BIG DAY WITH METHODIsTs
VIII Occupy Sunday School Annex
on Fourth Sunday. Promi-
nent Visitors COMING


The fourth Sunday in this month.
oct. 24th, will be an interesting oc-
caslon with the Methodists of Daw-
son-ln fact, it is proposed to make
1t one of the biggest days in the his
tory of the church.
On that day the new Sunday
school annex will be occupied for the
nrst time, and the event will be
marked by interesting services of a
special character in which proMi-
nent ministers will take part.
In the morning, at the usual hour
OF Sunday school, the exercises will be
held IN the annex and special
programme appropriate to the oc-
caslon will be carried out. In the af-
ternoon Rev. B. Anthony, D. D., of
Americas, will deliver a dedicatory
address. DR.. ]. E. Dickey, of Emory
college, will also be present, and will
preach in the church in the morning
and at night.
The annex has been built at a COST
OF $40, 900, is modern in Arrangement
and other respects and a decided ad-
dition to the church. It's erection
was due largely to the efforts of the
pastor, Rev. o. B. Chester, and it is
the cause of much qualification on the
part of him and his host of friends
that it will be occupied before his
four years of service ends next
month, when, under the law of the
church, he will go to a new field of
labor.

Both of the old parties have be-
come so corrupt that ii is impossible
for a man who has the interests OF
his community at heart to support
either ticket as whole. If he excr-
cises his duties as a good citizen he
is compelled to select men from both
tickets, and in many cases refuse TO
vote for either. Therefore | claim
no man can pledge his suffrage to
either party and be loyal TO them
and the community at the same
time.
As a good illustration take the
recent visit of the congressman from
this district What did he come
for? For the very good reason that
all fair minded men are convinced
