The tragic death of Mr.. Will B. Rey-
nolds of Rome, Ca, at White CHI
Springs, Tenn, few days ago, was
crushing blow to his parents and brought
genuine sorrow and distress to large
circle of friends in Georgia and Alabama
Mr.. Reynolds was the second son of Col.
John Reynolds of Rome, the president OF
the First National bank of that city. He
was spending several weeks at White
Cliff with his parents, and had become
great favorite with the guests at the no.
tel. A party of friends decided to have
their photographs taken on one OF the
cliffs, and in arranging for this Mr. Rey-
nolds lost his balance and fell over the
cliff into the ravine below and was In
stantly killed. During the encampment
of the Second regiment of Alabama state
troops at East Lake Mr.. Reynolds was a
member of the Woodstock Guards, and at
the encampment of the Third regiment
he was with the Admission rifles While in
Birmingham at the two encampments
he made many friends among the sol
diers, as we'll as with the young people
young fellow Of gentle breeding and at
tractive, magnetic manners. His untime-
w. terrible death has aroused wide
spread interest, for although only ~
years of age, he had made an indellible
impression upon all with whom ne was
associated. The deepest sympathy OF
Birmingham friends Is extended his par
ents in this hour of their bereavement
In writing of Atlanta churches last
Sunday / did not refer to the fact that
there is branch of the Salvation army
stationed here, and a fiourishing congre-
cation of Christian Scientists as well.
The Salvationists, with their various Off
GERS, men and women; their big drums,
and their earnestnesS always attract at
tention on the street corners and collect
an audience when they prepare for bat
tie. The women, with their unworldly,
spiritualized faces, their quaint dresses
and big poke bonnets, always put you to
Eliminating about their work and its re-
suits They are a tireless, unfiagging
body of Christians, and the world is be-
ginning to realize and appreciate the
good they accomplish among the lowest
classes of humanity, who otherwise
would never have preached the simple
and beautiful gospel of Christ. To you
and to me the methods employed by the
Salvation army may not appeal; they
may be even offensive, but good is ac-
compIished nevertheless by these strange
and earnest people. In Gods hands they
are reaching depths of infamy and de-
spair never touched by that system of
religion in which we live and move and
have our being.
The congregation of the Christian
Scientists numbers nearly 200 members
and regular services are held every Sun
day morning at 1890 o'clock at the
Grand opera house. Mrs. Livingston

faith and is very active in promulgating
it's doctrines.
At st. Lukes church two weeks ago
heard the famous >Campobello sing a
solo during the offertory. Signor Hen
rico Campobello, who in private life is
simple Mr.. Henry Campbell, now resides
in Atlanta and occasionally sings at
churches and on the stage. He retains
in a measure his magnificent voice,
which once gave him. world wide no.
toriety. but of course there are apparent
evidences of its decline even to the most
careless listener. l have the hope of
hearing him sing in private before I re-
turn home, and trust shall not be dis
appointed. -
The suburbs of Atlanta are as pictur-
esque as the outlying districts of such an
enterprising town should be. All of these
places of interest are connected with the
city by electric car lines. Last Sunday
afternoon we rode out on the Atlanta
railway electric line. to Decatur, dis
lance of ten miles, through the beautiful
fields and by the sloping red hillsides.
Along the route were neat little depots,
or stations, with glass windows, and
everywhere there was an air OF thrift
and progress. Decatur Is an old-fashion-
ed town., too near this metropolis ever to
be more than an attractive suburb. An
connects Atlanta and Decatur through
an equally attractive country.
Lakewood is one of the most popular
suburbs. and is visited by large numbers
Of pleasure seekers during the summer
months. At Lakewood-as its name sug-
gests-there is very large lake, upon
whose quiet waters there are little steam
yachts. Then there are dozens of dou-
BILE swings on the banks, range for rife
shooting comfortable seats, electric
lights, and not far off you can indulge
In Shooting the chute" IL you are so in
clined. Lakewood is about six miles
from Atlanta, and the car service Is excel
lent, so It Is an agreeable diversion dur
ing these August afternoons to ride out
and catch breath of fresh air and a re-
freshing glimpse Of water.
