THE ATLANTA GLOKUiAN A.M) ,\h\\N.
STATE READY FOR GREAT
The ministerial committee or “Go-
to-Church Day” announced Wednes
day that all arrangements for the
• vent had been completed, and that
all that remained was to wait for the
great outpouring of people to the
.churches next Sunday. The move
ment also has spread to many other
'titles In the State.
Members of the committee have re
ceived assurances of hearty co-op
eration from practically the entire
ministry of Atlanta, and are confident
that there will be a record attend
ance in the churches that never hits
been approached before In the history
of the city.
So thorough has been the work of
home of the ministers in behalf of
the success of the day that they have
seen that no person still with u mem
bership In their church was without
an individual Invitation to attend
both services next Sunday. This plan
is expected to result In the attend
ance of many people who have not
been to church before In months and
the pastors hope for lasting results in
the way of larger congregations
through the coming year.
Return postcards were sent to all
of the churches of the city Wednes
day. On these the pastors will enter
the totals for their morning and even
ing services, together with the nor
mal or average attendance, and mall
the cards Immediately after the even
ing service, so as to facilitate the
compilation of the figures.
Use Ordinary Postcard.
If. because of a change of address
or a change of pastors, any church
fails to receive Its card, the pastor or
clerk is requested to use an ordinary
postcard and fill in these figures, des
ignating the name of the church and
t he present pastor
Dr. Caleb A. Ridley, pastor of Cen
tral Baptist Church, arrived Wednes
day from Athens, where for the last
ten days he has been engaged In a
great revival In the Tabernacle Bap
tist Church. He will speak at the
mid-week prayer service Wednesday
night and at both service* Sunday.
The people of Athens urged I>r.
Ridley to continue the revival
throughout the week, but he declined,
stating that he felt it his duty to oc
cupy his own pulpit on next Sunday,
which has been set aside by all the
• hurches of Atlanta as "Go-to-Church
Day.”
Every possible effort has been put
forth by the Central Church to make
(he occasion a great success, and it
is expected that the building will be
taxed to its utmost capacity at both
morning and evening services. Spe

"Rev. F. K. Sims, pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church, speaks of the
movement as an ideal one. He says:
'If we can get those who have not
been attending church services to be
present next Sunday, we can show
them how easy it is to attend. Then,
by making the services specially in
terest lug, we can get them to attend
regularly.* "
“Rev. W. R. Fodte. pastor of the
First Methodist Church, and Rev. E.
B. Farrar, pastor of the Second Bap

ily in accord with the suggestion."

Reports front Newnan are to the
effect that a record-breaking attend
ance is looked for there Sunday. Spe

churches.
GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY
AND BE BETTER FOR IT
Atlanta is to have the first “ Oo-to-Church Day” in its his
tory next Sunday.
If you are one of those loyal people who attend church
services regularly- rain or shine- then you will be there next
Sunday as usual.
Hut this is addressed particularly to the irregular church
goers and to those who possibly haven't been inside their church
for the last six months or a year.
Do yourself, your church and your city a benefit next Sun- \
day by celebrating “Go-to-Church Day.”
The observance of the day is very simple. All one has to
do is to attend the morning and evening services, adding his
presence to the record-breaking throng that will be out.
You may get back into the habit of attending churcji regu- <
larly if you go next Sunday and become infected with the joy-
ousness and enthusiasm of the big congregations. You will feel
better for it if you do.
Leaving aside the personal feature, you will add to the <
attendance of your church, and you will help swell the grand
total of the attendance for the whole city of Atlanta—a total
that is expected 1o eclipse every other record ever set in a city I
of this size.
The ministers and the laitv are determined to make next
Sunday epochal. Help them do it.

“Over the Sea” Winning.
The English melodrama "Over the
Sea." thin week's offering of the
Jewell Kelley company at the Bi
jou, Is attracting large and enthusi
astic audiences. Differing in style
from most of the melodramas th it
have been offered by the company,
the play Is doubly interesting, and
tile costumes, as well as the seems
of the play, add to the interest of
the production. The company an
nounces for next week one of the
strongest American melodramas,
"The Denver Express.'* a play that
will doubtless prove one of the most
popular in the company’s repertoire.
"Butterfly on the Wheel.”
Few plays that have been offered
at the Eyrie this season are so in
tensely interestin'” as "The Butter
fly on the Wheel” that Is scoring a
well deserved hit this week at the
Carnegie way theater. The story is
one that teaches a strong lesson
and during its long run In New'
York received the unqualified in
dorsement of press and public. The
company, headed by Miss Eleanor
Montell, is a most capable one and
Miss Montell herself Is scoring .i
splendid hit. The stage production
is complete and the performance ix
really one of the most entertaining
of the season. "The Butterfly on th“
Wheel” should do excellent business
this week.
Yvette, Whirlwind, at Forsyth.
Yvette, a second Eva Tanguay, ex
cept that this one is an adept artist
on the violin, is appearing at the
Forsyth this week. This young lady
of eccentric qualities Is meeting with
one of the biggest successes that any
single artist has ever met with in
Atlanta. Her whirlwind dancing in
connection with her playing and a
wonderful voice also all help to make
this an act of worth-while merit. The
Australian Boy Scouts exhibit drills,
blanket throwing and the manipula
tion of rifles in a very clever fashion,
and there is a great deal of Interest
inasmuch as this is one of the Scout
organizations. The Nichols Sisters
entertain In a lively way, and the
other acts are meritorlus.

N BLAZE .
Blaze Starts in “Baby Section.”
Firemen’s Quick Work Saves
Leyden House Exhibit.
The Child Welfare and Public
Health Exhibit, in the old Leyden
House on Peachtree street, narrowly
escaped destruction Wednesday
morning, between 5 and 6 o'clock
when fire broke out in the "baby sec
tion" on the first floor.
Prompt work by the fire depart
ment saved the exhibit. One or two
panels and posters were scorched, aiVI
slight damage was done to the walls.
The fire Is supposed to have started
from a defective flue. There was no
one in the building except George
Brown, the janitor, and the night
watchman. Brown had arrived early
to build the fires. After starting the
furnace, he went to the second floor
driectly above the room where the
"baby exhibit” is located, to sweep.
Smoke coming through the cracks
In the floor attracted his attention.
He ran downstairs. The "baby room ’
the second to the right os one enters
the building, was filled with smoke,
and flames were shooting out from
the walls.
Brown closed the door to prevent
air getting to the fire, and imme
diately called the fire department.
When the firemen arrived the house
was full of smoke. Hose from the
chemical tanks was run into the
building, and the fire was extin
guished.
The fire attracted considerable at
tention among the morning throngs
on Peachtree street, and several hun
dred persons gathered to watch the
blaze.
Restaurant Burns
On Decatur Street.
Fire of mysterious origin destroyed
the restaurant of S. H. Goldberg. No.
402 Decatur street, at an early hour
Wednesday morning, causing a loss
estimated at several hundred dollars.
The building was in flames when
the fire was discovered by a passing
pedestrian, and before the fire depart
ment could arrive was burned almost
to the ground. The firemen were un
able to save the building or any of its
contents, and most of their w’ork was
directed toward preventing*the flames
from spreading to surrounding build
ings
On the charge of cheating and
swindling. A. S. Colyar was bound
over to the grand jury under bond cf
$750 at Rome Tuesday. The direct
charges against him are that he ob
tained three notes for $750 from Mrs.
S. C. Awtrey, a wealthy resident of
Rome, under representation* that a
son was in trouble, and that Colyar
could get him out of it for this
amount.
Colyar made bond nt once and it is
probable that his case will be tri.d
next week.

Packers Cut Prices
25 Per Cent in Year;
Retailers Get Profit
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—The consumer
who buys beef ribs and loins to-day
paying just about as much as he did
this time last year, is giving his re
tailer a profit of about 25 per cent over
the profit of 1912. This is because of
th decreased cost of meat to the re
tailer.
••Ribs and loins are being sold from
15 to 25 per ceet less now than at this
time last year by the wholesale dealer,"
said T E. Wilson, of Morris & Co. “The
wholesaler has reduced the price to the
retailer because there is a greater sup-
pi} now than within recent months. In
most cases the price has not been ac
cordingly lowered to the consumer.’’
Following are the prices quoted now
and in December, 1912:
1912. 1913.
No. 1 loin 28c 17*4c
No. 1 ribs 25c 15c
A corresponding decrease In the
wholesale price of pork is also shown.
