Maude Alvin had promised Edwin Raj
ston that she would become his wife,
her promise had been given two
months before, and there seemed to
be no reason why she should regret it..
There was certainly no fault to be
found with her prospective husband
as far as money, family and position
went, and Maudc was not ambitious.
Yet her aunt, Mrs. Chambers, who was
living over her own youth in this love
affair Of her favorite niece, had said
rather a%nxiously to the girls mother
only yesterday: DO you think Maude
is really happy?"
why shouldn't she he?" responded
Mrs. Alvin. Surely Edward is as
good a match for her as she is for
him."
Eyes, I know, but-do you think,
Fanny, that she loves him as a woman
should love the mar she is about to
marry?"
You must remember" replied her
sister, gravely, that Maude was never
like other girls in anything, and we
cannot expect her to be any different
IN this case. She is not to be judged
by ordinary standards, and is certainly
not o impressionable."
Mrs. Alvin ended her sentence with
an uneasy laugh, she seemed divided
between amusement and Impotence
when discussing this child of hers,
whom she but little understood.
just why Maude had promised to
wed Ralston she scarcely knew. Per
haps it was merely because he was
such an old friend, and his mood had

REV. ]. L. irwin HAS
GALL TO JACKSONVILLE.
Fine Field There For POpu-
: lar AmeriCuS Pastor.


Rev. j. L, Irwin, pastor OF the Amer
icus Presbyterian church, has re-
ceived a call to the Presbyterian
church in Jacksonville, Fla, and now
has the matter under adyisement.
Mr., Irwin has consulted with a
number of the leading members of his
church, but has not yet given a de-
cisive answer to the Jacksonville con-
gregation,
The Jacksonville church is,a very
tempting call. 1t is loa}ted in che
of the most progressive cities in the
South, the field is constantly broad
eniHg. and the opportunities for use
ful work are correspondingly great.
To a man of activity and Christian
zeal such call opens the door 10
years of constantly expanding sue
cessful service for mankind
A year ago there vas talk of Mr.
Irwin leaving Americus, but he re-
mained with the congregation here
He has been pastor of the Americas
church for seven years, and has
warmly attached to himself not only
the members of that faith, but the
community generally. His departure
would be greatly regretted by all and
his future career would be followed
with more than ordinary interest here.
During his pastorate the Americas
church has flourished. 1t has receiy-
ed many new members, but has also
lost heavily by members removing
from the city. 1t has been maintained
in an excellent financial condition,
has been very liberal, in proportion 10
its membership, to all of the church
causes and has been a decided factor
in maintaining the high level Of life
in the city
1t is presumed that Mr.. Irwin will
announce his decision at an early
date. 1t is probable that he would
remain with the church here until
along in January, in the event that le
accepts the Jacksonville call.

Turkey With Oyster Dressing and
Barbecued Pork.

Another superb dinner was feasted
on by number of citizens at the
baZar yesterday. The tenderest Of
turkey, with oyster dressing, and the
finest of cranberry sauce, barbecued
pork that was never excelled fot
choiceness, the most delicious of
country ham; these were the meats
that set the teeth of the epicureans on
edge. When added to these were the
sweetest of baked beans, the most del
icate of biscuits, clover made butter
cOffeet that brought dreams of far-osf
Arabia, and ambrosia and cakes that
would take prize in any cooking
contest, it can be readily appreciated
that many men took long after-dia-
ner nap and spent the remainder OF
the day yearning for noon time TO
come again.
Never was there more Jealous Or
more attractive corps of mattresses
than those that dispense the dinners
at the bazar Really the only wonder
is that the hall is able to accommo-
date the diners. Today there will be
another opportunity to revel in good
things for the palate.

The jury in the case, which con-

The facts connected with the mur-
der are easily recalled
The dead body of Capt. McRee, who
was in charge of the peach orchards
in the plantation, was found at dawn
one morning in July. at the edge of u
peach grove. Fifty yards away was
the dwelling of Patterson. No foot

came.
Only one shot was fired. probabiy
from inside or under the house, the
bullet severing a blood vessel in tho

Patterson fed the scene and was
captured next morning, concealed in

RUTLAND LOST BY
ONLY FOUR VOTES
Ills Own Act Lost Him LED
isldtiye Scat.
Beat Former Sheriff
Martin in the Country
Precincts.

After one of the warmest and most
closely contested elections that Lee
county has known in years Mr.. E. II.
Martin has been elected to the legis-
latnre to fill the ,unexpired term of
Representative Beaziey, resigned.
Mr.. Martin is one of the old war
horse politicians of the county, who
has held Office numerous times and
has been regarded as almost invinci-
BILE. His opponent was a young Harry
Hotspur, Mr.. Willis c. Rutland. we'll
known in Americus, who made one
OF the most enthusiastic campaigns
seen in that neck of the woods in Il
long time, Mr.. Rutland appealed for
chance for the young men, can
yassed the field thoroughly, and it was
believed that former Sheriff Martin
was going to meet his Waterloo. And
those conversant with the election say
that victory would have landed on the
Rutland banner had it not been for y
gracious act of the young candidate
himself
In the country precincts, which
closed at o'clock, Mr. Rutland was
successful, his majority there being
sixteen votes. The I4eesburg precinct
went against him, though. by twenty
votes, giving Martin the election by
majority of four. But this four i,
is claimed, would have been wiped out
had not Mr.. Rutland consented to
closing the polls half hour earlier
in the Leesburg precinct. than the
time agreed upon, 6 o'clock.
The daughter of the justice of the
peace conducting the election in Lees
burg was i'll and he was anxious
about her and desirous to get home
as speedily as possible. Sanguine as
to his success Mr.. Rutland agreed to
close the polls at $50 o'clock. After
that hour several persons favorable
to him would have voted. This act.
it is believed, cost him the election.
Mr.. Rutland made such magnifi-
cent fight that it Is not unlikely that
he will be heard from again In Lee
county politics. There is strong
feeling in that county in favor OF
young blood coming more to the front
and this sentiment is apt to grow
with every year.
