A large body of representative men and women from the Methodist. Bap tist and Presbyterian churches met in the lectnre||room of the latter church Sunday afternoon, in a conference to devise the best methods to secure the greatest results from the great union meeting which begins iu this city next Sunday morning. The intense interest taken in the meeting Sunday afternoon wa9 an evi dence of the conscious need on the part of all our people of a revival that shall be of immense and lasting bene fit to every person and interst in the community. It is recognized that such a meeting as is contemplated will enlist the dor mant talent of the strong men in the city in the great work that needs to B done and can be done only by men. just now, throughout the country the Men and Religion Movement, that lias as its object the enlisting of men in good work of every character, has taken hold of the strong men of the natioD. The men of this community have recently been invited to join this country wide movement, and such a meeting will furnish the impulse -to make it a power locally. Also, the meeting contemplated will penetrate iujits influened the family life of our community, making it better and more wholesome, emphasizidg the responsibilities and duties of parents, and the corresponding duties of chil dren. Our great educational interests will likewise feel the bedeficient influ ence of a successful meeting. The yiung women and men wiio are here from a distance fnrnish our people an opportu nity to fix and ennoble character that should be a constant stimulus to those who have the future of our srate and country at heart. Nor will the busi ness interests fail to reap rich rewards from'a good meeting. The depression that has prevailed for some time in commercial circles may he traceable in no small part to the spirit of religious indifference that has taken hol'd of our people. Those who read history are well aware that commercial prosperity iuvariably, follows a renewing on the part of the people of God of their vows to him. Corresponding ndversity in variably follows religions laxity and godlessuess. Every man who has tried it has found that when he honors the God of harvests, the God of harvests rewards him. Tlte meeting of these earnest and strong men and women Sunday after noon was a recognition of these facts. F >r one hour and a half the meeting ! discussed and devised the best plans to | give tile greatest efficiency to the union meeting tiiat is imminent. It was announced bv the devotional ; committee, of which Rev. Elam F. Dempfev is the efficient chairman, that; a number of cottage piayer-meetings! were being planned for this week, in j various parts of the city. The executive ccmmittee was empow- j ered to secure the Palace Theater for a half liour’8 eervioe, from 11:80 to 131 each morning of the meeting, when the 1 evangelist will conduct a special sermon for business men. The music committee, whose chair man, Prof. H. J. Gaertuer, is out of the city, was authorized to select and have printed iu folio form at once about thirty gospel songs for use in the meet ing. This committee was also urged to organize a chorus of at least fifty voices this week. Every one who can sing at all is invited to volnnteei for this great chorus. Miss Harbison, the sweet singer that comes with the Indi an Evangelist, will arrive in the city next Saturday as will also the evange list. It was determined to take a collec tion at every evening service during the meeting for the purpose of defraying the incidental expenses of the meeting ihe evangelist asks np guarauiee of re muneration for himself further than his expenses from and to Now York City, and his entertainment while here. The singer will be paid twenty-fiye dollars per week, traveling expenses from Ken tucky and entertainment while here. Mr. J. E. Kidd suggested that it would be more pleasant and would also save expense if some of the homes of the community could be thrown open to these workers, or at least one of them. I Dr. Brannen will be glad to hear of any J who may volunteer to help tiie meeting WEDNESDAY’S PICTURE on The Palace Will Feature John Bunny and Miss Gardner.

Having to buy all my planting seed last year, I bought four varieties from select growers. The Poulnet from Jas. M. Smith, Smithsonia, Ga. The Toole from J. S. Nixon. Augusta, Ga. Cleveland Big Boll from H. P. Stenheiner. Brooks, Ga Broadwell Double Joint from E. S. Vinson, Millodge- ville, Ga. (Second Year from Broadwell.) We have reserved some of the best seed for planting ourposes which we wili sell for $1 per bushel. Planters wanting any of these varieties will please advise me right away. It will most assuredly pay to put $1 an acre in good seed. Broadwell is small boll, prolific and very early. Toole is small boll and medium in maturity. Cleveland Big Boll very easy to pick, has long staple. Poulnet is large boil and best storm resister of all. DIXON WILLIAMS or J. A. RAPE, Westbrook Farm, Meriwether. Ga. As the date for putting on Mrs. Hines’ play draws nearer, tiie people of tlm community manifest a grrat interest in the event. It is being more talked about than any play the club has ever under taken. The mystery that surrounds the play- the secrecy ou the part of tiie author and the players as to what it really is— has only served to raise curiosity to the highest pitch. In every social gathering, great or small—casual meeting on the street corner, or formal assembly at some function, the play—Mrs. Hines’ play-is ou every tongue. Well, the suspense will soon be over. Only a iesv days, and curiosity may be gratified. “The Widow’s Ruse” will no longer remain a puzzle. Butin the meantime author and play ers are enjoying the guessing of their friends, and are steadily declining to gratify excited curiosity—further than this: The play is a screaming farce- comedy whose jumble o£ fun and frolic is enough to keep a house full of Quak ers in a roar of laughter. Hut though the play itself is a great secret, the music that is to give it brill- iuit setting, is not. Except that fur- nished by the orchestra, under the di rection of Miss Bonuell, all the music (Continued ou last page) Do You Find it Difficult To Read By Artificial Light Or to sew?
