GETTING READY.
Prepations Being Made for Tri-
State Y. NJ. C. a. Conven-
tion to Convene
April g.

/ The different dommittees hay-
ing in charge the work of max
ing arrangements for the annual
meeting of the Tri- State Young
Mems Christian Association
which is TO conevene in this city
on Saturday, April 9th, and re-
remain in session four days, have
been quite busy during the past
week completing the arrangements
regarding the program, the en-
tertainment of delegates and
other important details which
must be looked after before the
convention opens.
So far, the entertainment COM
mittee has experienced more
trouble than any of the rest. as
the people appear to be some
what backward in offering to en-
tertain the delegates. Col. H.
NJ. WaddelI, the chairman Of the
committee, informs The COM
mercial that while there will prob
able be about 200 delegates to en-
tertain that up to date home for
only about 125 have been secured
There are perhaps more fine resi-
dences in Columbus than in any
place of similar size in Mississippi,
and her citizens have alwayes
been known far and wide foI
their hospitality, so that it seems
a little singular that so much diff
ficulty should be experienced in
obtaining homes for these dele
gates, who are all high toned
Christian gentleman and members
of the most prominent families in
tho towns and cities in which
they live. The difficulty probaly
lies in the fact that there are
citizens who are not aware
that Columbus is expected to en-
tertain the delegates, and The
Commercial is requested to state
that all who are willing to en-
tertain delegates are urged to re-
port the fact Col WaddeIl, the
of the entertainment
committe, at once, Those who /
are not prepared to open their
houses and VINO feel interested in /
he cause of Chritianity and in

erent hotels of the city.
The initial meeting will be held
n the lecture room for the First
Methodist Church on Saturday,
A pril tbs 9th at eight o'clock in

Harry Hawkins, of Birmidgham,
hough it is not certain that this
gentleman will be able to be
present, and in the event that
le is absent the meeting will be
,alled TO order by Secretary
Norman, and a permanent
chairman elected.
On Sunday, April the 10th

ant churches of the city vii! be
illed by the visiting delegates,

This is beyond any question of doubt
one of the best repertoire plays on the
road to-day. The scenic equipment is
very elaborate. There is genuine comedy
all through the play and few touches
of pathos strike as true and convincing.
The story is a simple and sweet one ap-

The major portion of the noise on the

regiments of all classes of citizens
from the small negro mummers to the
occasional portly and respectable cfti-
