Gossip Gathered Every where in Rail-
road circles


In speaking of the South Alabama and
West Florida Road which is to connect
via Chipley with st. Andrews bay, the
Montgomery Advertiser says There is
not the slightest doubt that tne road WILL
be built If Montgomery will do her share.
Three hundred thousand dollars from this
town and section would make this road a
certainty, and it would increase Mont
gnmery's trade three 10 i've million dollars
year. The people along the proposed
route are enthusiastic in their support Of
the enterprise Five Of the citizens Of
China Grove. Pike county, say they Will
give $4,000 and guarantee 10000 bales Of
cotton 10 The new read; anu they are able

who is interested IN the road, that the
contracts for its construction had been
signed; that the new company had pur-
chased very large amount ofproperty ut

Entertainment Last Night.
The st. John the Baptist Total Absti-
nence and Benevolent Society gave It's
second free entertainment at Catholic
Library Hall last night. Despite
the fact that 200 or 800 addi-
tional seats had been provided,
large numbers were compelled to stand
during the entire evening. The pro-
gramme as announced in Sundays NEWS
was fully carried out. President n. f.
Thompson, in his salutatory, dwelt with
great earnestness on the danger which
attends the first drink, and eloquently de-
picted that true manhood which has the
courage to say "Now
Mr.. A. n. O'Keetfe was recalled after
his defamation with Introductory adj
dress, and recited a temperance poem
with good effect. Mr.. II. w. Readick,
following, sang Thou Art So Near and
Yet So Far" and on being recalled sang
'Ihen YOu'll Remember Me- with great
feeling. Mr.. G. p. ROssignOl, although an
old actor, made bis debut on the rostrum,
and was received with marked favor. he
was also recalled and responded with
recitation. Messrs. II. w. and Frank NJ.
Readick sang Millard's "Burial az Sea"
with wonderful pathos and effect, and
were forced to reappear and bow their ac-
acknowledgements of the hearty applause
which greeted them at its close.
President Thompson then introduced
his little son Balm, who recited "The
Drunkard's Dream" beautifully and effec-
lively, surprising the audience by his
elocuuOnary powers. A storm Of APP
plause rewarded him, and he responded
with a lively little poem, whose closing
lines suggested the prOpriety of giving a
little fellow like him a rest.
Mrs. Tybring followed and sang beauti-
fully to Prof AtkinsOn's accompaniment.
'.Reeclave MauresQue," and upon being
recalled sang, "We'd Better Bide a Wee"
which was very favOrably received.
Miss Nellie CircOpely sang "Alioe,
Where Art Thou" with great feeling and
expression, her pure, sweet tones being
very effective. She responded TO an enlhu-
slastic recall by singing "NOrlne."
The last number on the programme was
defamation by Mr.. T. b. Catherwood,
who gave John Sayage's "Shaun's Head"
powerful aud effective tragic poem.
Upon being recalled he suggested that
MIR. Thompson was In possession OF a let
ter from Rev. Father O'Brien, Of Wash
1ngton, the reading OF which would be of
more interest to the audience than further
remarks OF his.
President Thompson read the letter, one
OF thanks TO the society for its proposed
picnic for the benefit OF the orphans UNI
der the charge Of the reverend writer, az
ter which the audience dispersed, de-
Lighted with the evenings entertainment.

The Jewish Feast Of Weeks, one of the
three principal festivals Of the Jewish
Church, called in Greek and modern Ian
guages Pentecost, because it was cele-
brated on the fftieth day after the Feast of
the Passover, will begin this evening at
shutdown. It was originally called the
feast Of Weeks" because il was cele-
brated seven weeks after the 10th dav
of the Mosaic Calendar Nissan. Among
the Jews II was the feast Ofthe first fruits
of the harvest, and was regarded as the
elimination Of the cOnsecrated sea-
son, and was characterized by
h0spitable liberality and remem-
brance Of the poor. In later times
It has been kept as the cOmmemora-
tion Of the revelation of the law on
Sinai, Of which IL is the an
niversary. The festival was also, in the
early ages, one Of the lavorite seasons for
administering baptism; and those who
received it were clothed in white, 10
symbolic the spiritual purity which
baptism cOnfers. The dav is
likewise observed as a festival
in the Christian Church, and among Latin
aud Greek Christians ranks next TO
Easter. Services will be held In the syna-
gogues. An places OF Jewish worship
will be appropriately decorated with
flowers.

nah boards, and the third TO be selected
by the stage manager ana business mana
ger. Other details of the seasons bust
ness were also left to those officers.
After the meeting Mr.. Neill hv request,
read his play, the reading of which occu-
pied about an hour and a half. The
scenes il the play are located at Tallulah
Falls and in the adjacent mountains. The
plot combines a sad narrative Of an incl
dent Of the late war with a romantic episode
OF later years. The plot is closely inter
woven with striking incidents of domes-
tic life and the rude homes of the moon
sinners of the Blue Ridge. in which ro-
nance. love and strife combine to keepup
an absorbing interest from the beginning
