The great event of the school
the b ield Day took place Easter
day on the college campus.
Promptly at 3 p. m. the fun began.
Field Marshal Helen E. Holiugworth
took her place and the contestants lined
up. The judgeR were: Mrs. John
Moore. Miss Abbie Crawfork, Miss
Dorothy Newell, Miss Mary Newell, Miss
Flisch.
Captains Martin and Martin are cap
tains indeed. When the ball came into
their hands it Btayed there.
Arua Thompson is surely made of
India rubber. Else how could she cover
the field so quickly?
The Sophomores were not quite so
tall or so heavy as their rivals, but they
put up a beautiful game.
The Sophomore guard iu the West
field was worth looking at. The way
she sent the ball spinning—Whew!
Annie Calb is clear grit. That face
of hers hurt her badly enough to send
her limping home, but she didn't go and
she didn’t limp. She was going to see
the Sophomores through and she did
it. That’s the right spirit.
Did you see Dixie Hass send that ball?
and she was only playing, too. Sup
pose she had tried—where do you think
t he ball would have lauded?
It is the opinion of ye pencil pusher
that if the Sub-Fresh and Fresh keep
up their present spirit, the G. N. & 1.
will be the finest college iu the land in
1907 and 1908.
The white and bine is a live team
through and through.
That was »■ bad tumble in the three
legged race, but we are glad no serious
results followed.
The program of events witli the win
ners was as follows:
1. Three Legged Race.—Miss Bessie
Mitchum, Miss Chester Lugan, Prepara
tory Class.

The prize drill and atliletic exhibition
last Friday night proved a delightful
surprise to the public. Every feature
of the programme held some new fasci
nation for the large audience present.
Cadet Holloway won the medal in the
drill after a spirited contest that was not
lacking in exciting features. The
cadence drill and the exhibition drill by
the picked team were very flue and re
ceived liberal applause. But the ath
letic performance fairly caught the au
dience. The various feats of strength
and skill were all executed with an ease
and snap, even by the heavy weights in
the squad, that kept the audience in
pleased wonder. The whole entertain
ment was out of the ordinary and for
that reason alone was the more enjoyed.
Everybody went away greatly pleased
with the evening and—the receipts wore
very satisfactory.
Capt. D. S. Sanford and Lt. Frank
Sliealey were the judges of the drill.
They met their exacting duties very
i efficiently and kept things moving at
“double time’’ by their quick detection
of errors, and prompt decisions. The
cadets appreciate the services of tiiese
astute military gentlemen and thank
them for their kind consideration.
Mr. Wm. R. McKinley, of this coun
ty, was among the graduates of the
Medical College at Augusta last week.
Dr. McKinley has made a splendid
record since his entry into the college,
and graduated with third honor in a
large class.
He has gone into the Lamar Hospital
in Augusta, where he will spend some
time in perfecting himself for his] pro
fession.
Dr. McKinley is the oldest son of Mr.
G. C. McKinley, and is a graduate of
the G. M. College, where he graduated
several years ago. He is an unusually
bright and brainy young man, and a
bright fntnre await^Jhim in his chosen
profession.
The Union Recorder joius his friends
in congratulations upon the excellent
rocord he has made.

Mr. Turner Pearson committed suicide
at the home of Mr. S. M. Dcvereaux in
Hancock county, Sunday morning, by
shooting himself through the head with
a pistol.
The news of the tragedy was received
iu this city Sunday, by a telegram to
Mrs. W. R. Moore, a sister of Mr. Pear
son, who was terribly shocked at the
awful occurrence.
Sunday morning about ten o’clock,
Mr. Peasron walked into a room, where
number of ladies, who were at the
home of Mr. Dcvereaux, had gathered,
preparatory to going to church, and
stated that he was going to kill himself.
He then went to a bureau, and took
a 38 pistol from one of the drawers,
placing the muzzle to his head and
pulled the trigger twice in rapid succes
sion. He fell to the floor, as the ladies
ran screaming from the room. Medical
aid was summoned, and it was found
that he was dangerously wounded. He
died about one o’clock.
Mr. Pearson was well known in this
city, having lived here several years ago,
being in the employ of the Oconee River
Mills. He left here about two years ago
lie went to Atlanta, where be was em
ployed by the Atlanta Milling Company.
He came to this city Saturday, the 2nil
iust., to visit his sister, and remained
here until Tuesday, when he wont to
the home of his father-in-law, Mr. S.
M. Devorcuux. It was noticed that he
was despondent, and inclined to look
on the dark side of life.
His sad and untimely death was a
shock to his friends and acquaintances.
Rev. J. D. Chapman Will Preach Force
ful Sermons This Week.
Interest in the services, which has
been in progress at the Baptist church
the past week, is increasing. Rev. La
mar Simms, the pastor, preached at
both the afternoon nnd-evening services
to large congregations.
Rev. J. D. Chapman arrived in the
city Saturday night, and preached both
Sunday morning and evening. The
sermons were listened to by large con
gregations. Mr. Chapman preaches
with the same earnestness and zeal he
did when he waH pastor of the church
here several years ago. He is greatly
beloved by the people of this city, and
it expected that his sermons will be
blqpsed with godd results.
The publie arc cordially invited to
attend the services this£week, at 4:16
and 7:80 o’clock, p. m.
time between the Macon schools and the
G. N. & I. College. It is needless to say
that they were well repaid for their side
trip to Milledgeville. They wore spe
cially pleased with the manual teaiuiug
work which they saw here.
Last Saturday morning Mr. L. H.
Andrews, Treanror of the State Sani
tarium, received a check for $22,986 from
Gov. Terrell. 'Phis check covers the
shortage of the late treasurer, Mr. C.
H. Troutman, and was paid the Gover
nor by the American Bonding Company,
which Mr. Troutman’s bond was
given.
Miss Nannie Seal of the Junior Class
has brought the battalion under re
newed obligation to her for playing the
piano accompaniment to the cadence
drill. She was always reudy to meet
for practice and never showed weariness
or impatience. Her services were in
valuable to the entertainment.
Capt. W. R. Ennis won many ad
mirers by his tenor solo, sung with
striking effect. The audience called
him back in testimony of its pleasure.
Capt. Ennis has a remarkably rich tenor
voice, and lie has cultivated it with care.
His services will no doubt be iu demand
for public entertainments.
The music for the approaching Com
mencement will be exceptionally flue.
The choir for Commencement Sunday
has been carefully selected and is now
iu training for the occasion. It is made
up of the best voices, male and female,
in Milledgeville. The Grand Concert
on Monday night of Commencement
will probably be the most brilliant and
attractive entertainment of its kind that
the college has ever given.

BRIDGE OVER TOWN CREEK.
The County Commissioners of Han
cock aud Baldwin counties have decided
to build abridge over Town Greek, at
Minor’s ford. This stream is the divid
ing line between the two counties.
The people living in that section or
Hancock county have wanted a bridge
built over the creek for a long time, and
have lietitioned the Commissioners of
both counties to that effect a number of
times. The grand juries ot Baldwin
county have continuously recommended
it but the Commissioners could not get
those of Hancock to unite with them
in the work. „
On Monday, the 4tli inst,, Messrs G.
C McKinlv and W. G. Hawkins of this
county, met Hon. John L. Culver, of
Hancock, at the ford, and after consul
tation it was decided to build the bndge,
a few feet below the ford. Mr. Z. I.
Stanley, who owns land in Hancock
county donating the right of way to a
road leading to the bridge.

Improved Methods of Church Work.
The Session of the Presbyterian
church has adopted a plan of church
work which it is hojxid will be effective
and successful in meeting the needs of
the congregation. Incidentally it will
be of incalculable benefit to all of those
who will take part in the work.
This plan contemplates dividing fthe
work of the church into five depart
ments: Evangelistic, Sunday School,
Invalid, Attendance, Music. A commit
tee serves in each department for six
months. A Ruling Elder is chairman
of each committee. Church members
who do not serve for the first, six months
will be appointed for the second six
months. The present committees will
serve uutll the first of October.
It will be of interest to the members
of the Presbyterian church as well as
I others to know who compose these com
mittees, which are us follows:
Evangelistic.—Prof. W. E. Reynolds,
hairmau; L. C. Hall, vice; It. L. Ken
nedy, E. L. Carrington. Mrs. S. E. Rob
son' Mrs. E. J. Flemister, Mrs. O. M.
Case, Misses Emmie Carrington, Louise
Case, Mr. Clmunoey Adams, Miss Belle
McMillan.
Sunday School.—G. C. McKinley,
chairman; K. T. Alfriond, vice; G. C.
Smith, C. F. Howe, Virgil Sanford,
Mrs. L. C. Hall, Mrs. J. D. Sibley, Mrs.
G. D. Case, Miss Mary Robson.
Invalid.—E. P. Lane and W. G.
Hawkins, Chairmen; Dr. T. M. Hall,
vice; Dr. G. D. Case, H. M. Lamar, J.
A. Brooks. Warren Edwards, A. D.
Nisbet, Dr. D. S. Carrington, Mrs. C. F.
Howe, Mrs. Dixon Williams. Mrs. L. H.
Andrews, Mrs. W. L. Bethnne, Mrs. C.
F. Barrett, Messrs. Ned Johnson and
Robert McComb.
Attendance.—E. J. Flemister, chair
man; J. L Sibley, vice; G. H. Tun-
uell W. H. Hunter, T. H. DeSaussure,
Mrs. J. W. McMillan, Mrs. lt. L. Hollo
way, Mrs. G. C. Smith, Mrs. Warren
Edwards, Mrs. J. T. Allen, Mrs. C. P.
Crawford, Misses Emma Haug and
Mary Brooks.

McComb, Miss Mary Andrews, Mrs. O.
M. Case, Mrs. G. D. Case, Mrs. R. T.
Baisdeu. Miss Emmie Carringtou, Mrs.
G. C. Smith, Miss Annie Case.
It is expected that each of these com
mittees will meet, at a very early date
and organize for earnest and aggres
sive work. The duties belonging to the
several departments will be stated at the
meeting of the committees.
Bringing Money lo Milledgeville.
It was a goodly sight to see in front of
Culver & Kidd’s store four large cases
containing 3,500 tin boxes each. These
boxes are used to pnt up Kidd’s Genuine
Liver Regulator in, and this is the fimt
shipment of ten thousand. They will
get another shipment Thursday.
This represents the bringing into our
town from other places many dollars.
Mr. Kidd tells us that they will be able
to bring in from other counties this year
twice as much money as they did last
year. The demand for their prepara
tions is not only increasing at home but
also away from home. Such enterprises
as this is wliat buildR up a town.
