SERVICES AT IDE
Large Crowds Attending and in
terest At Height as Meeting
Draws to a Close.
In many respects the greatest re
ligious services in the history of the
city are in progress this week at the
Baptist church.
This is tlie third and last week of the
services. They have been held pre
viously at the Methodist and Presby
terian churches, and the interest has
been of unusual intensity from the very
first service.
Rev. Frank Wright is a preacher of
wonderful power. He presents tho gos
pel in a most convincing manner, and
quotes scripture with an ease that is sel
dom witnessed. There is nothing sen
sational in his manner, yet he has that
power to Bold the attention of his
hearers, and impress them witli his
utterances. He presents tlie trntli sn a
magnetic way, which has resulted in
winning the attention and consideration
of the people of this city. In spite of
tho inclement weather the attendance
lias been large, and the churches have
been filled to overflowing. Sunday
night the Baptist church was filled, and
many were notable to securo entrance.
Tlio singing of both Mr. vVright and
Miss Harbison has been thoroughly
enjoyed. Both of them possess voices
of sweetness and clearness.
On Sunday afternoon Mr. Wright
preached to the colored people at the
African Methodisi church, and later in
the afternoon held services at tlie G. N.
& I. College. On Monday morning ho
visited the G. M. College, and talked to
the stndants of that institution.
Services this week at 4:00 and 7:00
o’clock p. m. at the Baptist cliurch.
SEWERS TO DE LAID
SODIH PART OF CITY
City Council at Meeting Thursday
Night Decided to Do This
Important Work.
The sewerage system will be ex
tended through the southern section
of the city. This was positively de
cided upon at the meeting of the city
council held Thursday night.
Mayor Bell stated to tho members
of tlie council that lie he had given
the subject of laying sewers in the
southern section of the city much
thought, and had Prof. J 0. M, Cone to
make a survey and estimate. He
thought that this work should be
done, as the people of that section
were entitled to sewers, as much so
as the people residing in other sections
of the city. Tho taxation was just as
heavy upon them as it was upon the
property owners of other sections of
city, where sewers had previously
been laid. He suggested that the
eouncil take the matter up for con
sideration at once.
Tlie members of council agreed
with the mayor and decided that the
work should be commenced and com
pleted at as early la date as possible.
Bids will lie received for the piping
and it is expected that tlie work will
b&jcommenced at once. The sewers
will lie laid by the street force, under
the supervision of Overseer Thomas
and Prof. O. M. Cone, directed by
Mayor Bell, Aldermen Bloodwortli,
Schell, and Barrett,

0ur Spring suit from at ©so. W,
it's,
Atlanta, Ga.—With the approach.of
warm weather, Pure Food Inspector
Methviu 1ms sent- warnings to all the
feed dealers throughout the state and to
the feed dealers who expect to ship
Western corn into Georgia, that they
must take care that no damp corn is of
fered for sale in this state.
It- has developed in other Southern
states that a disease very similar to the
pellagra of the human family has been
caused among live stock which have
beeu fed corn Jvvhich was too damp for
consumption,
Last year live sto n k owners anil cattle |
dealers complained repeatedly to tlie!
Department of Agriculture that thei
stock were suffering from damp corn
which had been shipped info tin? state
from tlie West. As a result tills timely
warning against such shipments has
heeu sent out.
Live stock owners and cattle dealers
tlirougliouc tlie South are repeatedly
turning from imported cereals and feed
ing their live stock domestic cotton Beed
meal, which is richer in food value and
less expmsive and better than all is not
dangerous to the animals fed.
It is understood that the United
States Department of Agriculture wil
soon investigate the animal sickness
oau^«l by being fed damaged corn with
a view to getting up a cure for it.
A New Railroad
The Carey North and South rail
road is headed towardsMilledgeville,
this city having been named as the
terminus.
The charter has been amended so
as to incsease the capital stock from
to $500,000.00, and to ex-
cad from Danville through
Wilkinson county and through Bald
win to Milledgeville,
A survey of this road has already
been made, and the prospects are
promising that it will be built.
The people ol Milledgeville and
Baldwin County should meet the
promoters of this road with enthusi
asm and with tlie determination
that it shall be built.
This read will open new territory
to this city, and, we believe, it will
prove of great force in developing
the section through which it passes
It takes co-operation to build rail-
uoacs. and our citizens should get
behind ibis enterprise.
