The Hide from Atlanta to Knoxville in Four
and a Half Hours on New Line.
A special from Knoxville to the
Journal of Saturday says:
The officials of the Atlanta,
and No; them railroad,
Khich hereafter will be the Louis
K-ille and Nashville railway, have
■returned from Louisville, Ky.,
■ where he had been in consultation
Iwith higher officials. When the
I Cincinnati and Atlanta line is com
Dieted the road will make the ride
I between Knoxville and Atlanta in
four and a half hours. This ride
will be on the trunk line that is
now being built and not old tracks
of the A.. K. & N. railway.
The train will go over the new
line from Knoxville to Etowah and
from Etowah to Cartersville, Ga.,,
then over the Western and Atlantic
into Atlanta. This schedule will
be made on the new line on a
through train with very few stops.
By going over tne new line the
mountain is avoided and the loop
does not have to be made. This
distance is shorter and the grade
is splendid over the entire new
line from Knoxville to Carters
ville, Ga.
It is understood that very few
stations will be built along the new
line and it will be used only for
fast passengers and freight, while
the A., K. & N. railway line will
be operated from a local stand
point. . ■
With this time the greatest city
in the south and the best in Ten
nessee will be only four and a half
hours’ ride.
The contractors are now busy on
the work and Chief Engineer
Willoughby will succeed J. Howe
Peyton and push the work until
completed. Two thousand men
are at work on the line and will
be completed by July ist.
Banquet Given to Mi lionaires.
More than $250,000,000 was rep
resented by the guests at a lunch
eon given at the Bellevue-Strat
ford today by Thomas Dolan, pres
ident of the United States Gas
Improvement Company. The
menu, with the exception of the
wines, was extremely simple, but
the occasion served to hold the
guests in the Clover room for nearly
four hours. Mr. Dolan declares
that the luncheon was purely a
social affair, and that no business
hints can be drawn from the
list of guests or their grouping
about the table.
Every available inch of the
room was occupied by a huge oval
table, the guests being seated close
to the walls of the room facing
one another The entire space

mass of ferns, evergreens and
bowering plants, including Easter
lilies, which are rather unusual at
this time of the year.

CHURCH DEDICATED.
Interesting Exercises Christmas Dav at New
Methodist Church in Cassyille.
In consideration of what the
day commemorates it was prop
erly observed by the Methodist
congregation of "the old town.’’
The principal event was the dedi
cation of the handsome new
church by Rev J. M. Tumlin, the
pastor, assisted by Rev. Ford Me-
Ree, the presiding elder. Though
the clouds were lowering and rain
threatened early in the morning,
this did not deter the people from
coirfing, and a large and apprecia.
tive audieuce assembled in the
beautiful chapel to witness the
dedicatory exercises.
The exercises were opened by
the rendition by the phoir of thal
superb old hymn, "Glory to God
in the Highest.” The introduc
tory lesson was read by the pre
siding elder, closing with a prayer
of great earnestness and power.
Rev. J. M. Tumlin then deliv
ered the dedicatory sermon, which
was clear, forceful and elegant,
using as his text, "Christ the body
of the church and the bead over
all.” At the close of the sermon
Judge J. W. Akin, who has taken
such a lively interest in the re
building of the church, contribut
ing liberally and giving as a me
mento to the memory of his sainted
father (the Hon. Warren Akin)
the pulpit service consisting of
pulpit, three chairs and commun
ion table, was called upti to speak
He arose from bis seat and slowly
advanced to the chancel rail, and
with evidently deep emotion com
menced his talk with this impres
sive introduction:
“A land without desolation and
ruin is a land without memory.
A laud without memory is a land
without hope.”
For thirty minutes, though it
seemed but five, he held the audi
ence spell-bound wi.b his magic
eloquence. He reviewed the his
tory of . the church in its early
days, and the history of the then
thriving, happy town that had
been the home of his father in his
young manhood, the heme he
loved so well and the old church
at which his father constantly
worshiped and in which he
preached. So great was his father’s
attachment to the old place that
at his death he left a request that
he be buried at the old cemetery,
where his sacred ashes repose.
He gave his first childish recol
lections of the old town. In the
latter part of 1865, accompanying
his father in a buggy, he entered
where once the town began, and
as they proceeded down the main
street there was nothing to be
seen on the right hand or the left
but ruin and desolation. Ash
heaps, charred timber and black
ened chimneys marked the spots
where once were the homes of a
happy people. He could but be
moved by the deep emotion of his
father as he witnessed the great
welling tears course down his fur
rowed cheeks.
We can give but a faint idea
of this pathetic impromptu talk —
the welling pathos, the eloquence
of his rounded periods and the
tears as they came unbidden from
the eyes oi his spell bound listen
ers as he brought back the past,
with its touching and tender mem
ories. .
When he sat down Dr. R. I.
Battle, chairman of the board of
trustees, made a formal tender of
the beautiful edifice to the pastor
as a temple for the services of the
church and the indwelling of the
Holy Spirit,
The gift was formally received
and dedicated, with a prayer of
benediction for the great spiritual
awakening ot its members. The

English Grand Opera and Molber Goose to
Appear at the grand.
Thecoming visit to Atlantaof the
Savage English Grand Opera organi
zation will undoubtedly be the musi
cal and society event of the season at
Atlanta and surrounding cities. Mr.
Savage’s splendidly equipped com
pany promises to have a most enthu
siastic reception by music lovers who
have been looking forward to this
rare operatic treat.
The opera festival will be given at
the Grand Opera house and consists
of four performances, beginning Mon
day, January l(i, and ending Wednes
day, January !8.
In the last few- years this company
has grown until it is now recognized
as the most worthy institution in
the country. This year Mr. Savage
is making a complete tour of the
country for the first time and this
territory is one of the fortunate
places to be visited.
Among the well-known members of
the company are Joseph Sheehan, the
famous high “0” tenor, and William
Wagener, the Wagnerian tenor;
Gertrude Remyson and Jean Lane
Brooks, two superb dramatic sopra
nos; Marion Ivell, the brilliant con
tralto whose Carmen has attracted
such wide attention; Rita Newman
the California mezzo-soprano; Win
fred GofT, probably America’s most
artistic Laritone; Arthur Beane, direct
from Covent Garden, London; Fran
cis J. Boyle, the deep basso, and
Harrison W. Bennett, the fiwe basso
cantante.
Among the new ■ principals this
year are the prima donftas Kate
Sherwood and Rita Harrington; the
tenors, Henry Barron and Eugene
Robert, the baritones, A. H. Busby
and Thomas D. Richards, and the
bassos, Charles Henderson end Rich
ard Jones. Manager Savage has a
triple cost of principals for each
opera in English.
It is generally well known to music
lovers that the great bulwark of his
organization is fou*nd in the all-Ame
ican chorus made up of tuneful, well
schooled voices, selected from 1,240
applicants this season. This is lar
gest eltoiUS now appealing in an
opera company and brings the roster
of his organization up to 110 English
singing prima donnas, tenors, bari
tones and basses.
One of the most important features
of the company is its large orchestra
of 40 competent musicians, which the
company carries and it plays under
the musical direction of Chevalier
N. B. Emanuel and Mr. Elliott
Schenck. Mr. Emanuel has had
thirty years’ experience in European
capitals, and is one of the best equip
ped conductors who ever visited
America. Mr. Schneck is one of the
most promising American composers.
He spent eight years in the study of
the works of the German master and
now ranks next to Walter Damroseh
%
as a Wagnerian authority in this
country. •
The impotance of the company can
be relized when it is said that it
requires a special train of 12 cars for
its transportation.
The reportory for the Atlanta Opera
Festival is very fascinating and is as
follows:
Monday, Jauuary 16, at 8 o’clock
sharp, Wagner’s most popular opera,
Lohengrin, with all its sonorous melo
dies including the famous “Wedding
March,” “Elsa’s Dream,” and the
“Swan Song.”
Tuesday, January 17. —Verdi’s
masterpiece. “Othello,” for the first
time in any language in Atlanta or
thesouth. One of the most fascinat
ingly powerful operas ever written.
Wednesday matinee, January 18 —
The most popular opera in the world,
Verdi’s "111 Trovatore,” with all its
great song numbers, including “The
Anvil Chorus,” “The Miserere” and
others.
Wednesday night, January 18 —
Bizet’s florid and enthralling opera,
"Carmen” with Marion Ivell, the
the greatest singer of America.
ranged for the purpose of encour

FRED A. SMITH.
At the regular meeting of
Cartersville Lodge. 142,1. 0:0. F.,
on Thursday evening, the 15th of
September, this year, resolutions
upon the death of Brother Fred A.
Smith were adopted as follows:
Inasmuch as, iu the wisdom of
an all-beneficent Providence, our
late brother has been removed from
our circle, it becomes us to express
how deeply we mourn that "death
loves a shining aiark.”
For his honesty, sobrfety and
earnestness ot purpose made our
brother a shining mark among
those who fear God and- loye a
neighbor.
For his was that simplicity, to
wards Christ, that sal
vation, to question which is to
deny that Christ himself hath said,
"Ye shall drink indeed of my cup
and be baptized with the baptism
that I am baptized with, but to
sit on my right hand end ou my
left is not mine to give, but it shall
be given to those for whom it was
prepared of my Father; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That, in the death
of Brother Fred Smith our order
has lost a most efficient and well
beloved exemplar.
Resolved, That, however much is
our loss, we feel and believe that
our brother has only changed his
sphere of influence, gone to that
sphere where the sincerity and
probity of an earthly life inti
mate that heaven is not a place
but a character, a temperament.
Resolved that our heartfelt sym
pahty be extended to the bereaved
of our brother.
*
Resolved that these resolutions
occupy one full page of the min
utes of this lodge, and that a copy
of them be tendered the family of
the deceased.
Resolved that these resolutions
be printed in the News.

Thursday evening of October

that is embodied in our order, the
following resolutions upon the
death of our late Brother J. R.

On September, ioth* 1904, God
in his Providence took from our
midst our worthy Brother Robert
Akin. We miss our brother but
God knows test. Death is truly
sad at any time, but when the an
gel of death comes we must go
"It is allotted that all men once
must die.”
Our chain has been broken here
on earth, but we hope that the bro
ken link will add another good line
in Heaven, where all is peace and
love.
The shadow of sorrow and suffer
ings are mysterous to us now, but
we know that, Goddoeth all things
well.” We feel that Brother Akin
is resting softly in the arms of
Jesus.
Therefore he is resolved tha.
this tribute of "Friendship, Love
and Truth,” occupy a page of the
minutes of our lodge, and that the
same be published in the News.

Return to tha Farm.
Augusta Chronicle thinks
it would be a good thing if many
young men who left the farms in
hard times would return to them
in this era of prosperity, when the
farmer has us all in his power to a
consideiable degree. An intelli
gent young man,with industry and
thrift, can do much bett°r farming
than by clerking in cities, with
their demoralizing tendencies, says
the Chronicle. Colonel Bob Inger
soll was a sad infidel and said
many ugly things and helped un
dermine many a weak brother’s
faith, but now and then he uttered
true and beautiful and wise senti
ments. Among the latter he once
said:
“Young man, I would rather
have forty acres of land and a log
cabin on it, and a woman I love in
the cabin, with a grassy path lead
ing down to the spring where the
water gurgles from the lips of the
earth, gurgling day and night to
the white pebbles a perpetual song,
with hollyhocks growing at the
corner of the house and morning
glories blooming over the low-lock
ed door—with lattice work over
the window so that the sunlight
would fall checkered over the babe
in the cradle, and the birds, like
songs with wings, hovering in the
summer air—than to be the clerk
of any government on earth.”
