the purposo of extending an invita
tion to Dr. .1. C. Wilkinson, pastor of
the Baptist church an fellow Knight,
as the guest of honor. Dr. Wilkinson
will leave next week to go to Athens
to make his home and it was the de
termination of toe members of Plant

probability demonstrate that there
is more truth than poetry in this
