Extensive purchases of gold lards have been made recently by cne Messrs. Aldrich and the success att tained in the first shaft has given so much encouragement that they are to branch out in the industry. The pro duction of gold at our mines tnis year." said MT. T. H. Aldrich, Sr., when questioned, will show decided increase as compared to the out put in 1904, I cannot deny that the production this year was prot- itabIe and there is no doubt put that gold can be found in prohtaoic quantity. The development in this state is yet in its infancy There is con siderable improvement needed to get gold on big paying basis. stampine machines and other apparatus are needed. Scs1e of our gold is sent to Georgia and other States to be work cd up into marketable shape. How ever. we are confident that the indus try can be worked up to a big pront and we will increase our capacity considerably in the next few weeks The year just coming to a close was interesting to us in the new under taking but we have no complaint 10 make"

OLD TIME GLASS MEETING.
Rev. E. NJ. Holland Breaches at Metho-
 dist Proafestnut Church.

dist Prostestnnt Church. The old time class meeting as held by Wesley in the days when the very name of Methodism was "a power against sin in high places, is again finding it's way to the Methodist al- tars Last night a meeting of this type was held by Rev. F. M. Holland after the sermon at the Methodist Protes- tant Church.
 This discourse that preceded it was an able exposition of the fact that in order to inherit eternal life. .ye must
 be boEn again" the vital teaching or the Methodist church. This lesson truly learned is known and read of
 all men. The pastor earnestly pleaded for lives in accord with the blood washed who have been redeemed and are scoffed and scorned by the world Hans. and are outcasts so far us the world is concerned.
 The morning service held by Mr. Holland was a spiritual one. too. There were three accessions to the church. A spirit of revival has lodged in the Bibb street church and with the pres ent outlook this will be the best year that has been seen in the Methodist Protestant church in years. The power
 of the gla Id se tine nsM FslgSn Is being church is in most receptive state and great results are hoped for. The Sunday school yesterday elected IC. A. Mcdaniel as superintendent for the ensuing year. There was an in- crease in attendance at this session and the spirit of revival seems to be going through the Sunday school as well as every other branch of the work.
 This church is the recipient of con gratulations in securing such an ener- getic active and alert pastor for the new conference year.
 There will be services regularly each Sunday morning and night, and Sun day School at 9:30 o'clock. Every
 body is cordially invited to attend any and all the services.
