23 YEARS AGO TODAY
February 2, 1899.
The Ladies Auxiliary of the Y. M.
C. A. held a meeting Friday after¬
noon and decided to entertain socially
every Friday evening in the reception
rooms of the Y. M. C. A, Several com¬
mittees were appointed and the ladies
seem very enthusiastic and hope to
make these social gatherings so pleas¬
ant that they will prove a permanent
attraction to the members and friends
of this association.
H. C. Allen, former Griffinite, and
now the proprietor of a large hotel
in Quitman, returned home yesterday
after a visit to relatives in this
neighborhood.
While you are abusing the weather,
it might be well to reflect that the
sun is so hot in Australia that it is
burning up crops and buildings and
causing general prostration of the in
habitatnts. As one of our hifalutin’
contemporaries would say, “Men and
brethren, think on these things. »
On Sunday last, the 30th of Janu¬
ary, Mr. Homer Neal of Albany, Ga.,
was married to Miss Minnie Steel at
the residence of the bride’s father in
Cabins district. Rev. J. A. Drewry
performed the ceremony and after¬
wards the bride and groom were en
tertained by Mrs. M. JS. Wilson at
her beautiful home near Griffin.
There was only a small crowd at
the court house yesterday when Sher¬
iff Morris-cleared the icicles from his
throat and began to call out his
monthly sales, and those who were
there were mostly lawyers. Very lit¬
tle property was advertised for sale,
but that sold brought fairly good
price. , a
Nancy Callaway, an old colored
woman, was arrested yesterday on a
charge of running a gaming house.
Shewas given a hearing before Judge
WTTI. Beck, but the evidence against
her was not sufficient to convict and
she was released.
County Commissioners Tidwell and
Patrick have been in session for the
last two days and will sit aga n today,
looking after the various affairs of
the office. They agreed yesterday to
adopt the recommendations of the
grand jury relatives to working the
streets of Griffin and will sign a con
tract to that effect as soon as it is
drawn up in the proper form.
The directors of the two Griffin cot
ton factories met yesterday after
noon in joint session and passed res
olutions of respect to the memory of
Hon. J. D. Boyd, a large stockholder
and director. After the meeting ad¬
journed, a meeting of the directors of
the Kincaid Mills was held at which
an unanimous expression was had in
favor of doubling the capacity of that
mill. A meeting of the stockholders
will be called at an early date to de¬
cide the matter.
The Olympic will be opened Wed¬
nesday night of next week for the
first time this year to present the
play, “The Private Secretary.” This
splendid play was presented here last
year, but the weather prevented the
company from reveining as good a
house as it deserved. Manager Pat¬
terson says he has several other at¬
tractions on the string, so the latter
part of the season may be more bril¬
liant than the beginning.

WILL RECEIVE CALL
BAPTIST CHURCH OF HILL CITY
MAKE STRONG EFFORT TO SE¬
CURE WELL KNOWN GRIFFIN
PREACHER AS PASTOR TO SUC¬
CEED DOCTOR MONCRIEF.
Dr. J. E. Sammons, the beloved
pastor of the First Baptist church of
Griffin, will soon receive a call to be¬
come pastor of the «First Baptist
church in Rome. The News and Sun
learns that a strong effort will be
made by Rome Baptists to secure Dr.
Sammons as successor to Dr. A. J.
Moncrief, of that city, who has re¬
signed to become pastor of the First
Baptist church in Pensacola, Fla.
The Rome Tribune of Monday car¬
ried the following story in reference
to Dr. Sammons:
While the matter has not been
made public and while there is no
definite information available, .it. is
nevertheless understood by members
pf the church here that a strong ef¬
fort is being made to have Dr. J'. E.
Salmons, now pastor of the First
B ist church of Griffin, to succeed
Rev. A. J. Moncrief who held his
farewell services at/ the local church
Sunday evening and who will go to
Pensacola, Florida, in a few days to
assume his duties as pastor of the
First Baptist church there. tt
Dr. Sammons began his eleventh
year’s service as pastor of the First
Baptist church fn Griffin, last Sunday
and is recognized as one of the ablest
and most popular preachers in the
State. The News and Sun did not have
opportunity to get in communication
with him«.tedayr'but --i%'-is—sincerely
hoped he will not consider or accept
any call elsewhere. During his pastor¬
ate here he has had several flattering
offers, but has always declined them#
