THE EXERCISES YESTERDAY A Pit Climax to the Splendid Session—Everyone Pleased With the Work of the Convention. The twentieth annual aeaaion of the Georgia State Sunday School Associa tion oloeed last night at the First Meth odist oburch in the presence of a large and interested audience. And according to the ideas of all the delegates to the convention a more com plete success has never been known in She annals of the association. Everybody seemed delighted* with their entertainment, and certain it is that the presence of so many earnest and devoted workers in the cause cf Christ has exerted a highly benefioial influence upon this community. Yesterday morning at nine o’clock the devotional exercises were led by Rev. M. A. Matthews, followed by a conference of county presidents, led by Mr Fred T. Lockhart. The address of Mr. V. L. Stanton, of Waycroas, Ga., upon the subject, “The Value of Little Things in the Home Life of Our Children,” was one of rare merit and instruction. The address of Rev. James Wood Pogue, of Tallapoosa, Oa, upon th< subject, “The Power of Daniel’s Life in History,” was one of the events of the session. It was one of the most powerful and scholarly addresses ever delivered in Athens. Rev. S. R. Bulk then gave a delight ful lecture, which closed the exercises of the morning. The resolution introduced Thursday afternoon protesting against the open ing of the gates of the World’s Fair on Sundays was carried, and the conven tion plabed itself on rtcord on th.t important question. At three o’clock in the afternoon the house was packed with people. Fully half of them were little folks, member.- of the different Sunday Schools of Ath ens. It was an impressive sight and one that touched every heart in that presence. Mrs. Mary J. Sherrill delivered an address on the subject, “How to Teach Bible Truths to Little People,” and the little folks present were fciguly inter ested in all that was said. So clear, plain, interesting, impressive were the truths that she uttered that each little child paid the strictest attention for over half an boar. Then Mr. R. B. Reppard closed the afternoon meeting with a talk of ex ceeding merit and force to the little children. Jnst before the benediction was pro nounced, each little one went fprward with a small bouquet of flowers and placed it at the feet of Mrs. Sherrill in token of their rppreoiation of her lec ture to them. This was a beautiful part of the programme, and Mrs. Sherrill very tenderly returned appropriate thanks. The feature of the convention last night was the able and interesting ad dress of, Mr. Asa G. Candler. The subjeot discussed was “The Snnday School as an Auxiliary to the Church.” No abler paper has been written upon Sunday School work than the one by Mr. Candler. It covered the whole ground, exhaustively and brilliantly* By resolution the address was ordered reproduced in Mr. Sweat’s Waycrots Sunday School paper, and 10,000 copies distributed over the state. A resolution was adopted pledging the support of the Sunday school workers of the state to the efforts of the ministers in the suppression of ger- mans, a certain class of stage perform' anoes and other wordly amusements. A number of short, interesting talks were made on various subjects. The oonveution adjourned, leaving the selection of the next meeting plaoe to the executive committee. ATUca Musical treat, Was the Conceit -Given by mi Vr<' Melt's PupMs. The brilliant suoceas which has al ways attended the annual concert given by the Misaea Mali, succeeded last night in drawing the largest audience ever assembled in the city. Standing room oould not be obtained, and quite a number were compelled to leave. The entertainment was simply mag nificent and was highly enjoyad by the select and appreciative audience pres ent. The selections rendered were fine and the performers acquitted them selves with taste and skill that shows study and culture and gives promise of rare excellency.

Tuck was interviewed yesterday in regard to sale of drags by the drugstores on Sunday daring church hours. “I was surprised to see theaconunt of my action in this matter salt appear ed in the Banner. The Banner arti cle was a mistake in that it said no drugs can be sold hereafter on Sundays daring church hours. The law I am carrying oat is simply the law of the State and any Christian community should uphold it. It provides that no cigars, tobacco, soda water or the like shall be sold at any hoar on Sundays. Of ooorse prescriptions can be filled by the'druggist cloeing his doors behind him when he goes in to fix up themed icine. And this part is applicable dur ing the church hoars, while the other is an ell day business and an absolute prohibition.” The views of Mayor Tnck are sound upon the subject.

THE PEOPLE ARE BLURS And Their Desires in the Matter Should Always be Paramount—No Bull Pens in Georgia. Fresh eggs, best Fries of the season, Fat Hens, Canvassed Hams and fresh lot Crackers at Wilson’s Cash Store. A few months sines it was noised around through Georgia that the politi cians has made up a state oft ffi sen and had every campaign cut and dried for years to come. This at once raised a merited storm of indignation throughout Gsorgia, and the people went to work to fetretoul -.he truth in regard to the statement They did this for a reason. If there ire any people on earth who dispiae ring rale or bossism they live in Geor gia. and consequently they have the wonld-be state-makers on the list. They are determined to break that state and when they do several of the leading politicians in Georgia are going to the bottom of the ditoh. The Geor gia colonels at Washington are mighty smart fellows, and think they can drive the people along in any direction they piei8e but the people the reins them selves occasionally. The peoples are the rulers and their wishes should be paramount always No bull pens will be tolerated in Geor gia f r her soverigu vjtess are going to have their way. Thu is true in politics and it is like wise true in business. The people are going to have what they want to eat and wear if money will buy it and they have the money. Some will have the artioles, money or not. They set the fashions and jiut in proportion as goods, are demanded so will the alert "mer chant bring his stock into a city for sale. There may be a state to be broken in politics, but in the clothing bnsiness, J. J. C. McMahan has already smashed the state into a thousand pieces. The people’s wishes have been re spected by him and everything to suit their tastea has been laid upon his counters. Gents’ and boy*’ Clothing of the best quality and latest styles—just what the men and boys wish in order to be up with the procefsion. Negilgee shirts in hot weather and oool. Underslothing beneath scorching suns are what the Athenian man and boy needs now. So if you want to be suited in every- thiyg pertaining to Gents’ Clothing or Furnishing Goods, go to J J. C. Mc Mahan’s store on Clayton street where you will receive prompt and polite attention and splendid bargains. But the Joke Turns Cut toba a Stern Reality—Proceedings for Dlvo ce. Warsaw. Ind., M&t 20 —The fool hardy practice of m -ft marriage has been illustrated la this city. A mar riage contract signed in fun appears likely to cause much trouble and em barrassment to Chauncey Hawkins and Miss Lulu Ds May, two of Warsaw’s most prominant young sooiety people. At a large party in an arlsteorato man sion a couple of evenings s'noe fan and merriment and practical joking -were unrestrained Someone suggested that there should be a marriage, and a young lawyer, who was one of the guests, sat down and drew up a mar riage contraot. Then signers were looked for, and in the prevailing hilar ity the above named young people were soon found and carelesaly attached their signatures to the document. Smral others signed as witnesses and no more was thought of it until the young lady returned home and told her parents of “the joke.” Her father was concerned about the matter and the next day sought the lawyer who had the oontraot in his possession. On examining it and consulting the marriage laws of the state they found that the lawyer had unwittingly made the oontraot a valid marriage. Both parties to it insist that they had only signed in fun and had no idea that they were being really mar ried. But the law takes no account ot inadverteooe and the oontraot will hold good until it is dissolved by legal pro cess. Consequently suit for divorce was today instituted by the young lady. Every lady in Athens is requested to call *t the store of E. E. Jones A Co. and see the Beveridge Steam Cooker. It is the greatest labor saving device known to housekeep rs.

The en tertainment was splendid from the be ginning, and drew an immense crowd, that found room and welcome in the hospitable homes of this people. The crowning feature of the occasion was the annual address delivered yes terday by Morgan H. Looney For an hour and a hall the speaker held an immense audience almost breathless in interest. The address was a masterly blending of the beautiful with the sub lime, the fact with the figure, and one of the very finest efforts ever made in iiterary circles of the state. The speech of Mr Park waa received by a large and appreciative audience. The speech was in every sense an elo quent and pretty one.

RIFLED BY ROBBERS. A Missouri PaDtflc Train Held up by Bandits. St. Louis, Mo , May 24.—The west bound Missouri Pacific passenger train was held np end robbed 30 miles west of St. Louis tonight, by six men. Over $5,000 was secured, the express and railway officials ssy. The amount obtained was probably in excess of their estimate. The train left St LouiB for Kansas City at 8:40, reaohed Pacific station, 25 miles west, on time, and without accident. It was afterward learned that a man boarded the train in front of the express car there, and immediately on the other side of the Paoifio, about a mile or so, this person climbed over the tender, and holding a revolver at the engineer’s head, syid: “’Twill be d—d healthy for you to stop here right now.” The engineer stopped. Five confed erates of the robber now appeared, some getting off the train, others oom- lng down the traok from the adjoining fields. Without any preliminary service the door of the express cur was blown open with dynamite. The men, who were unmasked, entered the oar, and going to the express safe sc cared about $2 500 in cash, and a package valued at $3,000 by the Pacifio Express Company. The engineer was then told to “Go ahead like h—1, and maee np the lost time.” None of the passengers were bothered.
