Movement Started in Atlanta Is Likely to Become Georgia- Wide by Next Year. Atlanta’s “Go-to-Church Day,” set for December 14, is attracting atten tion in many parts of the State and will be observed in several of the cities this year on the same date that it is in Atlanta. The indications ?rc that the movement started In Atlanta will be State-wide by another year, and that all of the churches through out Georgia will join in what will prove probablv the most striking dem onstration ever made by any band or organization of churches In America. The plan has met with instant ac ceptance from the ministers. It sup plied Just the stimulus which It had been impossible to obtain In any oth er manner. Every church had held rally days when tfe ministers wore able to -ack the building to the door*, but the idea of a concerted rally, when every church In the city would ne packed at the sar.e time, w’hen every minister w’ould be exaJted by the sea of faces before him and when more voices than ever Defore simultaneous ly would be ralsen in song and prayer, ijever had occurred to many of the ministers, much less been regarded as a possibility. Favor for Plan General. The “Go-to-Church” plan provided for Just such a situation. Every min ister was to use his utmost endeavo! to get out every person on his mem bership roll to the ‘wo services or December 14—even to those who had not been inside the church doors f r weeks and months. An actual show ing of tb” strength of the churchei was to be made. This immediately struck the minds of all religious work ers as an admlrablo plan, and they fell in with the project heartily and lent their assistance to make it a suc cess. Jackson, Ga., is the latest town in the State to join in the movement. Dispatches from there Thursday say that the day will be observed Decem ber 14 as it Is In Atlanta. The min isters of the place have taken hold of the work and have aroused the whole town to an active Interest. The movement also has the indorsement of a large number of business men and other members of the laity. Each of the Atlanta churches will have committees to see that the ef fects of “Go-to-Church Day” shall lie lasting, and that the persons who at tend on December 14 are personally invited to attend on all of the suc ceeding Sundays Plan Annual Observance. In other cities where a movement of this sort has been undertaken »h« results have been of a permanent na ture. It is the determination of th«> Atlanta pastors that the same shall be true here. The ministerial committee whUh has charge of the arrangements for the day in all probability will take steps to perpetuate Its observance an nually and to spread It to every city in the State. Atlanta pastors l nday again will urge their congregations to turn out in full force at both services. The negro churches are co-operat ing and will add thousands to the to tal attendance for the day.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6 —The j mystery of the famed Glenrldd.lt, manuscripts of the poet Robert Burns, which were sold secretly by the Athenaeum Library of Liverpool last summer, and for which a committee of Indignant Scots in both Scotland and England has since been searching, wag cleared up in an unexpected man ner at the dinner of the St. Andrew’s Society at the Bellevue-Stratfor 1, when it w’as announced that the man uscripts were In this city. John Gribbel, the present owner of the priceless volumes, which com prise the largest collection of Burns manuscripts in the world, in a briof address announced that he had bought the missing volumes and would re store them to Scotland, the land of the poet's birth, and in his opinion the rightful owner to-day. When Mr. Gribbel, who was one of the guests at the dinner, made this announcement he took the immense gathering completely by surprise. Not on Regular Program. Mr. Gribbel was not assigned to a toast on the program, but was called upon to give an account of the ro mance of some Burns manuscripts, upon which it was understood he could throw some light. "When Burns had received from Greech, the publisher In Edinburg, his share of the proceeds of the 1787 edi tion of his poems,” said Mr. Gribbel, “you will recall that he gave his brother, Gilbert Burns, one-half of the 500 pounds received to pay the debts of the family and help Gilbert on with the farm at Mossglel, and with the remainder Burns leased and furnished the farm Ellisland in Dum friesshire. Here Burns made one of the best friends he ever had, In Rid dell of Glenriddell, who w’as a man of culture, education, and of local position. Burns stayed at Ellisland from 1788 to 1791. when he gave up farming and lived in Dumfries. “Before leaving England he prepar ed a manuscript volume containing his selected poems, finished as he wanted them known by posterity, also another volume containing his manu script letters, and presented them to Riddell as a mark of esteem. Riddell died in 1794, whereupon his widow gave back to Burns these two vol umes. Two years later Burns died.” COUNTRY EGGS 35: Real Country Eggs, not Chicago Cold Storage Libby’s Extra Quality White Asparagus Tips, the highest grade tip packed. 4 Special Libby’s 25c To jt i o« mato Catsup ‘ “ New York State Extra Qual ity Sweet Wrinkled Peas.
