gestei that should the mains be eX-
tended on that street Il would prove
an incentive for residents to use gas
instead Of coal oil.
AiessrS Brill and Fitzgerald, of
the light committee. said some of
the persons whose names were on
the petition did not reside on the
squares they wanted the city TO
place the mains; besides only one or
two parties had signified their wishes
to use gas. 1t was stated that the
superintendent of gas had made a
close investigation of conditions.
Mr.. Ballcnger insisted that the
city should extend the mains. as he
was sure satisfactory results would
follow.
A vote was finally taken when six
members voted to concur in the ac-
tion of the lower board. Mr.. Bal
lenger voted no.

Many Leave Train To
Shake Tramp's Hand

Jesup, Nov. 18.-Scores of pas
sengers left the coaches of a
Southern Railway train 16 miles
north of here today to wiring the
hand of a tramp who saved many
lives in a melodramatic manner.
The train, carrying four crowd
ed sleepers and several day
coaches, was rushing towards a
broken rail at a speed of fifty
miles an hour when the tramp
appeared in front of the loco
motive wildly waving his arms.
When the engineman stopped
the train it was within a few
feet of a rail misplaced by the
Palm Limited, which had passed
81 short time before.

The home and Foreign Mission
airy Societies of the Central
Methodist church will observe
three days of the week of prayer,
next week, November the 25th,
9th and 10Th.
While Thanksgiving Day will
be omitted on the program, each
of the other days will be days of
Thanksgiving and free will offer
ings to the schools that have
been selected for these special
services. The needs are urgent
and the privilege of helping is
ours.
Let each member of these
societies examine herself and see
how much she owes for the many
blessings that have come into
her life since our last week of
prayer, a year ago. Remember
that, every good and perfect gift
-
cometh from the Father of light"
and, "Silver is mine, and gold is
mine. saith the Lord of Hosts,
This is a Thank offering and
we want to stress that it is for
each member of these Societies,
and not for a few. Some of you
have read of the church that
gave about $500 for Missions;
that church was known far and
wide as a very generous church.
The pastor was in the secret and
he writes that he had 'long
borne the humiliation Of know
ing that the church was not
generous, but almost the whole
amount was given by one man.;
when he could bear it no longer,
he gave each member the oppor-
tunity to pay a little, then it was
that he rejoiced in his generous
church.
So let us come up as individual
members, and our Societies will
have the blessing of being gener-
Gus. Do not leave this to one
or even a few.
We urge each member to be
present. The feast of good
things will be offered each day.
The program in full will be in
the next issue of this paper,
through the kindness and cour-
tesy of the editor.

regarding proper seats behind
