for several weeks, has been urawiug all
of himself together for the great enoIt Of

Many OF Mr.. Hams fri nds think he
is o natural born attorney ana ne has

regard to the assessment OF school taxss
in small districts that have cuuseI

eide upon. Before yesterday. however, he
never had the courage to appear -

which Alexanuer bros. were plaintiff d

In such case, the statutes require that

mortgage money he might have to pay q

show cause why the mortgage should not
be paid. Mr.. Ham, af er Mr. Hinckley

Autumn Iailor-made Gowns.

A number of the new tailor-made
gowns show a great deal of stitching
on bands that are applied, and in col
lars, revers, cuffs and belts. Some OF
them have stitching in cOntrastin g
color, but those of better style are done
in self color. Buttons are feature on
street costumes, aud are used in small
lumb ers of good size or are put on in
quantities of very small size. Brass
buttons of tiny size set very close to-
gether are much used on street dress
's for misses and young women. Very
narrow gold braid, mere thread, fol-
lows stitched bands on the skirt and
waist, where brass buttons are worn.
Belts on street dresses have lost their

ribbon that may serve as q trimmin g

First Monastery of the franciscan
Order in America.

On the Bunker Hill Eroad, just out
side of Washington, overlooking
Brookland and the Catholic university,
there is rising day by day a CREST
building of buff brick 300 feet long and
half as many feet deep. When com
pieted, the building swill be perhaps
the most rem arkable in the United
States, for there will be established
the fret monastery OF the powerful Or
der of the Franciscan monks in this
country.
The order is now represented in the
United States at several places by q
few members, but there is no home for
the monks now in existence outside OF
the old countries. Inc land upon
which the monastery is being erected 4,
says the Washington Post, cost $40. 900
and was bought over a year ago by
parties in New York. Ground was
broken for the new building early last
spring and it is expected that it will
be completed during the present year,
probably some time in November.

mo, indeed, these were the times OF
simple faith, and belief in the efficacy
of supplication to the Omnipotent. In
one neigh borhood in the county OF
Coweta, where the drought was partic
ularly severe, q prayer meeting had
been called for a certain day, and at
the time appointed congregation oil
several hundred sufferers met to beg
that the drought be broken. II
CHANGED that q new preacher who had
but lately come to the section, and who
was rs 1 remember, an exponent OF the
hard she'll Baptist creed, was called
upon to make the principal petition,
HE prayed fervently and with all
the favor OF an agonized spirit. o,
Lord" said he. Thou knowest our
distress. We beseech Thee, come to
our rescue. Lord, we don't want any
of your little drizzie-drozzles, but send
US instead gully washer, q trash NOV

faults in the next world If there didnh
come within the next thirty-six hours

ed on Cowets county. The Oldest inha-
bitauts couldn't remember such an
other deluge. 1t rsined about thre
days without stopping; washed two
thirds OF the fences through big re-
gion into the Chattshoochie river
swept away every bridge anb played
havoc generally. And the worst of il
was that those miserable countrymer
who had melted the preacher to pray
his best, wanted to drum him out OF
the country because of the emphatic
response to his entreaty for rain. -
