The Bible teaches kindness, for giveness, love and charity, but the greatest of these is the latter, and that noble sentiment is im planted in every man’s heart. There is no mpnoply on charity, either. ’■I The rich and the poor alike can indulge, and it is doubtful if there is a more genuine pleasure than that derived from having rendered a hel p ful se rvice- to the man who is down. There are many in Griffin who will perhaps require the touch of charitable hands — to whom a good dinner on Thanksgiving day will come as a blessing. It isn't the mere money that makes of charity the blessing that it is. It’s the spirit back of it. The poor man’s quarter will do almost as much good as the rich man’s banknote. The hospitality of Griffin is one of its greatest practical assets as a progressive community. :7v It bubbles over with light heartedness, inspires confi dence and hope and imparts to the recipient that indescribable satisfaction which makes him feel like “living again. It will increase energy, multi ply productiveness of hand and brain, inspire renewed vigor, con fidence and loyalty to future in terests and associations. The characteristics of good na tured and charitable man with the “glad hand,” exercised with in their own legitimate spheres, are in reality the things that make life worth living, and do more than anything else to pro mote the “brotherhood of man. M BIG CHRISTMAS TRADE ANTICIPATED. Merchants and retailers are preparing this year for the larg est Christmas in their history. The famous “silk shirt” Christ mas of 1919, when the country went into an unparalleled era of buying at extravagant prices will be bettered, according to forecasts, but the character of the 1924 Christmas will be vast ly different. In 1919 the rush for silk shirts carried the silk business into a billion dollar year, making the first time that any country had taken leadership in silk purchases from the Chinese. This year, even at lower levels, business men look for a total vol ume of sales that will exceed the 1919 record, largely from flannels, woolen goods, broad cloths, pongees, etc., instead of silk. ORIGIN OF THE EDITOR. A little boy was requested to write an essay the other day and “The Newspaper” was the sub ject. Here it the result: “I don’t know how newspapers came to be in the world. I don’t think God does either. He ain’t got nothing to say about them, and the editor ain’t in the Bible. "I think the editor is one of the missing links you hear about, and stayed in the brush until after the flood, then stepped out and wrote it up, and has been here ever since. l I don’t think he f evgT> dies. I never saw a dead one, and never heard of one getting licked. "Our paper is a mighty poor ’un. "The editor goes without under clothes all winter, don’t wear no sox, and paw ain’t paid his sub scription in five years and don’t expect to. ft THE BOOTLEGGER PAYS A widow in Syracuse, N. Y., is awarded a verdict of $1,500 against a cafe keeper who is ac cused of selling her husband liquor. After drinking the liquor the husband went out and killed him self, which is no uncommon re sult of imbibing current alcoholic beverages. This is said to be the third verdict of the kind returned in Syracuse .in the last two years, under a state law which makes liquor salesmen responsible for the acts of purchasers. It may be an unwarranted in vasion of the sacred rights of bootleggers; but if such a law were generally adopted and en forced, it would add mightily to the efficacy of prohibition.

One day he said: “Now we start with this formula." He took up the pointer and advanced to the blackboard, only to be interrupted by a shout of laughter from the class. In his absence of mind he had first chalked the end of the stick, just as if it had been a billiard cue. HCVV3 AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN. Great Britain’s new secretary of state in charge of Britain’s foreign affairs, Austen Chamber lain, seems pre-eminently fitted for the post. He is ode of the empire’s leading diplomats, and he comes rightfully by his abil ity. He was “raised” in,, the atmosphere of state councils. Chamberlain’s father, Joseph, successful manufacturer of Bir mingham, was recognized as a master mind in the development of domestic and colonial policies of the empire by the time young Austen finished his schooling. Master Mind. Joseph Chamberlain was then, in 1884, as president of the board of trade that is to say, minister of commerce in American sense— one of the dominant figures of the Gladstone cabinet and was recognized abroad as the coming man in England. Welcomed. His son was therefore welcomed with particular cordiality by the leading public men of France, % in Germany, in Italy and in the Dual Empire. Having made a careful study of their languages, his in tercourse with them presented no obstacles, and in a number of instances, notably in the case of the first Prince Bismarck, he was admitted to an extraordinary degree of intimacy. Immediately prior to the world war Chamberlain was chairman of the royal commission on In dian finance and currency and from 1915 to 1917 he was sec * retary of state for India from which office he resigned to be come a member of the war cab inet. ranch just after fall crops have been harvested and leaves just before it’s time to haul fodder to the cattle.—Louisville Times.

He did not limit transmission through the ether to photographs alone, but intimated that it would soon be possible to flash pictures of printed matter across the At lantic at the speed of sunlight. General Harbord said: “Radio sets now are bought ready made, just as one buys an automobile, a camera or a bicycle. One rea son for this is the fact that radio is now universal in its appeal. Outwardly, at least, the modern radio receiver is no longer a com plicated device requiring the ex perience of an expert to operate. It is instead an instrument with controls so simple that the veriest novice can operate it at first sight. Radio’s Real Mission. << I Wish to emphasize the real mission of radio. We who are engaged .in its development do not regard it as a medium or an agency designed to supplant existing methods of communica tion, or to do something which is now already being done quite effectively and economically by the land telephone. On the con trary, we are developing radio in the direction of service to be rendered, voices to be heard, in ways not now possible by existing means—in short, to make the lot of mankind easier and more am ple.” l 1 ffiMlCIOE .CATTS Chicago, .Nov. 22.-*-The election of “Ma” Ferguson as governor of Texas was far from being a vic tory for woman suffrage, but rather “a horrible example,” Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the suf frage leader, said in an address REPUDIATES 1HE RUSSIAN TREATY London, Nov. 22.—Great Britain, through the medium of the new conservative regime, has repudi ated the Anglo-Russian treaties negotiated by the late socialist government of Premier Ramsay MacDonald, Austen Chamberlain, foreign minister of the Baldwin govern ment, has dispatched a note to Moscow, advising the soviet,union that the document has been re viewed and rejected. Simultaneousry Chamberlain sent a second note to tne Russian gov ernment, affirming the authenticity of the “Zinoviev letter,” and re fusing to accept the Russian ex planation that the letter was a forgery and sent without the knowledge or consent of the soviet union. Rejects Proposed Treaty. “I have the honor t?> inform you,” Chamberlain wrote to Chris tian’ Rakovsky, soviet union repre sentative in London, “that, after due consideration, His Majesty’s government find themselves unable to recommend the treaties to the consideration of .parliament, or to submit them to,, the king for his signature.” Continuing, the foreign secre tary state'd: “I must further observe that you would entirely misapprehend the character of representations mftfi Ft 8 , "yaU by my predeceYsor Tf you supposed they dealt with Zinoviev’s letter only. “Activities of which His Majesty’s government complain are not confined to that particular letter, but on the contrary extend to the whole body of revolutionary propaganda, of which the letter is a fair specimen, and which i^ sometimes conducted in secret and sometimes, as you rightly remark ed, not concealed.

I shall stand with God.” Invited Out. “So Pa has invited Ma out of the house where God put her, ft said Mrs. Catt.
