There was no squabbling and
the gam*- was pleasant through
out.

and preaching at 11 o’clock by
Rev. C. W. Durden, the pastor.

To Build New Home.
Mrs. ,1. C. Porch will begin the
erection of a beautiful home at
an early date on the vacant lot
adjoining the home of Mr. R. L.

will lie a modern six room cottage
home, with all the latest conven
iences. The plans are now in hands
of contractors and it is expected
that the contract will he let in a
few days. The lot is a very desir
able one and this new home will
add much to that section of the
city.
Dr. Rice’s Lecture.
Dr. Theron H. Rice, the well
known Presbyterian minister of
Atlanta lectured at the Presbyte
rian church last Friday evening as
per the announcement. The dis
tinguished man had for his sub
ject, “The inspiration of the
Scriptures.” The crowd was not a
very large one but it was a lecture
that should have been heard by
every body in the community.
I)r. Rice started out by saying
that it was the most important
subject now engaging the thought
of the people of the world. He
argued, of course, in the affirma
tive and made it an exceedingly
Btrong presentation of the case, j
He used the Bible, with its uplift
ing influence wherever itwas known
and read, the church in all its
branches,Christ and thea pestles,as j
witnesses and in a quiet, clear and j
most convincing way proved thut j
the Bilile was the inspired word
of (rod. The lecture was an ad-j
mirable one and was greatly en
joyed. Dr. Rice returned to
Atlanta Saturday morning.
Mr. T. T. Smiley
Is Home Again.
Mr. T. T. Smiley, the well
known citizen and jeweler, ' ami;
home last week from Arkansas, j
where he has been working four-!
teen hours a day for the past year
or so. And this probably ac
counts for the fact that even his
best friend barely knew him when
he got home. He had fallen off
just about one hundred pounds
and it had made a wonderful
change in his looks. He says he
feels as well as ever, however, and
is glad he is not so fat. Mr.Bmiley
j has about decided to stay at home
and do business here, altough he
has several good positions offend
him elsewhere.
