WESLEY MISSIONS ANNIVERSARY
The Little Society Doing IA Quiet But
Noble Work.

Wesley Mission Sunday school held its
anniversary exercises night before last at
the mission at Habersham and Third
streets. This is the mission that is under
the charge of Grace Methodist church, and
it has grown considerably within the last
year. The programme consisted of music
and recitations together with the regular
annual reports of the officers.
Among the very excellent recitations rem
dered were Our Anniversary" by Mamie
Tharin, IF You Want to be Loved by
Mona Clark, Golden Keys by Maggie
May Henry, Jesus Loves Me-" by u boys
and girls, and Now 1 Lay Me-" by Josie
Brady. The prayer and scripture reading
were by Rev. j. NJ. Lovett The music
which was a most excellent feature of the
programme was led by Mr.. J. h. Benson.
The report of superintendent J. n. Nc
ellis showed that the school had SO men,
bers of whom five are officers and eight
teachers, leaving 81 scholars. The mission
is doing some good work out in that section
and deserves much encoura cement.

A FREAK IN MELONS.
A Curiosity From a screven County
Fnrm.


A most peculiar curiosity in the shape of
a watermelon was brought into the Morn
ing News office yesterday from Screven
county by Mr.. T. A. Brewer.
The melon was grown on the farm Of
Mr.. w. H. Cooper of Dover. With the ex-
ception of a small strip of the rind of the
melon, which was of the regulation mot
tied green color, the melon was as yellow
as pumpkin. The melon grew, too, right
out in the open field, and under the full
glow of the summer sun. 1t seemed, how
ever, to desire an individuality of its own
and it grew different from the other mel
ons.
The color was between that of an orange
and lemon. The small strip of the rind
which had the regular color of the water
melon was raised slightly above the rest
of the rind, and instead of being on the
top of the melon where the sun struck it,
was under one side and near where n
rested on the ground. The leaf of the
vine on which the melon grew was very
similar in color to that of the melon part
of it, being green and the rest yellow.
The only thing the Morning News staff
regretted about the matter was that the
melon was not quite ripe All Of this goes
to show that Screven county is capable of
starting up a curiosity now and then.

THE cHATHAMs NEW OFFICERS.
They VIII he Elected by the Com
pany Next Week.

The Chatham Artillery viii hold an
election for captain and lieutenants at
their armory han next Wednesday night.
The order for the election was received
yesterday from the adjutant generals Of
nee by Lieut.. George z. Walker. who IS
now in command Of the company.
The election viii be held between the
hours OF p. m. and 10 p. m The election
/ ordered by the governor Is for captain
only At the same time and place, how
ever, an election has been ordered by the
commanding officer for a FIRST lieutenant
TO iii the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of First Lieut.. X. r. Harmon. and
also for any other vacancy that may re-
suit from the election. Capt. Brooks Of
the Cadets and Capt. Williamson Of Com
pany A Of the Guards viii preside.
No preliminary election has Yet been
held by the company 10 decide upon can
didates for the coming election, as Is
customary IN such cases. a meeting OF
the company has been ordered for Mon
day night. however, at which this sub
ject is certain 10 come up for discussion.
The members Of the company have eau
cussed. however, and It is pretty well
understood who the new officers Of the
company viii be. The slate Is as follows:
Captain-George 2. Walker.
First heutenant-W. q. Cam.
Second Heutenant-J. A. G.. Carson.
Under the present arrangement the
Chathams have three lieutenants, two OF
whom are known as first lieutenants. The
reorganization will probably do away with
this order. Second Lieut.. J. r. Saussy,
has announced his intention of hand
ing in his resignation as soon as the
successors to the officers who have al
ready resigned are elected. This Will re-
quire the election of junior second lieu
tenant. Sergts. II. $. Dreese and Armand
Palmer are both spoken OF as successors
to Lieut.. Saussy, but the members of the
company have not discussed the matter
of filling the third vacancy to any extent
as yet.
The election of the new officers will
practically complete the reorganization
of the company which has been going on
for some time. The membership roll has
changed greatly within the last few
months many Of the old members going
on the retired list and their places taken
by younger men. There are now forty
one enlisted men on the roll, besides a
good many more, whose enlistments have
expired, number of whom will re-enlist.
The company spirit is very active and
there is an evident determination to get
out Of the old ruts and into the front
ranks of efficiency where the corps prop
erly belongs. A strong effort will be
made to secure proper recognition from
the state in this effort.
The Chathams are equipped entirely
with their own property and have not a
dollars worth of material belonging to
the state. The last meeting of the state
advisory board promised them a Maxim
gun, since which time nothing further has
been heard from it, The company has
been for several years endeavoring to Sc
cure a battery of modern field guns OF
which 1t is very much in need, in order
that the men may acquire the knowledge
of handling and firing these guns.

PREPARING FOR THE COLONIsTs.
$4,000 of Them to settle in wilcox
and Irwin.

and Irwin.
Plans and preparations are being made
for the reception of the colonists who will
come from the west to settle in Wilcox
and Irwin counties, in Southwest Geor-
gia. MIR. w. r. Leaken is just back from
business trip TO Albany, and while there
he talked with Mr.. l.. Il. Wech, who is
the agent there for the immigration COM
pany. which is just now concentrating its
scheme for the colonization of about 80, 600
people in that section.
The company has purchased about $780,,
900 acres Of land in those two counties,
in the angle between the Georgia South
ern and Florida and the Savannah, Amer
icus and Montgomery railroads, and en-
gineers have already been put TO work
to lay 1t off in lots. The land, it is stated,
will be laid off in town lots and farm
lots. just as Savannah was originally laid
out.
The Morning News has already given
an account of this purchase of land in
that section of the state and the move
ment to bring down colonists from the
west. Mr.. =. H. Fitzgerald, who is at
the head of the company, was down there
day or two ago, and was highly salts
fled with the section in which the land
has been secured.
The 10000 heads Of families who are to set
tie there will begin to leave their homes
in the west by Sept. /, and some of them
will come by wagon while the majority of
them will make the trip by rail- 1t is ex-
pected that they will all be located in their
new homes by October.
The land which they have purchased is
in one of the finest fruit growing sections
anywhere in the south. 1t is a soil which
is peculiarly adapted to fruit culture, and
il is expected that the immigrants will
turn their attention largely to this indus
try.
The colonists have all their plans laid for
starting their community They will have
their own stores and storekeepers, and
their own newspaper They are all indus
trious hard working people, and in fact
no other kind were wanted or sought for
the community.
There win be another colony established
in Worth county by people also from the
west within a short time. This, however,
will be a much smaller colony, and it is eX-
pected that only about 5000 acres will be
purchased. Arrangements are being made
in this colony for about 500 people. The
location has not been definitely determined
on, but it will be in Worth county near
Triton.

The Cotton States and International Ex-
position will long be remembered by all
who see it as the greatest exposition the
south has ever seen. Those who do not
see it will depend upon such records as
may be left of its artistic beauty and sub
stantial evidences of the progress that the
south and its people have made during the
past century. Such a work is now being
compiled by the Southern States Pub
fishing Company. A book showing the past
progress or the south, recording the eX-
position itself. with beautiful half-tone
engravings of it's buildings and photo
graphs of its leading promoters and of the
leading people of the southern states, with
biographical sketches of them, also ac-
counts of the leading institutions of the
south, its manufactures, etc, and will be
of interest to all. The Cotton States and
International Exposition and South Illus
trated, matter for which Is now being COM
piled by the Southern States Publishing
Company, will be the publication descrip-
tive of the south, its exposition, people and
resources with the finest character of en-
cravings printed upon the finest enameled
paper and bound In handsome morocco
covers, with gilt edges. The work itself
VIII be substantial illustration of the
progress of the SOUTH The work upon IL
being all done in the SOUTH it deserves to
be favorably considered by the people of
the south in preference to foreign pubIica-
tons. THE Cotton States and Interna-
tional Exposition and South Illustrated
will be the representative book of the
south. 1t is not only of the south. but for
the south and by the south. The leading
people of the south are in it. The repre-
sentatives of the above company are now
in the city and will wait upon its leading
citizens and explain the motive of the
work.-ad.

MADE BELIEVE SHE TOOK POISON
Lillian Clayton Gets Good Dosing
on Account of Ii.

on Account of IL.
Lillian Clayton. a well known member
of the demimonde. living on Wayne street,
near Jefferson. created some excitement in
that neighborhood yesterday afternoon by
a pretended attempt at suicide. Jealousy
of another woman. who had stolen her
lover from her. was the cause of the
make-believe.
The other inmates of the house thought
she had taken laudanum or rough on rats.
and after Intellectual attempts TO revive
her, began to look for physician Word
was brought to DR.. ]. ID. Persse, at his
drug store near by. that the woman had
poisoned herself. and he hurried over,
equipped with various remedies, usual in
such cases. He found the woman in a
stupor apparently, though the pulse was
found to be normal and there were no
signs of opium poisoning.
DR.. B. F. Sheftall came in shortly after
ward and set to work with DR.. Persse to
revive the woman. A hypodermic injec-
ton was administered causing the woman
20 vomit and giving evidence that no in
ternal poison had been taken.
The young man who was the cause of
1illian's SORROWS came in while the ply
sicians were ait work. and his presence
seemed to have a greater effect in re-
vivng her than the efforts of the physi-
clans, and Lillian was herself again in a
very short while

MUST OBEY THE LAWS.
Penalties For Violating the sanitary
Ordinances.

=
Ordinances.
Mrs. Jennie Friedman was fined 50 by
Recorder Wilson yesterday morning for
having her premises at No. 226 Bryan
street in a filthy and unsanitary condi-
ton and falling to comply with the ordi-
nances after having been notified to do
so by the inspectors. The charges were
made by Inspector W. H. Wall.
Max Wilensky, No. 191 Harris street
was fined 50 on a similar charge prefer
red by Inspector Peck.
Mr. w. H. Connepat, against whom a
similar charge had been made by Inspec-
tor G. w. Allen, for unsanitary condition
of vault on his premises at No. 50 Mont
gomery street, was not fined as he stated
that he had given orders to have the COM
plant remedied
The inspectors have been very forbear-
ing with people who show an inclination
to disobey the sanitary ordinances, and it
is only when positive intention not 20
comply with the requirements is shown
that cases are made against citizens by
the inspectors. There are a great many
people, however who do not seem to
comprehend that it is necessary for them
to comply with the ordinances and who
treat the notices given by the inspectors
with contempt
The inspectors have great deal to con-
tend with. Frequently the tenant throws
the responsibility on the owners agent
and the agent lays 1t to the owner, who
is likely 10 be out of town and so the evil
goes unremedied. The rule of the depart
n ent, however, is to hold the agents re-
sponsible and it is likely that a number
of them will go on the docket soon be.
