Gently engaged the attention of the
President and his cabinet have
awakened new interest in the So
called Monroe Doctrine" an
nounccd by President Monroe in his
annual message to Congress-, Dec.

the following language:
"Wo owe it to Candor and the
amicable relations existing between
the United States and the allied
Powers to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part
to extend their system To any por-
ton of this hemisphere as dangerous
to our peace and safety. With the
existing colonies or dependencies of
any European power, we have not
intCrtered, and shall not interfere,
but with the governments which
have declared their independence
and maintained it, and whose indie
pendence we have on great consid-

knowlcdged, we could not view an
int"rpositi"n for expressing them or
controlling in any other manner

power, in any other light than as Il

HOME MISSION WORK NEEDED.

The attention of the Prosecuting

is called to the action of some
toughs and rowdies in the vicinity
of the Gordon church, on the road
between Browns Mill and Glades-
vile. The Rev. Mercer WAS hold
ing a protracted meeting there.
which was broken up last week by
some diSreputable characters of the
nelghborhood. They behaved so
badly in the church one night that
the minister lectured them severely,
and the next night the bride
on his horse was cut to- pieces
and ruined. so the preacher de
cided tn close the meeting, but
right there he made mistake and
will never succeed in fighting the
battles OF the Lord if he let's the
devil whip him out that easy. The
people of that neighborhood should
quit sending money away to con
vert the heathens, for awhile, and
invest it at home.

A BIG MOVE.

One of the most remarkable
things, not to attract any special
attention, that has come under our
notice for some time, was the NOV
ing Of the big store building. con
tents and all, of Shaffer, Brown &
Co., of this place, near the depot,
to location on the west side of
Tunnelton Street near the big -four
ing mill and opposite Mr.. Gus j.
Shaffer's residence. The building
is two-story, fifty feet long and
twenty feet wide, aud contains a
big stock of general merchandise.
All Of this was moved across the
street and up grade distance of
700 feet, IN about ten days time,
by force of workmen under the
supervision of George w. Sharpe,
of Corinth, and not q thing in the
store disturbed or damaged except
one goblet, which fell off a shelf
and broke, worth five cents. Bust
ness went right along and custo-
mcrs were in the store dealing every
day. The total cost of moving will
not exceed 5000. and the company
now has one Of the best locations in

Mrs. Mary Griffith, who rings the
Vandugen Chimes in the Tower of
the Art Palace ut Atlanta, is the
first woman chimes ringer. Through
her efforts the chimes were taken to
Atlanta, where they are now de-
| lighting thousands of visitors to
the Exposition. The work of ring.
ing the chimes is not only difficult
one, but it is no easy matter 10
transpose the tunes from the key in
which they are written to the KEY
of the bells. To Mrs. Griffith, how
ever. this task was the easier of the
two, because of the fact that she is
such an accomplished musician.
The old tunes, she says, are the
best for chimes. People half mile
away love to hear "Nellie Gray"
"The Old Oaken Bucket" and "He
Watches Over Israel" floating to
their ears from the lofty belfry, and
she says that many times In Chicago
people have come to the bell tower
to thank her with tears in their
eyes for Ginning the old, familiar
airs. Mrs. Griffith is the daughter
of Captain William Butt, a gallant
soldier who was killed at the second
battle OF Manassas, and is grand.
daughter Of Judge William Butt,
who was one of the well known iu-
dlelal figures of Atlanta for a quar-
ter OF century. This class Of
music Is believed to have originated
In some of the German monasteries,
and the first chimes were made at
Alost, in the Netherlands, 4O8 years
ago. The chimes of Christ Church,
Philadelphia, are among the oldest
in America. They were sent from
England as present from Queen
Anne, and during the Revolution
were taken down and sunk IN the
Delaware to prevent the British
from capturing them. After the
war they were rehung.

The Pennsylvania building is one
OF the handsomest at the Exposition
and Is elegantly and comfortably
furnished, and makes a pleasant
home for the visitors from that
State. The "Old Liberty Bell" is
on exhibition there, and attracts
much attention. 1t was brought
from Philadelphia on a special train
and viewed with enthusiastic ven
Grafton by thousands Of patriotic
people on the way. 1t is guarded
all the time by two stalwart police
men. The following lines were dedi.
Gated to it by Frank l.. Stanton,
the celebrated Georgia poet, who is
on the staff of the Atlanta Constt-
tuition, and Is very pleasant gen.

ring to it, and has been published
far and wide during the past few
years. He also writes the Billville
Banner humor for the Constitution.
But here is the bell and some real
poetry about it:
