SOCIETY IN ATHENS.
From The Lon don Standard

Athens has society at this time of year, and
very little at any other. In ancient days tile people
were not gwen TO social festiylty. Living IN the

counts for the singular fact that scarcely any re-
mains of private dwellings have been unearthed.
Their houses unimpUrtant. but, on the other
hand their outdoor pleasures had no end. One

How Watches are Made.

III will lie apparent to any one who will
IL examine Il SOLID GOLD WATCH, that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, large prOpor-
ton of the precious metal used, Is need
ed only to stitfeu and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the ncces-
sary solidity and strength. The surplus
gold is actually needless SO far as UTILI-
TY and beauty are concerned. In JAMES
BOSS PATEN GOLD WATCH CASES
this waste of precious metal is overcome,
and the SAME SOLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced ut from One-third to one-half
of the usual cost of solid cases. The pro-
cess Is of the most simple nature, as tol-
lows: plate Of nickle composition met
81, specially adapted to the purpose, has
two plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one
on each side. The three ure then passed
between polished steel rollers, and the
result Is strip of heavy plated compost
ton, from which the cases, backs, CEN
tres, bezels, &oc.. are cut and shaped by
suitable dies and formers. The gold in
these cases is sufficiently thick to admit
of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have
been carried until worn perfectly
smooth by time and use without remoY-
ing the gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD

afternoon last at o'clock, with a
score of 36 to 35 in favor of the

our boys having been defeated in the

tates a third game TO decide the con-
test. Quite number of our citizens
attended, both ladies and gentlem en- :,
and as consequence the playing was
splendid and exciting, first one club
and then the other being ahead, and
when the score Of one in favor Of our

In the afternoon, ",Association
work in small towns" was taken up
by Mr.. w. A. Belts, who proved
himself to be an experienced labore1
in this part of the Masters vineyard.
"Making Association Meetings Atfec.
tive" was the subject Of most inter.
esting and instructive addresses by
Mr.. Geo. NJ. Rumph and DR.. VIM.
M. Shuler.
"What can be done for boys in
small town" filled up the evening hour
and was made source of very pre-.
cious instruction by Rev. L. f. Kist-
Ter.
At nine o'clock on Sunday morning
Mr.. W. A. Belts conducted a second
Bible reading, taking for his subject
"Christian work and Its rewards. "
This was one of the most interesting
services Of the Convention.
In the afternoon Mr.. L. B. Haynes
took charge of the Sunday School,
and by easy transitions lead the lit
tic ones from the creation of heaven
and earth to man, and then to the
subject Of the lesson. This service
was Intensely interesting, and the
children of St. Georges will long
hold in | leasant M emory Mr.. Haynes
and his inimitable' mode of conduct
ing Sunday Schools. Immediately
after the conclusion of the Sunday
School services, Rev. Z. +. Kistler
delivered to very large congrcga-
ton one Of the most fcelingly instruc-
tive and strengthening discourses to
which we have ever listened. The
sermon was designed manly for
young men but was eminently appro-
pirate and profitable to every one
who heard it.
In the evening, a praise meeting
was conducted bX Mr.. f. S. Dibble.
After the praise. .Ynecting there was
conservation service, in which every
member took part. So completely
full Of scriptural enjoyment was this
last service that every one felt its
strengthening influence upon his
heart, and in the,grasp of the hand
pledged anew his energies and talents
to the Masters service. It was in
deed conservation service and end
ed with copious outpouring CT the
blessing of God upon every one in
the large congregation. Then came
the hour Of parting, when quite n
number Of delegates made farewell
speeches. The place Of next meeting
was left in the hnnds Of the Executive
Committee.

with the following officers: L. b.
Haynes, President Geo. NJ. Rumph
and A. l.. Yates, Vice Presidents !;
f. S. Dibble, Secretary. The organ
ization being completed the Conven-
ton at once entered upon such pre-.
liminary arrangements as were deen,-
ed necessary for pleasant and pro-
fitable session. A Bible reading,
"What the Bible says of ITSELF" con-
Quoted by L. B. Haynes, constituted
the devotional services for Saturday
morning, and proved to be most in
teresting and iustructiYe OCCASION.
This feature Of Bible study being new
in this community, was very attrao
tive, and will possibly be profltably
introduced as a material part OF
christian work in the St. Georges
Association, which is now in q most
hourishing condition.
The first subject for discussion
"How TO study the Bible," was then
called up and discussed at length by
MIR. A. L. Yates and DR.. J. L. Mcllard
and afterwards by several members
of the Convention in short speeches
"How to teach the Biblc," the next
subject, was ably treated by DR.. r.
Fl. Abbott and Mr.. f. S. Dibble, and
others, who presented the subject in 6
