East Athens Notes
The revival services at the East
Athens Baptist church have closed.
This has been one of the most
profitable meetings held in this
city for many years, the whole
churoh was revived and many
souls were saved and brought into
the knowledge of the truth as it it
in Christ our Lord. There are
now sixteen awaiting baptism,
besides some who will doubtless
connect themselves with other
eburehes of their ohoiee. The
preaohing that has been done by
the pastor, Rev. Willie Save, bos
been very powerful. We believe
that he is a preacher that God has
raised up among ue to preach the
gospel to his own people for the
power and magnetism that he has
over the young people could not
;gome from other sources except
'the mighty hand of the Great God
of heaven and earth.
down as a paliation for this great
monster that is hugged so close'
ly by the church people.
The poor boys who drink
must take the blue steel, and the
others more able get the best.
We-insist that beer saloons
would be a thousand times pre
ferable to this poisonous stuff.
And then the dispensary, at
commencement and other big
times causes prominent officials,
hurchmen and citizens to rent
rooms, fill it with beer and whis-
ey, issue tickets to themselves,
and friends end have all they
want.
It is rapidly degrading our
and the quicker we get rid
it, the better.

It is witli regrets that we must

the morning train on the Central
road, which will take effect Sun
day, and of course the cheap
Sunday rate to Macon.
This comes as a surprise to
ous people, as from every source

train was paying handsomely.
It was a great convenience Jp

take up the railroad authorities
and endeavor to have the train
replaced. It looks like a step
backwards.

The Bathing Pool
Is Now the Center of At
traction in Athens.
Nearly every afternoon the
grounds at the Lakeside bathing
pool are oovered with people,
from fiOO to 1000 being present
and the pond is full of bathers—
ladies and gentlemen both taking
advantage of the beautifully clear
water. It. has been vastly improv
ed and will be more and more.
It is a splendid resort and’ we de
sire to see it do well. Let the peo
ple go over and enjoy it.
The government fishery ear will
be in Athens in a few days and
will stock the pond at Lakeside
with blaek bass, a game fish.

tained some severe bruises, but
we hope it will not prove serious.
The Bumble Bee did not make its
appearance this time. The streu-

thatsall. Wo suppose they agreed
not to do so again. Suoh is life.

The burning of the negro rapist
at the stake in Wilmington, Del.,

clearer the fact that human nature
is about the same whether in the
north or in the south. The dif
ference is that we plant trees down
south to hang ’em on and the
Standard Oil Co., makes the oil
with which they are saturated to
be burned in the north. Tbie is
an unpardonable crime, and the

commits it may expeot a speedy

seems that even that won’t stop
tbe crime. The north must stop
its mouth now.
