The morn ing service was conducted by the children of the Juvenile society, , and showed remarkable interest on their part m the work before them. The evening exercises were held by members of the Young People’s i Missionary Union, being the grown-up set., consisting of ; songs a.id readings. The sketches j read included brief descriptions |of the ships used in carrying the gospel, from the ancient bark craft to the modern power cutter, each with a peculiar history and attachments. This was very in teresting, and showed the remark able progress made m I he work in foreign lands. From the very be ginning of the work vessels of 'some kind have been the modes !of transportation for the mes j sengers of the Cross, and there is {always something of interest in * their makeup. At this meeting Miss Minnie Abt, one of the delegates to the recent missionary conference in Hagon, read ail interesting re port. It is purposed to hold similar exercises on each fourth Sunday, the regular meeting being held every Tuesday night, except, that following Sunday exercises. Mrs. H. C. Brewton has devoted considerable tune to the work of organizing the young folks for labor, and their work is being rapidiy increased and new in terest manifested. Mrs. Brewton gave a very earnest appeal for the continuance of the work in [ hand, and it is sure the young j people appreciate her aid and i ad vise. Atlanta Beer A Nuisance. CITIZENS OF GATE CITY BEGIN TO KICK ON ITS PRESENCE. ! Atlanta, Ga , Nov. 30 Atla’nta is about to get an overdose of the ' near-beer business, and so strong is the feel ing among some of the i citizens that they threaten a general campaign to elect a coun cil that will wipe them out of ex istence. Citizens of Inman Park and {streets running into Edge wood I avenue are particularly sore on ! the numerous beer establishments alonv that thoroughfare, and issue an ultimatum to the authorities that unless all such places are closed at once it is to be war to the knife on the near-beer busi ness in the city of Atlanta. There are many negro saloons i and pool rooms along this street, ' und some of the £ross streets jiu-t 'off from it. Inman Park is one of Atlanta’s exclusive residence sec* ■ tions, and the bridge across the Southern tracks form a dividing line between a rather tough sec tion and the exclusive residence section. In these saloons and pool rooms gangs of loafing ne groes gather and rough houses are not infrequent. As this street forms practically the only approach to Inman Park the citizens decided that the nui sance had to be abated. So they joined forces and went out after | the police commission and the | council. It is understood today that an agreement, has been reach ed to wipe the saloons and pool rooms off of Edgewood and side streets in that vicinity. This will probably end the general war-fare on the saloons as | the Inman Park people have what ( they want. MT. VERNON. GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DEC. 1. 1910. ! NEW BUSINESS I AT GLENWOOD, Along the line of the Seaboard there are many towns of the bustling style, and Montgomery county has her share of them for the territory included in her j borders.

Avery, who is well and favor j ably known to our people as a j young man of splendid qualities i and lofty ambition. Mr. Avery is a former student of the Union ■ Baptist Institute, where he is held in high esteem by the facul- I ty and student body. He recently embarked in bus iness, and now has a most com plete line- a general mercantile store—filled with new and sub stmtial goods of the better class. His line includes a fine assort ment of dry goods, dress goods and furnishings, hardware and farm supplies, together with 1 groceries, notions, etc. While : Mr. Avery has opened up under 1 flattering circumstances, he is still anxious to widen out, and to this end he invites the public |to call on him in his new place.

A LADY SUES FOR HER HUSBAND’S DEATH. Dublin, Ga., Nov. 29. - Mrs. {Alice Prior, whose husband. Rob ert J. Prior, was recently killed by a Central railroad passenger train, has entered suit in Lau ; rens ruperior court for the sum {of $35,000. At is alleged that Prior was ; walking along the track of the , Wrightsville and Tennille road, used by the Central from Brew ton to Dublin, and, being siezed with cramp, was forced to sit on the end of a crosstie and was knocked off by the engine of the incoming night train. 11 is alleged that this use of the foot path along the railroad track was used with the know ledge and consent of the railroad and that the engineer was neg ligent in that he failed to antici pate that a pedestrian was using t lie footpath. It is asserted that the train was running at a rate of speed of fifty miles per hour. It is alleged that Prior was making $1,500 per year farming and working in the winter for a Dublin .warehouse, and that he had an expectancy of thirty-one years. Ordinarily his life had therefore a value of a little more than $16,000, but, being thrifty and energetic, it is alleged that the value of his life was $35,000! Prior was struck about 8:00 on the night of October 22. He was picked u| > and brought to Dublin, dying early the next, morning. Judge K. J. Hawkins filled the suit, which will come up for a hearing at the January term of Laurens superior court. . To Close Out Entire Stock. AILEY MERCANTILE COMPANY HAS ON SPECIAL SALE, Between now and the first day of January, a little less than a month, the Ailey Mercantile Co. is offering its large stock to the public at closing out prices. Every one ■ knows what that, means. It does not mean that they are giving the goods away, but that you can get them almost at your own figures while they last. This is a new stock, and of the standard make-up, including a magnificent line of dry goods, clothing, shoes and furnishings, hardware, buggies and wagons, farm-supplies and implements of the better makes and brands. While this has been a very suc cessful business, it will be dis continued after the first of the year. They expect to sell en tirely out by that time. This special sale, as advertised in this issue, affords an oppor tunity of getting supplies at very low figures while the goods last. They invite the public to call and examine the goods at once, and it is safe to say that now is the opportunity of buying from this stock. They do not propose to hold it any longer than the first, on account of other busi ness changes. This business is conducted in the A. A. Peterson old stand, and is managed by competent and courteous men, whose desire is io give the pub lic the full .benefit of the change. They will make it interesting to buyers for the next three weeks. Right now is the time to plant fall oats. If you want a good yield, better use Armour’s Ferti lizers. They bring results in any crop. If you want the best, write Ghas. H. Smith, agent, at Mcßae, Ga. DAVIS-MOSELEY.

Atlanta, Ga., Nov 29 —Georgia j paid her pensioners in round figuroe last, year s9ll d()0. This I year the amount will be fully a , million, and it is doubtful if the j appropriation will cover the com plete I ist of anpl leant s. Last Hummer the mnv pension act was passed, it provided pen sions for widows of veterans, mar | ried prior to 1870, and all veterans in the servicewit.il less property than fifteen hundred dollars. For th.s special net, the hiiiii of S2OO 000 was appropriated. Pension (Joinmissioner Lindsay is now busily engaged in prepar ing his lists for oension payments to lie made the latter part of ! January and early in February, , the exact dates lint having been announced. lie has received euotigli appli cations under the new act to more 'than absorb the $200,000 appro priated,lor the purpose, each pen sioner receiving S6O per annum. It. places him in a quandary, be- I cause he is not sure as to the wisest action regarding payments. If those first filed receive nothing 'until another appropriation is j made, and many miglt t die in the meantime. If the total appro priation is prorated among all, this would h ave it. up to the legis lature in the coming summer to make up the (h-licit, and would out down the amount each re ceived consider,! lily Commissioner Lindsay is wor ried over I In: best course to pursue : under the cii(urnstanoes, but will wait, and be guided bv . develop ments. It is expected that the number of pensioners .under the old law will show falling -IT, as there have been many deaths in the ranks in the past year. Slate School Commissioner Brittain is also preparing to make out Ins apportionment sheet for the counties for the coining year. The 191 I school fund is $2 -500,000 Howard for Bov. s My sou, Willie Chinn, between twelve and thirteen years of age, has left my home without parent* a! consent, and I will pay sn. reward to any one who will advise me as to Ins whereabout or de tain him until 1 can get possession of him. He is a colored boy of dark color, and when last seen was wearing hickory stripe shirt, black knee pants and cap. Spencer Chinn, Alamo, Ga. Voters Must Settle Matter. THE ELECTION OF A U. S. SENATOR SHOULD BE BY VOTE. Regarding the status of the ap pointment of Mr. Terrell to lili | the unexpired term of the late Senator Clay, and the election of h regular man next year, the Dublin Courier-Dispatch makes the timely statement on the situation. It will he hard to ! fool the people in this matter, as the sentiment in favor of direct election by the people, at the proper tune, is rapidly growing: j “Wo have no .possible choice be tween the candidates who have an : nounced for the office of senator to succeed the late Hon. A. S. Clay, preferring another man to either of those announced. We have no desire and no present intention at least of taking any partisan stand as between the three. Personally we do not care by what method a senator is named to fill the vacan- I cy, hut we do not see how the exe cutive committee in authority .can fail to call a primary so that the voters of the state can make their own selection. “As wo understand it, Georgia was tin* first, state in the union to aubin it the selection of a senator to i the white voters ol the state. For i the past ten years the voters have on ined the senator and the genera 1 assembly has ratified that choice. | Tile people of the state will be I satisfied with nothing less now that there is a vacancy to fill. “We are opposed to ho many elections, tint, twice the people of the state have gone on record in the partv platform for the elec t mu of all of t he otlicers by direct vote, and it is our judgment that tin* democratic executive com mittee of the state will be remiss in 1 1 s duties and obligations if it does not allow the people of the | state an opportunity to select Mr. Clay’s successor. “As we have stated, we care I nothing about the matter one way or another, but the people do and 1 the people have n right to have their wishes respected.” JUDGE MERRILL HURT.
