eyes.

GIVEN UP WITH REGRET.
Rev. Mr.. NeIghbor Goes From Dub
lin to a Church an Americas.

Dublin, Ga, April 24-The people learned
yesterday with genuine regret that Rev.
R. e. Neighbour had decided
to accept the call of the First
Baptist church at Americas and
would leave Dublin June LIST For
two years Mr. Neighbour has been pastor
of the Dublin Baptist church and dur
ing that time has endeared himself to
every one in this city irrespective of
deno4nina tional lines. MIR. Neighbour who
was formerly a missionary to Brazil, is
a hard worker in the church and is an
earnest consecrated Christian He re-
fuses to allow the churches he serves as
pastor to fix a salary for him, nor does
he allow the members to be assessed for
the support of the pastor, but accepts as
his support only so much as Is voluntari-
ly offered at the morning services each
Sabbath. Although the Dublin Baptist
church only paid the pastor that preced-
ed Mr.. Neighbour 5000 per annum, the
members have given him more than
$500 each year he has preached here
for his support. The people OF Dublin
give him up very reluctantly, but he
states that he thinks 1t his duty to ac-
eept the call of the Americas church and
to try to persuade him to remain lie
came to Dublin from Baltimore. 1t Is
rumored that Rev. M. A. Jenkins of
Macon may be rendered the call OF the
Dublin church. He was called to the
pastorate of this church in 1899, but de-
clined. 1t Is believed that he would ac-
cept the call at this time, however, IL
1t was rendered to him.
Dr. j. F. Reynolds. who came to Dublin
some months ago and commenced the
practice of osteopathy in this city, has
closed UP his Office and returned to his
home at Kirksville, Mo-. the people here
not taking to the new fad sufficiently to
more than assist the doctor to keep the
wolf from the door. His assistant, Miss
DIR. Freddie Gillespie, has also left the
city for her former home at Franklin,

the exact situation here respecting the
canal problem but also upon the prospects
# the ratification of any convention that
he might be able to frame in conjunction
with Secretary Hay to replace the lost
Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Secretary Hay has been at work ever
since Congress adjourned, taking sound
ings with a view to learning just what
conld be expected of the Senate in case
he should submit another treaty to that
bodv. But for reasons heretofore explain
I'D M to this time he has not been able

iative field. This is In large measure due
IN the reluctance of some of the leading
senator's to commit themselves frankly in
ADVANCE to certain ideas respecting the
canal. Therefore, Lord Pauncefote, if he
goes to London before Secretary Hay re-
turns. can present to the foreign Office
only a partially developed picture of the
situation here, though he may be able,
through his long experience in Washing
ton, to supplement the ideas he has gath
cred from Secretary Hay with some views
of his own that may afford the British
government the information it requires as
a precedent to initiating fresh negotia-
tions for a new treaty.

ored Help of Union League Club.
New York, April 24.-Between 400 and
500 members of 100 belonging to the I'm
ion League Club of this city met tonight
at the club house to take action on the
question as to whether or not white SER
wants should be employed to take the
place of the colored ones whose services
have been engaged since the formation of
the organization Some time ago the
house committee had the question before
1t and in a report which it made to the
meeting tonight recommended that the
colored help be dispensed with. When the
matter came up for discussion ex-Con-
gresham John S. Wise offered a resolu-
ton to the effect that the colored EN-
ployes be retained. There were speeches
pro and con, but finally Mr.. Wises reso-
oIution was adopted by vote of nearly
three to one.
The matter has caused a great deal of
comment of late because of the previous
historic position of the Union League
Club as a participant in the struggles to
free the negroes from slavery and as
champion of the negro in subsequent
years.

CHEW FOOD.

Helps Digestion.
The finest specimens of teeth are seen
in animals and human beings who chew
the food thoroughly.
Dentists agree that teeth must be used
to properly preserve them and therefore
they urge people to chew their food
Thoroughly but the nervous, hurried man
ner of eating is altogether too common
among people and when fed on soft
mushes they are liable to swallow the
food without chewing.
Dyspepsia and bad teeth are the result
of this practice If continued. True one
can eat soft food without detriment IL the
necessity OF chewing Is remembered.
Grape Uuts food Is 30 crisp and brittle
and withal so pleasant TO the taste that
the user can not forget 70 chew and thus
the teeth get the necessary use and the
glands OF the gums are made TO give the

Despite the recent cold snap which has
undoubtedly killed a lot of fruit and a
large portion of the cotton which was up,
the farmers are in good heart and realize
the benefit to be derived in better prices
for a shorter crop.
