BENNErTsv1LLE, Oct. 22.-Thepro-
tracted meeting which has been con-
Quoted by the holiness people here
for the past 18 days closed last night.
The preaching was done by Revs.
"Bud" Robinson and Will Huff and
the music was under the direction OF
Mr.. Charles Tillman. These services
have been attended by great multi
tudes of people and hundreds OF peo.
pie have professed conversion and
sanctifcation under the preaching
and singing of these men.
This is the third visit of Revs. Huff
and Robinson and they have exerted
a wonderful influence upon their
hearers.
Mr.. Baxter McLendon, the pro-
prietor of barber shop in Bennetts-
Vile that would do credit to any city,
was converted last year under the
preaching of these ministers, and al
ter profession of sanctifcation
this year has sold out his business and
left today for college to prepare HIM
self to preach.
Yesterday at the afternoon service
Rev. Huff in less than five minutes
raised 1900 to defray the college ex-
penses of MIR. McLendon and last
night a purse of SITS was collected In
a hat collection for Mr.. McLendon,
who is a man with a wife and two
children and with little money. His
life has been a wild one for the
greater part up to last year when ne
was converted.
The contributions indicate the In
fuence the meeting has had as well
as the confidence the contributors
have in McLendon.

BASEBALL NOTES.

1t is understood that the baseball game
to have taken place today at Dexter
between Coburn Classical Institute Of
Waterville and Dexter High school will
not be played owing to the serious illness
of Frank Wheeler, who resides very near
the ball ground.
If the rumor accredited about Collins
is true, he was not much of a loser by
leaving Boston. Before he departed he
communicated to a friend that he receiv-
ed $1,000 bonus for giving his consent 10
go to Philadelphia. and as his contract
for 1907 calls for $500, by his own STATE
ment he will receive $11,5GO for playing
ball.

illness of several months. The whole
community sorrows with the stricken pa
rents, the invalid grandmother and the
four little brothers The Oldest of the
children, and always thoughtful for 9TH
ers, IneZ, though SO young in years, was
already the friend ana helper of her
mother, the guide and comforter of her
brothers. An earnest and intelligent stu
dent, of both books and nature, she had
within herself the sources of a great hap

with her wherever she went She was
passionately fond of music and made
rapid progress in that study. Her sweet
voice will long be missed in the Sunday
school and among her schoomateS While
at play about year ago she fell in such
q way as to injure a knee, apparently
only slightly. But the injury got no bet
ter and in the autumn she was taken to
the City hospital at Augusta for treat
ment. Two surgical operations were per-
formed upon the diseased limb the last
being an amputation. The wound healed
well and for some months her friends
hoped for complete recovery. But for
two months she had suffered intense pain
which ceased only when her eyes closed
here to open in the Beautiful City. Dur
ing all this time no word of complaint
or shadow of discomfort was ever heard
or seen. Always cheerful always hope
full, with many plans for study and self
improvement, she herself was the COM
rorter Of all who grieved for her mis-
fortune. She met the messenger from be-
yond when he came. with the same beau
tiful resignation. and cheered and con-
soled to the very last those whom her
going has left desolate. The funeral ser

ering of relatives, friends and neighbors

the blossoms she loved 50 well--the face
of one whose life was n poem and whose
death was on inspiration.
