\ g\S SERIES—VOL-I—NO. 7. HE TABERNACLE MEETING. Mrs- Sam Jones Writes to the News and Courant- TELLS OF WINONA LAKE- Fine Array of Talented Preachers to be Here in September-“Chil drens’ Day” a Feature, On the morning of the 6th of August, after saying good bye to our loved ones in Cartersville, we stepped aboard the W. & A. train for Chattanooga, speeding away through the hills of North Geor ofa, Tennessee, Kentucky and on to Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. Af ter two days’ journey- we arrived ♦at "Beautiful Winona.” ' Here we met Mr. Jones. He had broken down in his work and had come here for a week’s rest and recup eration, and there is no place on the American continent better adapted to rest than here. Winona Lake is in the northern part of Indiana, 125 miles east of Chicago, on the Pennsylvania rail road, the direct line from Chicago to New York. There is a repre sentative people here from this state, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Texas, etc We find everything here to make the time pass pleas antly—sports such as golf, tennis, bathing and boating, and they have on the platform some of the best talent that the country can boast of. People who are denied the privi leges of the chautauquas do not realize that they are one of the fin est educational advantages this age affords for old and young. There arc many of the people here again that we met last summer. There is no other chautauqua I have visited (and I have been to many of the best) where we have the fine social features that we have at this place. This is one of its chief attractions. Everybody seen.s anxious to make every one else happy and have a good time, looking always on the sunny side of life. The Woman's Club entertained the visiting ladies at four o’clock on Weduesdsy afternoon. We were ali invited aboard an immense barge and w r e were towed out by the beautiful little steamer “Wel come,” midway the lake and then anchored. TJ[) committee on en tertainment had arranged a most delightful programme of music, recitations, etc., then followed de lightful refreshments. After an hour spent thus, the little steamer glided back and took us ashore. A rising vote of thanks was given the club and the usual chautauqua salute of waving of the handker chiefs, and we went ashore. It was pronounced with one accord a most novel and charming entertainment. There is one department of Chris tian work here that I have become much interested in, and that is the fiesb Sir camps for the waifs of the surrounding cities. Just of tbe chautauqua grounds proper there is a beautiful knoll known as Chicago Hill and this is where the tents are arranged The chris tian people have committees who take charge of these children and some of the mothers who are privi leged to come with them and they arrange everything possible for their comfort and good, physical and spiritual. They ha\ e visiting committees who read to them, and they have prayer meeting and Sun day school. They are taken in bathing and tliev are also given tbe privileges of the ball grounds. T lev are alwavs attended by one the different committees. The Wiuona Assembly lurnishes the entile camping equipment aud tbe Indianapolis News provides money lor defraying the expenses to and fro, and all other expenses of the Pip. Last week,there were 125 boys and mothers: this week 90 girls and seven mothers. Special trains bring ana take them over the Big Four railroad, aud after they get here, all that loving hands and hearts can do is done for them. This will be an oasis in their lives. Why should not Atlanta do like wise? In a word, there is no other place like Winona with its beau tiful lake, restful groves, fine asso ciation, educational advantages and religious influences. There are mauy thirgs of which I might tell THE NEWS AND COURANT. you but foi fear of tiring your readers, I desist. i I now want to sav some things to you in reference to our annual tabernacle meeting, which will be gin on the Sth of September and continue until the 15th. Mr. Jones would have me say that wc will have with us this year Dr. Monk, whom we all know and love and will be glad to have with us again. Mr. Charles Crittenden, the found er of the Florence Crittendeu Home, will also be here and Mr. L-‘tP. Brown, of Meridian, Miss., who was with us several years ago*and gave us such fine and helpful bible reading. Dr. Bascom Anthony, of Savannah, Ga., son of Rev. J. D. Anthony, who has been known as the bishop of the wire r.iss re gion, whom we have had in f rm r years at our meeting and whose preaching was so acceptable and helpful; Revs. Dickey. Byrd, John son and Bigham, of Ala ita, Dr. Cofer, of LaGrauge and others. We will have this year anew feat ure at our meeting, that of Chil-. ; drens’ Day, which will be led by the great Sunday school man, R. P. Reppard, of Savannah. He will select one day during the week and when he indicates to us the day he will be there, we will ad vertise it fully so that all the chil dren of the county may come in. We trust that this will be the best aud most helpful meeting we have ever held in the tabernacle and that all the Christian people will pray that we will have such a meeting as we so much need in Cartersville and Bartow county, and that the spirit of God may rest mightily upon the people. We will remain here during the bible conference, which opens Sun day, the most profitable week of the summer. The best and most consecrated men of the Presby terian church at large and many other denominations, take part in this conference. The meetings this week are being conducted by Dr. R. J. McNeil, of Kilmacolm, Scotland. He is a native of Scot land and speaks in that peculiar and beautiful brogue. He is a man of fine personality and is listened to with great interest and edifica tion by all who hear him. Next week, the meetings will be in charge of Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, who is at the head of this confer ence. Mr. Jones will join us on the 22d and will address the confer ence by special request. We leave here on the morning of the 26th, and will stop over at Cincinnati and Louisville. There we spend I four days at the Masonic Conclave, then home and we are always glad to turn our faces homeward. There is no place so dear as the red hills of Georgia. Mrs. Sam P. Jones. Winona Lake,lndiana, Aug. 16,1901 BUILDING COLLAPSES. Byrd Printing Establishment Com pletely Wrecked, £ tlanta, Ga,, August 17. —The rear wall of the large building be tween Whitehall and Broad streets with an entrance front on the rail road track, gave way today at 10:30 o’clock and fell with a crash,shak ing the whole block and wrecking the entire structure. The building was occupied by the Byrd Printing Company, and beneath the ruins is buried one of the most complete and valuable printing and binding outfits in the south. But for apparently providential ly directed warning by a loud crackling noise caused by the first giving away of the wall, the .cas ualties would have been appalling. 111 the establishment was em ployed a large force of men, wo men, girls and boys, who barely had time to heed the calls of .varn ing from people outside and es cape, many of them with hats,coats and other clothing left the doom ed building. The entire outfit of the concern was buried under tons of debris aud it will be many days before it can be removed and the damage ascertained. nSi*" CURESWHEREALL ELSE FAtlS.’ gJ Beet C\mgh Syrup.

GATHERING OF HE VETERANS. Tabernacle and Grounds Present an Inspiring Scene- AS . BOYS OF THE SIXTIES- With Their Family and Friends Mingle In a Notable Reunion. Y esterday. The marching of the fragmentary representatives of the Southern Cause in the civil war, the hearty hand grasps, the joyous smile, the glow of happiness pervasive of each countenance, the mingling and chatting and waim greetings made up a scene yesterday at the fabernackle grounds challenging the recolection and impressing the casu il bystander. The reunion of the 23d Ge r o ia in which the P M. B Young camp of veterans, the Daughters of the Confederacy and Pettit’s Creek Farmers club joined, was a glo rious success in every way. The occasion was intended to be, in ad : dition to the first design, the 23d Georgia’s reunion, a reunion also of the veterans of the county. The crowd present was estima ted at about 2500 people. The two morning trains brought the survivors of the 23d Georgia except the home contingent, aud these were met i t the depot by lo cal veterans. The veterans all formed in line and marched from the depot to the ground, the 23d Georgia men,wear ing bright, new badges, in front. These numbered about fifty, while of the other veterans there were about two hundred. The assemblage was under the' tabernacle and the exercises were opened about 11 o’clock by prayer by Rev. A. W. Bealer. The song America was sung faultlessly and with spirit by the well known home quartette, after which. Judge T. W. Milner wel comed the veterans in a splendid speech. After music again came the re sponse on behalf of the 23d Geor gia by Capt. R. M. Mitchell, of Ac worth, whose speech was a wor thy effort. Mrs. ‘Cunyus sang a beautiful song in her charming manner and then Rev. G. W. Yarbrough gave a capital talk aud was followed bv Rev. R. B. Headden, who finished the speaking before dinner in his usual happy vein. The dinner was served on tables erected in the grove and was one of the grandest spreads that ever caught the eye of a hungry vete ran. The barbecue was finely prepar ed and embraced mutton and pork, and the meats were reinforced by liberal supplies of the usual pic nic edibles from baskets of careful and thoughtful housewives. In the afternoon speeches were made, and interspersed with music. Rev W. A. Dodge, chaplain of the 23d Georgia, made a ptetty and feeling talk and Rev. C. A. Allday also interested his hearers in ap propriate reference to the try ing days of sixties. Mrs. W. H. Felton entertained the gathering in well timed re marks and wound up with some ' very apt allurcns to industrial matters that met with hearty aniens. At the business meeting of the 23d Georgia survivors association j Capt. J. J. Boston, of Resaca, was | elected president, and J. C. Wal druD, of this city, secretary fur the next year. Rome was chosen as the place for the next annual reunion. Capt. T. J. Lye 11 was master of ceremonies and performed his du ties in a praiseworthy manner. FUTURE OFTEXAS OIL- Its Use as Fuel and Its Availability Are New Factors in Commerce, Washington, August 12. —Dan- iel R. Morgan, who lives in Beau mont, Tex., the heart of the Texas oil district, is here, and said today: •‘The oil district of southeast Texas is less than twenty mil.s from deep water, and the probabili ties are several competiting pipe lines will be laid before the end of the year It is not generally knowm outside the oil region that the Neches river has a depth of from 25 to 50 feet from Beaumont to its niQiitli, and may be used for foreign shipments of oil. Within two years ocean-going vessels will be loading at docks within the city limits. Ii Pennsylvania you are possibly aware, the oil nas to be pumped long distances. There is only one oil field now comparable to the Texas region. Wherever oil is used tor fuel the ratio is about three and one-half barrels of oil to a ton of coal. This would, reckoning c 11 at 50 cents a barrel, equal pi. 75 fora ton of coal. It costs about one dollar a ton to transport coal. Reckoned on the basis of its ratio to coal, Beaumont oil can be sent to any point in the gulf states, Cuba, Mexico an 4 South America for $2.75 a ton. In Houston, wdiich is possibly the greatest railroad center south of New Orleans, coal costs between four and five dollars a ton. This is only one illustration of the won derful possibilities of our oil proper ties.” THEIR TWO LITTLE SONS- Death Twice Invades the Home of Mr. and Ms Brad o JR c utly. Sunday night the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Bradford was sad dened the second time. Their baby son, little Roy, who has t>een suffer ing and lingering for near three months, died. He departed to the glory world to meet his little broth er, Ernest, who passed away on May the 30th. I have 110 doubt the little angels have met and are rejoicing in heaven today, while their dear father, mother and little brother, Willie, are left to mourn. Little Roy was two and a half years of age, a bright and sweet child and was very dear to his home, but Jesus givetli and t He taketli away. Rev. Geo W. Yar brough conducted the funeral ser vice at the home, which were very appropriate and touching. The remains ; laid to rest in old Oak Hill cemetery. The family is deeply sympathized with in their sad bereavement. Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding O’er the spoils that death has won, We won <1 Ht 1 his solemn meeting Calmly say thy will be done.

It is as perfect a representation of a small snake in coil as possible, even to the thrust-forward neck with perfect head, eyes and mouth. It was found by a negro near Me chanicsville, having been dug from the ground. One might think it a root from a bush grown in the shape seen, but it is said to have been found away from any growth. It is a sufficient curiosity for a museum to puze. Mr. and Mrs. C. N.
