CAKE SALES
HAVE proven
Big SUCCESS
DEMAND HAS Been EXCELLENT
Other DGIiCaCiGS to Be ADD
ed to the List

Most gratifying to those who have 1t
in charge, as we'll as to all the friends
and patrons of the hospital, is the
great success with which the weekly
cake sale and the woman's exchange
connected with it are meeting now.
Mrs. C. o. Niles has had supervision
of this feature of the work that is be-
ing done by the Hospital Association
&c raise sufficient funds to construct
The new building In this particular
Mrs. Niles has rendered excellent ser
vice to the cause, having conducted
these sales with splendid success for
several weeks.
So successful has the work been, in
fact, that oftener than otherwise the
stock of cakes which she is to sell has
been engaged before she can bring
them down to offer them to the public
This is an evidence of the great sue
cess with which the movement il:
meeting, and it has led to the extension
of the work, so as to meet the strong
demand for the articles offered
the sales each Saturday.
Next Saturday, in addition to cakes,
there will be sandwiches, cheese
straws and lemon custards added to
the list of good things offered These
will be prepared with special care by
some of the best cooks in and around
Americas, so that they will be es-
pecially toothsome and inviting.
At the woman's exchange conducted
in connection with the cake sales, dis
| position can be made of fancy articles
and useful handiwork of many kinds
and the ladies are invited to contribute
to this stock, which is sold on the
commission plan. A large supply OF
baby taps, together with jabots, aprons
for housekeepers and other useful ar
tiCles are on sale now.

ADVERTISING A CITY ARTS
TICALLY.

One of the most superbIy illustrate
pamphlets that has ever been issued
by southern commercial body is now
being distributed by the Savannah
Chamber of Commerce. The pamphlet
is a magnificent evidence of what the
modern printer can do when no ex-
pense is spared in the preparation of
engravings or in the execution of tae
work thereof The day has passed
when poorly prepared and poorly
printed advertising matter can be Of
| oe" eft to CITY or a corporation or an
individual. The age demands excel
ence in advertising just as it demands
excellence in other lines. Recognizing
this, Sect. Joseph F. Clay, of the Sa-
.uah organization, has prepared
and published a brochure that is be-
yond criticism, both geographically
and in its letter press The story Of
Savannah's development along various
lines is told succinctly, forcefully, and
attractively. The illustrations carry
conviction with them. All in all, this
latest evidence of the progressive spir,
it of Georgia's chief port is one that
any of its citizens can we'll take pride
in. The showing that is made is one
that should make the Savannah pulse
quicken, bring flush of pride to the
cheek of its citizens, and infuse new
vigor to the work that is being prose-
cuted for it's future upbuilding.
A live commercial organization is
of vast benefit to city, even though at
times the direct results of its work
cannot be traced. A body of business
men that devotes intelligent attention
to publicity alone, that spreads broad
cast news as to what city offers, to
the opportunities it presents, and that
never ceases to sing the song of what
it has done, is a most valuable asset.
That Savannah has one in its Chamber
of Comerce this latet evidence of what
it is doing is ample proof. If Savan-
nah had INDUCED in this sort of thing
twenty years ago, kept it up persist
emily and without wearying, it to-day
would have 100000 or more population
Publicity is just as necessary for 4
city as for a business house, and the
fact that Georgia cities are all awaken
ing to this important fact in itself tells
of the spread of the new spirit that
means so much for the development OF
the entire state in the next few years.

PLAYERS MAY
MAKE A TRIP
TO CORDELE
TO GIVE THE AMATEUR PLAY
Which Was resented Here
Recently

1t has been suggested that the
company of local players who pre-
scnted the amateur play here recently
for the benefit of the hospital with
marked success make. trip to Cordele
to give the play there, if benefit per-
Ormance in that city can be arranged
or if a guarantee sufficient can be
made up.
The members of the company are
practically a unit in wishing to take
the trip, and they are anxious, #
the trip acn be arranged, to make it at
very early date. With this in view
letter has been written to Cordele to
ascertain if a benefit performance can
be given there with satisfactory re
suits, either for the benefit of the Car
negie Library or for other purposes
The reply to this letter will be await
ed with interest, as the members of the
company wish to repeat the play soon.
f they attempt it at all.
If the arrangements can be made, it
has been planned to make the trip on
the AFTERNOON train and return that
night about midnight, in that manner
cutting down all unnecessary ex-
penses AS the members of the COM
pany who number altogether about
80, are anxious to make the trip, it is
/ likely that it may be successfully car
ried through within the next week OF
two.

ARRESTED WRONG COUPLE
WHILE ELOPERS ESCAPED
Atlanta Cops Got Wrong Pair And
Wouldn't BE Convinced.

Atlanta, March 2.-The Atlanta po-
lice furnished some great comedy a,
the Terminal station last night by ar
resting the wrong couple in runa-
way marriage, and letting the rea'
clippers escape.
Parties from GAINESVILLE and Griffij
were involved in the amusing compli'
cation. The Griffin folks were the rea
clippers, a young Mr.. and Mrs. eagle
who are now safely away on thei'
honeymoon. The irate father of thu
bride had telegraphed the Atlanta po-
lice from Griffin, instructing them t
arrest the couple. He described the
room as a handsome young man in
own suit, and the young woman a.
rgsed in a blue travelling suit,
is at this point that the Barnes
folks enter the story. A party
: tNem came up to Atlanta last night
F.. 20 ,oncert, In the party was Powell
Cotter, a we'll known young bushes:
man of GAINESVILLE, who happened t.
be handsome, and who happened t.
be wearing a brown suit. In the same
party, which counted some half dozen
in all, was well known and pretty
Young GAINESVILLE matron. She hap
}ened to be wearing a blue travelling
suit 1t happened that when the party
got to Atlanta young Cotter stepped
off first and the first lady whom he as
sisted to alght was the young matrOn
in the blue dress. While he still
had her courteously by the elbow as
she was alighting from the train step
the heavy arm of the law descended
on them both. In the meantime the
real bride and groom, not knowing
they were even wanted, strolled leis-
urely out of a coach ahead, and wen
on out of the depot.
The two young people from Barnes
vile first laughed and then argued
but it was no go. There is nothing on
earth or in heaven more stubborn than
an honest policemen who thinks he is
doing his duty, and happens to have it
all wrong.
1t required a half hour of palaverir ;
and the testimony of the who'll
GAINESVILLE party. two or three times
reiterated, to prevent the police from
locking the two young folks up for
the night They did, however, finally
persuade the officers, and went on to
the concert.

Gus to US? Does not tie difference
lie in this-that those Pilgrims came
with the Bible in their hands and the
fear of God in their hearts, while a
large number of the emigrants of to-
day come with neither of these bless
ings? Say what we will against the
blue laws of Puritanism they are to
be much preferred to the wide open
continental Sabbath and the anarchi-
al spirit that too often characterize
the emigration of today.
Some figures will be interesting and
instructive in this connection. In
England, a Bible land, there was
murder to every 1885, inhabitants;
in Holland, a Bible land, 1 to every
100000; in Austria, a land which is
half and half Bible. 1 to every 1000;
in Spain, land of no Bible, to ev-
cry ALA; in Naples, a land of no
Bible, to every 1850; and in Rome,
the city of no Bible, to every $50.
Further, in speaking of the in
f1uence of the Bible in the realm of
morals, it is claimed that in London,
"a Bible city, births out of every 100
were illegitimate; in Paris, where the
Bible is seldom read, 48 out of every
100; in Vienna, where there is prac-
tically no Bible, for every 100 legiti-
mate births, 10 were Legitimate; and
in Rome, where the Bible is practical
ly forbidden book, for every 100 legi-
innate births there were 243 illegiti-
mate
Yet in spite of these facts some
men today are trying to get rid of
the Bible. Should We not count that
man a traitor to his God and to his
country who would destroy the Bible

will clear and that the demands for
the increase asked will be met,
Nearly five thousand men are idle
as result of the strike order.

strike would not be called in the Ely
district unless state troops are called

full settlement.
