THE MEETING AT
BAPTIST CHURCH
Protracted Services to Begin
Sunday— Mr. Lion to Lead
Singing.
Next Sunday at Baptist church
a protracted meeting will begin,
which it is hoped will result in a
revival.
The preaching will be done by
the pastor and the singing led by
Mr. A. A. Lion, singing evange
list, of Atlanta. The church has
recently purchased some new soug
books and these, together with the
excellent leadership of the choir
and Mr. Lion, will no doubt add
much to the song service of the
church. The songs used will ne
familiar and much emphasis will
be laid on congregational singing.
Services will be held afternoon
and night, the evening services
being preceded by half hour’s
song and prayer service.
The members of other churches
are cordially invited to be present
at these meetings.
Thursday night the regular
prayer meeting will be a sort of
preparatory service for the meeting
and all the members of the church
are urged to be present. The
choir and orchestra are also ex
pected to meet at this time.
LAW IS BEING VIOLATED
AS TO DYNAMITING STREAMS
We have been informed that on
Friday night, June 4th, some
parties at Simmons’ mill, on the
Yellow' river, lot of dyna
mite in the pond and kept the
practice up till late in the night.
It is stated that the parties are
known and if the law is thus
violated again they will be brought
into account therefor.
Georgia’s game laws are very
stringent, and they should be.
Any one who will wantonly dyna
mite a stream, or kill game out of
season, does so at their own risk,
and it was as a word of warning
that we were requested to call at
tention to the above occurrence.
A Family Reunion Last Sunday.
At the home of Mrs. Sarah Caroline
Moulder in Forsyth county on Su
wanee route 2, June 13, the children,
grandchildren, great grandchildren
and several other relatives met with
her to celebrate her ninety-second
birthday. All the children were
present except Mr. E. M. Moulder,
of Winder. They began to gather
early in the morning and by 10:30 all
had arrived and it was very pleasant
to greet and be greeted by so many
relations.
The crowd was soon engaged in
hearty conversations and at the noon
hour a large table was prepared out
under the old shade trees which al
most groaned under the weight of
the many delicious things that would
appeal to the most fastidious appe
tite.
In the afternoon the crowd mixed
and mingled and many pleasant con
versations were engaged in by all
present. It was a day well spent and
enjoyed by all, there being seventy
five present, and the entire assembly
returns many thanks to Mr. Jim
Scales for the nice melon. Many
thanks and good wis hes to all.

WANT TO EXTEND
CORPORATE LIMITS
A Local Bill To Be Submitted
to General Assembly to
That Effect.
As will be seen from a notice pub
lished elsewhere in this paper, a bill
will be introduced at the coming ses
sion of the legislature to increase the
corporate limits of Lawrenceville for
a quarter mile in each direction.
A large number erf handsome resi
dences have been erected in the sub
urbs of the city during the last few
years and if the limits are extended
the population will be greatly in
creased and the taxable property
likewise made larger.
It is understood that some of the
property holders want to come in,
while others will doubtless oppose
the measure.
To Build Garage.
Dr. V. G. and E. T. Hopkins, have
purchased a location in the rear of
A. E. Ewing’s furniture store and
will erect a building to he used as a
garage.
We believe they will find the in
vestment a paying one.

and Miss Della Wages, of Rocky
Creek, were united in marriage Sun

We extend congratulations and
best wishes to ail of these couples.

NorcrossTeam Shu.s Locals
Out in Seven Inning Game.
Large Crowd Out.
Rain in the last of the seventh in
ning interfered with the closest game
of baseball seen in Lawrenceville in
many moons.
J ust as the last man was out in the
last of the seventh, Empire Powell
called the game the score being II to
0 in favor of Norcross.
Though the game had progressed
only 55 minutes the “rooters’ 1 were
most exhausted for the enthusiasm

about forty or fifty strong and every
one of them 38d degree fans.
The gate receipts were better than
usual and Manager Taylor was de
lighted with the crowd of local fans
that were out.

88 PENSIONERS
LESS THIS YEAR
Lindsey's Report Shows That
1908 Payments Reacned
$927,775.
Captain J. W. Lindsey, com
missioner of pensions, has com
pleted his annual report for the
year ending December 31, 1908,
and has submitted it to Governor
Smith.
The report shows that the total
number of pensioners paid in 1908
was 15,619 at a cost of $927,775.
85. The appropriation made by
the legislature lor the year was
$950,000, leaving a balance won
in the treasury of $22,224.15. The
roll for 1908 shows a decrease of
88 as compared with 1907.
The commissioner points out
that is impossible to estimate the
amount the pension de
partment will need until the gen
eral assembly legislates upon the
constitutional amendment adopt
ed last year.
True Aim of Life.
What one end should man desire to
accomplish? Is it obvious that God
■must have had some one great object
i® view in the creation of man? He
has made nothing in vain. Each lit
tle irrain of dust, each rock, each rill,
p«ch river, esch spire of grass, each
tr<ee, each living thing from the mite
to the mammotn, the man to the an
gel was designed to ans ver. Some
end to fill, some niche in the great
temple of creation, and yet how few
comprehend the design of fcheir crea
tion; how few even interrogate them
selves as to the end for which they
were made. Why am I here, for
what was I created, why am I kept
in existence, are questions which
most men never seriously consider.
They find themselves in the world
and yielding to the force of circuir
stances. If an angel were permitted
to assume a mortal body and should
(bin the multitude of men, who delve
in the < 'arth to heap up its treasures
and, like them, should Hve only to
gain material wealth, who should
not be astonished at his awful de
pravity. and wonder that such en
dowments were prostituted to so
worthy an end to eat and drink and
sleep and sport away life or to wear
it out in seeking honor or wealth oi
any earthly good, is not the end for
which man is placed in the world

WOULD ISSUL BONDS
TO PAY TEACHERS
Governor-Elect Brown Gives
His Views on the
Subject.
Governor-elect Joseph M. Brown
advocates the issuance of bonds
for the payment of teachers’ sal
aries. Mr. Brown outlined his
policy in an address at Klberton.
He said in part:
“I suggest that we take at once
the necessary steps to catch up
with our school fund and pay
every public teacher in Georgia
his or her salary monthly. It is
impracticable for us to collect in
one year the necessary sum from
taxation and accomplish this re
sult, and it would be almost
criminal for us to stop the schools
of Georgia to enable us to catch
up with our funds. What, then,
must we do? What will first sug
gest itself to every business man
who calmly considers this condi
tion should he be confronted with
like conditions in his own business
affairs? He would at once take
the necessary steps to raise the
money by the use of his credit. I
propose that we handle in like
manner for the state and for the
teachers the situation that now
confronts us, and utilize the credit
of the state to relieve the condi
tion. The legislature at its com
ing session should propose and
submit to the people of this state
an amendment to the constitution
authorizing the issuance of about
$600,000 of bonds, the proceeds of
which should be used to create a
permanent loan fund to be loaned
every spring to the school fund
for the payment of the teachers’
salaries, and returned to this loan
fund in December when the Jaxes
are collected. This fund should
be sacredly guarded and not used
for any other purpose.
“The state could raise this
money upon a three percent basis.
When not in use the despositories
would pay sufficient rate to reduce
the interest to the state to two
per cent. The bonds so issued
might be retired in a few years at
the rate of SIOO,OOO per annum
without the necessity of any in
crease in our tax.” Atlanta
Georgian.
JF ALL-WOOL FABRICS WERE
the rule in men's clothes therfe wouldn’t
be so much reason for talking about being
sure of getting all-wool clothes. But all
wool isn’t the rule; most of the men’s
clothes made today are made from fabrics
with cotton in them.
This is true of practically all “cheap” clothes —we use the
word cheap to mean price; a suit at $lO or sl2 or even sls is
pretty apt to be cotton. But even when you pay S2O or $25
you can’t always be sure of all-wool; because the weavers and
clothing makers are certainly very skillful in the way they
make cotton-mixtures look like wool.
The safe way, the best way. about lhe only sure way we
know of, to get all-wool, is to get Hart Schaffner & Marx
clothes. They use none but all-wool fabrics; you can depend
on on it every time. You’ll get the tailoring and style, too.
Suits $lB to $25.
