SCHOOL MTRACTS
INTEREST IK TENN.
The First Methodist Church Sun
day School of Americus led the entire
state in its increase in attendance on
Go-To-Sunday School Day.
The fact has attracted attention in
other states, and a proof of this fact
comes in a letter from Joseph Carthel,
of Nashville, Tenn., general secretary
cl the Tennessee organization of Sun
day Schools.
The letters of Mr. Carthel and T. M.
Furlow, superintendent of the local
Sunday school, are:
“Mr. D. W. Sims, General Secretary
of the Georgia Sunday School Associ
ation, enclose me a sheet showing
the reports from 50 Sunday schools
for Georgia Go-To-Sunday School
Day. In looking over it, I see that the
First M. E. Sunday School of Americus
had 501 in attendance in 1915 and 1077
in 1916. This is a remarkable increase
and 1 am sure that you have some in
teresting facts which can be used to
advantage and to inspire the Sundae
School workers.
“I will appreciate it very much if
you will write me what has come to
your Sunday School from observing
Go-To-Sunday School Day. I want the
facts to use in my speeches in talking
about Go-To-Sunday School Day.
Yours fraternally,
JOSEPH CARTHEL,
General Secretary.”
“I am in receit of yours of April 19th
making inquiry as to the good results
produced by our Georgia Go-to-Sunday
School Day, April 15th, in the First
Methodist Sunday school, Americus,
Ga.
“Your information as to our attend
ance being 1,077 is correct, it being
considerably more than double our at
tendance the year previous. The in
terest manifested in our Sunday
School and the attendance have been
wonderfully improved and we attribute
it very largely to the work that was
done in connection with Go-to-Sunday
School Day.
“The greatest results are in evi
dence in our Adult Department. There
are a gerat many in attendance now
who have not been in Sunday School
for years prior to Go-to-Sunday
School Day. This is especially true
among the business men. Never in the
history of the Americus Sunday Schoc.l
have there been so many grown folks
iu the Sunday school as today. This
i;i a great measure we think is due to
the earnest and enthusiastic word
done in preperation for Go-tto-Sunday
School Day.
“I firmly believe that a day set apart
in which every Sunday school in the
: state is to take part, in a determined,
I yet Christian effort to get people out
I te Sunday school, is a great movement
I .
| for the Sunday school work I believe
that this movement is going to do more
toward increasing interest in Sunday
school work in Georgia than anything
that has been started in recent years.
“With very best wishes to you and
your co-workers in the great work of
advancing the Kingdom of God. I beg
tc remain, Yours very truly,
T. M. FURLOW.”

COL. HUFF IS IN
SERIOyS_COftDITIO«
MACON, Ga.. April 22.—C01. W. A.
Huff, former mayor of Macon, member
of the water commission, public libra
rian and distinguished citizen, is dan
gerously ill at his home in Vineville.
Physicians have practically abandoned
hope of his recovery, and members of
his immediate family have been sum
moned to his bedside. The end is like
ly to come at any time,, according to
the doctors.
This information will be received
with great regret, not only in Macon,
•but throughout the entire state, Col.
Huff has been rapidly failing in health
for the past few’ months, and some
time ago had a serious attack which
fcrced him to take to his bed.
Col. Huff is 84 years of age, and in
this serious illness his age is consider
ably against him in fighting the dis
ease.
Col. Huff is probably the best known
man in the city of Macon and is uni
versally loved and admired. The news
of his critical condition will be learn
ed with great sorrow’.

FLOWERS THAT BLOOM
IN THE SPRINGTIME THAU
ATLANTA, Ga., April 22—One hun
dred thousand Easter lilies were con
sumed in Atlanta in observance of the
official opening of spring, and Atlanta
florists did not fail to “get theirs"
when it came to prices. They were
lucky in escaping hailstorms with
their outdoor plants, and forced and
held back plants in such way as to
time the big blooming exactly.
Roses also brought tremendously
high-toned prices around Easter time,
as well as other flowers appropriate to
I the season.
