"Excusess was the general theme of the sermon Thursday night at the Third Presbyterian church. Thomas c. Bryan son of the pastor Rev. J. A. Bryan who is assisting his father in a series of evangelistic services this week preached to large and attentive audience. Easing his ser mon on the Parable of the. Great Supper the speaker took for his text Luke 14:1S, And they all with one consent began to make excuse" point ing out excuses that are often heard when men and women are asked to unite with some church. MT. Bryan brought out four of the most com mon excuses and by argument and frequent Scripture quotations it- tempted to show the folly of trying to conjure up some excuse when the Lord of the supper of the Lamb says, Come. for all things are now ready

NEW DEPOT SOUGHT
 BY WILLIAM CITIZENS
Extension Of Gas Service Also Re-
 uueSted Of Utility Company

A new freight depot and perhaps gas are two facilities wanted by the Vivian business men, and at the meeting of the association held Wednesday two committees were ap- pointed to see if the betterments could be secured.
 It was announced that MT. Bry- ant and Mir. Lee, representing the Birming gham Southern railroad, the only line entering Wylam, had ap- peared before the merchants and re- quested them to figure out how much freight they received or shipped dur ing the year and if the tonnage justi- fled the expense the company would be willing to build a suitable depot and appoint an agent for the city. This will be done at once by the busi- ness men, as the establishment Of a depot and the appointment of an agent is declared a necessary propo- sition.
 The Business Mems association also appointed a committee to call on J. $. Pevear. president of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company to see if better cars. cleaner cars and more frequent cars could not be arranged for this city. This committee is composed of w. J.. Stacey, H. A. Riviere. G. w. Love, Arthur Thomas and A. H. Sawyer.
 The appointment of committee to see if gas connections could be pro- vided for Vivian was also taken up and this committee will call on Fred Underwood, assistant to the general manager of the company, in an ef- fort to obtain that utility for Wy lam. The committee is composed of John E. NolGn, Dr. w. $. Rountree and Dr. Riviere.

 pacity of 26,000,000 pounds. It will products and at times coal An idea of it's proportions can be had from the fact that the boat will take up all the room in a river lock save two and one-half feet at either end and the same a either side. The locks are 2S5 feet long and 50 feet wide.
 Of nine new barges authorized some time ago the great vessel will be the last. The eight preceding boats are. only half her carrying ca paeity. All, of course, are made of steel.
 As the majority of ocean, going vessels making the port of Mobile are of less than 10000 tons burden, the great barge will be able to carry frC m the Birmingham district to salt water enough freight for two ordi- nary tramp steamers each trip,

 Several homes and store buildings have been started in the past few weeks. H. F. Lipscomb is building bungalow at Dartmouth avenue and Sixteenth street; Dr. H. B, Banner is constructing cottage on Dartmouth avenue between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets; John Neil is building a residence at Berkeley ave- nue between Fifteenth and Six teenth streets; pr.
