Looking back six thousand years ago to the garden of Eden we behold a perfect man creat ed in the image of God from the hads of his creator. Later a help mate was made for Adam from a rib taken from his side then we see them in their hu man perfection in the paradise of God where ever tree that was pleasant to the sight an 1 good for food was growing, he was king, he had dominion ober every living thing thou had no sin. no aches, no pains no sick ness of any kind, no sorrow, sighing crying nor death, noth ing whatever to mar their hap piness and no doubt would have lived in this parodisical state forever if they had obeyed the command of God, but they dis obeyed and come under the sen tenee of death so the fallen race of Adam has been going down to the great prison house the tomb ever since despite all the efforts of the best medical and surgical skill. Thousands and thousands of people continue to go down to this great prison house of death daily during these six thousand years since man fell in sin and deaih. Many ;housands of millions have suc cumbed to this great reaper. All the sickness, sorrow, pain and death weexperience are re mits of this one mans ’ rijbed 'ence. Will these a, , ,‘smdi • •) octhod. t ;ions never cease ! , ,ev er come when dei e a . 0I ? a bolished. Will 111 '^'re move the curse, re’J^, aS! "' v ',‘ris oners from death a More everything Adam 1c Bi ole alone answers 1?P "jl^olom questions. Mr. Claude Nalley being by lature a member of this Aamic ace had to meet this groat mas er death a short time ago. All hat loving hands and kind phy ucians could do failed to re .ieve him. He was a noble char icter, loved and admired by all .•ho knew him, cheerful smile lis loving words and daily walk encouraged all who come in con act with him. He is missed jy his church, by the commun ty in which he lived, by all his acquaintances, but most by his relatives and family. The ques ion comes to us that was asked >y Job. Will he live again? Jes is Christ answers, all in their graves shall hear the voice of eh son of God and come forth Paul answers there is to be a resurrection of both the just and unjust and if be no resurrection of the ‘P so t4 then ill who have fallen ,)ecorr y 1 are perished, since by- J shoui me death by man also the e ££frec ion of the dead foX coverert, m all die, even so r me * wo *\all shall be made a * )e Christ left his heavl he *Yome came to this sin cursecl earth and died the most horrible ig nominous death in order to ransom Adam and his race from death in order that he night be able to release all the prisorners from the tomb. He purchased ever man back from Adamic death and has the right ;o restore all things for 1916 years Christ has been taking out people for his name to be his in heaven. All we could say would not bring back Claude nor will it make it any better. May the Lord bless his wife and little childlren, may they live sa as to meet him in heaven L. M. Gibson. In Loving Memory Of clear grand father. He was born September 6, 1852 and departed this life March 12, 1917. Grandpa was sick a short time but his pain was so great that God saw fit to take him from this painful world to a world on high where there is no pain, sorrows nor tears. Grandpa joined the Baptist church when he was young and libed a Christian life until his death. God had a crown tor him to wear and called him home to wear it. We do miss grad pa every vvehefe and every way. It sure does sem sad for | him to be gone never to come back again. He can’t come back to us but we can go to him so we all must try to live a chris tian life to meet grandpa when we are called from this world to a better world where we can sing God’s praises for ever and there will be no more parting. Written by his granddaugh ter, Annie Mae Pip-sell. In Loving Memory. Of grandmother, M A Stone, wife of G. M. Stone, who depart ed this life March 24, 1917 and was laid to rest at Sharon eeme tery March 25th, 1917, Rev. R. H. Thompson conducting the fu neral service. She was born Feb. 24th 1856 and was sixty years and one month old when the Lord saw fit to call her frmo this w-orld ot pain. Grandmother leaves a husband, four sons and four daughters and fifteen grand children and a host of relatives and friends to morn her loss. She was always ready to speak a kind w ? ord for all whom she met, but it was God’s will to take her from this world of sor row and we pray we can libe in this w'orld so we can meet her in heaven where all is peace and happiness and no farewell tears are shed. It is sad to think that we can’t see her sweet smilling face a gain nor hear her tender voice but sweet to think if we will live as w-e ought to we can meet her in heaven. Words cannot tell how sad our hearts are and how lonely it is to go back to grandfathers house and can’t see grandmother there and can see that vacant chair. She has paid the debt we all have to pay, the Lord has carried her to that heavenly home of rest not made with hands. Her sufferings are all over and we feel sure she is enjoy ing the sweetness of heaven and singing the sweet songs of Zion We loved her but angels lobed her more and has carried her home to rest. She was loved by all who knew her and always had a smile for all whom she met. A precious one from us is gone, a voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in the home that never can be filled peace ful in the grave so low thou art waiting for the dear one’s here, We will join her in the heaven ly land, no more to take the parting hand. Written by her heartbroken granddaughter Clarce Fowler. In Memory Of Preston Wills, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Wills. Pres ton was seventeen years old when he died, and he was a fine young man loved by every one that knew him, He had akind word and was kind to all he met. He w-ent to the city to try to be a useful man but the Lord saw tit to take him away. We don’t know but the Lord takes the yong as well as the old. Preston may have had a long life laid off and there may be others that have got the same but the Lord may call for them as he did Preston so we all ought to live so as to be ready when the call comes for us. Oh! how sad it made me feel to be at the funeral of Preston and so many yong boys looking so sad as they took the last look at Preston. I pray that they will all be ready when the Lord calls for them as he did for Pres ton in the bloom of life ,so let us all try to be ready when the Lord calls for us. Oh! how sad it is to think one have to go in the bloom of life like Preston. I felt sad and sorrow for the father and mother for I know how I felt when I had to give up the dear daughter of mine, so I pray God to wipe the tears an dsorrow from them. Written by a friend.

FORD univTrsaTCAß In the beginning was the Ford car and the Ford was right. Right in design and right in construc tion—a motor car to satisfactorily meet all the demands of the people for service and pleasure the car for the multitudes. With that keen far sightedness that reads the call of future years, Henry Ford foresaw that the motor car was the coming utility and designed and builded accord ingly; a motor car so simple in mechanical con struction that anybody and everybody could suc cessfully operate it; so strong in construction that it would traverse all sorts of road conditions so flexible that it would meet with satisfactory service the many and various demands of all lin es of human activity. To be in very fact the Uni versal car. Ford cars have been, are now, and wiii continue to be constructed of the highest quality of Vanadium steel—specifically Ford heat-treated—the Ford Chassis being beyond all question the highest quality motor car in the world. If proof is asked, the answer is made by more than 1,'50,000 satisfied Ford users thru out the wov’d. STRICKLAND & WISDOM, Agents Forsyth & Dawson Counties. How To Use The TELEPHONE Did it ever occur to you that you might not be using the telephone in the right way? Do you speak sideways, above, be low, or six inches away from the trans mitter of your telephone? You should talk directly into the transmitter—not simply at it. Keep your lips about one inch from the mouthpiece. Speak in an even tone. It is not neces* - sary to shout. There is much that can be said about the proper way to telephone, but these little rules will help. IVhen you Telephone Smile SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE # AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY J. E. PUETT, MANAGER.
