At the Sunday afternoon meet
ing for men at the City Y. M. C.
A. a novel departure will be

Tho cold drinks will be served
each Sunday for a period of eight
weeks. The address will be
made by Rev. W. II. Scruggs, of

one that every man in Waycross
should hear.
Mrs. B. G. Parks will sing, and
there will be other special music

vice unusually enjoyable.
The lemonade will be served
from large coolers on the veran
da.

day service, and hereafter two
members of the board will each
Sunday have charge of tho after
noon meeting for men. It is pro
posed to hove every minister in
the city pnrticipatc-in these meet
ings.
"All for the Glory of God,’
says Secretary Norvcll when talk
ing to a representative of the
Journal relative to Sunday meet
ings. "There is nothing wrong
about taking a cool drink on Sun
day, but there is good in it if
through it souls can be led to
Christ. The Young Men’s Chris
tian Association is especially for
boys and men who do not go to
church,” said Mr. Norvell, "and
if by making thinga pleasant for
them at the Y. M. C. A. building
we can induce them to frequent
the Association on Sundays I feel
that this is what we should do.

Atlanta, Ga., April 10.—The
lowest temperature during last
night was 34. A moderate frost
is reported. It is not bolioved
the cold snap was sufficient to
cause much if any damage to the
fruit crop.
Today’s forecast is warmer,
and it is felt that the danger of
further cold weather has passed.
Reports from North Georgia
and many points in middle Geor
gia tell of damage to early veg
etables but most of these reports
are exaggerated, as weather ob
servers say the cold spell has been
much more moderate through the
state than was expected.

the meeting next Tucsdny will not
fill the vacancy caused by the res

Crook. It is probable that Engi

and compensation for suelr ser
vices as he is called upon to ren

Practically all of the work for
which an engineer was mostly
needed has been accomplished.

The other vacancy which will
