Adel pulled herself together just in time for a partial obser¬ vation of Memorial Day. The rallying forces were the teachers and students of the Adel Institute and the Adel band. The exer¬ cises were held at the Institute I Friday afternoon and the audito- rum was crowded to its fullest capacity. The band boys occupied seats in the the rear and rendered several appropriate selections. The school sang the national an¬ them, and Mr. Culpepper, the preacher-principal, after a few explanatory remarks, introduced Ool. L. E. Lastinger. Col Las- tinger was in the great struggle of the 60’s and recalled a few of his experiences and hardships as a confederate soldier. In his con¬ clusion he introduced Capt. G. A, Jackson as the orator of the day. Capt. Jackson responded in a happy vein, paying just tribute to departed comrades and in an easy manner dr3\v touching word pictures of many thrilling events which transpired during the four years thtxnv bn Gov. Taylor’s Let :ture. A good-natured, anti mored crowd of a dozen, includ¬ ing The News scribe, Went down to Valdosta Saturday afternoon and heard Bob Taylor’!^ new lec¬ ture on “sentiment.” JGov. Tay¬ lor has but few equals /and no su¬ periors day and on ti e large lecture cro\pl pjlatform availed to¬ a themselves of the opportunity to hear him Saturday nlight. We haven’t words or rhetojric to soar in the lecturer’s atmosphere for he is an artist of the highest at¬ tainments and his beautiful word pictures will not soon fade away from the minds of those who heard him in Valdqsta. His word* are music and his prose is a poem from beginning to end. There is mirth, philosophy and gospel all combined in his every sentence. Don't ever miss an opportunity of hearing Bob Tay¬ lor.

The Methodist services Sunday under the leadership Rev. S. S. Kemp were usually well attended, the house being comfortably filled. After the morning lesson was read Pastor Kemp preached a plain, practical sermon from the text “The sum¬ mer is over, the harvest is ended and we are not saved.” Bro. Kemp is always clear and strong in his discourses and the church seems to be prospering under his shepherding. Two new members were received into the church at the conclusion of the morning service Sunday. The work on their new building is now uuder way and wiU be pushed tc com¬ pletion.
