Instead Of the excitement pre-
yailing during the week solemn hush
gave one a reverential feeling, and sug-
gosted the sacredness of the day. The
audience was very large, and throughout
the exercises was very quiet and gave
rapt attention throughout.
The music consisted of familiar hymns,
sung by the congregation, led by the
choir, and accompanied by piano, organ,
cornet, violin and bass viol.
The sermon was preached by Rev. DIR.
VanNess, editor of the Christian Index
Of Atlanta, and a general fayor!te. His
text was from Hebrews 12:1, and the ser
mon could not fail to be helpful 10 all
who heard it. as it was applicable TO
communities and individuals alike.
In the evening services were held at the
various churches, and a sacred concert
given at the exposition building by the
band, assisted by the choir, and soloists
on violin, harp and cornet.

Numerous propositions have been re-

periods of ten years. so that there will
be no lack of competent people to take
hold of the business the minute the hotel

Several people contemplate putting in

wHIsKEY THEIR RUIN.
The Sad story of the Nicholson
Family.

EAmAAys
From the Quitman Free Press.
The sad story of the death of Mrs. A.
I. Nicholson IN Tallahassee. Fla, last
Monday night, ought to impress itself on
the mind of every young man who is ac-
customed to taking drink.
Mrs. Nicholson is the wife of Andrew l.
Nicholson, who shot and killed Philip
Duval in Madison, Fla, last Christmas,
while under the influence of whisky.
Nicholson lived just across the state
line in Madison county, and was a pros
porous and happy farmer, surrounded by
the necessaries and many of the luxu-
ries of life. He had an affectionate and
devoted wife and seven fond and loving
children, who little thought when the
husband and. father lefts on that fatal
morning for Madison that he would not
return to them that night. Nicholson
went to Madison got drunk and he and
Duval quarreled, the quarrel was settled
and the two went to the saloon together
for another drink. They got the drink
and started out, but had not gone far
before Duval was shot in the head, dying
before anyone arrived. Nicholson escaped
but was afterward captured and taken
to Madison for trial.
Mrs Nicholson, the same true and de-
voted wife, turned her estate into money
in order to employ counsel to defend her
husband. Nicholson was convicted of
murder in the first degree and sentenced
to hang After the trial public sentiment
was so strong against him that the Off
GERS fearing mob violence, removed him
to Tallahassee. Mrs. Nicholson, still hop
ing that she might do something to keep
her husband from the gallows, took her
family and followed him there. Her
money was all gone by this time and she
had nothing on which to live. Her little
girls got employment in the cigar factory
in that city and this was their only means
of support, until one after another went
down with fever, largely for lack of
proper care and sufficient food. Their real
condition has been made known only in
the last few days. since then the king
Daughters" have been ministering to

FIRE AT NAYLoR.
Hotel Burned-sundry News Items
From ValdOsta.

Valdosta, Ga, Sept. 14.-News was re-
ceived here to-day of the destruction by
fire of the residence of Mr.. l. c. Carter,
at Naylor, ten miles east of here. The
building was used as boarding house
and hotel, and was the largest in the
place. The fire is said to have originated
in the kitchen, and when the family and
occupants of the house were aroused, the
flames were sweeping over nearly the en-
tire structure. Some of the household
furniture was saved, but the boarders
lost everything they had. A merchant of
the place lost all of his books, accounts,
etc, which he kept in his room, and a
physician, DR.. Robinson, lost all of his
medical instruments and other fixtures
in his office. There was insurance of
about $500, which will not near cover the
loss
Last night the house belonging to Mr..
John Land, on his place two miles from
here was burned The fire is supposed to
have been Of incendiary origin as it was
unoccupied at the time. The flames were
discovered about midnight, and too late
to do anything toward saving the build

believed that the meeting tonight is to
try and handicap the opposition workers
by pulling in as many doubtful voters as
possible. The average citizen is not TAX

no telling now which way the county will
go in the national election.
