Everybody has heard of Nilsson, Patti, and other great singers like Brig noli and De Resxke. Fame deals gra' eiously with such dramatic readers and speakers as Edwin Booth, John R. Gongh ana Francis Willard but never have we heard of any man or woman composing their own music, singing in two voices, soprano and baritone, and reeiting aromatic selections in all sorts of effects in both voices, until now. Euos Bacon, the Yorkshire Nightin- gate us he was called by Rev, Hugh Price Hughes, is q musical and dra' matte wonder. He was the musical feature al the great C. k. convention at Atlantic City being invited from Eng land by Dr. r. l.. Clark. He Is high ly commended hy Rev. Floyd Tomp- kins, Baleom show, Booker Washing ton, Tai Esen Morgan of Ocean Grove and many others. He will give Re eital and Concert on Friday evening in our church. The program includes such vsned selections as The Nightin- gale Trill and David Garriek, Tickets 9 cents, children To cents.
 We will secure a great blessing from our study of the "life of Christi in the Bible school, If through that study the Christ becomes to as living per. sonality. As help to this familiarity with the history, manners and GUS toms of the times in which He lived Is almost necessity. Such books as Edersheim's "Life and Times of Jesus, the Messiah and Gerkie's "Life and Words of Christ" and Hastings "Dic- tionsry of Christ and the Gospels are good books for this purpose. For a brief character study "Stalker's "l4ife ot Christ will also be found helpful. All of these may be found in the Spald- ing library.

Some one has well said that the great need of rural communities all over the land is more homes and fewer farms. and he might have added that the greatest need of the myriad towns and cities of the country is also more homes and fewer houses-just places to feed and roost.

ITALIAN BOY
BROWNS WHEN
BOAT CAPS|zES
WITH A sHiPMATE HE WAS CAR
RYINe SEVERAL SACKS OF COAL
FROM TARRAGoNA TO MUSCo-
GEE WHARF, WHEN THE BOAT
WAS SWAMPED.

Guilo Vigneto. Of the Italian bark
Giuseppe, lost his life in Pensacola bay
yesterday morning about 1880 o'clock,
when a rowboat in which he and an
other from the bark were going from
Tarragona to Muscogee wharf, was
swamped by the heavy seas running in
the bay. The other boy was rescued
by a boat which was put out from the
italian bark Sophocles.
Vigneto, who was eighteen years of
age, was sent by the master with his
shipmate to Tarragona wharf to take
on several sacks of coal and deliver
them to the Giuseppe, which is moored
at Muscogee wharf taking lumber.
The trip to Tarragona wharf was
made without incident and the coal Sc
cured.
The wind gained considerably in
velocity after the boat had started on
the return trip and when the boys
reached a point about midway be
tween the two wharves several big
waves broke over the craft and they
became alarmed. They attempted to
throw some of the sacks of coal over
the side of the boat and by this means
they capsized the boat.
The boys did not attempt to cling TO
the upturned boat, but started to swim
ashore and had gone about half
mile when Vigneto's strength gave out
and he sank, despite the efforts of his
companion who, though tired out him
self, made an attempt TO save his
sinking shipmate, but missed and
caught only the boys cap. The men
aboard the Sopochies saw the accident
and quickly manned a boat and started
10 rescue the boys, but Vigneto sank
beneath the water just before their
arrival
The boy who was rescued said that
a launch passed within fifty yards Of
he and his companion and when they
called for help the man running the
