er Near Lmwood.
Adairsville Banner,!
Tuesday afternoon Mr. Jim

foot caught between the ties and
car and the leg was broken.
Mr John McGuire immediately
sent for a surgeon and the leg was
let as soon as possible.
Mr. Hood is a son of Alvin

WHEN VOL HE AWAY.
TO MBS. LULA TUMLIN LYON
(Written by ;.n apprerialive nittmber of her
family, during a recent visit to Aylmer.)
When you're absent my beloved.
"i lie canticles are eh- nged ro var.ibands,”
Each music s strain is broken with ‘ lost chords'
Each song-bird’s throat is hushed to stillness
And life s once triumphant hymn of thankful
praise
In minor tones of slurp despair.sinki hopeless,
When you're aw ly, dear heart,
When you re away.
When you're absent, dear, even Heaven's brow
Is furrowed oer with black and ominous
clouds.
The stars creep stealthily across the sombre
vault.
Prophetic with forebodings of distrust
With cold • n l unnnpsssigned gaze they stare
W hen y.-u re w,.y, dear-heart,
When you're away.
When you're i-way the very flowers droop *
As lost to all that g ve them life t nd light.
The poppies hi nd their heafy hea sin sleep,
Hod's lilies, pallid, Wither on the stalk.
The aueenly.rose her blushing petals shed.
And only 1- ve s true violets speak hope
When you’re aw v. dear heart.
When you're away.
When you're away the great sun hides his face
Ami throws o'er all the earth a funer.il pall.
His golden glory quenched,naught <•:.n av if]
Save nature's tears that in dull raindrops/all.
My soul’s bright dreams drop earthward, and
For love, in vain we cry, my heart and 1,
When you're away, dear heart,
When you re away.
But when you come again, dear one,
God s sweet forgetmenots. the stars.
Wake all the spheres to music and to *w*ace.
The snn s rays kiss th- drooping flowers to life
And loves flaming tire quenchless, omnipo
tent,
Fills mind and heart and soul and life fuH to
completion,
When you are here, our own,
When you are here.

CARTERSVILLE, GA.. THURSDAY. MARCH 27, 1902.
REV- SAM JONES AT NASHVILLE-
Packed Tabernacle at His First
Service,
Nashville Banner.
Rev. Sam Jones made anew re
cord in drawing crowds to tbe Tab
ernacle last night, lacing as he did
the great auditorium's limit in ca
pacity—B,ooo people some said,
and certainly not less than 7.000,
while all who found their way to
the building during the last three
quarters of an hour before the ser
vices began, were unable to get in j
the door, and. they numbered up
into the thousands. The speaker
was the same plain-spoken man
that Nashville has known so long,
and while he did not get deep into
local matters last night he gave in
dication of a knowledge of the
fight being made here and will
doubtless be heard from dning
the week.
The platform was filled with a
splendid chorus and the singing
exercises which began at 7:15
o’clock lasted until Mr. Jones ar
rived, when the services were open
ed with prayer by Rev. John Mat
thews, who invoked the divine
blessing on the meeting that it
might result in great good to the
city. Mr Seagle then sang “Where
is My Wandering Boy Tonight?”
Mr. Jones announced that he
was physically unable to preach
twice a day in the Tabernacle, so
beginning today he would preach
daily at 11 o’clock a. tn., at Me
Kendree church £nd at the Taber
nacle tonight.

Mr Wollord, age it for the W. &
A. R. R., and several contractors
<re figuring on making a b and for
the building, which will be let to

The plans contemplate an addi
' tfou to the north end of the present
building, which will extend to Mar
j ket street and contain the waiting
; rooms and toilets. The present
I waiting rooms will be converted
1 into offices, and the baggage and
! express rooms will occupy the
space now used for offices, with
1 entrances from the square.
The south end of the depot will
| be extended to Main street, thus
' enlarging the freight room, and
I the platform next to th; railroad
will be cut off four feet, and tbe
side track moved four feet toward
tne building, making the space be
tween the main line and the side
track four feet, wider than at pres
ent. '
The present building will be
overhauled and remodeled, and
when completed the depot will

Would Fat a Boy-
Washington Dost.
Down in Georgia, in Represent
ative Fleming’s district, is the
Chattahoochee river. In the olden
davs a steamer used to run cmvn
the river into the Appalachicola
and thence to the Gulf, meeting of
course, any number of alligators
en route One day some ladies
were standing by the pilot-house
on the upper deck watching the
big reptiles.
“Captain,” ask and one of the
ladies, ‘is the ail gator amphib
ious?”
The captain scratched his head
for a moment in thoughtfulness.
“Yes’m, yes’m,” he finally replied:
“I think he is. He’ll eat a boy in
a minute.”
