W IMiSX ______ ■ * THB NEWS, Established 1871 GRIFFIN GIVES A WELCOME * TO NEW METHODIST PASTOR After Hearing an Eloquent and Effective Sermon » From Him on Sunday Night, Bev. J. S. Jenkins preached hist farewell sermot at the First Metho dist church Sunday morning to a large congregation and Dr. C. O. Jones preached his introductory ser mon Sunday night to a still larger congregation, the other churches calling in their night services and it y being a union service to give wel come to the new pastor. That Mr. Jenkins severed the rela tions that had existed for three years . between hitnself and his flock with great regret was shown by the sac that in the prayer previous to his sermon he broke down and wept, . being obliged to stop long enough to dry the tears of grief from his eyes, and several in the congregation also shed tears. In the sermon Mr. Jen kins referred to the work of the re centconference and prepared the way for the incoming pastor. At the evening service Presiding Elder J. H. Eakes introduced Dr. Jones to his congregation in a few’ well chosen and appropriate remarks in which he said he was a genial, cul tured, Christian gentleman, who had come here to do good. Dr. Jones nad a few verses from the 10th chapter of Mathew and preached on the “Special Providence of God.” His sermon was one of the most scholarly and eloquent discour ses ever heard in Griffin and the speaker made a most favorable im pression on his hearers. He is one of the most learned and gifted preach* k ers in the North Georgia conference, an eloquent speaker and a popular pastor, and Griffin is to be congrat ulated on securing him as a citizen. Dr. It. R. Acree, of the First Bap tist church, being absent at Madi son, and Rev. D. F. Hoke, rector of St. George’s church, also not present, Dr. W. A. Murray, pastor "f the First Presbyterian church, on behalf of the other denominations ot the city, extended to Dr. Jones a cordial and hearty welcome, to which Dr. Jones responded in a feeling and ap preciative manner. ' Mr. Jenkins also added a few re marks in which he told of his high personal esteem for Dr. Jones, and commended him to the congregation and the people of Griffin. Dr. Jones is quite an acquisition to Giiffin and the welcome that he re ceived as the pastor of the First Methodist church was one that was genuine and real. He enters upon his work here with the best wishes of the entire citizenry ot Griffin. 12,800,000 BALES OF COTTON is the Estimate of the New Orleans Times>Democrat.

On Vacations. It Is related In Stewart Edward White’s book, “The Mountains,” that once upon a time a man happened to be staying in a hotel room which had originally been part of a suit, but which was then cut off from the oth ers by only ft thin door, through which sounds carried clearly. It was about 11 o'clock when the occupants of that next room came home. The man heard the door open and close. Then the bed shrieked aloud as somebody fell heavily upon it. There breathed across the silPnce a profoundly deep sigh. “Mary.” said a man's voice, “I'm mighty sorry I didn’t join that Asso ciation For. Artificial Vacations.
