Still in Progress Here—Large Ms id and Koch Good is Being Do|t. protracted meeting at the odiht church continues with ted interest, • and the large gations that nightly assem- le seem more and more interested, A great religious awakening has followed'the meetings and much good is being done among those whose inclinations are to follow in the right paths. Mr. Leitch is a plain and force ful preacher, and while at times he uses language that bring blushes to the cheeks of many it is done, no doubt, to.make his intentions take a deeper impression on the minds ot those Ins insinuations are in tended for, He is.quite humorous at tiuies and mfrsperses* his ser mons with anecdotes and ludicrous personal experiences that cause the jocosely inclined to laugh heartily. The singing of MV. Marshall and assistants is one of the chief fea tures of the meeting, and the ap propriate new songs rendered. are enjoyed by all. The church is crowded nightly and the, large audiences are never disappointed with the services Providence permitting, the meet- will continue this week and' cordially invited to partici- in this shower of gruce. 7T ANNOUNCEKEHTS.

To Editor Viknna News: The political pot haa not yet boiled over at Pinehurat, but be it understood that we are furnishing one county candidate, James A. Williams, for collector of taxes. Our city fathers have increased the taxes this year and tbe Southern Express company seems dissatisfied and threatens to discontinue its office here. The Telegraph Co. in also dissatisfied and ate "making faces” at our Hon. body. If it is a bluff, its a bold one. We are of the opinion though that our city authorities holds “four aces” and could easily make a “call.” This seems to be some of the fruits .of “ring rule” that the Hon. Dupont Guerry told ubout at Vienna last Tuesday. There is a lot said nowadays about'Mobbyism,” “They” say that is in our legislature, We don't doubt it; it has been afloat for some time—several years. But When the tfoii. Thomas E; Wa I son began h is “course of education” on this same line several years agq . it was hooted at. We believe that it has existed foi some time and think .that it will continue tor some time, and will not cease until we get pure and undefiled gentlemen at the helm of the great ship of state, both state and national. Maybe we need the “shades” of a Tillman scattered through our law making bodies. It certainly would be no more dis graceful to have a fist-a-cuff scene every now and then, .jthan to have such a damnable curse as lobbyism that the politicians say exists. We heard a part of the Hon. Guerry’s discourse at Vienna last week, and verily his speech was like a “two-edged-sword” We believe he told the truth .all along, and if such a state of uffairs exist it seems to me that if we can't get rid of it no other way it would be well to impoit a few Ben Tillman’s if they can be found, and also a Mrs. Nution to help Mr. Guerry w hen he gets to be governor. Now I am for Guerry in thi# fight, but haven't got a hntebet or a pitchfork, but expect to cast my little wad in hit line. Oh! if wtf' had men with a I back bone” like Guerry says he has, that would save us from this shameful state of affairs. If this lobbyism is to such an enormous extent it should by all means be looked after, instead of our Hon. body, spending ibeir time on the innocent birds. My I my! set a trap for the “ringsters” and show-them ‘where they’re at.” We think however that you may safely count on Pinehurst going for Guerry, but of course we can’t tell yet. Smith and Estill may come this way, und if they do, you may he assured that somebody will get beatten.'tor its my candid opinion that Pinehurst will give a majority to one of the four. Voter. Pinehurst, Ga., Mar. 3. Hold Their Regalar Monthly Meeting Id This City Saturday MornlDg Vienna, Ga., Mar., t, 190a.
