THE BAPTIST MEETING.
Several Prominent Divines Have Been
Heard Here This Week.
The meeting at the Baptist
church started off last Friday
night with a church rally, at
which the roll was called and all
the members present responded
with a verse of scripture.
The pastor delivered an appro
priate address on “What we have
wrought,” and J, A. Ambrose made
a hit while discussing “Our future
prospects.” C. M. Morcuck spoke
on “Tbevalm of organized effort,”
and Miss Agnes Haslett rendered
a recitation that was well received.
The duet by Miss Lillie Ambrose
and Miss Daisy Ewing was highly
commendable.
Saturday it rained and there
was no service that night.
Sunday morning the sermon to
the Masons was postponed, but
Mr, Reed was at his best while
speaking of the sanctity of truth,
basing his remarks on John 17:
17, 18, 19.
On Sunday afternoon the pastor
spoke again and addressed a good
congregation on the parable of the
prodigal son.
Dr. Jameson, of Atlanta, was to
have filled the pulpit Sunday night
but was unavoidably kept from
coming and the task of preaching
fell on the pastor. was
more than equal to the occasion
and delivered a fiue missionary
sermon from Acts 1:8. His sub
jact was divided into two parts,
(1.) where does missions begin ?
(a) heart, (b) home, (c) church.
(2) what is missions ? (a) one
sent. A great many had not heard
of missions in the light in which
he showed it and there was much
sound logic in his argument.
Monday night the pastor deliv
ered a sermon on “The duvil in
breeches,” taking for a text 1 John,
8:8, “He that committeth sin is of
the devd; for the devil siuneth
from the beginning. For this pur
pose the Son of God was manifest
ed, that he might destroy the works
of the devil.” Mr. Reed took up
the several devils separately and
handled each in turn as follows:
Critical, lazy, stingy or covetous,
gambling and whisky devils.
Time and space forbid further
comment than to merely mention
the names. i
Tuesday night Rev. A. C. Ward,
of Atlanta, occupied the pulpit,
and all were charmed with his
discourse. His text was, “For
all have sinned, and come short
of the glory of God,” Ro 8-23.
Dr. Ward is pastor of Temple
Baptist church, Atlanta, is past
master of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows of Georgia and a-
Mason of high rank.
Wednesday night Dr. H. R. Ber
nard, of Athene, financial agent of
Mercer University, preached for
us, and this eloquent pulpit orator
held the congregation spell bound
for an hour while drawing many
beautiful lessons from the parable
of feeding the five thousand with
five loaves and two little fishes.
Dr. Bernard is the right man in
the right place, and is greatly be
loved by Georgia Baptists.
The meeting will come to a close
tonight, the last sermon being
preached by Dr. Bell, editor of
the Christian Index.
The Bank of Buford has money
to loan to farmers. Terms right.
LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 18. 1901.
HAD IT IN LIGHT FORM.,
L. V. Cates, of Cates District, Had a
Touch of Smallpox.
Dr. T. K. Mitchell was called in
Sunday to see Mr. L. W. Cates, of
Cates district, who resides near
Snellville, in this county, and he
pronounced the case smallpox,
though in a very light form .
No uneasiuess is felt on this ac
count and the patient has never
been confined to his bed. He had
a slight breaking out cn the face
and body, but the postules were
not large enough to come to a head
and never run.
Chairman Brown, of the board
of county commissioners, took the
matter under advisement and he
did not deem it necessary to place
the patient in quarantine, the fam
ily agreeing to let no one enter or
leave the house except the imme
diate household.
Mr. Brown has visited the place
every day since Sunday and con
siders all danger from contracting
the disease by others as passed.
Mr. Cates went to plowing Wed
nesday and has not felt the slight
est pain or inconvenience from the
attack.
He visited Atlanta about twelve
days before breaking out and the
attending physician is of the opin
ion that he contracted the disease
while in the Gate City.
Mr. Cates has a wife and five or
six children and they refused to be
vaccinated, believing the head of
the family was not afflicted with
the smallpox malady.
The scare has blown over and
we can assure the good people of
Gwinnett and surroundings that
no alarm need be felt over this
slight attack in our midst.
The paper stated last week that \
Robert Broadwell was cut in a 1
fight up in Hog Mountain district.
It should have been Ralph Broad
well, who had his clothes pretty
badly gashed and received one
wound about four inches long.
Louis Daniel is alleged to have
done the cutting act and Broad
well says he did not strike him
with a 6tick, only using hie fists.
Dr. Mel T. Johnson will deliver
an address on the 26th of April
before the Odd Fellows at Bethle
hem. The lodge at that place will
celebrate; their anniversary with
several other lodges and our
popular physician will do himself
pr.'ud on this occasion. The exer
cises will be public and it promises
to be a gala affair and a red letter
day for the brethren at Bethlehem.
Rev. G, W. Griner occupied the
Methodist pulpit Sundav morning
and preached an unusually inter
esting sermon from the text, “And
Stephen, full of faith and power,
did great wonders and miracles
among the people.” Acts 6:8
The minister spoke of the condi
tions tc becoming a power for
good iu the world, and closed his
discourse with an earnest appeal
to his hearers to study the Bible
ana become more familiar with its
teachings. Services will be pro
tracted at this church from uext
Sunday.

A Brilliant Success*
Those of us who took advantage
of the opportunity to attend the
plav at the auditorium last Thurs
day evening feel that congratula
tions are due those who originated
the entertainment and carried it
to a successful consummation.
A large audience was present
and all enjoyed the play hugely.
Without specifying the merits
of each actor, it is sufficient to say
that there was not a sorry, unin
teresting role in the entire pro
gram, but from beginning to end
there was that alertness and vim
and absolute mastery of detail
that always guarantee the success
of such an entertainment. It was
thoroughly enjoyed by all and an
occasional recurrence of a similar
“show” would be a pleasing feat
ure of the social life of the towu.
New Process For Weighing.
Since the order of Buffaloes has
kinder died down the local con
tingent had to have something to
break the monotony of the situa
tion. They then took to weighing
people. An unsuspecting fellow
would walk up and a member of
the gang would guess at the can
didate’s weight, always placing
the figure beyond what the scales
would prove his avoirdupois to be.
Another would wager cigars that
he would not tip the beam at that
much. The first man would begin
to examine the uusußpecting can-
didate and propose to lift him be
fore placing him on the scales.
This was done by clasping the
candidate’s bauds and raising him
over the back of the first man.
Another fellow was always station
ed in the rear with a paddle and
as the candidate’s pants became
tight the board was applied w here
it would do the most good. Quite
a number were thus “weighed,”
which invariably resulted in a
loud laugh for the oriiookers, but
the victim failed to see where the
fun came in.

VOL. VIII. NO
Want Eural Boutes.
Judging from an editorial in the
last issue of the News-Herald*,
printed at Lawrenceville, the good,
ppople of that county feel that
they have been kinder slighted in
the maiter of free rural mail de
liveries. The editorial Bays that
Walton has five routes ruuuiugout
from Monroe and that Gwinnett
none. We find the rural routes
a great convenience and beufitand
hope our good neighbor, Gwinnett,
will be able to have them.—Wal
ton News and Messenger.
Inspector Arnold looked over"
and recommended the establish
ment of two routes in this county,
but when they are to begin opera
t ion is a matter of speculation. The
carriers are ready and are only
waiting for orders to begin their
routes. Postmaster Cole can
throw’ no light on the subject
and all they can do is to patiently
wait.
