New Series -Vol. Ill—No *49 REV- W. A. CLEVELAND. New Pastor of the Presbyterian Church. Soon to Arrive. Rev- W. A, Cleveland, of Mt. Pleasant, Tenn., who has been called to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church of this city, has accepted the call, and is ex pected to arrive here in time to preach his first sermon the first Sunday in June, Mr. Cleveland preached several sermons in the church here and made a fine impiession on all who heard him. He is a young divine of splendid abilities and fine per sonal bearing. The Mt. Pleasant Chronicle makes the following kindly and oomplimentarymention of him: “A congregational meeting was held at the Presbyterian church last Sunuay morning after the reg ular service for the purpose of tak ing action on Rev. W. A. Cleve* vand’s resignation as pastor of that church. With great reluctance and only at the urgent request of Mr. Cleveland d.d the congrega tion agreed to accept the resigna tion. Mr. Cleveland has been pastor of the Mt. Pleasant church for the past three yeais, and it is doubtful if there has been a better preacher or more popular man in charge of the church in years. He has endeared himself in the hearts of not only the members of his congregation, but of those of every denomination and those outside the church in our town. He is an active pastor, an enthusiastic Odd Fellow and Knight of Pythias, and his place in the church, in the lodges, and in our town as a citi zen will be hard to fill. During his three years’ stay the church has been materially increased in membership, the congregation has been drawn closer together, and undoubtedly the congregation is in a much mo'e flourishing condi tion than it has ever been before. A called meeting of the Columbia Presbytery will be held next week to consider dismissing him to a Georgia Presbytery, and he will become pastor of the First Church of Cartersville on the first of June. In the meantime, the officers of the church here are taking steps to secure a pastor to supply the pul pit immediately after Mr. Cleve land leaves.” The following is from the Lewis burg Tribune: ‘‘Rev. W. A. Cleveland, of Mt, Pleasant, a former pastor of the Bethbirei and Union churches, has accepted a call to the church at Cartersville, Ga. He will leave for his new field of labor about June i. Mr. Cleveland is ®ne -of the ablest youug men of his church and his many friends wish him abundant success.’ KINGSTON HIGH SCHOOL "Qlosiner' Exercises of this Institu tion Will Occur Next Week.

Morris, who was de feated for the nomination of judge ship of the Blue Ridge Circuit by judge Geo- F. Gober, gave out the first statement he has made since the recent action of the executive committe, which established the result according to the returns. Mr. Morris, after thanking his friends and stating that he will carry the matter no further, has this to say: “I wish you would say to my iriends over the state that I had Judge Gober beaten by from 1,500 to 2,000 majority when the deter-1 mination was arrived at in Wash ington, D. C., by certain leading politicians and other interests that figure in politics in this state, that it was necessary that I should be defeated. Senator Clay came down about ten aays before the election and proceeded to use his entire influence to compass my defeat. He remained and actively canvassed against me until the election was over. “In addition to this, during the last few days of the campaign, large sums of money were disburs ed on behalf of Judge Gober’s election throughout the circuit. After the primary and pending my contest before the executive com mittee, these same influences that started this movement in Washing ton continued their fight, and but for this I am satisfied that the result would have been different.

The great White Fair at Bradley’s CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY I*4, 1901. MANY Laws PASSED. Congress Talked Little and Did More Actual Work. The amouut of work an 1 talk done by congress at the session just ended is set forth in a report made by Docket Clerk Wakeman to Speaker Cannon, says a Wash ington special to the New York Times. It shows that the session was the shortest in years; that con gress talked less than it has done at any time since the Fifty-nfih congress adjourned, and that more bills were introduced and more law 9 passed than in any first session since the Fifty-first. This session convened 124 days, the next shortest session having been that of the Fifty-sixth con gress, 139 days. In that time 2,945 reports were made, a larger number than for any first session within the period named. The Fifty-seventh congress comes next with 2,750 reports. This session also heads the list in the matter of bills introduced. There were 16,170, the next high est number being 15,960 in the Fifty-seventh congress. The Fifty third congress, however, heads the list of public laws enacted, having passed 307. In private laws this session makes a better showing than in public laws. It enacted 1,896, which breaks the record for the period covered. It is to be observed that the Fifty-third congress, which passed more public laws than any other, passed fewer private laws, footing the list with 134. This was the congress which met in the first part of President Cleveland’s second term, and its record includes the extra session. The disproportion of private to public laws brings up the grand total of laws enacted by the Fifty eighth congress to 2,190, which is the largest number for the period covered. The amount of talk indulged in is indicated by the number of pages in the Congressional Record. The session just ended ranks third. First comes the Fifty-seventh con gress, with 8,414 pages; then the Fifty-sixth, with 7,765, and, third, the Fifty-eighth, with 6,155. Tne least amount of talking was done in President Harrison’s Fifty second congress, which has a rec ord of only 5,040 pages. DELEGATES CHOStN.

Niu-chwaog, May 7. —There is every indication that the Russians have decided to evacute Niu* chwang. Troops have been leav ing here all day long. Forts have been dismantled and all artillery has been placed on board trains. All the local transportation has been commandered by the Russian authorities. There is current here a native rumor that Japanese troops are in Foocbau bay (on the west side of the Liaotung peninsu la, and about sixty miles north of Port Arthur,) but this report lacks confirmation. The fear is held here that it the Russians leave and the Japanese do not at once take possession of Niu-chwang, the brigands who are now across the river near Ying kow, will pillage the place. The foreign residents are prepared to resist the brigands should they come over. The British consul has requested that a gunboat be sent to The Russians probably will destroy the gunboat Sivoutch before ieaving. The vessel is at Niu-chwang. Japanese troops fired on what probably was the last train out of Port Arthur as it passed near Port Adams. They used artillery and small arms and killed or wounded several Chinese. It is reported here that Viceroy Alexieff was slightly wounded prior to his departure from Port Arthur. He barely escaped from there before the Japanese closed the lines of communication. The Russian general staff have moved from Ciao-yang to Mukden. Russians here will not talk of the situation for fear that they may impart some information. They do not consider that their forces here are not sufficient to hold this section of the country. It is proba ble that the Russian civilians at Niu-chwang are leaving hurriedly and many natives are fleeing the city in fear that they will be sub jected to maltreatment at the hands of the brigands. A Startling Test. To save a life, Dt- T. G. Merritt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa- made a .startling test resulting in a won derful cure. He writes, “a patient was attacked with violent hemorr hages, caused by ulceration of the stomach. I had often found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles so I prescribed them. The patient gained from the first, and has not had an attack in 14 months.” Electric Bitters are positively guaranteed for Dyspesia, Indiges tion, Constipation and Kidney troubles. Try them.
