held at the Baptist Church by Rev-}
W. L. Walker, of Atlanta, will |
probably close Sunday night. The

without being benefitted. Mr. 1

Hcoond coming of Christ was a most 1
interesting one and new light |
to many upon thin nil important

Two of them short, one of them

His sermons are marvels, he sure is

He hails from Atlanta, his name is
