CALLED TO PENSACOLA
CHURCH DESIRES SERVICES OF
 REV. MR. ANDERSON.
Presbyterian Minister Says That He Will Visit Macon, Ga, Before Deciding Upon Call to
 That Place.

Rev. Neal L. Anderson, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church. who was called last Sunday to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church in Macon, has also received a call from the First Pres- byterian Church in Pensacola, Fla. Mir. Anderson says he is unable to entertain the latter call because of the call from the church at Macon, Ga.
 Mir. Anderson says he will visit Macon before reaching decision concerning the call extended him by the church there. Mir c. V. Thompson representing the Session and Congregation of the First Presbyterian Church, Pensacola, Flf., reached the city Tuesday night. MT. Thompson bore with him a call from that church for MT. Anderson.
 Mir. Anderson was not in the city when Mir. Thompson called, but in an interview yesterday morning MT. Thompson pre- sented the call which was made last Sabbath morning.
 MT. Anderson said to an Advertiser rep resentative that he had had no eoIhmuni- cation whatever with the Pensacola church prior to the preSentation of the call. It appears that committee from that congregation was in Montgomery two weeks ago, but while they attended the services of the Central Church they made no intimation to MT. Anderson or the purposes of their visit.
 MT. Anderson said to the representative of the Pensacola church that he greatly regretted that the call had been made without consultation with him, as he was not able under the circumstances attend- ing the Macon call to entertain call from the Pensacola congregation. MT Anderson will visit Macon pe1ore reaching a decision concerning the call from that church.

Going the Usual Way.

Nashville American.
 The Atlanta Evening News has gone up the Hume. It was a year old, had a first class modern plant, started out with good financial backing, and had acquired a large circulation for a young paper, but its financial packers grew weary of the expense of maintaining tirst-class news paper which was necessary to meet com petition, and the suspension of the paper was the result, Atlanta is a good news paper town. the best of its size in the South, and appearances indicated that The News was or would be a success. But appearances are oftentimes deceit full. There is not a town in the South outside of New Orleans which can sup port two first-class modern morning pa pers, though Richmond and New Orleans each support two very good evening pa- pers.. An evening paper Is much less ex- pensive than a morning paper. and 1t would seem that in a city as large as At lanta two evening papers ought to sue ceed. But they never have, and the cost iy experiment has been tried more than once. The Souths newspaper graveyard contains many costly but unmarked graves. but perhaps some day, when the object lesson is well learned, the journal istic sexton will be out of a job.

"Now. Bob" exclaimed the old man. lair you in dead earnestT'
 Never was more so. She is worn out and broken down with her troubles ana would be not only surprised, but happy if you made her 8 Christmas present.
 The farmer drew q long breath,
 What are you going to get Addie!
 Me? Oh, I've been planning for months. I always get her a new dress Women like new clothes ,nice clothes, Then I'll get her some books and little wife. She deserves more than can ever give her. But I don't forget mother eitrcr, and we always so over there on Christmas afternon and see how happy she is over our presents to her
 The old man drove along quite while in silence, then he said little huskily:
 "I never did give Christmas presents 'cept a little candy fur the children"
 Bob wisely made no reply, but about the middle of the. afternoon he hurried into the biggest dry goods store Tn the place. Up at the front of the store the old farmer was standing helplessly before an obsequious clerk who was holding up
 Farmer oPttigrew beckoned him with
 Dye think this 'ered do. Bob? I'm mighty tired O seein' Ter in black clothes"
 Bob stopped to admire and then hurried on ms own erranOS. when ne met tho old man at the stable a few hours later he was az excited az a child.
 Say. Bob, I bought Ter new rockin chair an a gor comb an some candy I'm kin O shamed to give 'em to .er And I sent Minnie ten dollars from the postoffice. 1 calkilate mother'd better go out thar in the spring an visit a spell.
 Bob shook the old man s hand.
 I'm SO glad I came in with you. | just wish I could see Aunt Maria when you give those things to her.
 'I II tell you about it. Bob.
 But he never introduced the subject when Bob went over to buy couple of calves the next week. The young man asked him how Aunt Maria had liked her present while they were chasing over the big barn lot. old farmer Pettigrew looked at him long and solemnly, culver about his mouth.
 "Waal, when got up ter feed the stock Chris mas mornin' jess laid 'en, on a chair by 'er bed an put the rocker by the kitchen stove. When kun In, she was still In the room an got skeered. I peeked in an'-an'-she war on her knees by 'em sobbin'. l didn't calkilate 1t was gofn' to have no such effect, Bob."
 Bob's eyes grew misty.

BOLD CRIME OF NEGRO
ATTEMPTED TO HOLD UP MISS
 POPE ON PERRY STREET.
Young Woman Returning to Her Home Attacked by Unknown Negro-Police at Work on
 tiss Case.

One of the most daring crimes in the history of Montgomery occurred about ! o'clock Monday evening. The matter was reported to the police department, but the information was suppressed and nothing was known of it until yesterday afternoon.
 Miss Hattie Pope. manager of fur niturs company. who resides at I50 South Perry Street was attacked by . negro on South Perry Street. between High and Scott Streets. one of the most fashiona- ble parts of the city. The negro grab bed hold of the young woman, who jerked loose from him and screamed and the negro fled.
 Miss Pope, the young woman who was attacked, says that she was little late getting away from her work Monday and 1t was nearly o'clock when she arrived at the corner r'of Scott and Perry Streets. The streets were apparently deserted along that block. About midway of the block on the west side there is con- siderable space between two residences which is thickly covered with shrub bery. It is quite dark at this place and Miss Pope says that she noticed negro coming down the sidewalk toward her. He wore a dark pair of trousers blue shirt and had a tin bucket in his hand. She gave the negro half the sidewalk
  he grabbed hold of Miss Pope and with ont saying a word pushed her against the brick wall and attempted to thow her into the shrubery on the other side. Miss Pope with a powerful effort released her. self from the negroes grasp and scream ed this frightened the negro and he ran down the street.
 Miss Pope hurried to her home, where she was overcome with hysteria.
 The pnlioa notified of the matter and several negroes have been arrested for the offense but they have proved that they were not the person wanted.
 Miss Pope says that about year ago at this same spot negro snatched 8 purse from her hand and that a month ago a negro attempted to grab hold of her sister who was passing there about dark.
 Miss Pope was attacked in a prominent district of Montgomery and for a negro to attempt to hold tip white woman there at such an early hour in the even ing is considered exceedingly bold.
 The police are still working on the case.

A TOUCH OF NATURE.

Sometimes 1t seemed to Maria Petti- arew that she was in living tomb. al-
 n arm rsa,y Sos sns had ws,.h large her old age. Farmer Benjamin PettiGrew was known to be "forehanded," which meant that he had 8 good sum to his credit In the county bank
 ]. But the big house was cold and empty. Sorrow had entered its doors and brought her dark shadow to Turk in corners and empty, rooms. There had once been two chased away dark thoughts. One Of these was far in the West, had married what her father called "a trifiin' cuss. and estranged herself long since from her ban skies, his restless. reckless young pfe gone to aid the cause of freedom. After that the shadow lay heavy on the hearts of the old man and woman. but as he went about more and had more varied life. his was the better fate. Iii time he grew to feel the shadow so that he welcomed any excuse to go to town and to rmain there as long as he could. There was nothing at home but a, gray faced, silent woman, who rocked to and fro and wiped her spectacles very often.
 It was cold morning in early Decem- ner ss when z, the sna was e drns aGnE rate. He spied some one ahead of him as he neared little platform station where the train stopped for passengers,, to himself He's dressed up like he was eoin' to catch the train"
 '.Goin' up the road, Bob?" he called us he neared him. I'm bound fur that port
 "I was going down by train" respond ed the younger man. but what's the use when you've got those good grays. But you'll have to bring my stun back"
 Jess so 'tain't two wagon loads" was the retort. The old man liked Bob Evans because he laughed and toked and was good company. College boy, too. Educa- ton had never hurt him. Fine farmer he was. steady and smart.
 What do you calkilate your ioad'll beT' he asked Bob as the hard mud flew from under the horses feet.
 Not much in wei@ht," replied. Bob. but lots in feelia'AChristmas gifts. This is the time when a little money buys lot of things to warm the heart"
 "Sho!' said the old farmer. when you're as old as am, you won't be spendin money for Christmas, Thars no one but me and mother now. Wed look fine making Christmas presents.
 That you woald. sponded the younger man promptly, and it would make good Aunt Pettigrew feel ten years younger. She's had a pretty sad time. i wish you would do somethin' to 'hven her up."

Three Governors on Good Roads.

MaryIand-Lloyd Lowndes CEx-GoVer- noF): The two clements. aside from cli- mate location and other natural advan- tages, which are most attractive to set tiers, are low taxes and good roads.
 New Hampshire-Frank W. Rollins The subject was discussed by the master of the State Grange in his recent address to that body, in which he recommended the appointment of a State engineer In the interest of good roads. which sugges- ton was indorsed by the Grange %The details of any comprehensive plan for the permanent improvement of our highways must necessarily be worked out with care and such general plan must be in part the result of experience. Yet the direct and indirect benefits to the State from such improvements are such as to enlist at this time your most earnest efforts that some beginning be made.
 New York-TheOdore Roosevelt-The legislature should see that the excellent movement to better our roads is con- tinued, and that 1t is conducted primarily in the interests of the farmers and mar ket gardeners.
