FIRE THREATENED VALD0S-
TA'S BUSINESS SECTION.
Quick Work of Firemen Prevented
Disastrous COnfngrntion.

Quick Work of Firemen Prevented
Disastrous COnfIngration.
Valdosta, Ca, Jan. 2S.-Valdosta's
new fire department had another OPP
portunity of showing what it could do
last night, and its quick work probably
saved one of the handsomest business
blocks in the city. The fire was in the
dental laboratory and office of DIR. c.
Wilmington, which was also temper
arily occupied by DR.. Roy Thomas.
The fixtures and apparatus of both
dentists were in the rooms and the
damage to them from the fire and wa
ter amounts to about $780, covered by
insurance. The fire was discovered by
a negro boy, who gave the alarm. The
flames were then filling both rooms
and were gradually eating their way to
other parts of the large three-story
building. The firemen responded
promptly and the fire was extinguished
with the chemical machines.
The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated from a little alcohol lamp which
DR.. Wilmington was using with vuI-
canizer before leaving his office, and
which he forgot to extinguish. The
building is in the heart of the business
portion of the city.

LORDS SUPPER AT
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

Rev. DIR. ]. D. Jordan announces
that the First Baptist Church will have
a different order of service next Sun
day night, perhaps different from any
held in the history of the church Or.
Jordan's sermon will be on the signifi-
canoe of the Lords Supper, after
which the supper will be served.
DR.. Jordan says that this is done TO
especially accommodate the members
who are so situated that they cannot
attend the morning service. The hour
is appropriate as the Lords Supper
was instituted at an evening service.
This kind of service will be held from
time to time, perhaps about every
three months. While this service is
a new order of things in Savannah 1t
is not new lin the country, as some
churches only observe the Lords Sup
per at the evening service.

they say Good morning! How are

"A profound error" disagreed Belin-

What was probably the best concert
that the Savannah Music Club has yet

AT THE THEATER

An attraction that never fails to
draw large audiences, AL. H. Wilson,
'The Golden-voiced Singer" held the
boards yesterday, and, in spite of the
disagreeable weather, met with the
usual favor To song-loving Savan-
of interest, and there is probably no
annual visitor to the theater received
with more enthusiasm. Whatever
ones personal predictions, it is i'm
possible not to recognize that the pop
ular taste is unqualifiedly pleased.
The performance was the same as
that of last year, THE Prince of Tat
ters," with almost the same cast,
which is in several respects a good
one, and with the same good stage set
ting. All the songs were encored to
the echo, and curtain calls were re-
peated and insistent. After the second
act Mr.. Wilson made a brief and hui
morous curtain speech, expressing his
thanks.

This company carries sixteen great
singers, six well-known comedians

rich and gorgeous. In the parade suits,
