Walden, the Great Magician and Illusionist, Coming Soon. The engagement of Mr. Walden, the great magician, on the regular lyceum course on Tuesday, .March 23rd, promises a change from the regular routine. He proposes to rest our emotional senses and arouse the faculty for fathoming the mysteries. He also promises to please and fascinate the eye with beautiful creations ( in magic. Mr. Walden has his own stage manager, who sees to the proper placing of the paraphernalia and all the accessories used. Read what the Atlanta Georgian , has to say about Walden: "The star attraction in an entertainment for the children at the Chautauqua Wednesday was Loren- ] zo Walden, the magician. It is the ; consensus of opinion that many of 1 his tricks of the mystic art have never been surpassed. His enter- ] tainment was clever and artistic in j the highest degree. A notable fea- i ture of his entertainment is tne un- . affected ease with which he performs < his mysterious feats. As a magician 1 he is a revelation to Atlanta people, j His performance was continuous 1 mirth and mystery from start to fin- 1 ish." 1 1 Loyal Temperance Legion.

Quite a goodly number of the little folks were present. The pastor made a talk to the B. Y. P. U. last Tuesday evening, on individuality, or religion a personal matter between each soul and the Lord. This being one of the great denominational principles out of which our denominational attitudes and practices grow, naturally and :onsistently, as the branchesv of a tree grown out of its trunk. He used the blackboard to illustrate this. Misses Kate Rentz and Erma Black sang a beautiful duet. The pastor preached Sunday morning on Christian Stewardship. All we are and have is God's, entrusted to us, and for which he will hold us accountable, shown in parable of the talents in Matthew 25th chapter, also in parable of the wicked husbandmen in 21st chapter of Matthew. 3o that God's claims on us and our means or other endowments are just dues, not optional gifts. At night his chalk talk on right and wrong directions from the cross showed that some stumble at the ^ross, and many stumble from it. The jnly right direction from the cross is the way of the cross, emphasized by Christ in his law of discipleship in Luke, 9th chapter and 23rd verse. The Sunday-school is still booming. There were 136 in attendance last Sunday. This is more than the mrollment. Rev. Arch C. Cree, D. D., representing our foreign mission board, will give a free stereopticon lecture )n Touring the Orient, at the Baptist ;hurch next Tuesday night. It will loubtless be very instructing and inspiring. Don't miss it. Ladies' Missionary Society meets n regular meeting, remember, next iVednesday afternoon, 17th instant.

Fruit trees and fruit plants need a liberal supply of , Virginia-Carolina ' Fertilizers | The trees absorb plant foods?that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash?from the soil just the same as any other crop. Experience has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so well recognized thatu return to the land what the tree removes if you would expect the best results " has become an axiom with the best growers. Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soon respond to careful fertilization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers. * I made a test with other companies' fertilizers," says Mr. H. O. . Lowry, of Manatee County, Fla., "and yours proved to be the best The yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as much as where the other two companies' fertilizer was used." *T 1 V??rrini-J-firnKni C?rtiltTm ?I* fllMflMt nuuurcus ui ibws o?; ? ..b.u. . ? r because of their good qualities?give better satisfaction and (Quicker results.
