Direct word regadring the armistice proposal from General Car-
ranba was awaited at the conferences of the envoys today. The
tension was relieved by advices that Dr. Edward Ryan had been
eased and was on his way to Mexico City.

Dock Thompson, of Comer, accusing
him of larceny from the person. The
case was set for trial in the court of

COBB-OELONEY CAMP
IS READY EBB TRIP
The members of Cobb-Deloney
camp will leave Athens on Tuesday
morning. May 5, ai 7:45 o’clock, over
the Central of Georgia railroad, ar
riving at Macon at 11 a. m. and will
leave Macon at 11:55, reaching Jack
sonville at 7:55 p. m.
The camp extends a cordial invita
tion to all veterans in the territory
adjacent to Athens to accompany
them on the trip, and will also take
on veterans along the line between
Athens and Macon. .
A meeting of the camp was held
in the city hall this morning, a large
number of the veterans being present.
It was found that the camp had am
ple funds on hand to take all old
soldiers who desired to attend the re
union, but who were financially unable
to do so.
A resolution was passed urging all
veterans to absolutely abstain Jrom
the use of intoxicants while on this
trip, not that all old soldiers are ad
dicted to the use of intoxicants, but
the temptation to many a trip of this
kind is great and the Athens camp de
sires to have all its members enjoy to
the fullest the reunion, which they
could not do if they imbibed.

News, world traveler,- author and ora
tor, is to lecture at the Chautauqua
here. As AO authority on Mormon-
ism there is. no better posted man
than Senator Cannon and he has been
heard with keen interest all over the
United States. For many years Son.
ator Cannon has been fighting poly,
gamy in the Mormon church. Years
ago whon the Mormons promised to
do better he interceded for them at a
time when they were threatened with
disfranchisement. His antagonism to
soms of their practices, which they
persisted in despite all promises. Anal

rises from the ashes.
He apparently tears the dove In

doves in his hinds. He throws a glass
of water into the air and it changes
into a dove and flies awav.
Not the least enjoyable feature of

keen mind and an artiatir appreciation.

sium, and a member of the present
junior law class.
Mr. Sorrells was elected vice presi
dent.
—a subject which has been much dis
cussed during the past year, but on
which few people arc fully informed.
Mr. Flowers' home is in California,
the state in which nearly all of the
Japanese in this country live, and
he knows whereof he speaks. His
previous residence in the east and his
extensive travel on lecture tours has
also gi-en him the viewpoint of the
easterner on this topic. Mr. Flowers
is an orator, in fact, is one of the fin
est speakers , on tho American plat
form. For two yteai* be was presi
dent of the International Lyceum as
