Harmon Accepts Call to Churches in Georgia. About three weeks ago the Rev. J. B. Harmon, pastor of the Mayer Memo ' - ~ ' ~ i T rial and summer ivrcmuriai buiuciau churches of this place, notified the councilmen of t&ese congregations that he had under consideration a call to become pastor of the Lutheran churches in Senoia and Haralson, Ga. This information was received with regret and all were anxious to know what would be the decision in the matter. At a meeting of the joint couiicil of this pastorate last Sunday a week, Pastor Harmon announced nis decision. He said that while he had enjoyed the work among these brethren, and had, with the help of the Lord, made progress, he believed, in thieve congregations in different ways, and saw other things that he would like to do, yet he believed it was his duty to accept the call to the churches in Senoia and Haralson, Ga., owing; ~ /ml. A.. I to their present condition. i ney have been without a pastor for over two years except some work done by Rev. A. J. Bowers, D. D., each summer). The council were unanimous in expressing their reluctance in accepting thi6 resignation, but bowing to the will of Him who doech all things well, they accepted it to take effect the last of October Pastor Harmon is an earnest and forcible speaker, a good singer and a conscientious worker, since ne uas; taken charge of this work, it has gone j forward in many respects. The at- j tendance and membership have increased, the singing improved, the congregations instructed in the catechism, and the Duplex enevlope system of finance has been introduced and is working in both congregations.

HAT 31 AY BE THKOVTN INTO SOUTH CAROLINA Col. Roosevelt Queries as to Possibility of Bull Moose Invasion of State. Aiken, Sept. 21.?That Col. Roosevelt, presidential candidate of the Bull Moose party, is anxious to gain a foothold in South Carolina is made plain \v a trlegram received this morning from Col. Roosevelt by B. Sherwood Dunn, a capital'st of Aiken, and Augusta. The colonel wired Mr. Dunn, who is a close personal acquaintance of the former president, to ask if the 'e exists any statute of limitation in this State regulating the placing of n c'cstorni ticket in the field. Mr. :>unn sought legal advice on the matter, and ascertaining that the Bull Moose party may place its ticket in the field any time before the general election in November, he wired this information in answer to Col. R00Se velt's inquiry. The telegram received today from Col. Roosevelt is not the first that* has passed between Mr. Dunn and the Bull Moose nominee on the subject, and while it is speculative as to what may or may not be done, the situation presents an interesting aspect to the citizenry of South Carolina. 821 ACRES FOR HOBO COIOSY. Half Million Dollar Institution ti He Located in Dutchess County Scientific American. Governor Dix announced that 821 acres of land in Dutchess county, twenty miles south of Poughkeepsie, had been selected for the State farm colony for the rejuvenation of tramps and would be bought for $60,000. The Legislature last year made a preliminary appropriation of $100,000 to establish the new institution, which will cost $500,000. The site chosen is not far from the abandoned Wingdale State prison site. The Governor says that he planned to use the "Wingdale prison site for a tramp colony but the site commission found that the locality was conducive to malaria, besides being poor for farming purposes. Practically all of the 821 acres selected is tillable. Here the tramps who are sent from the cities and! towns will be employed in farming in the same way as the large number of prisoners of the Great Meadow prison at Comstock are kept at work. One effect of the establishment of the tramp colony will be the lessening of the numbers of vagrants locked up in local jailat, as the tramps ?an be kept at the colony for an eighteen months period. nnnnnn tfrr FOR CHICAGO..
