raft hands, and the freight business is
also gradually increasing. The success of
the road is largely owing to General Man
ager Bakers untiring attention.
Mr.. Baker, who has entire charge of
the road, never fails to give every little
detail his personal supervision, and his
efficiency as a railroad man is showing
itself plainly in every department.
An organization named the Young Mems

last night. The following officers were
elected:
President, Adam Strain; vice president.
Joseph A. Walker; treasurer, Frank S.

and very competent and the appoint
ments give general satisfaction.

from Nature for help, and unless there

This demand can only be met by

He said that he had repented of his
sins and had been forgiven. and that

Strong requested the sheriff TO remove
the cap so that he could remind several
of his friends not to forget certain COM
missions with which he had charged
them, and this was done. He never be-

Interest.
Athens. Ca, March 15.-The second day
of the state Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION convention was one of splendid
work.
The interesting feature OF the morning
services was the discussion of the eduea-
tional department Of the association. The
general opinion was that the organization
should devote more attention to libraries,
lectures, night classes and educational
improvement. and a marked advance may
be expected in this line this year

vention was perfected as follows:
Presdent-D. f. Luther of Atlanta.
First Vice President-D. c. Barrow of
Athens.
Second Vice President-J. r. Mosely Of
Macon.
Third Vice Presidential. b. Wood of
Brunswick.

of papers and discussions on spiritual
work, among the most interesting being
that Of J. 5. Hunter of Savannah on THE
Devotional Committee and How to Utilize
it,"
Tonight the report of the president of
the state committee was read. II showed
that the association is in splendid shape
in the state. The different associations are

manifested all around in mems meetings.

AN ATLANTA FIRM FAILS.
Lively Litigation Expected to Grow
Out of the Break

out of the Break.
Atlanta, Ga. March 15.-The firm Of Nc
Kenzie & Riley. large retail shoe dealers
on Whitehall street, failed to-day, under
circumstances which bid fair to develop
some sensational litigation. The business
was closed UP by the sheriff at 10 o'clock
this morning, upon the foreclosure of
mortgages aggregating $4,000. The largest
of these mortgages, for S12,250 is In favor
of J. r. Wylie. father-in-law Of the Junior
member of the firm, while $500 is held by
w. A. Mckenzie. The filing and fore
closure of these mortgages was brought
about by the application for a receiver
made last night by unsecured creditors
This application was made to Judge
Lumpkin, who granted a temporary re-
straining order and set the case for the
23d inst.
When the mortgage holders learned Of
this move they visited the home of Clerk
Tanner, and waking him up at 2 o'clock
this morning, had their mortgages filed
and foreclosed. The fight will be made
on the legality of the mortgages, on the
ground that they should not be consid-
cred precedent to the receivership.

CHANGES IN THE SENATE.
Marion Butler to SIT Among the Re
pubIicans.

Washington, March, 15-The disap-
pearance of eighteen senators will make
an entire change in the appearance of the
Senate floor when that body meets again.
Instead of majority of the desks be-
ing on the democratic side they now ap-
pear on the republican side, and in this
connection 1t is interesting to know that
at the request of Senator Marion Butler
of North Carolina. his desk has been
placed on the republican side. Mr.. Butter
is the populist elected by the fusion leg
islature that at the same time gave the
two-year term to Mr. Prtchard, rep.
The fact that Mr.. Butler has asked to
be seated on the republican side is taken
as an indication that he will act with the
republicans in matters pertaining to or
ganization and such other questions as
are not inconsistent with his views on
peculiar subjects. Senator Ransom, whom
he succeeds, prophesied that Mr.. Butler
would at all times be found acting in har-
mony with the party in the Senate that
was antagonistic to the democrats

He had no appetite, and it was hard work

with the exception of one which is rapidly
closing, only the scars and an occasional
limp remaining as reminders Of his suffer-
ing. Hoods Sarsaparilla in his case has
truly done wonders, and he is daily gain
