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.
No matter what a man’s size is, or
what his taste may be, we can
fit him in suits.

subscribed.
, At the night meeting Mr. and Mrs.
j Butler sang a beautiful duet. Mr.
‘ Butler also sang “The Ninety and
f Nine," in a manner that will not lie
1 foigotten. Mr. Phillips preached a
. fine sermon. Inspired by the great
| gathering surpased himself in earnest
en.eal and power. At the close, in
graceful language expressed the ap-
pteolation felt by Mr. and Mrs. But
ler. Miss Herndon qnd himself, the
kindness and hospitality shown them
in Waycross. Told of his pleasure
in the mighty advance being made by
this church, and prognosticated for
it a future of great usefulness. He
then Invited all who had joined the
church during the meeting to come
to tho front and have a hand shaking.
It was an inspiring sight, (seventy-
six having joined the church), as
they moved to the front and formed
a great circle across the church ana
the con congregation slowly moved
around and bid thorn all a hearty
welcome.
The magnificent singing of Mr. and
Mrs: Butler and the warmhearted,
whole-souled Christian earnestness of
ti r . Phillips have drawn them very
close to the church and its member-

an inspiration to the church and a

cling, Mr. and between Champ Clark and a majori
ty, and Fitzgerald and a minority of
Democrats in regard to rules. Sev
eral times since have those “23” been
vindicated hut never more signally
tr.nn when the House organized the
other day.
The Associated Press did not cover
this question as fully as it might
have done at the time, but tho Con
cessional Record i sat hand, giving
the particulars. It is seen that the
Mutton offered by Mr. Mann, tho
Republican leader, as a substitute for
tho Democratic Codo of Rules Is the
Iddentical Clark resolution, word for
word, that waB offered March 19,
1909, and against which the twenty-
three voted. On Tuesday, April 4th,
tho entire Democratic membership
joined the twenty-three In defeating
(be resolution.
Another interesting fact Is that
what are known as the Fitzgerald
amendments that the twenty-threo
were criticised for, because they sup-«
ported them, were incorporated bod
ily into the Code of Democratic Rul
es. and thus their efficiency and ne
cessity has been approved by the en
tire party. These two facts are of
interest.
