DR.. Lamar at First Baptist Church

Rev. A. w. Lamar, Of Nashville,
filled the pulpit Of the First Baptist
church Sunday much to the delight
Of those who heard him speak. In
the morning, the audience filled all
the house; the bad weather of the
evening reduced the crowd somewhat.
The morning sermon was based upon
JnO. 6:9-"There is a lad here, who
hath five barley loaves and two fishes
but what are these among 30 many?"
The stories out Of the preachers own
life, which he used in illustrating his
sermon were full of pathos and NOV
ing tenderness.
The evening sermon was preached
from Acts 15:14-"Whose heart the
Lord opened" This sermon was by
no means inferior to that Of the
morning. Multitudes focked about
the preacher to shake his hand and
to rejoice over the fact that he is
coming here in April to hold a meet
ing in the First Baptist church.
DR.. Lamar left for Atlanta this
morning, to inspect a beautiful home
just purchased and presented to him
by his son, at College Park, one Of At
lanta's choicest suburbs.
After the morning service, at a con-
ference Of the church members, the
treasurer Of the First Baptist church
presented his report for last year
showing that the total contributions
of the church, during 1909, amounted
to more than five thousand, five hun
dred dollars. The church is free of
all debt, has large congl cations and
Is full of hope for it's future work.
Delegates representing the eastern
division of Woman's Mission Societies
of the State-about hundred in

ARRESTED FOR SELLING WHIS
KEY.
George u. McKagen Charged With
Running Blind Tiger.

The knowing ones were expecting
something to drop all day Thursday.
1t leaked out in the morning that a
warrant had been issued for blind
tiger, but it was not till late in the
afternoon that the arrest was made.
AT Sis o'clock George P. McKagen
was arrested and carried before Mag
istrate Hardy, who granted him bond
in the sum Of 100000 for his appear
ance at the next term If the criminal
court.
His bondsman is H. T. Edens.
The arrest was made upon infor-
nation and belief. The warrant was
issued upon the request Of deputy
sheriff Skies, a son-in-law of Sheriff
Epperson, upon the testimony Of
young Herbert Epperson, a grandson
Of the sheriff. Young Epperson states
that he was with his father on Sat-
urday before Christmas, that they
went to the home of McKagen on Du-
gan streetxsback of the Dixie Cafe,
and that his father paid McKa gen
seventy-f1ve cents for a pint of white

This case has attracted a great deal
IT interest from the fact that Nc
Hagen has brother on the police
force and from the source from which
the information comes-so closely
connected with the sheriff's office.
start has been made and the
work should be pushed till the last
blind tiger is put out of business.
The lax administration Of the pro-
hibition law in this county has be-
come a stencil in the nostrils of the
law-abiding people and a reflection
Unon our officials. The officers
should be encouraged to diligence.

himself IN midair. with his body as
motionless as II perched on a twig
In this way he can sip the nectar of

without alighting for moment He
never alights while SO engaged. he
moves from flower to flower with a
graceful and rapid movement, some
times chasing away bee or hum
