Carrollton To Have A Chorus
We are pleased to make note
this week ot the begining
of a chorus composed of the sing
ers and musicians ol the city.
A chorus is not only helpful
and unlitting to the members,
but is source ot constant
pleasure, and the formation of
this body is one more link in the
onward course of advancement
in the history of Carrollton.
The first meeting was called
Tuesday evening of last week,
by Prof. C. R. Mubins, in the
assembly hall of the Halcyon
Club, when about twenty five of
our singers responded. At the lat-
er meeting nearly fifty voices
were present. The membership
number is not limited and all
who may will be welcomed. It
you have not already Hone so
communciate with Prof. Mullins
at once .
The first appearence of the
Carrollton Chorus will be at the
Sunday School Service at the
Chautauqua, and in advance we
assure the hearty appreciation ot
the audience who will greet
them.
Lets all pull together aud
have a Chorus that will make
Atlanta sit up and take notice.
Show them that they are not the
only city that can have a magni
ficent organization ol this char
acter. and under the assistance
of Ross Mullins we have the
assurance of success, all honor
to him.
Hurrah for the Hulett
respondent. Come again.

The First Baptist Church Pipe
Organ.
Another addition of no little
importance to already advanced
Musical Carrollton, is the magni
ficent Estey Church Organ now
being installed at the First
Baptist Church,
Containing eight hundred and
seventysone pipes, controlled by
thirty-two stops and mechanical
accessors, the instrument iB capa-
of producing the softest harp'
like tones, wavering in the dis
tance, the gradually breaking
into one effect otter another till
the entire orgaa being brought
into play a grand, worshipful,
mellow, deep tone being made
possible by the mammoth 16 foot
Bourdon pipes, ninety in number
running through the entire organ
manuals and pedals.
The smallest pipe is hardly as
large as a pencil,yet can distinct
ly be heard in the remotest parts
of the Sunday School room.
The organ is sixteen feet high
nine feet deep and fourteen feet
wide, the double manual or
keyboard and the bank of foot
pedalsjl ext-nding out some
three feet. The bellows is led
with a steady five pound pressure
by a large duplex water moter
cere " requiring a two inch connection.
The building specificmions call
tor all the late patented accessor,
ies among which ar-* automate
combination pedals. [Adjustable]
the pneumatic action thiought
out the entire organ with all
couplres, a conclave radiating
penal keyboard and Haskill’s
patent stop action which feature
makesquick combination change
possible by merely touching
a key or keys.
The cabinet weak is very
artistic exactly the same finished
as the rest ot tne church furniture
and being made in harmony
with the church architecture,
the visible pipe finished in gold,
altogether making a | handsome
appearesce.
The addition of this completes
the chirch which is one ot the
handsome in the state and we
take pleasure in congratulating
the membership. We are in
debted to the Organist, Geo. L.
Hamrick tor this description of
the instriment.
Samples—Where is Reeves?
Editor Free Press ;
The absence of Bro. Reeves’
letter in last week’s edition of
the Press waB the source of no
little disappointment to his an
xious friend and contemporary,
yet I wish to [again add a lew
words anent the subject of all-
day singing festivals.
In the first place I feel that
my opponent, Mr. Reeves, is
due the readers of the Press an
humb’e apology, as well* as
myself, for neglecting his side
of the [discussion, since he api
peared to be so eager for a dis
cussion. Now, if you have,a
“legal excuse,” Bro. Reeves,
suppose you make the same
known and we’ll feel gteatly
obliged.
We are in dead earnest about
this thing, and we hope that you
are. Bro. Reeves, let’s just air
this subject completely and find
out what are the contents. Do
you dread the exposition? Or
is it the stench that makes you
hesitate to uncover the facts?
I must say that I expect no
pleasant sensations in the presen
tation of the deplorable circum
stances save that ot ascertaining
the truth, which we earnestly
hope to do.
Come, now, and “let us reason
together,” Bro. Reeves, that’s
scripture, you know. You say
there will be ‘music in heaven.’
I agree with you there—provid
ed the devil don’t catch us her
cause we’ve disregarded God’s
holy and divine Sabbath by our
Sunday picnics. But, Bro.
Reeves, theie won’t be any
drunken crowds up there to mo
lest the peace and harmony of
that celestial choir. I don’t be
lieve God would tolerate those
things like you who propagate
Sunday all-day carousals.
Brother, its a burning shame
for which there is no excuse.
Until it ceases we cannot hope
to better religious conditions.
The tendency is ever downward
and there is increasing momen
tum with each step in the awful
direction. It takes no prophetic
eye to scan along the line of the
luture and discern the horrible
consequences. God grant that
the terrible catastrophe may be
avoided.:
Let me enumerate a few dan.
ger signals;
1st The all-day singings em
tice our young people away from
our Sabbath Schools and other
means for learning God’s law.
Now let’s see what the result of
this will be. You canuot deny
that this is a fact. You know
that there is nothing so impor
tant as the knowledge ot God
and His holy will. Then ignor
ance is one ot the basest curses
ot mankind.
Singing is alright and I love
good songs—I thank God for
them—but they certainly are
not above the study of God’s
word. “First seek ye the king
dom of heaven and Jail the rest
will be added unto you.”
Ah, Brother, “rather than
off.:nd one of these little ones it
were better that a millstone be
hung about our neck and we
cast into the sea.” .On the other

OPERATION
WasCured by LydiaE.Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound
El wood, Ind.—“ Your remedies have
cured me and I have only taken six
bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound. I
was sick three
months and could
not walk. I suf
fered all the time.
The doctors said I
could not get well
without an opera
tion, for I could
hardly stand the
pains in my sides,
especially my right
one, and down my
right leg. I began
to feel better when 1 had taken only
one bottle of Compound, but kept on
as I was afraid to stop too soon.”—Mrs.
Sadie Mullen, 2728 N. B. St., El-
wood, Ind.
Why will women take chances with
an operation or drag out a sickly,
half-hearted existence, missing three-
fourths of the joy of living, when they
can find health in Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound?
Eor thirty years it has been the
standard remedy for female ills, and
has cured thousands of women who
have been troubled with such ail
ments as displacements, inflammation,
ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregulari
ties, periodic pains, backache, indiges
tion, and nervous prostration.
If you have tlie slightest doubt
that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound will help you,
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass., for advice. Your letter
will be absolutely confidential,
and the advice free.

Maybe you are not aware of
the awful effects produced by a
day’s amusement and tolly at
your Sunday frolics? Then per
haps you think singing is more
important thaa anything Jelse in
the world. No doubt your aims
are sincerely good but we must
exercise judgement enough to
expend our eftorti in that way
that would be for [the good of
our fellow man and the glory of
God. When any work becomes
productive of more harm than
good it is high time to do away
with that, and such is true ot
the so called alhday singing.
“By the fruit we may know
the tree.”
I am not judging falsely when
I strive to depict the results of
all day singings. They show
for themselves, and everywhere
they are to be seen if only we
will look.
Brother Reeves, I hope this
will not hurt any honest purpose
of yours but will serve to arouse
people to a sense otthe dangers
that surrounds us as Christians
and as citizens loyal.
In conclusion I beg to have
your honest consideration of
