like the true Christian woman that she
was, perfectly resigned when the end came,
knowing full well that her journey across
the river of death would bring her to
home of eternal peace and happiness on
the other shore, where she would be pre-
pared 10 meet and welcome the dear ones
gone who must follow her thence when the
Master calls them from their duties here
on earth. Mrs Wynn died in the triumph
of the Christian faith.
Few women in Columbus were better
known or more generally loved and es-
teemed than was Mrs. Wynn. As
one of the leading Methodist ministers
in the South Georgia conference Rev. Mr.
Wynn has been pastor Of the principal
churches in several OF the most important
cities in the state. His wife has been a
faithful help meet, indeed and in other
cities as well as Columbus, her many
deeds Of charity and faithful work IN be-
half OF the church and its poor have en-
deared her to all classes OF citizens.

A PARK ON THE OGEECHEE.
Commissioners Have Discussed Plans
For Establishing One.

There has been some talk on the part of
the county commissioners of creating
park on the Ogeechee road just at the
end of the paved portion of 1t.
The matter was looked into sometime
ago by members of the old board, and it
was found at that time that a prominent
citizen who owns land there was willing
to give the county a certain portion for
that purpose provided the park is proper
ly established. Somehow or other the mat
ter has never been carried any further,
but the idea is considered a good one, and
it is thought 1t will be taken up.
The idea of the commissioners, it is said,
is to build a pavilion on such a lot and
dig an artesian well, thus making IL a de-
sirable place for bicycles and those going
out on the road in vehicles. There is lit
tie doubt that the bicyclists will talk up
the pan for all 1t is worth, and will hope
the commissioners will take some definite
and favorable action in the matter within
a short time.

NO SALOON MEN DOCKETED.
Police Did Not Succeed i'm Finding
Any Saloons Open.


Any Saloons Open.
The announcement by the Morning News
that special instructions had been CIV
en- the police to exercise extra vigilance
yesterday as regards the saloons, had the
effect OF causing the saloon keepers TO be
extremely careful.
Many of the places which have been run
ming on Sunday were closed but 1t was
not a difficult matter for a man who want
ed a drink to find a place where 1t could
be obtained. 1t was a warm day, and
several barkeepers were sufficiently oblig-
ing to run the risk of detection and fur
nish liquids TO the thirsty.
The extra watch kept upon the saloons
did not drive any large number of peo-
pie to Thunderbolt. The number Of visit
ors there yesterday was rather less than
usual on Sunday afternoon, due probably
to the threatening appearance OF the
clouds.
No saloon keepers were placed on the
docket up to midnight. Several officers in
making their reports mentioned the pres
ence OF drunken men on their beats There
were very few arrests for drunkenness
however.

OPENING OF THE MISSION.
Rev. Father Powers Sermon at the

Rev. Father Powers Sermon at the
Cathedral of st. John the Baptist.
The first of the series of the two weeks
mission services at the Cathedral of St
John the Baptist was held yesterday. The
Jesuit Fathers. Rev. ]. F. OConnor and
Rev. William Power will conduct the mis-
sion. Rev. Father O'Connor will conduct
the services tonight. and will preach on
1.-THE Law of God" Last night an elo-
quent sermon on ''The Dignity of the Hu-
man Soul" was delivered by Rev. Father
Power. who is pulpit orator of note.
Father Power began his remarks by re-
ferring TO the object of the mission being
to call the attention of the people to the
great affair of the salvation of the souls
He related the parable of the treasure hid
den in the Held while man knowing went
and sold all that he had and bought; and
most beautifully drew the comparison be-
tween the field as our bodies and the hid
den treasure as our immortal souls; and
that no sacrifice should be deemed too
great to secure their saliva ton
He drew thrilling picture of the suffer-
ing of the early martyrs and showed that
the fortitude so wonderfully exhibited by
them was gained because of their souls
salvation.
In like manner the apostles and con-
fessors underwent such varied sufferings
because of their desire for the salvation
of their own and others souls. He spoke
of the Catholic belief in angel guardians;
that God deemed a human soul Of such
Importance that at its creation he selected
one of the bright spirits. who surround
His throne, in heaven, and gave it charge
over the newly created soul
Father Powers closing remarks on the
estimate of the dignity and worth of the
soul in the eyes of God We're singularly
beautiful. He described the divine child
at Bethlehem and again as a boy at Naza-
reth, working in the shop of his foster
father, and at Gethsemene, where his
bloody sweat took place; and followed
him to Calvary, and asked for an expla-
nation of such infinite abase-
ment and superhuman suffering
and declared that inanimate nature cried
out that this and all this was done for
mortal man and for his souls salvation.
He finished by appealing to all present to
realize the dignity and Importance of their
souls salvation, for the soul lost, all is
lost; and the soul saved, all is saved.

TO CONCLUDE THE ARGUMENTS.
Middle Georgia and Atlantic Case to
BE Resumed To-day.


The arguments in the case of L. ]. Gull
martin and others against the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic railroad will be re-
sumed in the superior court this morning,
Mr.. Charles N. West, representing the
plaintiffs, taking it up where he left off
Saturday.
1t is probable that it will take the en-
tire day to conclude the arguments. Mr.
West wanted Messrs. Cunningham and
Garrard to make certain admissions with
regard to facts in the case, which they
have not seen fit to do, and therefore he
will proceed TO argue the case in full. A
full account of the argument, up to the
stage where II was broken off, was given
in yesterdays Morning News. At the
conclusion Of Mr.. Vests argument Col
Garrard will take up the case for the
Middle Georgia and Atlantic, and then
perhaps Capt. Cunningham will have
something to say in behalf of the Cen
trail.
