DEDICATION NEXT SUNDAY.

The dedication of the new Methodist
church will take place next Sunday
morning.
The pastor and building committee
are to be congratulated upon obtaining
the services of Bishop Charles B. Gal
loway, of Mississippi he is consider
ed one OF the foremost preachers of
this country, and has a reputation as
an orator and eloquent preacher in
every quarter of the world. He has
borne the fraternal greetings of his
church to the Methodists of Canada
and also of England. To him was paid
the greatest possible compliment when
he was chosen to preach the opening
sermon at the approaching great Ecu
menical Conference in London. to be
composed of representatives from all
the Methodist bodies throughout the
world. He is man of commanding
appearance, brilliant and magnetic,
and his presence will make next Sun
day great occasion from every stand
point. 1t will be great loss to all
who fail to hear him.
The new church is exquisitely beau
titul, and will be a surprise to all who
have not seen it. Competent Judges
pronounce it the most elegant Metho-
dist church to be found in the south,
outside the cities. 1t has required
many months of patient toll, but the
reward has come at last. The liberali-
ty which has made it possible has put
Marietta in a position of which she may
well feel proud.
The decoration committee is COM
posed of Mesdames Guyton, Pomeroy,
McClatchey, Neal, S. G. Simpson, A.
Reynolds, I. NJ. Brumby, Homer Rey-
nolds, Mckenzie, Barnes, T. A. Gram
ling, Blair, Murray, w. l.. Sessions.
Heggie, Bussey and Hare. They are
requested to meet at the new church
on Friday morning at ten o'clock.
The members and pastors of the 9TH
er churches have accepted an invita-
ton to attend the dedication 1t is al
so expected that some of the old pas
tors will be present The music will be
all that could be expected, and that
means a great deal in Marietta. There
will doubtless be crowd that will tax
even the capacity of this spacious build
ing. II you wish comfortable seat 60

EASTER SUNDAY.

Easter Sunday was ushered in under
clear skies and bright sunshine. 1t
was typical Easter day of lovliness,
and all nature seemed to rejoice in the
resurrection from the icy touch of win
ter into the genial embrace and balmy
kisses OF spring.
The celebration of the nineteen hun
dredth anniversary of an event that
has profoundly influenced the history
of mankind is as strong to-day as ever.
The Christian world observes the day
religiously with fitting ceremonials
but it is greatly feared that with some
attending church on Easter morning has
the element of vain display in vaster
measure than religious devotion.
However as that may be, the gather
ing of the people into the churches to
worship last Sunday seemed as if by
common consent and all moved appa-
rently with the same impulse to hear
retold the sweet and inspiring story
tndG OnTlsU Is hlSeH
At the Episcopal Church, the floral
decorations were profuse and beautiful,
the rich perfume of springs choicest
flowers being as sweet incense unto
the Redeemer of the world. The song
service was extra good and enjoyable.
Rev. G. T. A. Pise delivered an appro-
pirate sermon. At the conclusion an
Easter offering collection was taken
amounting to $184.0O. At O'Clock in
the afternoon the children of st. James
Sunday School had their Easter service
consisting of songs and an address by
Rev. Mr.. Pise. Al night Bishop Nelson
was greeted with an immense audience.
The pretty little church was crowded
beyond its seating capacity and many
had to stand. The Bishop administer
ed the rite of confirmation to a class of
fourteen persons, after which he preach
ed sermon on Christ's resurrection.
1--WE being witnesses" 1t was a practi-
cal and pointed discourse and was de-
livered with an earnestness and inn
pressiveness that had great influence
upon his hearers
Sunday morning at the Methodist
Church an immense congregation gath
cred and extra seats had to be provided.
The floral decorations were artistic
and beautiful, showing good taste and
skill in arrangement. The choir rem
dered some very choice numbers and
the music was an enjoyable feature. DR..
W. w. Wadsworth preached a magnifi-
cent sermon from the text: "Why
should it be thought thing incredible
with you that God should raise the
dead. Acts 26th CHI. and Sth verse.
The subject was handled with surpass-
ing ability, logically and and earnestly.
The large audience was held in the
closest attention.
Rev. Mr.. Miner of Roswell, preach
ed two fine sermons, edify:ng and help
full, at the Presbyterian church. The
Mission school Easter service in the af-
ternoon was profitable and interesting.
DR.. j. B. Taylor, superintendent of
the Baptist Orphan Home at Hapeville,

A collection was taken at the morning
service for the Orphans Home, and $65

New YORK, June THE demo-

vention as follows: David 3. Hill,
Richard Croker, Edward Murphy and
Augustus Van Wyck. The platform
adopted contains no reaffirmation of
the Chicago platform of 1896, but a
declaration that the party in the state
will support the platform Of the Kan
City convention. The platform de-
clares against war taxes in time Of
peace, declares for parity of gold and
silver as currency. demands abolition
of all customs and tariffs between
Porto Rico and the United States,
condemns trusts and monopolies, and
entangling alliances; demands just
and liberal pension laws and election
of United States senators by the
people, and favors the nomination of
William j. Bryan. The convention
gave promise of being very stormy,
but ended quietly. The particular
feature of the convention was the
domination of affairs by ex-senator
D. B. Hill. The silver men profess to
be satisfied with the result.

IRISH YEOMANRY CAPTURED.
Lord Roberts Reports Surrender Of the
Thirteentii b iment.


] LoNDoN, June 8. Following is the
text Of the dispatch from Lord Roberts
announcing the disaster to the Thir-
teenth battalion of the Impeii YAo-
many, which numbered between 4oc
and 500 officers and men: s.ss
Pretoria Station, June 81 regret
to report that the thirteenth Imperial
Yeomanry had to surrender to q very
superior force of the enemy, on May
81, near Lindley. On receiving infor-
nation the battalion being attacked,
! ordered Methuen TO proceed with all
speed to its assistance.
.sMetlluen was then on the march, on
the Hebron side of Kroonstad, and,
half an hour after the receipt .of my
telegram on June !, he started off. BY
10 a. m. OF the following day he had
marched forty-four miles in twenty
five hours, but he was too late to res
cue Colonel Sprague's yeomanry.
"Methuen attacked the Beers, who
were between 1000 and 1900 strong,
and after running 6ght of five hours
completely routed the enemy.
1T is a very regrettable circum-
stance; but trust it will not be very
long before the Irish yeomanry are re.
leased from captivity
