A DIVISION OF THE DIOCESE
Will Be Discussed at the Diocesan Convention in Sd
Vannah In Nav.

to be held at Richmond next fall would
have to concur. At the coming con-
Yention delegates to this triennial con
ference will be elected
At the last diocesan convention, held
In Columbus, the delegates from the
Americus church voted IN favor eff q
division of the diocese. 1t is not
known that there has been any change
of sentiment on the part of the Episco-
palians of this city and it is regarded
as probable that they will adhere to
their position unless grave reasons
are presented for change of front
If the division is made Americas
would be in the Southern diocese.
Calvary church is in prosperous
condition. It's membership is now
seventy five, it has no financial incum-
branees, and its future is regarded as
very promising.
The Savannah New says:
The third day of the convention has
been left open for the division ques-
ton. AT the last convention the divi
, sion question was voted upon af1irma-
lively, but the committee which made
the report was continued another year.
Meanwhile the churches are to vote on
the subject individually and the result
of their action will be reported.
"A rector of one of the local churches
said yesterday that he doesn't think
any of the ministers look upon the divi-
, sion question as settled, 1t is Bishop
Nelson's wish that the state be divided
into two dioceses, but it appears that
questions of finance may obstruct the
plan. 1t was stated that there is no
very keen interest in the affirmative
side of the division programme.
Even if the convention here should
decide to cut the state into two dio-
ceses, before the change would become
effective it would have to be approved
by the General Conference which VIII
be held in Richmond next fall"

Rev. j. B. Lawrence and Mess. L. B
Harold, John A. Cobb and q. Morgan
Eldridge will attend the diocesan con-
vention of the Episcopal church, meet
ing in Savannah. at Christ church, on
May Is.
From kilograms sent out from Savan-
nah it appears that the question of a
division of the Georgia diocese is to be
brought up again, and that obstacles
may be thrown in the way of consum-
nation of this project. A dispatch
sent out from that city says
The question of the division of the
Episcopal Diocese of Georgia into
two dioceses will come up for final
action before the diocesan convention
1t is said that it is by no means safe
for those who favor division to accept
it as settled fact that it will be de-
eided upon. for there are grave OBJ
stacles in the way that a majority OF
the convention may either regard as
insuperable or inadvisable to be wres-
tied with at the time. There is a strong
element among the Episcopalians who
feel that the diocese should continue
as an integer.
Bishop Nelson is an advocate OF
division, feeling that the diocese has
attained growth that makes this ad-
yisable and that the interests of the
church could be better conserved
Were the division made, Savannah
would probably be the residence OF
the bishop of this section, while the
residence of the bishop of the northern
section would be Atlanta.
1T is said that the obstacles that are
urged against division are of a financial
character, relating ito church holdings
These may be the rocks upon which the
plans of the advocates of division will
be wrecked.
SHOULD a decision be reached to
divide the diocese, as is not thought
probable here, the general conference

Brick Work on Allison Building Being
Rushed Forward Now,

The brick work on the rear of the
Allison building is practically com
pleted. In front the second story has
been about finished and the work will
be rushed to the roof. The cream hard
pressed bricks will make an exceeding

The special sale of the Allison Furn-

Passed Away in Morning
Dawn.
FROM HER RESIDENCE
AmeriCuS MOurnS the Loss of One Of
Her NObIeSt Christian WOmen-.-
The End Game Peacefully
on tuesday.

With the coming of the dawn yester-
day the gentle spirit of Mrs. Clara Bur-
ton Crisp, released from its tenement
of clay, winged its flight to realms on
high. AS peacefully as babe in its
mothers arms, she sank into the long
sleep that knows no waking.
And in her passing away Americas
mourns the loss of one of her purest,
noblest christian women, one who loved
her friends and in turn was beloved
among all here.
OF her it can truly be said none
knew her but to love her;or named her
but in praise"
Her sixty years upon earth were
filled with deeds of love, charity and
benevolence, and in the golden sunset
she looked back upon life well spent,
A devoted wife and mother, ever, a
sincere friend, her gentle presence was
an inspiration, always.
Among women she shOne preeminent t
like priceless gem in a coronet or a
bright particular star in cloudless
armament.
Nor did years of physical suffering
change her sweet, sunny nature or
bring cloud to her brow, ever.
Patiently and with christian fortitude
she Doe the ills which medical skill
could not allaY, and was always the
same sweet, gentle woman.
Since the death of her distinguished
husband, Hon. Charles Frederick
Crisp, she has lived quietly at her
beautiful home in Americus, sur
rounded by those near and dear to her.
Mrs. Crisp was the eldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Burton, a pioneer
family of Southern Georgia, One Sis
ter, Mrs. J. N. Scarborough, alone re-
mains OF the family. Mrs. Crisp is
survived by two sons, Judge Charles r.
and Fred Crisp, and two daughters.
There are Mrs. d. F. Davenport and
Mrs. C. S. Glover of this city.
The funeral services will be conduct

Do You Open Your Mouth

Like a young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you?
Or. do YOU want to know something OF the
composition and character of that which
Won take into your stomach whether as
food or medicine?
Most intelligent and sensible people
nowadays insist on knowing what they
emplov whether as food or as medicine.
Dr. Pierce believes they have perfect
right to insist upo1 such knowledge. So he
publishes, broadcast and on each bottle
wrapuer. what his medicines are made OF
and yeriies it under oath. This he feels
he can we'll afford to do because the more
the ingredients of which his medicines
are made are studied and understood the
more will their superior curative virtues
be appreciated.
For the cure of woman's peculiar weak
nesses. irregularities and arrangements,
giving rise to frequent headaches, back
ache. dragging down pain or distress in
lower abdominal or pelvice region, accom-
panied, ofttimes, with a debilitating,
nelyic. catarrhal drain and kindred Symp-
toms of weakness, DR.. Picrce's Favorite
Prescription is most efficient remedy.
It is equally effective in curing painful
periods, in giving strength to nursing
mothers and in preparing the system OF
fhe expectant mother for baby'S coming,
thus rendering childbirth safe and COM
paratively painless. The "Fayorite Pre-
scription is most potent, strengthening
tonic to the general system and to the
organs distinctly feminine in particular.
It is also soothing and invigorating
neryine and cures nervous exhaustion,
nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria,
spasms. chorea or st. Vitus's dance, and
other distressing nervous symptoms at
tendant upon functional and organic dis
eases of the distinctly feminine organs.
a host of medical authorities of all the
several schools of practice, recommend
each of the several ingredients of which
SFayorite Prescription" is made for the
cure of the diseases for which it is claimed
to be a cure. You may read what they
say for yourself by sending postal card
request for a free booklet of extracts from
the leading authorities, to Doctor r. V.
Pierce, Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y, and it will come to
you by return post.

1t is proposed to arrange for a ball
