HOLY ROLLERS
STILL ROLLING
AFTER MUCH PERSECUTION
THEY SEEK OTHER FIELDS
AND PASTURES GREEN.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 2S.-Af
ter much persecution, through ridicule
and expressed contempt, the famous
band of Holy Rollers, led by Rev.
Trim, has left East Chattanooga II
seek greener pastures.
Since their removal to Sherman
Heights from East Lake they have
prayed and rolled" increasingly for
the sinners of the big suburb. Now
that they are gone, the few converts
that have refused to go with the
pillars" of the unstable edifice are
holding meetings at their several
homes. Many East Chattanoogans
miss the queer sect, as their nightly
meetings afforded them an opportuni.
ty for attending an unusual ceremony.
The Holy Rollers have found East
Chattanooga as unwelcome as East
Lake, and Cleveland, where they were
recently arrested for disturbing the
public with their clamoring.
The chapel" formerly located on
the residence portion of Glass street
in Sherman Heights, was vacated by
them because the citizens objected to
them. After abandoning this building

He was provoked to the contention by

ers.
Thereupon with studied nonchal-
ance the American swallowed an i'm.
mense piece of chilli pappec. Then the
stranger added more red pepper;
then the American another large slice,
covered with cayenne, and so On till
it seemed as if both would explode,
while the other diners looked on
aghast-the American finally winning
out with a prodigiouo duas defying all

they erected large tent near Royce
depot, but even here the wind and
rain interfered with them by blowing
a large hole in the canvas.
The popularity of the Holy Rollers
and the hospitality of the citizens has
been on the wane recently and to this
is partly due their removal.
The objections made to the sect is
altogether due to noise at hours wher
others desire sleep. If they would
seek a location where their loud &C
claim would not be disturbing t
neighbors or if they would conclude
that the efficacy of their prayers wa
not enhanced by the loudness Thereof
they would not be unwelcome.

Retail MERCHANTS
Met LAST night
SOME VERY INTERESTING TOPICS
WERE DISCUSSED BY THE AS
SOClATlON.-MU INTER-
EST MANIFESTED.

An interesting meeting Of the Re
tail Merchants Association was held
| in the Odd Fellows hall last night.
Presidetn w. E. Laird, occupying the
chair. Several matters of Importance
were discussed and committees APP
pointed for their consideration.
Secretary ]. T. Williams was order
ed to correspond with the superintend-
ent of the Northeastern railroad and
with all cities on the road with regard
to the supply cars run by that COM
pany, in order that united efforts
might be made to have this service
discontinued, considering that is is det-
rimental to retail merchants business
on that road. A committee composed
of II. Moore, f. Katz, Ellis Hickman,
7. A. Hightower and NJ. J. Farley
was also appointed to confer with the
Commercial Club and enlist their CO.
operation in the matter.
Another important matter which has
been discussed of late is the lack of
hitching facilities for farmers who
drive into town. A committee COM
posed of Ellis Hickman, Mr. OFerrall,
and T. A. Hightower was appointed
to select and secure suitable places in
the city where country people can
hitch their horses and leave teams in
safety. In response to the communi-
cation Of Mr.. Hauenstein published
last week, the same committee was
directed to devise a plan whereby all
meTchanes make occasional visits
into the surrounding country and be-
come better acquainted with the farm
ers. Both of these are important
matters and should be of interest not
only to the retail merchants but to all
business men of the city, and the ac-
ton of the Retail Merchants should
be commended.
AS an advertisement of the associa-
ton and what it stands for J. w.
Howell, ]. Brown and J. e. Herman
were appointed as a committee to pro-
vide display cards for the use of all
members. The association is a live,
active body and is working hard for
he upbuilding of Hattiesburg.
