The jail is empty. Tornadoes are sweeping the west. Hope they will stop before they reach this section. A Sheriff sale advertisement is a thing you sel dom ever see in the papers in this county.

Did you know that Forsyth county had fur nished the state with some of the best ministers of the age? It's a fact. The Lithonia Journal has been added to our exchange list. This paper is some “punking” it self. They tell awful tales on Henry Ford. They are now telling that he has two daughters at /renau College in Gainesville. Already the fire insurance companies are pay ing the policies of those carrying insurance in the big Atlanta fire. The heavy increase in postage rates on news papers will cause them to have to raise their price or quit business. The House and Senate have agreed on a three billion dollar war budget. This is lot’s of money, if you ever thought about it. It is now thought that the government will tJ'WF'cach soldier four thousand dollar life insur ance policy instead of a pension. The U. S.

Twenty years ago the Camming post office handled about two thousand pieces of mail a month. Now it handles more than that number every day. Cotton ;it twenty two cents a pound is about the cheaapest product on the market when you figure the high price the farmer has to pay for articles he has to buy.

This will, no doubt, cause a great many of them to have “that sick feeling.” One hundred and eleven diplomas were given to graduates of the State Normal School at Ath ens last Wednesday night. This is the largest number of diplomas granted by that school in pne term. A FEW LINES FROM JOHNNIE SPENCER. MACON TELEGRAPH.

The lass who used to fret because she had noth ing to wear appears to be proud of it now. Miss Myrtilla says she’s going to lay in one of those SSO bonds as soon a the government marks ’em down to $49.98. - Speaking of nightmares, how do you suppose June fifth figures in the dreams of Weary Willie and his ink? Kansas City has a shortage of castor oil. Lit tle Johnny Jones says some towns are just natur ally lucky. Now that Italy has taken it up, too, beating up the German and Austrian armies seems to be a sort of fad over there in Europe. The Treasury Department is pretty shrewd at that. Just think what a demand there’ll be for those bonds on the installment plan if they land even half the families that have got the habit.

Can we find any scripture in the bi ble that will justify any in find ing fault to any of Gods shep erds for defending the church against in truders?

When this tube is Inflimed you have a rumbling: sound or imperfoct hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the In flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal eondition, hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces.
