Revival Meetings,

Three revival meetings are now
in progress in this city. The meet.
ings are being held at the Baptist,
Cumberland Presbyterian and First
Presbyterian churches. While the

for reformation and it is to be hoped
that there will be good attendance
at these different places of worship,
and that grand revival will take
place such as the city has not W.T.

cause life had nothing left for her. Only
In the night she would awake and
stretch out her hands, feeling for the
walls of her cell, and moan aud weep In
thinking OF the child, born In the prison
and dead In the prison. Then Naomi
would weep with her and soothe her,
until the dying girl, in her turn, soothed
and consoled the girl who had to live.
One evening, towards the end Of
April, when there was O soft breath Of
early spring, Ruth began to talk OF the
old days, when the swlfts few about the
tower Of the cathedral, and the leaves
began to come out upon the trees; and
she spoke OF the sweet service on the
Sunday morning, and of the quiet shop,
with its shelves OF books, round which
the canons OF the cathedral would slowly
walk, reading the titles; and OF the
dean, who always came to shake hands
with her father, and patted her cheek
all the old life-so long ago, so long
ago. She talked about this all the
evening; 1t seemed as II she could think
OF nothing else. When she laid her
head upon the pillow she murmured,
Naomi, dear, there is nothing worth re-
Numbering but the old days-and you,
dear, and you-unless it is my baby.
Oh! he is waiting for me. I can sec his
pretty face; he holds out his pretty
hands. Then, with no more words,
her eyes closed and she fell asleep. Ma
omi watched her; she was breathing
freely and lightly; she went to bed her
self. An hour afterwards she awoke In
alarm, and listened. Ruth was breath
Ing lightly and regularly. Naomi fell
asleep again. When she awoke again II

NEW MODEL FARM.
Georgia Wants Land That VIII Produce
All Kinds Of Vegetation.

Georgia Wants Land That VIII Produce
All Kinds Of Vegetation.
The prudential committee of the
Georgia State University, at Athens,
has purchased a lot Of land to be used
by the department of agriculture for
q model farm.
The present model farm, adjoining
Rock college, will now be put on the
market and the trustees hope to be
able to dispose Of ii for a good sum.
The purchase Of q place for new
model farm, while quite surprise, has
been contemplated by the trustees for
a number Of years. Up to this time
they have always been pursuaded from
buying other property because of the
old farm. The Rock college property
was practically valueless as a model
farm, and the trustees have been de-
string TO get land that will produce
all vegetation abundantly. At their
last meeting it was decided to sell the
Rock college farm and buy better and
mora fertile land.

Bomb Was Exploded on the Route He Had
Followed.
Advices from Paris state that the
departure of President Faure on his
visit to the car at st. Petersburg
Wednesday was marked by scenes Of
intense excitement, accompanied by
the circulation OF the widest kind of
rumors. After his departure bomb
exploded along the route the president
had followed, and although no damage
was done, and in spite Of the fact that
nobody was hurt, the greatest excite
ment prevailed for a long time after
wards and the sensational reports had
it that those who exploded the bomb
had intended an outrage of q more
serious nature.
The president received an ovation
from the public when he started on
his journey to Russia, large crowds of
people lining the route from the
Elysee palace to the railway station
and greeted the president with enthu-
siastic cries of give Ia republique,

Ten minutes after the presidents
departure, when the crowds were re-
turning along the route traversed by
NJ. Faure, a bomb exploded ut the
corner of the Boulevard Magenta and
the Rue Lafayette, in front Of the

CASHOFFEREDFORL YNCAERS
THE ExECUTIONERs OF THE NE.
GRO OSCAR WILLIAMS WANTED.
The SPALDING GRAND JURY ACTS
And Now the Governor of Georgia Takes
Cogni1ance Of Their Presentments
and Offers Rewards.

Governor Atkinson, Of Georgia, has
offered large rewards for the men who
lynched Oscar Williams, the Clayton
county negro, in Griffin, on the morn
ing of July 22d. The offer is based
on the same plan as that of the Ryder
reward and contemplates not only the
punishment of those actually in the
mob which did the bloody work, but
also all those who aid in preventing
the detection of the guilty parties.
The governor delayed his proclama-
ton because he wanted to let the
Spalding county grand jury investigate
the case.
As soon as he read the presentment
of the grand jury, he and Attorney
General Terrell got together and drew
up paper, wherein the secretary Of
state was directed to issue proclams-
ton offering q reward of $500 each for
the arrest and delivery to the sheriff
of Spalding county, or to any jailer in
the state, with proof to convict, Of the
first two men concerned therein who
are guilty Of felony, and 500 each
for the arrest and delivery, with proof
to convict, of each subsequent party
guilty of felony; also that the secre-
tary of state issue proclamation Of
fering reward of $3.50 each for such
parties as feloniously conspire or aid
in preventing the detection or arrest
of the parties guilty Of the murder Of
said Oscar Williams; said reward to be
paid on the arrest and delivery of such
person or persons, with proof to con-
vict, to the sheriff of Spalding county
or to any jailer in the state.
The lynching of Williams was one
Of the most remarkable that hes ever
occurred in Georgia. On July 18th
he attempted an assault on the six
year-old daughter of ]. @. Campbell,
a farmer near Loveioy, and escaped.
He was pursued for three days by q
large mob of men and was caught at
GAINESVILLE, where company of mill.
tia protected him in the Jail there.
Later he was taken to Macon under
heavy military escort and lodged in
the Bib county Jail.
! The news that a mob was forming
in Macon to lynch him reached the
ears of the sheriff and he promptly
made arrangements for secret trans
fer of the prisoner to Atlanta. While
en- route to the latter city mob took
Williams from the train and put him
to death,
