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.

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 tist Church, are others who are heart ily in accord with the suggestion." Newnan for State Observance. In Newnan, the Rev.

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.

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.

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. ANOTHER PASTOR CALLED. COLUMBUS, Dec. 10.—The Rev W. P. Reaves, of Tuscumbia.

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.
