Duck Hawks Return to Postal Tower

structed with the remnants, feathers,
bones and feet of the hawks victims,
and so the death of the marauders was
decreed.
The duck howk Is none too common
a bird, and ornithologists and bird
lovers generally do not think a species
SO interesting should be forced to e1-
tinction even though 1t does kill a few
game birds. The bird lovers argued
that if killing game were to be made
capital offense good many men
would suffer There was a protest
against the killing of the hawks and
they were spared.
The postoffice department building
is situated at one of the busiest COR
ners in Washington, but the fact that
the building is in the city has been
a protection to the birds. 1t is not
unusual to see them shoot by the win
dows of the higher office structures as
they go their way to the hunting
grounds.
The first assistant postmaster gen.
eral Is an ornithologist, and the
chances are that If any suggestion Is
made that it would be good thing to
kill the hawks they will find a ready
champion in Frank H. Hitchcock. The
biological survey also Is interested In
the hawks.

Being Conducted by
Rev, Bass and His
Assistant.

The spacious auditorium of the
Central M. E. Church is not large
enough TO contain all the people
who are anxious to hear Rev. j.
NJ. Bass, the Evangelist, who has
been holding meetings there the
past ten days.
Rev. Bass is one of the most
enthusiastic speakers that has ever
visited this city. He comes out
clearly and shoots his darts right
and left without fear. He is a thur
oily cOnsecrated, godly man, and
his messages are fraught with an
earnestness which can only come
through prayerful generalization.
He is ably assisted by Rev.
Cowan, whose singing is feature,
and also by many workers from the
congregation. Already a great
number have expressed a dd&re to
lead better life and the results of
these meeting, following as they do
those recently held at the Baptist
and Central Christian churches, are
working good in Fitzgerald that
will last on down through the ages
to the end of time.
A few of the axioms of Rev.
Bass are:
eff every church member in
Fitzgerald would get converted we
could win the whole world for
Christ"
"Don't sit there and try to look
pretty-for you can't. Look at
me-"
''There will be a whole lot of
men who will find it necessary to
90 to Macon, or Savannah, or some
other place, on business while the
revival is in progress.
