getting into the charmed circle by a
margin of one figure, the .200 per cent,

Should certain plan* thnt are now
on foot he carried out many oh.1n.7es
will he made nt Central City Park be
fore the opening of the ball senson of
1006. Three bodies ore Interested In
the Improvement at the park and these
bodies will meet and arrange definite
plans. Those Interested In the Im
provements are iha mayor and council
of Mncon, the Maeor baseball club
And Mercer University. When the
meeting is held representatives from
each body will he present and Mans
will be advanced.
It has been rumored of late thnt the
city in dealrouM of placing the ball yard
In a better condition. It hi known
that the Mercer collegians want It
belter equipped, and as for the moguls
of the local club changes for the bet
ter would exactly suit.
The quest Ion of expense would, It la
expected, prove of small moniftrtt, an
three sources might be called Upon for
help. Mereer pays a certain amount
for the use of the grounds, likewise the
local club. The money that the city
takes lu payment for one season’* use
of the park would he more than enough
to make'the changes that are so de
sired.
It has been suggested from 'many
source** that the grand aland I#* so
fixed that Its seating capacity would
he enlarged to accommodate nt least
more. Reside*, the seats In the
stand have n9 barks. Hhould the prn-
posed changes be made tha benches
will bo equipped with tho ntodod
backs.
Not only In Macon but also In tha
other eftlea of the league are changes
to bo made on the fields. In several
towns a complete system of up-to-date
sewerage la to bo laid under tho dia
monds. so that In cage of a severe rain
the water will not lenv* the ground In
a more pnnd-llke condition than a ball
yard. Other Innovations will be made
and the circuit enclosures for the sea
son of 1906 will no doubt be aa up-to-
date a* any In the Kouth.
8TUDENT 8ERVICE8.
The service* being conducted at
Mercer University by Dr. John E.
White of Atlanta continue in Interest
and will be held through half the pres,
ent week. Many of the students have
professed conversion and tha attend
ance haa ben auch as to prove grat!
fytng to thoae who are making an ef
fort to Interest the student body.
Dr. White ha* been conducting the
service* in Bellman Hall, the
C. A. building of Mercer. Thera have
been morning and evening services
nnd on both occasions work has been
laid aside and the whole student body
have attended. The meetings have
! proven so satisfactory that the f«rk
will continue until about Wednesday.
The ladles of tha Auxiliary Boclety
of the Mpcon hospital who bad charge
of the bnznnr which has been held nt

Campbell King and the merchants who
