Harris at 10:30 o'clock last night authorized the statement that he will formally call the Georgia legislature to con vene in extraordinary session ‘on ‘Tuesday, March 20, and that this pro clamation will be issued Thursday morning. wEL Today the governor will issue & ditions presented so him as reasons why the special session will be called and his conclusions, and giving the reasons’ which impel him to issue the call and the subject matter to be presented for comsideration of the gession, which will be confined to “bone-dry” legislation .and a special appropriation to cover the deficiency of about $42,000 in the old pension rolls and a further deficiency of about $45,000 to complete the full list, in cluding the newly added names. In preparing the expression of his ‘vlews and reasons the governor re ‘alizes the strong prejudices that exist ‘agalnst extra legislative sessions, but will show the extent of the almost innumerable complaints that have been made of the evils growing out of the recent prohibition enactments in Georgja, as they have come to him from every part of the state and as he expresses it, from every class of citizens, It was the stress of this he shows in his statcment, which real ly is to be but a preface to his pro clamation, that caused him to enter into a careful examination of the sit uation to determine whether or not there should be a special session and to arrive at a conclusion on what remedy should be applied. The gov ernor will show in his statement that it has been represented to him that very great evils are resulting from the shipments into Georgia from liquor by people outside of the state, which are “allowed under our pres ent anti-shipping laws,” and that these shipmefits into Georgia alone ‘have grown so nmumerous that a new business enterprise has been started; that the express agent at every sta tion becoming the agent of the state under the law are being made the vic tims of a‘condition under the law for which the state legislature is re sponsible. It is pointed out by him that the interests of the agents had been enlisted by the fact that a parti of the compensation provided for in the state law goes to the agent as his own commigsion without requiring him to make any accounting to his employer for it, : The governor stréSes in his an nouncement that 80 per cent of the liquor shipped into the state is being distributed among the mnegro pepula tion and that in many instances it has been shown those deliveries are made to people in their homes who are not of full age. He further states that ih many instances the same per son is having shipments of liquor Lively Interest is Being Taken in the Sunday School and the Attend ance is Increasing. The ladies of the Missionary So ciety held their week of prayer for Home Missions rm March sth to 9th meeting in the afternoons as fol lows: Monday with Mrs. John David son, Tuesday with Mrs, W. C.

Chapter four will be studied next Wednesday evening. Let us all read ‘this and bring our Bibles to church with us and follow the pastor as he comments upon the Scripture lesson. In this way you will not only better rivet your atten tion on .the subject but will feel that you are actually taking part in the 'service.” We are glad to note that the attendance at these mid-week | services is increasing but there is still room for great improvement. Lay aside every thing next Wednesday evening and come to prayer meeting. You will not only feel that you have done your duty but will be furnished with new and fresh religious thought to help you along life's way.

TQ: pastor i 8 exceedingly anxious that each member shall procure and use regularly these envelopes; he. is specially desirous that the younger members shall begin now to develop this characteristic grace of Christ like benevolence and christian wor ship. The regular use of these en velopes will undoubtedly lead to suc cess while the careless orjindifferent use of them is sure to lead to failure, therefore let us make our contribu tion every Sunday morning as God has prospered us and we shall then have abundant funds for every pur pose. A lively interést is being taken in the Sunday School and the attendance is increasing. We would still like to see, however, a larger number of our older church members present from week to week' The Bible class will conduct the opening exercises Sunday morning. The programs rendered by the children of Mrs. Robinson’s class and Mrs. W. C.

El Paso, Texas, March 6.—Plans to send the entire Georgia brigade of infantry home across country in' mo tor trucks are being worked out in the office quartermaster department and if all arrangements can be com pleted the -brigade will leave El Paso some time in the next few weeks. The trip is to be made by way cos New Orleans. It is estimated that it will require 45 days. No definite an nouncement has been made that the plan will be carried out although it is admitted that the details are being discussed and that it is probable that this means of transportation will be the one used to convey the Georgia troops to their home station. To Use 300 Trucks. Approximately 300 motor trucks of the type that came into service at the time of the punitive expedition and many of the same trucks that were used in Mexico will be needed to make the trip. Heavy baggage and equipment together with horses will be sent by freight. Enroute the men will use pup tents and will be fed from kitchen trucks. Should the plans be approved this trip will be the ?;ngest ever taken by military forces of considerable size in motor trucks. According to the ten tative plans five days of each week will be spent en route and the re maining two days will be used for re pairs to trucks and to allow the men to rest. \ : Stops will be made in every city of interest and parades will be held in principal cities. Shortage of railroad equipment is said to be one of the chief arguments in favor of the plans.

MOSS Aged Lady Died at Home Near This City on Friday, February the Twenty-Eighth, 1917, (Special to The News)—At dawn on Wednesday morning as the sun was palmll}g the eastern skies with red and gcid the Death Angel came and touched with his icy fingers the brow of Mrs. Lucy Moss and bore her spirit to a home beyond the skies. Her death was a great shock to her many relatives and friends. All that loving hands could do was done for her during her illness to stay the hand of the grim reaper but God saw best to take her to her home of rest. And on the 28th day of Feb ruary, 1917, she left this world of storms and sorrow to dwell with her Master forevermore. Like the beau tiful flowers that covered her casket this noble life has been withered by the ruthless hand of death. If a mes sage could be conveyed from the land to which she has gone she would say to her loved ones: O stay thy flowing tears, Thy weeping is in vain; I am not lost, for we in Heaven, Shall one day meet again. “Aunt Lucy,” as she was called, was loved by all who knew her, both old and young. All the echildrea loved “Grannie,” as they called her. Oh how Wwe shall miss her bright smiles. Her chair is empty now, a place is vacant which never can be filled. Sobbing loved ones earnestly pleaded for relief at the hands of the great Heavenly physician but it avail ed nothing. Oh how sad when I re call the many times I have written %the last tribute of love to the memory of departed friends, and I think So many voices have been hushed; So many songs have ceased for aye; 'SO’ many hands I loved to touch Are folded now over hearts of clay. . Death to us is appalling, its mys stand why it lays its cold hand on the 'brightest jewels, the most useful and most needed. The 'writer had the pleasure of knowing “Aunt Lucy” for a number of years. She was always jolly and kind and had a glad smile for every one whom she met, Mrs. Moss will be greatly mlnsed.by a large circle of relatives and friends. She was 84 years old af®the time of her death. She is survived by one son, Mr. J. W. Moss, of Bethel; and eight grand children, also twelve great-grand children. r After the grave was closed and ‘flowers placed the loved ones left her with a sad farewell. May they be comforted to know that God does all things well and angels will watch her peaceful slumbers and one day they will meet her in that home where Jesus dwells. One who loved hers A subscriber, while renewing for The Monticello News a few days ago, remarked that he saw our s. o. s, call. It pays to advertise.
