Valley people are now looking, forward
to the Easter editon of the Leader, which
is lo be edited by the ladles of the town,
the proceeds to be used in building a new
Methodist church here. Tho issue will
contain eight pages of seven columns
each and will be printed in two colors,
blue and red. Two thousand copies are
to be printed and quite a nice little sum
will bo realised. Already enough adver
tisements have been secured to moke the
paper a success financially.
The staff of the paper will be as fol
lows: Editor In chief, Mrs. C. G. Gray:
assistant editors, Mrs. W. J. Bcroggs
and Miss Eva Grady Edwards; editorial
puragrapher, Mrs. W. D. Sandwich; so
ciety editors, Mrs. William It. Drown and
Miss Emily Lucia Greene; state news ed
itor, Mrs. O. G. Singleton: sporting edl-
torc, Misses Fannie Branham and Olive
Brown; county affairs. Miss Gertrude
Flournoy; city institutions. Miss Mam!
Branch; local reporters. Misses Lilia Ev
erett and Mamie Stewart; police reporter.
Miss Dedle Troutman; business manager,
Mrs. f. O. Miller; treasurer, Mrs. J. D.

get out a splendid sheet does not begin
to tell It. Every one seems to be lending
the ladles a helping hand nnd all wish
them much success. This paper will be
widely read and It can be seen at once
that It will be a very desirable advertis
ing medium. Tho ladies have placed a
reasonable price on their advertising
space and It would be well for those who
desire to he represented to communicate
at once with the business manager.

TWO GREAT ORATORS.
Great Attractions for Gordon Institute
Commencement.
The cavalry is also included In this
year's encampment, but Instead of
ordering tile troopers Into camp at ■
Griffin dismounted, the board, at the
advice of Col. Garrard, decided to have
the cavalry encampment at ..gome
point near Savannah, where the meh
can go unmount 'd. Two thousand
five hundred dollars of the appropria
tion will be allowed for the cavalry
encampment. The remedy that would
have been applied to transporting the
troops to Griffin will go towards feed
ing the horses.
J. H. Deveaux of the First Battal-
lon, colored, of Savannah, F. H,
Crumbley of the ‘Second ItaMalion
colored, of Atlanta and J. Blochor of
the Third Battalion, colored, of Augus
ta appeared before the board this af
ternoon and urged that their commands
be supplied with full encampments.
At present they do not insist upon
participating In the encampment, be
cause they are not prepared for serv
ice, but when the complete equipment
Is obtained the colored troops will ask
for an encampment.
Before adjournment this afternoon
the board call 'd upon Governor At
kinson tiud held a conference with
him.
The advisory board today Rdoptcd reso
lutions calling the attention of Governor
Atklnaon to the fact that the Oate <’lty
Guard of Atlanta an Independent compa
ny, has announced its intention to appear
on tho streets on Memorial day under
arms, contrary to the law. The board
condemns any such breach and calls on
tiie governor to sec that the '»w l> en
forced and the company prevented from
such flagrant defiance of the regular mil
itary authodltles.
The troops to go Into camp this year
are the Flret, Third ami Sixth Georgia
regiments and the artillery.
New companlee were admitted from At
lanta. Harmony , Grove. Lexington and
Dublin, and companies II, T and N of the
Second regiment were cited to show cause
why they should not be disbanded.
After hearing the delegation represent-
log the three colored battalions the
beard decided that the flret step taken
should be a general inspection of the col
ored troops of the slate, and this will be
ordered. ’
SURPRISE TO GOVERNOR fawns.
Governor Evans of south Carolina,
who has been In the city since Sun
day In the Interest of South Carolina's
exhibit at th» exposition, paid Gover
nor Atklnaon a social mill at the rap-
itol today. The two governors after
ward took a drive over the dty to
gether.
Governor Evan* was very much In
terested and pleased with tHo methods
of the Qeorgta state administration. He
found one Institution, however, that
he didn’t know exactly how to place,
the military advisory hoard, which was
In session during h<* visit.
It appear* that the Palmetto state
has not yet discovered a use for such
a board, and when asked about mil
itary operations. Governor Evans re
marked that his state had tried 110,000
on an encampment In one year, but
the boys thought it waa a free plchlc,
and the experiment wouldn't be re
peated.
In the early stages of the Georgia
state encampment Governor Atklnaon
did aervlces as a private In the Now-
nan Guardi, and speaking from ox-
perl -nee, he assured the Palmetto state
governor that the encampment here
la anything but a ptcnle.

Wadley, April 1.—(Special. i-The
three days’ union meeting of the lap-
tlst church at this place was w-1 at
tended by delegates from surr 'rail
ing counties as well as all of the
churches of that denomination ofthls
county. The first lecture was by the
Rev. J. C. Davis of Hepzlbah, vtdeh
was one of the finest lectures oi the
flrances of the church that has >een
listened for many yean*. It was full,
complete and unanswerable.
There were many question* print
ed and debated during the m tlsg,
which provd to be of great Intend to
the church. The meeting was pr.dded
over by tire pastor, Rev. Dr. leek,
moderatoh who prailded with that
Christian spirit which showed iht he
highly appreciated tile honorable posi
tion assigned lm by the delegate:. I
will not attempt to give you th • lany
able Christian efforts of the dlivrent
delegates on tho various quexlons
which were presented and dlseissed
during the three days. I will only
say that all that was said was said
and received in that spirit which :har-
acterlze a baud of true Christian troth-
ers and sisters In the s*rvlce o the
master. The news of the good that
•was being done by this band of 'hrls-
tlan workers soon flashed from door
to door, causing the many wH> nt
first seemed to be unconcerned (> lay
aside their Indifference and Jin in
the great work, until the Bipttst
church was unable to seat the c.ugie-
gaiiun, wilicii made It iieveSSiy to
accept the Methodist churoh, vnlch
proved to be ample for the lar*' con
gregation that .had assembled t: hear
the final sermon of the meetlrt. It
had been noted by nil that the Rev.
E. Wright, principal of the f,ou«-
vlfie Academy, would preach tit- final
sermon at. the Methodist church at 11
'clock Sunday, and long befor the
hour for the service.* one could a*' the
people hurrying to the church t> ob
tain pleasant seats. The choir acre
promptly In their, places some half
hour or more before the hour and
entertained tile congregation vlth
many sweet songs, which fully pre
pared them for the feast of good
thing* soon to follow.
Promptly at 11 o'clock ProresuiorXIin-
sey raised his wand, which wst the
signal for the services to comnence,
when the choir, standing, sang ;hat
beautiful hymn, “Rock of Ages."
Among the many voices in the con
gregation who Joined the choir In sing
ing, tho sweet tenor voice of Mr.
Robert Ready of the Central rSIraod
could be distinctly heard, which aided
melody to the harmony of tfie. ffiolr.
After the singing tho Rqv. Mr.
Wright arose and, throwing 11 his
hands, said, let us pray. Wti-n a

by the eloquent and chaste language
of the preacher that we felt th*J one

They say that every sweet ha Its
