DRUM AGAINST PIANO.
An Amusing Musical Rivalry at

An Amusing Musical Rivalry at
ThOmasVille.
Thomasville, Ga, June 11.-A rather I'M
usual rivalry between two prominent fam
lilies on the best street in Thomasville oc-
ours nightly. There is pretty and mu-
steal young lady in one household. She
is fond of the piano-forte, in the playing
of which she is quite an adept. and
amuses herself and her family by singing
and playing in the evenings. The head Of
the family which lives in an elegant home
on an adjoining lot is of a nervous tenn
permanent. and does not sleep well or take
kindly to these effulgent bursts of music
divine He has consequently secured a
drum, and every night when the piano
peals forth the drum begins 10 beat. The
young lady is persistent but the mature
drummer boy, who is also one of the
leading professional lights of the city is
equally persistent Their instruments do
not harmonic any better than their tenn
peraments. and together they form a com
bination which is not very pleasing to the
other neighbors. This rivalry occurs
nightly, and extends far into the night.
Neither side shows any disposition to

BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE.
Expected There viii he n Fair At
tendance at Columbus Convention

Expected There viii BE n Fair At
tendance at Columbus Convention.
1t is not known yet how many members
of the Baptist Young Peoples Union will
attend the convention at Columbus Tues
day as delegates from Savannah. though
it is expected the number will be large
There are doubts, however, that the dele
cation will not be as large as was at first
expected,
AS was stated in the Morning News yes
terday arrangements are being made by
the railroads to afford the delegates from
Savannah every possible convenience and
comfort in travelling. The Savannah spe-
cial win be attached to the train that will
leave Macon at o'clock in the afternoon
and arrive at Columbus at O'Clock Those
who attend may rest assured that they will
be well cared for.
The First Baptist Young Peoples Union
will probably send delegates, though it was
stated last night that there will not be a
large sized delegation. Rev. j. d. Chap
man has stirred up considerable enthusi-
asm among Duffy Street Union. and the
chances are there viii be several to attend
as its representatives. The convention
has been anticipated for some time. and
the delegates fully expect one of the most
interesting and profitable conventions the
Young Peoples Union has held for some
time.
The national convention, which will he
held at Richmond, promises to be largely
attended by members of the Baptist
churches in Savannah. It may be that
the national convention will detract some
from the state convention owing to the
fact ii will come so close upon its heels.
