this place claims to be divine healer
and miracle worker. She has some
of the darkies there under the spell of
her influence, believing that she can do
anything she commands. Standing be-
side Phillips pond she claimed that she
could make the pond rise or fall. A gen.
tleman standing near asked her to de-
monstrate her power by so doing. She
went through a mumbling jargon,
twisted her hands and looked skyward,
and then commanded the water in the
pond to do her bidding. She gazed in
tently at the pond and said, Didn't
you see the pond rise and fall?" The
gentleman said, 81 must confess I did
not see any agitation of the water"
Then she exclaimed, II am not ready
yet" and walked away. The gentle
man asked a little negro girl nearby
if she could make the pond rise and
fall. The negro girl walled her big
eyes and in grest confidence exclaimed ::
"She shore can, mister?"
The Rome Tribune publishes edito-
rally the Marietta Chautauqua pro-
gram to show what can be done by
places not half as large as Rome when
the proper effort is made. This really
is very high class of lectures. We
have had the pleasure of hearing each
of them except DR.. Steele's Home Life
in Dixie During the War" There is
no finer or more eloquent, or more
pleasing lecturer on the platform than
Hon. George r. Vending, and his
Nan of Galilee" and "Stonewall Jack
son" are worth the trip Ifrom here to
Marietta to hear. They are unexcelled.
DR.. Willet's Sunshine" is calculated
to make everybody see the bright
side of life, and Prof. Lanes delightful
talks are we'll known to Romans. Gen.
Gordon and Hon. Henry Watterson
have made national regulations on
their lectures. It is really remarkable
that Marietta is able to begin chau-
taugua with such an attractive pro-
gram Rome Tribune.
On Wednesday afternoon of last week
Mr.. D. F. McClatchey ir., on attempt
ing to board the o'clock train for At
lanta, as it was moving off, missed the
steps and fell, and while holding to the
rod was dragged one hundred yards be-
fore the train stopped. He got on
board and went on to Atlanta, but
when he reached that city he had a
physician to examine his wounds and
dress them. His left shoulder and arm
was badly bruised and his leg and left
side had the skin painfully lacerated.
His trousers were also torn. 1t was a
narrow escape from death and his many
friends are glad that his injuries were
not serious.
While in New York attending the
Ecumenical Missionary Conference, DR..
W. W. Wadsworth, of this place, was
assigned to preach at the new Metho-
dist church at Willis avenue and East
14lst street in the morning, and at
Trinity M. E. church, 118th street, in
the evening. This distinguished honor
was not conferred on any other Geor-
gian, and shows the high esteem in
which DR.. Wadsworth is held. 1t was
source of regret to him that he was
taken sick and had to return home be-
fore filling his appointments.
