It's the natty little “Fixings” that
lend grace and elegance to the
summer man's apparel, nobby
shirts, ties, pretty hosiery, with a
dainty line of underwear.
To look and feel “summery” is an easy matter
to a man who trades here.

ninth inning the score stood 4 to 3 in
favor of the “Bookworms.“
There will bo another good game

EDWARDS SENDS
COPIESOFADDRESS
Congressman Charles G. Ed wards,
of Washington, has sent a number of
copies of the address he recently
made in drainage to George W. Been,
president of the Georgia Drainage
Congress and to Secretary C F. An
drews. The copies of this address
will be distributed to parties Inter
ested in drainage. The address tells
In detail what can be accomplished It
a state drainage law is passed in
all states not now having drainage
laws, and shows what a drainage law
would do for undeveloped lands In
Georgia.
The morning meeting was jyell at
tended and Dr. Phillips delivered a
etiong, earnest appeal for a consecrat
ed Christian membership.. ' But it
was at tho afternoon meeting for men
that the wot derful power of God be
came so greatly manifest. The oc
casion almost baffles description. Tho
hurch was crofdod with men and Dr.
Phillips Uml just delivered a ; emend-
otisiy strong address on the life of
• 3nmpso i using Incidents In the car
eer of ‘he strong man to emphasise
great practical truths. In the clos
ing part of his great talk, carried
away by his tremendous earnestness
he unconsciously left the platform nnd
moved dowr the aisle amongst the
great congregation of men and as ho asks the Christian people to help him.
It means this, that if those hundred
of men live up to what they expressed
a social revolution will take place in
Waycross nnd a religious revival such
us she has never seen before. It is a
call definite nnd clear cut to every
Christian man in Waycross, whether
he be Baptist. MethodiBt, Presbyter
ians, United Brethren and whatever
other church ho belongs, to sink pre
judice and line up behind this great
preacher of the gospel of Christ and
assist in completing a revival that
111 shake the entire city.
The night meeting was a glorious^
one. The church was crowded every
available scat and bench occupied.
Dr. Phillips spoke on the subject "Pre
pare to meet They God” In earnest
forceful language he depicted the grav
ity of delay nnd tho Inevitable day
that must come. At the close a
great number came forward and Join-
led the Baptist anil Methodist cheren.
Tho sweet singing of Mr. nnd Mrs.
Butler added greatly to tho power of
the meetings. At tho afternoon’s
men’s meeting Mrs. Butler sang most
beautifully “The Holy City and by re-
quest will repeat it again on Tues
day night.
Dr. Phillips announced that these
special meetings will continue one
week more. His slogan is ft thousand
Souls for Christ In Waycross, and he
