SERMON TO ODD FELLOWS.

Rev. A. R. Bond, pastor of the Bap-
tist Church, preached sermon Sunday
morning to the Marietta.Odd Fellows OF
the Cherokee and Marble City Lodges.
A large number of Odd Fellows we're
present, filling nearly all Of the center
pews. A large congregation was also
present. A full choir Of fine singers
rendered beautiful music, accompanied
by organ, piano, violins and cornet.
The occasion OF the sermon was the
89th anniversary Of American Odd Fell
lowship, Rev. Mr.. Bonds scriptural
reading lesson was from Luke 10th
chapter, the GOOD Samaritan" His
text was from the 18th chapter of John
and l4th verse: "Ye are my friends if
ye do the things command you" The
subject was the Benefits of Applied
Christianity" The thought that was
most impressive was that every act of
benevolence, motive, and purpose, in
relieving the distress of our fellow-men
should have as it's prompting inspira-
tion the spirit of the Master. He beau
tifulIy and eloquently portrayed vital
Christianity in connection with the
cardinal principles of the Order,
Friendship, Love and Truth" The
sermon was one of great power, beauty
and excellence-about the finest we
have heard in many day. The pastor
was thanked by many who heard this
magnificent sermon. On every side we
have heard nothing but praise and
commentator.

WHEN PROSPERITY nlLLRETURN.

The number Of idle freight cars,
which was over $40 900 during January
and part of February. was reduced to
296 600 in the middle of March.
Figures for the brginniDg of April
show a net surplus of 305 900 cars, again
making ali unfavorable reading of the
commercial and industrial barometer.
People are asking on every hand when
good times will return. There is an
answer in the tables which show no
further back than last October and No
vember shortages instead Of a surplus
in freight-carrying equipment.
Prosperity will be re-established when
these freight cars are all at work on the
main lines, instead of standing empty
on the side tracks.-New York World.

The Georgia fruit crop is now practi-
cslly assured, and it will be bumper,
unless something decidedly out of the
ordinary irtervenes. Fruitgrowers are
fearful that the abundance of the yield
will have the effect of making prices
low, but that will be far from an un-
mixed evil, Lower prices will mean
greatly increased consumption, and
that persons OF small incomes will be
able to enjoy the luscious peaches,
pears and grapes in greater quantities
than for many seasons. There should
be very little waste of the crops, if har.
vest hands are found to be available, since
canneries now DOT the State. II the
denatured alcohol business was fairly
on the road to development, there
would not need to be any waste, since
all fruits will produce alcohol.-savan.

Burk reeled and threw his arms around William Ketzky's neck in aa effort to hold himself up, but was unable to do so and sunk to the ground. A physi- clan was called immediately and the sick man carried into the store and placed under an electric fan and given what temporary treatment that sug- gested itself to those present,
 After the physician arrived and ex. amined Mir. Burk he was sent to his hotel and given the best of attention and treatment, but notwithstanding this had another attack and for a long time 1t was feared that he was In seri- ous danger He recovered suficiently during the afternoon, however. to take the train with Mir. King for his home in Marion.
