MR.. LEWIS BEGINS
PASTORATE TODAY
NEWLY APPOINTED PASTOR OF
FIRST METHODIST CHURCH
HAS ARRIVED - WILL
PREACH TO-DAY.
DIR. Wells. Who Succeeds Rev. s. Il.
Pope rs Pastor OF the Second
Methodist Church, Is Ex-
pected This Week

Rev. T. W. Lewis, who succeeds
Dr. ]. W. ShoaE as pastor of the
First Methodist church, has arrived
| in the city, and will take up his work
today, conducting the regular morn
ing and evening services. Mr.. Lewis
returns to Columbus after an abb
sence of four years, and is cordially
welcomed to the city. He served
| as pastor of the First Methodist
church from 1900 until 1904, when
he was removed TO another station,
the sole cause of his removal having
been that his time here had expired.
The church never had a more eff
cient or a more universally beloved
pastor He enjoyed the friendship,
respect and esteem not only of his
congregation, but of the people of
Columbus generallgs and the fact
that he is to resun his old work
here is source of eradication to his
numerous friends and admirers.
DR.. M. H. Wells. who succeeds Rev.
S. L. Pope as pastor of the Second
Methodist church, has not yet ar
rived, but is expecs reach the
city this week, and will Immediately
take up his pastoral duties. The
work of Mr.. Pope, who goes to SEN
atobia next year, has been of high
order, and his departure is a source
of genuine regret to the congrega-
ton which he has so faithfully serv-
ed. Mr.. Pope will occupy the pulpit
of the local church for the last time
today, and there will doubtless be
large congregations in attendance
upon both the morning and evening
services. DR.. Wells, who succeeds
Mr.. Pope, is ripe scholar and a gen
tleman possessed of unusual foren-
sic ability. He is a man of advanced
years, and short time since i'll
health forced him to temporarily re-
tire from active work, but his health
has recently improved and he will re-
work at the prosperous little church
in East Columbus.
Rev. w. R. Gudelock, who succeeds
Rev. w. c. Galceran as pastor of the
Columbus circuit, will take up his
work this week. Mr.. Galceran goes
to Brooksville, and carries with him
the best wishes of countless friends
for success in his new field. Mr.. Gal
ceran is universally beloved by the
people on the Columbus circuit,
among whom his work has been ear
nest, sincere and effective. His
health during the past year has not
been very good, and it was neces-
sary for him to take long rest last
summer, but his physical condition
has recently improved, and he goes
his new home with renewed vigor
and strength for the work which
awaits him there.

THE RIGHT OF WAY
TO BE SECURED
PROMOTERS OF ABERDEEN AND
sTOMBIGBEE VALLEY r. r.
TO SECURE RIGHT OF
WAY OVER LINE.
It Is Said as Soon as This Has Been
Accomplished Work OF Construc-
ton VIII Be Taken Up
and Pushed Forward.

The promoters of the Aberdeen &
Tombigbee Valley Railroad have de-
cided to secure all the right of way
from Okolona to Aliceville before
taking up the work of actual con-
struction It will be remembered
that when contractors began grad
ing the line last summer all the right
of way had not been secured, and
this seriously retarded the work,
finally causing it to be abandoned
altogether.
Mr.. Townsend, the gentleman who
has now undertaken the construction
of the line, is an experienced rail-
road builder, and his experience has
taught him that it is best to secure
the entire right of way for contem-
work of construction With this end
in view he has put two men in the
field, and they are now at work sign
ing up contracts with farmers and
other land owners along the route.
One of these men is an experienced
civil engineer who has been associ-
ated with Mr.. Townsend for a num-
ber of years, and the other is a local
man who is perfectly familiar with
the route and who knows personally
many of the citizens OF the country
through which the line traverses.
They will work together, and expect
to have contracts for all the right
of way signed up within a few weeks.
Mr.. Townsend has gone to Chicago,
but will return to Mississippi imme-
diately after the holidays, and will
personally look after the construc-
tion work. There are two grading
outfits to be brought here, one of
which is now in Colorado and the
other in Arkansas. These outfits will
be shipped here as soon as the date
at which grading is to begin has been
decided upon, but this date has not
as yet been fixed.

One hundred cars of coke were on hand when operations commenced, insurng continuous operation for some time.

The Lecturers Subject.


81 call my lecture Glass. said the
lecturer, mot because 1t says anything
about that subject, but because OF the
nature of it. To begin with, 1t is the
sort of lecture that anybody can see
through. Then l am liable to make
number of breaks in its delivery, after
which it will be full Of funny cracks.
In addition, it requires lot OF sand
to produce it, to say nothing of the
hot air employed. The agents have
blown it pretty much to the commit
tees.
Another point Of resemblance be-
tween my lecture and glass Is that
when cut it is much more valuable. |
shan't refer to the subject any more,
though it is not a safe one to drop.
The principal reason for my selection
Of this name anyway is my knowledge
of the fascination foreign titles have
for the American people"
But noticing that the audience had
hurried away the lecturer desisted.-

Fa.stidious Smokers.

of a group in the hotel lobby, 'that an
Indian is much more fastidious than
white man in the matter of smoking?

Of their war dances and the councils
afterward. You know, they sit in
circle on the ground and pass the pipe
of good fellowship around In silence.
Each man takes two or three puffs
and then hands the pipe to his next
neighbor But IL you notice you will
see that in the whole circuit which it
makes the mouthpiece is never wet
The red man merely lays the end OF
the stem against his lower lip and,
keeping his mouth partly open, draws
a deep breath Removing the pipe. he
exhales the smoke and then perhaps
repeats the process, but he never puts
the mouthpiece into his mouth In the
common 'paleface' fashion. If he is
asked to smoke a peace pipe after a
white man, he first wipes off the end
Of the pipestem where 1t has been In
the previous smokers mouth. New

A Feast of the Pharaohs.

Just in proportion as the Roman
banquets surpassed in extravaganza
modern affairs of the kind, SO may the
Roman functions be classed as imita-
tons of those of the potentates of the
east. We are told that during the reign
of the pharaohs the guests would ar
rive at midday. A slave stationed be-
hind each guest was ready to obey the
least command, and time passed quick
ly in feasting and merrymaking. And
when the senses seemed almost salts
fed a slave appeared bearing a small
figure of a mummy, which he exhibited
portentously to the jewellers, saying:
"Gaze here! Drink and be merry, for
when you die such will you ber' One
writer says that the proof still exists
pictorially that the fair sex of that
time and country drank more than was
good for them, due to this grewsome
stimulation probably, while their lords
and masters had frequently to be car

their fervered brows.-New York Trib-
