Nahum'S sage remark was far too
weighty for immediate discussion.
'"The time l clipped up the elm trees

my self-esteem than most anything

He rose cautiously and peeled round
the corner of the barn to assure him

nearer to his Mstent 5, and began

DIR. HAMMoND's SERVICES.
His Talk at the Independent Church
To-day's Services.

The second of Rev. Z. P. Hammond's
revival services at the Independent Pres
byterian church yesterday afternoon.
was attended by large number of people.
DIR. Hammond does not confne himself
to any particular subject, his remarks
being of general nature. He speaks in
a plain everyday language, that make his
hearers feel perfectly at home. In ad
dressing children, he uses the illustrative
method, speaking, as it were, in parallels,
which appeals directly to them.
His remarks were interspersed with
stories Of conversions, which,
told in the manner peculiar
TO him, were impressive. Among them he
repeated one which he told in Atlanta
last week: the story Of the Gypsy girl and
Stern berg, the painter. The girl was en-
gagged by the artist 10 sit for a picture,
and one day, while in his studio, she no
ticed a painting of Christ, on which Stern.
berg was at work. Her curiosity was
aroused, and she was converted This
picture was destroyed by Sternberg but
another Christ Cruciied" was executed
by him and hangs in the Dusseldorf gal
lery.
In the course of the service, Rev. DIR.
Vass offered a prayer, and Rev. Dripps,
pastor of the church, also made short
talk. Hymns of DIR. Hammond's compost
ton were sung by the congregation, the
church choir leading. After the services
a Sunday school class was organized
among the children present, the members
were questioned on the talk they had
heard, and such parts as were not under
stood were fully explained.
DIR. Hammond will preach at Wesley Mon
umental church at II o'clock this morn
ing. There will be a mass meeting for
children and young people this afternoon
at 3: AS o'clock, conducted by DR.. Ham
Rev. c. Z. bowman will preach a sermon
on temperance, by request of the order Of
Rechabites, who will attend in body.
The sermon will be an appeal for total
abstinence, with arguments addressed
particularly to working men

A THANKSGIVING DINNER.
One of the Finest Spreads Ever Seen
in Savannah.

"Only turkey"
OF course the turkey comes first.
Thanksgiving dinners would be naught
without the turkey. Most Americans have
turkey for dinner, at least once year,
and Thanksgiving is the day All in
habitants of the union, at least think of
turkey, if they cannot get it. Those who
can have turkey or anything else they
desire. are not so particular about even
thinking about the great dinner before it
is spread before them on the day of
Thanksgiving They can get wild geese
and ducks, and venison, or prairie fowls.
They enjoy all of the delicacies OF the
season, while others are graciously Civ
ing thanks because they can afford a good
beef steak.
Everybody must eat, however, and
some one must prepare for them The
lot of preparation falls upon the leading
butcher of the town. His name is Logan.
He does his duty to his customers and
none need complain, for they can get any
thing and everything they want at his es-
adjustment, for he caters to the wants
of all
It's good plan to arrange for Thanks
giving's dinner few days ahead So
send in your orders as early as possible.

Migrants are lodged in the barracks, and
will appear before the recorder Monday

The crowd is the one that persists in
loafng around the market, especially Sat
urday nights, and often stirs up quarrels
and broils sometimes with serious results.
Last night they were particularly noisy
and boisterous, and two wagon loads OF
them were taken into the barracks
There was just an even dozen of them,
and they will make valuable chain-gan
recruits. which are much in need Just at
the. present time.
Detective Bossell also arrested Charles
II. Ebbs. a porter in the office of w. w.
Gordon Il Co., and John Maxwell, who
worked also in that capacity at Messrs
Dwelle, Cam & Daniels They are
charged with the larceny of cotton sam
Piles from the ONCE of Messrs. w. w Cor
don & Co.. and the thefts are supposed to
have been going on for some time. A few
days ago Maxwell was caught coming out
of the Office with a basket of cotton sam
pies and was ordered 10 take it back. An
investigation showed that this thing had
been going on for some time and that a
BDou zeal "a Tue COtIou Adu DSen taken
out. Ebbs, it was believed, was impli-
Gated in some manner or other, and both
were arrested. They have been turned
over to the city court on charge Of lar
ceny from the house. Ebbs Is deacon in
Pastor Loves church.
Marks Gabriel was also arrested by
Detective Bossell for stealing three over

turned to them by Kassels, and the third

The privileges of the Wheelmen's track
have been extended both men. and they
are now IN active training. Albert is
anxious to make go for the 100-mile
track record if he can secure PAGERS.
That is a difficult matter, however, as
most of the local riders are
members of the League of American
Wheelmen and would be barred from
membership by pacing a professional.
Martin will pace the greater part of the
distance if other PAGERS can be secured.
Both Albert and Martin are in excellent
condition. They made the run from New
York to Philadelphia over the Century
route, then by the Lancaster turn
pike to Gettysburg, then south
TO Baltimore and Washington and from
there to Richmond and Petersburg. Al
bert is riding twenty-five pound wheel
and Martin a twenty-five pound. When
within two miles of Petersburg they had
their first accident. The tire Of Martins
wheel burst. The trip across
North Carolina was made by rail and
most of the distance to Savannah. 1t
was found that the trip to Mexico was too
long, and could not be made in time to re-
turn to New York for the Madison Square
Garden races, and for that reason it was
abandoned.
