Assembly Review, speaking of Rev. Sam Jones iecture at the Assembly au ditorium, says: There are lots of Jones but there is only one Sam Jones and he spoke to a crowded auditorium last night upon his favorite theme, “Ravages of Rum.” He was at his best and seemed to take pleas ure in shooting his pistol which was loaded full and well rammed down. There is one thing abot t Sam Jones’ work that counts and that is he borrows no gestures, he plagiarizes no one’s speech, and lias asked no one to write his two hours’ address for him. It is Jones from the heart, in Jones’ manner, and just to the degree that he is original and natural, to that de gree is he different from most men, and therein lies the success of the great man. If any man does not think that the great evangelist has done great work, let him stop criticising him for a minute and inquire into his career. He has preached to as large audiences as any man in Am erica and has preached to them in as many and unusual places, and his preaching has reached as many lives as that of any other evangel ist. Some may criticise him for not sticking to his subject last night, but all will have to confess that he stuck to his crowd. Often he broke forth in some bit of foolishness, driving home a fact or an illustra tion and then he climbed to beauti ful heights, and, about the time the hearers followed him to the summit, he lets them fall with a ridiculous thud. He gave in his lecture last night sfs much fun as two comedians, as much philosophy as tour universi ties, as much gospel as half a dozen theological seminaries,and as much common sensse as a mother of a large family of country boys. No writer can give a synopsis of Mr. Jones’ lecture. lie would keep three stenographers busy. JURY REVISERS ADJOURNED.

Its high regard for him as a Chris tian pastor, who in faith and love has held fast the form of sound words; studying to show himself approved unto God —a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the wbrd of truth; 'desiring to be an example of be lievers in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in pur ity, watching for souls as one that must give an account, and follow ing righteousness, faith, charity, peace with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. “Through all the changes to which human life is incident may the Lord be with him and his fam ily, their shield and their ing great reward. Grace, mercy and peace from God, our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.” Mr. G. H. Miller, of Rome, was elected to succeed Mr. Craig as a member of the board of trustees of Euharlee Institute. A delightful lunch was served the members of the presbytery in the lecture room of the church by the ladies of the church. FOUR CAR LOADS EACH DAY- Peach Crop Is Being Shipped From Adairsville Now. Atlanta Constitution. Adairsville, Ga., August 4.—The Elberta peach season is open and the luscious fruit is fast being put upon the market. The shipments have been going forward at the rate of two or three cars a day for several days. This week will see ten and fifteen cars per day loaded. The fruit is not as fine this year as last, neither does it bring the price expected. The large bulk of the crop is being sold delivered on the cars here, and the price is from 60 cents to $1.25 per crate. The buyers have been here in numbers and more would have been realized for the crop, but in some instances the fruit is small and specked, owing to dry weather. There are yet many growers who have not sold their crops and who are holding for better figures. It is thought that most of the crop will be ship ped farther east this season than ever before. The growers are working all the time iu the orchards and hauling to the cars until near morning, in some instances. So far there has been no scarcity of labor of any variety. The laborers are doing better work this year, owing to the fact that they have had some ex perience, which is worth a great deal in the ultimate price secured for the fruit. Best Coujfh Syrup.
