A BIG CROWD FOR
ORATORICAL EVENT
1T Is EXPECTED THAT FULLY A
THOUSAND VISITORS WILL
ATTEND CONTEST IN
THIS CITY FRIDAY.
There Will Be A Baseball Game i'm
the Afternoon at Lake Park.
And the Contest Will Be
Held at & O'Clock.

Every mail brings letters to the
local hotels asking for reservation OF
rooms for visitors who are coming
here TO attend the intercollegiate
Oratorical Contest which is TO be held
in this city next Friday night, and
the managers of these hostelrieS are
wondering how they are going to be
able to accommodate the large num-
ber of strangers who will visit Col
umbus on that occasion. In addition
to the oratoricaf contest, which Will
take place Friday night, there Will
be game of baseball between teams
representing the State University at
Starkville on the Lake Park diamond
Friday afternoon, and this seems to
be the real magnet which bids fair
to attract such a great number OF
people. The A. and M. College and
the State University have two of the
strongest college teams in the State,
and the students of both institutions
are enthusiastically loyal to their re-
spective clubs.
There is a league game between
Columbus and Vicksburg scheduled
to be played at Lake Park on Friday
afternoon, but President Compton
has given the directors of the local
association authority to start this
game at any hour that best suits their
convenience, the only proviso being
hof ha OF tyrr<tN
hours before sundown, and arrange
ments have been perfected whereby
the college boys will have plenty or
time for their game. There will be
double-header, the league game be-
ginning promptly at 2:30 o'clock and
the game between the college teams
being called at the conclusion of the
contest.
The oratorical contest will take
place at the chapel of the Industrial
Institute and College at eight o'clock
Friday night, and the four contest
ants will be Mr.. A. F. Mecklenburger
of the University, Mr.. w. F. MurraEI
of Millsaps College, Mr.. w. G, Rob-
erts of the A. and NJ College, and
Mr.. J. D. Stone of Clinton College.
Arrangements have been made for
special trains from Oxford, Clinton
and Starkville, and Jackson will also
send a large delegation. The results
of both the baseball game and the
oratorical contest are being awaited
with interest throughout the State,
and all eyes will be focused on Col
umbus next Friday.

AN ELABORATE
PROGRAM ARRANGED
FOR CELEBRATION OF EIGHTY
EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF
ODD FELLOWSHIP ON
THURSDAY NEXT
Anniversary Address Will be Deliy-
cred by Hon. j. I. Sturdivant,
and Other Interesting Fea-
lures Will be Given.

The eighty-eigkth anniversary OF
Union Lodge No. 35, I. o. o. F., at
their hall on Main street Thursday
night, May 9th. Acting Noble Grand
Brooks MCGOWAN appointed excellent
committees to look after the different
features of the celebration, and a fine
program has been arranged for the
occasion. The principal feature of
the evening will be the anniversary
address, which will be delivered by
Hon. J. |. Sturdivant, who enjoys the
distinction of being an orator of un-
usual ability. He is always at home
on the platform or at the bar, but
his talents are peculiarly adapted to
social occasions, where polish and
erudition are the prime requisites,
and the Odd Fellows could not have
secured an orator better qualified to
deliver the anniversary address.
In addition to Mr.. Sturdivant's ad-
dress there will be number of other
interesting features, as evidenced by
the program which follows this arti-
Gle. The exercises will be public and
will give to the people of Colum bus
their first opportunity of viewing the
interior of the handsome building re-
Gently erected by the local lodge.
The public is cordially invited to be
present, and Odd Fellows are ex-
tended a special invitation to come
out and bring their wives.
The following is the program:
Hymn, Praise God, from Whom
All Blessings Flow''-Assembly
Prayer, Brother G. F. McCown.

BAPTISTS TO BUILD
HANDSOME CHURCH
CONGREGATION OF FIRST BAP-
TIST CHURCH WILL ERECT
HANDSOME STRUCTURE
AT AN EARLY DATE.
New Structure Will Take the Place
of the Present One on the Cor
ner of Seventh Street and
North Second Avenue.

At a meeting of the congregation
of the First Baptist church which
was held last Sunday morning, it was
decided to erect a new edifice TO take
the place of the present building,
which the congregation has out
grown. The new church will cost
about $50, 900, and of this amount
the sum of $4,000 was subscribed
Sunday morning. The remainder will
be raised within ten days, and work
will commence as soon as the plans,
which are being prepared by Archi-
tect R. H. Hunt, can be finished and
the contract for the erection of the
structure awarded
The congregation has been grow
ing very rapidly ever since Rev. W.
A Hewitt. the present efficient and
energetic pastor, took charge of the
church Last year it was found nee
essary to provide increased accommo-
dations, and the erection of a new
building was discussed at that time,
such a step having been recommend
ed by the building committee. The
plan met with opposition on the part
of a few members, who, on account
of sentimental reasons, did not wish
to see the old church torn down.
Additional accommodations were alb
solutely necessary, however, and to
meet the demand an annex was erect
ed. This scheme was only temporar-
~
tinued to grow, and an Increased
seating capacity became an absolute
necessity. A building committee
consisting of Gen. S. D. Lee, Judge
J. T. Harrison, Messrs. w. n. Puck
ett, Henry Beard, E. c. Chapman, r.
E. Cheatham and w. A. Suber-was
appointed, and after consulting with
Architect Hunt and being advised by
him that there was no practical way
in which the present building could
be enlarged SO as to increase the
seating capacity of the main audi
torium, this committee decided to
submit a report recommending the
erection of new edifice. Their re-
port was submitted at a meeting of
the church members which was held
last Sunday, and was ratified by the
congregation.
The new church, as stated above,
will cost about $4,000, and will be
erected according to plans now being
prepared by Architect Hunt. The
new building will be a thoroughly
modern structure, and in it will be
placed the elegant memorial windows
which add so much to the beauty of
the present edifice. Work will COM
mence at an early date and yill be
pushed rapidly forward to compile
ton.

FORM A LOCAL
BROTHERHOOD
BRANCH OF THE BROTHERHOOD
OF LOCAL ENGINEERS WAS
ORGANIZED HERE ON
SUNDAY MORNING.
Will be Known as Suquetonchee Di-
vision No. 719, and Was Organ
lied by Mr.. II. B. McPher-
son, With 20 Members.

Suquetonochee Division No. 719,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
eers, was organized here last Sunday
morning, the initial meeting having
been held in the Woodmen of the

engineer of the Tuscaloosa division.
The local division starts out with
twenty nine charter members, of
whom fourteen We're present at the
meeting Sunday morning, the remain
ing fifteen men having been out on
the road. Most of these men were
formerly members of the Avondale
division at Avondale, Ala, but the
recent change in management of the
Greenville division of the Southern
Railway, on which large number of
the engineers are employed, made it
necessary TO establish a division some
where in this vicinity, and as the
majority of the men affected by the
change reside in Columbus it was
tions between the engineers and the
railway officials are most cordial, the
engineers having recently received an
increase of ten per cent. in wages.
The division elected the following
officers: Chas. H. Brown, chief en-
gineer; w. G. Jones, first engineer;
Warren Davis, second engineer; J..
l.. FAINT, guide; r. c. McClanahan,
chaplain; Jno. w. Bealle, first assist
ant engineer; G.. F. Brown, second
assistant engineer; r. L. Speed, third
assistant engineer; l.. E. Coburn, sec
retary of insurance.
Mr. Mcpherson, who organized the
local division, is well known in Col
umbus, having made this city his
headquarters for several years. On
his recent trip he was accompanied
by his wife, and while here he and
Mrs. Mcpherson were the guests of
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Brown at their
home on North Third avenue.

LOCALS LOSE But
PLAY GREAT BALL
COLUMBIANS LOST BOTH GAMES
WITH MERIDIAN. But YES
TERDAY'S GAME WAS
VERY CLOSE ONE.
Last Game of Meridian Series Will
be Played on Lake Park Dia-
mond This Afternoon, and
Vicksburg Follows.

Beneath leaden skies and in a
day, Columbus inaugurated her two
weeks season at Lake Park by los
ing to Meridian Monday afternoon,
the visitors having been victorious by
a score of thirteen to two. Casey
started in to pitch for Columbus, and
the doughty little twirler evidently
was not feeling we'll. Samples slug
gers sampled his curves freely and
feasted to safety on his drops and
in-shoots. No matter how deceptive
the said curves and in-shoots might
have seemed to the spectators, they
were easy marks for the Meridian
batsmen, who pasted the ball SO re-
lentlessly that the Columbians in the
outer garden were compelled on sew
eral occasions to chase themselves
into a very pretty but nevertheless
very~. damp little lake which lay al
most hidden in right field, having
been formed there by the rain which
had fallen during the forenoon.
OS IL 1ldy CCCA put Ii INC
box at the outset of the game, the
Columbians would have won, and
then again maybe they would not.
May yielded FIVE hits and allowed
three men to walk. He, as well as
Casey, received poor support, the
work of the Columbus f1elders hav-
ing been abominable. According to
the official score, Columbus is charg-
ed with eight errors, and every one
of theme were costly.
Meridian has a bunch of fast ball
players, and in Guy Sample has a
manager who is a gem. Columbus
started out with a batting streak,
having her only two runs in the first
inning, and had it not been for Sam
pie, Shulz, who was on the firing line
for the visitors, would have gone up
in the air. The Meridian manager,
by words of advice and encourage
ment, steadied his pitcher down, and
he pitched a winning game. Sample
is very watchful, and at all times has
his men not only under close surveil~
ance, but under complete control.
