TRY THE JOSSEY WAY
E OF THE
Little need to tell that those words
mean a portrayal of tho life and work
of Jesus of Nazareth. But now they
have a different meaning In that they
stand as the name of the greatest
motion picture ever produced. At
first thought such a statement may
be received with skepticism by the
men who 'have learned to look for un
due exaggeration relative to dramatic
productions, but it Is probable that
not one of those who see the film
when It is presented in this city will
deny the truth of the statement.
S nee the film is to be exhibited in
this city at Majestic today a graphic
description of the photo-play wll not
be out of place.
True to Hstory.
It is a story of Jesus, founded on
the holy records, and descriptions of
Christ’s work as told In the Bible. It
tells in a clear and comprehensive
way which will not escape the young
est mind, the events dealing with the
birth of Jesus, the flight Into Egypt,
Christ as a boy in tbe temple at Je
rusalem, the calling of the disciples
the working of miracles, the healing
of the blind and maimed, the raising
of to dead, and last and most Impres
sive of all the persecution and cruci
fixion of the Saviour.
In the scenes which are unfolded,
the audience will mark the deep re-
riousness of those who took part In
the production, as if they realized the
saeredness of the subject and the
work delegated to them. Not one of
the touching and impressive Incidents
In the life of Christ has been neglect
ed, and he who can aee this picture
without being moved, to a deeper
sense of religious responsibility Is In
deed callous and hobelMk
It consists of fiv?*W^!s of film
which aggregate 5,000 feet and are
reeled off in about an hour and a half.
Over 400 different soenes are shown,
many of them being so clear and per
fect that it seems as if they were
hand colored. A costlier and more
perfect motion picture has never been
shown in this country.
A called meeting of the mayor and
council was held yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of considering the
pavement of a number of streets, ad
vertising the recent bond issues for
sale and other matters.
Bids for Bonds.
Advertising the bond issues recent
ly authorized will be Inserted this
week in a number of financial papers
throughout the country. The date
fixed for the opening and conisdering
bids will be June 16th, at eleven
o’clock, at the city hall.
Books to be Audited.
The books and accounts of the va
rious departments of the city will be
audited within the next few weeks.
The work will likely be done by Joel
Hunter & Co., certified public ac
countants. The work will require
several days and a complete audit of
ell departments will be made.
A number of minor matters were
discussed and referred to the proper
committees, after which council ad
journed.

Tonight. Saturday, matinee and
night the John Lawrence Players will
present “The Virginian,” a touching
story of the West In the days when
its thousands of acres were covered
with countless herds of grazing cattle.
The West—when the picturesque
cowboy reigned supreme—when love
and hate—when sacrifice and hard
ships tested the steel in men’s hearts.
When self-preservation, the first law
of nature, was forcibly illustrated
When ranchmen in protecting their
herds against cattle thieves did not
wait for tbe laws of the state to aid
them, but made their own laws, and
carried them out in a way that was
swift, sure and unerring. In the dnys
when men were ever ready to fight at
the hat among themselves, and co :ld
be turned and twisted, transformed
Into awkward blushing stammering
boys by a smile, a smile from one
of the fair sex—any one of tho few
who dared to invade tho West when
it was the West. Add to this pathos
intermingled with comedy and It will
give but a feint description of ‘‘The
Virginian.”

The following significant call has
been Issued by one in authority to
make such an announcement:
"A meeting of the stockholders
and depositors of the late Athens
Trust and Banking Company is called
for this evening at S o'clock in the
offices of Prof. J. B. Vaughan in the
Southern Mutual Insurance Building.
Business of importance is to be trans
acted and it is earnestly desired that
every stockholder and every deposi.
tor, so far as it may be possible, be
on hand."
Purpose of Meeting.
The author of the notice above did
not feel authorized to give out for
publication the plans and purposes of
the parties interested in this meeting
of depositors and stockholders in the
wrecked institution and stated to the
Banner that after the meeting there
will be likely an Important announce
ment to make.
It is understood, however, from
other sources, that the object of the
meeting of those who have suffered
loss in the failure of the bank Is to
arrange to employ counsel to assist
the state’s attorney in the vigorous
prosecution of the officials of the
bank who are charged with violating
the banking laws of the state and Id
one or two specific cases with embez
zlement. It is more than likely that
the depositors and stockholders will
employ one of the most eminent and
able prosecuting attorneys in tho
state to get on the case and be ready
for the trial on June 23rd at the spe
cial term of Clarke superior court
which has been called to try the
cases and a jury for which term was
drawn yesterday morning.
