homes. The Mercer colors, black and
yellow were seen ou
nearly two -hundred breasts,
and several youn-r ladies from Macon
were along to attest their faith in the
Merc-’r boys I’ was a fine delegation
of young men and young ladies, and a
nicer crowd nevsr came on a visit to
Athens.
The University campus wasdecorated
with black and c imson and on the field
one goal was decorated in University
colors, th-- other in Mercer colors. Long
before three o’cl tek the crowd began to
ass- mble and the yells of the two col
leges were al ernately raised with
a vim by the boys. The University
goat was driven aeross the field by the
boys and raised quite a ripple of laugh
ter. At three o’clock there were over wv .
one thousand people on the ground, and 1 Mercer brings ball to 25 yard line

Some Interesting Matter for Sunday
Reading.
Archdeacon Farrar, of London, says
that he will give $500 for proof of a
single case, in the church or out of it,
where a person has been cured of intem
perance without practicing total ab
stinence.
When the distillation of liquor was
stopped in England, on account of
grain, for three years, the mortality of
London decreased 3 793 deaths in one
year. “The statistics of the rise and fall
of the numbei of deaths in Londou,”
says an eminent physician, “established
the fact that the mortality of people will
increase or decrase in proportion as the
consumption of alcoholic liquors is aug
mented or diminished.”
CAPT- WILLIAMS RETURNS

Capt. Wiiliaiu Williams, our genial
and efficient, agent of the Express Com
party, has return* d from iiis trio to his
o’d home in England, accompanied by
his wife who went with him . They ar
rived in Athens Friday afternoon.
Capt. Williams had aright bad time
of it during bis trip. Sbon after his
arrival in England, his brother died
and he was much bereaved over his
death. Then tie was taken sick in Liv
erpool and had to come home at once
So from some standpoints his visit was
not a very pleasant one. But withal bp
found many pleasant moments. Hi j

WHO WOULD BE A DRUNKARD*
He who would he a drunkard must begin
With just one glass anil not another drop;
Sip sparkingly ns if he kuew ’twere sin
To deeply drink, not knowing when to stop,
He finds himself o’erwhelmed with grief and
care,
Think-* that n single glass will do him good;
’Twill cheer him, give him courage strong to
bear
The illsof life with Christian fortitude.
The first step in the art of drinking taken,
The second is muchca-der, i* it hut?
A sober resolution may be shaken—
A eiogle glass may make the tulure sot.
He who would be a drunkard, let him st’fle
The .till small voice of conscience while he
. sips;
Thttk that his mother’s love is but a trifle,
Forget a father’s precepts in his moderate
cups.
The final stage is reached: Remorse, Despair!
His downward course at last has found lts
goal;
The youtn whose prospects once looked bright
and fair—
A shipw.ecked body and a ruined soul.
LIQUOR CRAZED HIM.
The doctrine of unrestrained personal
liberty was illustrated on board the
steamship, La Bretagne, on her latest
trip. A Frenchman, maddened by
brandy, seized his five year old son, and
flung him over board in the presence of
his wife, daughter and other passengers,
Efforts were made to reecue the little
fellow, but in vain. The man of course
wilibe punished, and should be; but
that will not restore the boy’s life or
mend his mother’s broken heart
There is nothing that may
not happen to a thin baby.
There is nothing that may
not happen to a man who is
losing his healthy weight.
We say they are “poor.”
They are poorer than we at
first suspect.
