MISSED THE MARK.

DR.. w. D. Crum is accused of hav-
ing made it rain on the day he was
to speak here. One contemporary
went so far as to say that the commit
tee attempted to swindle the people
out Of their money, and that DR.. Crum
failed to draw a crowd. Those who
were in this city on the occasion re-
ferred to know that on the day set
for the celebration it rained, and the
conditions were the same the next
day. AS to the admission, the people
knew that they would have to pay
to hear DR.. Crum speak, and they
would have greeted him in large num-
bers had the weather been agreeable

IN DRY COLUMN.

Last Wednesday night at IL o'clock
the Statewide bill went into effect.
All the day there was unusual activ-
ity on the uptown streets The anus
ing scenes were numerous. One col
ored brother was seen with jug so
large he could not carry it in his hand,
so he had secured a wheelbarrow and
was rolling his refreshments to their
temporary resting place. Many other
antics were INDUCED in, but all
seemed to be in a pleasant humor.
Some are yet predicting that the
state will be greatly damaged f1nan-
cially. This conclusion comes to
some as a natural consequence. Some
men are actually out Of Job, but If
these same parties will exert them
selves a little they will be able to find
a job somewhere. Liquor is not ne
cessity. 1t is classified by some as a
luxury. The man able to have lux
uries can get it. The man not able
has no business with it. 1t is the
poor man and his family that suffers
by existence of saloons, and they are
better off without them.

Monday night marked the first
mortgage burning in Nashville
among A. M. E. churches. This was
carried out at St. Paul Church and a
very vital program was rendered.
The pastor of the church, Rev. w.

DR.. Boyd introduced as the first
speaker DR.. e. w. S. Hammond who
spoke very impressively. This d.
vine was followed by Mrs. e. W. s.
Hammond who read in splen-

next speaker introduced was Dr.
C. v. Roman, who spoke very

speeches were followed by beauti'

mortgage burning which was very Inn
pressive. The older female members
of the church were arranged in O
semicircle around the altar and were
supplied with torches, they waited
while the officers of every department
of the church marched around the

The settlement of the Georgia Rail

BISHOP FLIPPER AT RoYNToN.

Saturday, June 5, was Flipper Day in
Roynton and the bishop said 1t was
the grandest reception that had ever
been accorded him in any town in any
state There was a great street DEM
onstration, banners flying from bust
ness houses and by the long line OF
marchers, led by children, headed by
brass band.
When the speakers stand was
reached, the marchers, foot, horse and
vehicle, disbsnded, and the master OF
ceremonies, the writer, called the
crowd to order. After calling atten-
ton to the fact that Bishop J. S. Flip
per was the first bishop to visit Boyn-
ton, he introduced Mayor ]. H. Ogle,
who extended a hearty welcome in
behalf of the city. Rev. DR.. Beamer,
of Muskogee, was called upon to in
troduce the bishop In response the
bishop delivered a powerful address.
After the speaking free, old-fash-
toned dinner was served The cred

ton is due to Attorney L. j. Meriweth-
err. the man who induced the writer
to settle in this town. We are yoke
fellows in church and state. The
bishop made good impression and
won our hearts, and we won his. AT

sided. After the lecture, the guest OF

RUDYARD KIPLING.

Rudyard Kipling was educated at
the United Services colleges, as he
was intended for a military career,
but even at an early age literature
held more charms for him than war.
The effect of this early training, how :.

works. in which there is a glOrification
of the warlike spirit.
At the age of seventeen he assumed
an editorial position in India OH the

years. In the meantime, he publlshed

The Wedding Guest.

In the capacity Of a guest at we'd
ding there are certain things which
are expected of you,>
When you have dressed in suitable
attire plan your arrival at either home
or church so that at least five minutes
will elapse before the ceremony.
During church wedding never let
ill-bred curiosity rob you of dignity
and repose of manner Any ill-bred
whispering or foolish changing of
places to secure a better view very
quickly places a guest beyond the pale
of good manners.
After the ceremony no guest should
attempt to leave his place until every
one of the bridal party has passed
down the aisle The guests should
slowly pass out as from any church
! service.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
those who are invited to the reception
should proceed directly to the home OF
| the brode's parents.
! Women lay aside their wraps@and
should greet the bride and groom.
| Good wishes for her future happiness
!! should be extended to the bride; con-
gratulations should be offered to the
groom on his good fortune. 1t is the
latter who receives congratulations
not the bride A few clever, we'll
turned words are necessary: do not
monopolize the couple whose duty it
| is to receive many. others.
| To the true hostess of the occasion,
the mother of the bride word Of
greeting should be given. 1t is not
necessary for guests to remain any
length of time at the reception.
| Before departing cards should be left
/ one for your host and one for your
hostess.
The thought that each guest can
contribute to an enjoyable time and
relieve the bride of any thought of the
affairs of the day should always guide
the actions of wedding guests. There
is an excellent opportunity for display
| ing good breeding or the lack of il
at the wedding reception. Bear in mind

Poultry House and Wood Shed.


A neighbor of ours keeping small
flock of chickens has a unique ar
rangement in the form of a combina-
ton poultry house and wood shed. The
building is something like twenty
feet long by about eight feet wide. 1t is
made of dressed pine boards on a
foundation of natural stone laid in ce-
ment. In one end is, a room for wood
and kindling, and in the other end
place for the chickens. A loose board
partition separates the two rooms,
with a small opening in the wall near
the bottom large enough for the chick
ems to go from one room to the other.
This opening is fitted with a small
sliding door to be closed at nights so
that none of the fowls can rOost in
the wood room.
Such a combination house as this
for keeping fire wood and kindling dry
and in the shelter is a good building to
Dc lotdLCo COiilpci tlhCiS iiCdi lin
dwelling. The extra space in the WOOD
room with the loose partition, affords
plenty of air for the fowls without
having the doors and windows open on
cold nights. Nest boxes are in both
the poultry room and the wood room.
During the day the hens can find ex-
ercse in the wood room and the high
nest boxes are convenient both for
the hens and the poultryman. The wood
room serves both as a place for stor-
ing fuel and as a scratching shed for
the poultry, and with a little care II
piling the wood the hens will not
soil it and they will derive much ben
eft in scratching in the chips and the
sawdust
When the incubating season opens
and the laying hens can be out most
of the time the nests in the wood
room are used for setting hens with
all openings closed to exclude lay
ing stock and other intrucers.

EVEN..ING


Ii it is q question of doubling what
circumstances say or w1ar human
being says, why not give the human
being the benefit of the doubt?
For as far as my experience goes
circumstances are quite as apt to lie
as people-in fact rather more so.
Hasn't yours been the same?
Haven't you more often had cause
to regret that you suspected someone
when circumstances accused him, than
that you refused to believe in suspi-
cious circumstances?
And then isn't it much less painful
to find that you have suspected cir
cumstances unjustly than people?
An acquaintance will not say a
friend-of mine missed a ring at a
summer hotel. She had not worn the
ring since she had been there so could
not have lost it off. The room had
| been locked while she was out of ii
and only the chambermaid had access
to it. Oh, yes, the chambermaid
seemed like a very nice girl and in all
| her five years of service at that hotel
| had never had her honesty questioned
And of course she denied knowing
anything about the ring-WhO would
/ MT? But look at the circumstances.
There could not be any doubt about
| the matter.
The maid MUST have stolen it.

not brought the ring to the hotel al
all and that it was safe at home.
