newspapers and statesman. And meantime North ern croakers howled: “The North won’t stand for it! The North will boycott it!” Manager George Rrannen accepted the challnnge, presenting The Clansman in New York City beginning January 8. IfiOff The success of the New York run was enormous. Five distinct and seperate engagements had to bo played in New York the first season, and an equal number the second and third sea sons. An all summer run at Mc- Viekor’s Theatre, Chicago, and capacity engagements and re-en gagements in St. Louis, Washing ton, Baltimore, Kansas City and other large cities have marked the three years of the play in the North. The show will be at the School Auditorium Tuesday evening to her 20th. The tent revival meetings which have been in progress in this city for the past two weeks came to a close Tuesday night after the most stirring scries of meetings this city has heard in many years. The meetings were conducted by Rev. John B. Cul pepper and his son Bourko. and were assisted by Mr. John Morrow, the singer. They preached very strong and forceful sermons throughout and their earnest en deavors to turn the people of this vicinity from their Binful way will long be felt by the entire community. Mr. Culpepper was pastor of the Washington circuit in this county about eighteen years ago and has a number of friends here who are always glad for him to be with them. Sunday night the largest congregation who had been out at all were present and listened to a very strong sermon by Rev. Bourke Culpepper, who held the attention of the outire crowd very closely. The congregation was composed of people from Snnders- viUe, Tennillo and almost every part of the county. The poachers left the city Wed nesday to (ill other engagements and carry with them the best wishes of all the good people of this section. MT. VERNON ASSOCIA* TION MEETS TUESDAY.
