dox, ami made a strong appeal to the church

indorsed. The Salvationists are not doing
much in Athens. The meetings are well
enough attended, but the interest manifested
is due entirely to curiosity and not of a
religious nature. Several members have
departed, but the remaining few still con
tinue to hold the fort.

to leave, By the 5 o’clock train he was met
by his wife, who, seeing his condition, be
came very much affected, and asked that he
be allowed to stay until in a condition to
travel. One or two, whose sense of justice
and humanity was greater than their in
dignation, insisted that it was not right to
drive a human creature off in that condi
tion, no.mattor what he had done elsewhere.
Then, too, was the softening influence of a
woman’s tears, and he was allowed to go
back to the Madison House. His wife asked
for a physician and Dr. Hollingsworth re
sponded* but said he could not toll the ex
tent of his injuries. He will be strongly re
quested to leave as soon as he is able to
travel.

the shade of the trem to which everybody
was invited and to which ample justice was
done. The party returned to Elberton at f>
o'clock in the evening without an accident
