TIL MONDAY.

Activity in the Americus cotton
market was in evidence Saturday, and
the fieecy tide continued to roll this
way. Receipts at the five warehouses
were good, considering the fact that
the greater portion of the cotton crop
has been marketed already, and farm
ers let 60 their bales at current prices,
around II IA IL 1-2 cents for the
split silk variety. A great deal of new
currency was thus circulated in bust
ness channels here.
The very important ginners' report
was not forthcoming, as had been ex.
pected
The governments condition and gin
ming reports which were to have been
issued, will not be given out until
Monday. The southern storm has de
layed collection Of complete ginning
figures and issuance of the condition
report was postponed because the law
provides that both must appear on
the same day.
The condition report will show the
condition of the cotton crop on Sep
tember 25, and will be issued Monday
noon. The ginning report, to be is
sued at 10 O'Clock, will show the to-
tai ginning prior to September 25.

TRIPLE TRAINS
ARE OPERATED
INTO AMER|CUS
THREE ENGINES ARE REQUIRED
TO PULL THEM.

The very unusual sight of three
monster locomotives attached to one
train is oftimes witnessed in Americus
now. where the Seaboard is engaged
with it's heaviest full freight traffic,
tt is not infrequent to see two big en-
gines pulling freight train heYe, but
three leviathans pulling at string
of loaded cars mile in length is in
deed unusual. These Seaboard
through freights are pulled by two To-
comotives from Montgomery to Omaha,
Ga. a distance of about ninety miles
over comparatively level track. At
Omaha there the hills and heavy
Grades, and a third engine is coupled
on there to bring the train into Ameri-
cps, fifty miles away. The Seaboard is
doing an enormous \ ,iness now,
hence the necessity for two and three
engines to haul it's freight trains.
Doubtless trains 1S and IA will be put
hack on this division very soon in
order to facilitate shipping, as they
are very greatly needed.

pigeons seem to accept her as their

ones she has never seen before will
come at her call.
These photographs were made at a

unusual power she has over her little
friends of the air.
The pigeon lady" is Miss Helen
Jones, age Is years, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. w. I. Jones, of 12S Lafay-
cite Drive, Ansley Park. The pigeons
are prize rollers" owned by Forest
Adair of Druid Hills.
Until last week, the pigeon lady
and Mr.. Adair's pets had never seen
each other. It is true that the "roll-
ers" had been tanned by kindness
and would fly near their master. But
they were timid of strangers. They
won't so Tear other visitors. But
when the little pigeon lady" called
to them they swooped down and
perched on her shoulders, on her hair,
and covered the ground at her feet. It
was as though she had beckoned ii
the white clouds, and a torn patch
with dots and dashes of color had
whirled softly down.

LARGE c R D " D
ATTEND MEETING
OF BIC REVIVAL
(By A Special Writer.)

(By A Special Writer.)
The great auditorium of the First
Methodist church was taxed 10 it's Ut
most Friday night to seat the splendid
congregation that attended the revival
services. In response to a most cor
dial invitation to attend Friday nights
service, the gentlemen who are en-
ployed in the various departments o.
railroad work came with their families
and long before the preacher began
the large number of seats that had
been deserved for them proved made.
quate and additional seats had to he
provided elsewhere. The scene was
most inspiring when these strong men
of the business world laid all work
aside and with their families thronged
the house Of God. Charlie Tillman sang
as special numbers for this occasion.
Life is Like a Mountain Railway and
Papais Late Train. Somehow the
singers soul seemed to pour itself out
In its sweetest music and ere the song
was over many strong hand quietly
brushed tear away.
Arthur Moore was never more Wig
orous in the delivery of sermon than
he was Friday night. He chose as his
theme for this service "The Judge
ment," and he seemed to be in the grip
OF a great conviction which was soon
communicated to the great audience.
Sins awful consimation to be REVEALED
in the white light of the Judgment. No
one shall escape. The gambler must
appear there whether his deeds of
shame were wrought out amid the
brawls of the back alley, or where the
light CLEANS from cut glass. Treachery
must stand there in all its pollution.
The broken VOWS will rise M at the
judgement to condemn and cry away

poured out his soul in words that
burned and warned. The sermon end
ed in tenderest appeal and quite

room, where heats were made glad
because of a new vision of Jesus
Christ.
Charlie Tillnan is not only singing
