REV. THOMPSON NOW IN CHARGE

Owing to the recent disaster to the
gospel tent, which was badly torn
and rent by the storm on Saturday,
the union meetings held daily on the
hotel plaza have since been conducted
at First Methodist church, where large
crowds attend each day.
Services were held at the church
Sunday and on yesterday.
Every effort is being made to repair
the damage to the tent and raise
the structure again, and when this is
done, which will be by tomorrow, daily
services will be resumed there.
Rev Allen Fort again filled the pull
pit on Sunday afternoon and night
preaching forceful and eloquent SER
mons at both services. Despite the
Indictment weather, a great congre-
cation heard this able young minis
ter upon each occasion.
Yesterday Rev. Nathan Thompson
of Griffin, came to assist in conduct
ing the tent meetings.
Mr.. Thompson preached both in
the afternoon and at night at First
Methodist church to large congre-
cations. His style is most pleasing
and his delivery clear, concise and
convincing. He will conduct the
meetings during all of this week.
Mr.. Fort may conclude his work
here for the present, much to the re-
greet of hundreds, who have heard
him during the past week.

Mr.. SAMUEL P. BOONE
DEAD AT HOME HERE.
AGED Citizen of Americas
Passes Away.
SUMMONS CAME QUITE SUDDENLY
though Long in III Health His Imme-
diate Sickness Was of a Days

Americas.
SUMMONS CAME QUITE SUDDENLY

Mr.. Samuel P. Boone passed away
at $50 o'clock yesterday evening at his
residence on College street, the enc
following a brief illness from indi
gestion, although he had been il
very feeble health for many years
The passing away of this genia
gentleman, though ripe in years anC
after a long career of usefulness will
cause sorrow among many friends
in Americas who esteemed him high
ly.
He was seized with indigestion OF
Sunday and survived but few hours
the end coming very peacefully a
the close of day yesterday.
Up to a late hour last night the
funeral arrangements had not beer
completed, pending the expected com
ing of relatives. The interment how
ever, will not take place until Wed
nesday, even at the earliest.
One of the Oldest citizens of Am.
CIRCUS has thus passed away.
Though a North Carolinan by birth
Mr. Boone had resided for more thar
half a century in Americas and was
thoroughly Georgian by adoption
and most estimable citizen.
He was born in Fayetteville, N
c., on March 23d, 1882 and, there
fore, was more than rs years old.
Early in 1856 he removed to Am
CIRCUS and for more than fifty years
has resided here, an honored and es-
teemed citizen who, during a long
business career, was fully identified
with the city's growth and progress
and commercial interests.
Upon coming to Americas he en-
gage in the furniture business, but
later disposed of his interests there
in and became connected with the
large house of Harold, Johnson &
Co Here he remained until failing
health ten years ago forced his re-
tirement.
In 1866 he was married@to Miss
Elizabeth Harold, who, with a son
and daughter, Mr.. T. II. Boone and
Mrs. Walter R. Dye, survive him
This union was an ideally happy one
and the beloved family have the SYM
pathy of all in this first breaking of
the tie.
Mr.. Boone was a member of Cal
vary Episcopal church, and than he
none other was more devoted there
to.
About year ago he received a
slight stroke of paralysis, and while
able since to go about, accompanied
by an attendant, he never fully re-
gained his strength, and his decline
in general health is largely attributed
to the paralytic stroke.
Mr.. T. Fl. Boone arrived last night
from Macon. Mrs. Dye is in Santa
Fe and cannot be reached by wire
at this time, unfortunately.
