Easter Services Last Sunday
Easter services at the Central
Methodist Church Sunday were elab
orate and interesting. The musical
program was beautiful and greatly
enjoyed by a large congregation. -
At the First Methodist Church
the Easter services were a special
of the day, to say nothing of the
musical program and a splendid ser
mon by the pastor. Large audiences
attended both services.
The Baptist Church was crowded
at both morning and evening ser
vices, and the program rendered
very fine and in keeping with the
% and the occasion.
CeNnTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
All the services were well attend
ed on Sunday. At the night ser
vice the house was packed.
The music, under the leadership
of Mrs. L. A. Turner, was very fine,
and the cantata, “Easter Angels,”
was listened to by a very apprecia
tive audience.
. Next Sunday is “Decision Day.”
At the Sunday night People’s
Popular services a special musical
program will be rendered, and the
pastor’s subject will be, “In a Fix,”
or, “A Judge's Delema.”

i Linwoed School Exercises
| :
| The third school term of the Lin
{ wood school closed Friday and Fri
}day night with an elaborate pro
‘gram splendidly rendered in the
l presence of as many people as could
|be crowded into -the building, with
fa large overflow on the outside:’
Pref. J. H. Bullard, principal, and
Miss Sallie Bell Crenshaw and Miss
May Shafer, assistant, have taught
| the past six months. It has been
} the largest attendance in the history
iof that school. They had an enroll
iment of 120 pupils, and the term’s
{ work has been highly gratifying to
to the patrons of the school.
The week was devoted to final ex
aminations, and Friday and all eve
'ning to a long and elaborate pro
gram of interesting exercises.
After the morning and afternoon
program a recess was taken until 8
o'clock when the last of the exercises
were rendered.
The large stone building erected
only three years ago is barely ade
quate, and Prof. Bullard believes
that it is possible that the audito
rium will have to be used for a class
room. When the building was erec
ted it was thought to be ample for
a decade or more, but the rapid
growth and progress of the commun
lity will soon necessitate a consider
able annex to the building. |

Business and Duty In Politics

]
: The wet faction in county politics is busy, these lovely
- spring days, trying to consolidate the strength on certain can
' didates for county office. That they will succeed in securing
' a solid line-up no sane man acquainted with local politics doubts
- for a moment.
: The logical and sane thing for the men who stand for de
cency and law enforcement, is to center their strength on the
' dryest, cleanest candidates.
: But will they do it? :
| : T
. We opine not. W
l Local and recent history teaches us thar they will be divi
' ded and will vote against each other at the polls.
: When the church people and law-loving citizens in coun
' ties and cominunities, prohibitionists in a state and Democrats
' in a national campaign quit fighting each other the millennium
' will be headed this way. :
1 The weis will raise the necessary cash and sacrifice the
. necessary candidates. It's business with them.
; It is duty with those who oppose the wet regime,

| An Appreciation
|
1 e
! Those who attended the services
iat the Central Methodist Church
]last Sunday were given a rare
{treat. It seems that music was the
;fealure of the day, and as one who
i was there and appreciated all, I feel
!]ike voiceing the general opinion
ithut our city has never had the
[ privilege o f hearing such classic
§mu.<i('. rendered by a choir before.
l Especially was this true of the even
|ing program. It shows what can be
'done by hard work under the di
rection of a skilled director; and
that such a one was there was ap
parent to all who watched the ease
and fineness with which Mr. Rawly
lconductqd the choir. The church
!is to be congratulated on securing
such a talent,
| The soloists without exeception
;did themselves proud and each one
v&:added to the méfit of all. The cor
net solo by Mr. Mixon iii the mern
ling made “Calvary” more populdr
ithan ever and proved the player
a master of his instrument.
' The “Cantata” was the crowning
feature of the occasion, in which
the elaborate and intricate produc
tion was rendered with perfect
‘technique, the attack o f each part
lcoming in with the beat of the
leader’s baton, the fortes and pianos
'shading into each other with har
monious effect; the blending of the
voices especially noticeable, not one
part stronger than the other, but
‘each voice wodulated to bring tol
perfection the harmony of all. The

Easter at. the |
First M. E. Churchi
Services Easter Sunday at the
First M. E. Church were of a mark
‘ed character, The Sunrise Prayer
‘Meeting was well attended, some
few being present from other
‘churches. It was a very profitablg
hour,
Attendance at Sl!hday Schod!
numbered 168, A special Easter
Missionary bffering resulted in the
ischoul raising ¥60.00 for the support
‘of one native preacher in China,
‘while the support of another was
pledged by three leading members.
One feature noticeable in the suc
cess of this school is that it permits
no_contests and hence has a normal
growth. |
The morning preaching service
was largely attended, and at the
night service every available chair
in the church and parsonage was in
use. Only the regular choir partici
pi el bat the choruses were strong
and full, and the result of years of
singing together told in an ex
ceptional harmony. ;
The instrumental music was ex
cellent, the program being (-arried‘
out as announced in Saturday’s En
terprise with one change. The pian'o}
accompaniments by Mr, Ray Frey
and the work of Prof: C. W. Merck,
deserve especial mention, although
every member was ably rendered,
and the entire program was a musi-l
cal treat. :
pianist, Mrs. Murphy, has the sym
pathetic touch and graceful movc
ment so necessary in such a pro
duction, and was congratulated up
on her superb accompaniments to
the soloist and chorus. Fitzgerald
is acquainted with the violin of Mrs.
Farmer, and her obligators gave
sweeter song to every solo.
The Choir has had many urgent
requests, we understand, to repeat
the “Cantata,” but is not likely to
do so, prefering at an early date to
give something new, and quite as
good. :

Fitzgerald Young Man
May Inherit Millions
Forty Million Pounds Sterling
In the Bank of England Await

American Heirs.
Speetal Dispareh to The Chicads Tribung
I “Pittsburg, Pa., April 5.-—Biairs
lle and one o two other towns in
this State are excited over a pros
’pective fortune which is about to
fall'into the hands of their citizens.
Late in the seventeenth century a
man nained Holmes deposited a
large sum of meney in the Bank of
England for the benefit of his daugh
ter Jennie, who afterwards married
a man named Balderidge. She died
without heirs. The deposit has grown
by the accumulation of interest, un
til now it amounts to nearly 40,-
000,000 pounds sterling. Shortly
before the Revolutionary war two of
Holmes' brothers emigrated o this
country.
An attorney of the heirs isin Lon
don, and in a letter just written says
the fortune is no myth; that part of
it was borrowed' by the City of Lon
don to build a bridge and make
other public improvements, but that
all of the money is available to the
legal representatives of the man who
made the original deposit,
A prominent lawyer in this eity,
who is acquainted with the case,
says he has no doubt the money
will be forthcoming as soon as the
legal requirements can be complied
with.”
Fitzgerald may also be taken inte
consideration, since Mr. L. G. Holmes,
formerly of Macon, now employed
as M. C. B. accountant with A, B. &
A R. R, will be able to trace his re
lationship back to one of these
brothers. He has arranged with
attorneys in London who are busily
engaged in securing the necessary
data that will have to be provided
hefore the fortune can be distribut
ed.
