Anyway the Bachelors of

It’s all right to jail all the

And in response to the de

For every dollar that the

THEY CALL HIM TOM
It is seldom you hear a man
in the Ninth Congressional dis
trict of Georgia say ‘‘Hon Thos
M. Bell.” They call him Tom
Hell. Why? Because they
know he is close to them. He
doesn’t feel himself above the
masses, but on a level with
them. He treats the poorest
man like the richest, and will
give him attention as quickly.
Tom Bell of the Ninth reminds
me very much of Bob Taylor
of Tennessee. The people of
many counties ofEast Tennes
see were republicans but when
Hob Taylor would run on the
democratic ticket they voted
for him. They loved the man
because they knew in him they
had a friend. The same is true
of Tom Bell in North Georgia.

HAW CREEK
Well, the fourth Sunday
picnic is over, but we did not
Igo to the picnic, but went to
a little country church and
heard the man of God preach
the gospel and 1 believe that
every one that was present
was benefited by being pres
ent, for the spirit of the Lord
was there and you could see
its effect on the people. The
text was the word of David
are the not. A case that should
prompt Gods servants to be
about our fathers business.
Seems the world is being
Carried away by" the powers
of the wicked one and a lot
of the church members. It
looks like going into idolatry
because they are being de
ceived by the cunning craft
ness of men whereby they lie
in wait to deceive when the
apostle Paul tells us to be not
deceived for God is *not mock
ed. Those deceivers are like
the five foolish j virgins, after
its too late for them to enter
in they will come and ask
for entrance in but the Lord
will say I never knew you.
We believe that when the
Lord calls for us to come in if
we have failed to have oil in
our lamps it will be too late,
so let us all be ready when our
Lord doeth all so we can go
in before the door is closed
against us.
Well, there is to be an all
day singing here next Sunday
Let all the singers come and
sing with spirit and the Lord
will be pleased with it. Lets
have Sunday school at nine
o’clock. I think we ought to
have preaching at eleven and
let the singers rest for awhile.
We hope that there wont be
one drop of whiskey on the
place that day.

HOW MUCH OF THE FIRE
RISK ARE YOU CARRYING?
More thain you think, unless
you have increased your in
surance as your property value
has increased. If your home
burned, it would cost you twice
the money you paid originally
to rebuild it. Additional In
surance costs so little you ca n
not afford to leave your prop si

In Memory
Of Francis Marion Owen,
who departed this life May
3rd 1920 He was in his 79th
year, joined Salem church in
the year 1860 nearly sixty
years ago. Served in the Con
federate army four years, mar
ried Margaret Whitmore soon
after the war, who preceded
him to the grave six years. He
was chosen deacon in the year
1880. Asa soldier he was al
ways found at the post of duty
as a church member he was in
terested in every phase of
charch work, was one of the
most faithful members in at
tendance; in contribution to
every object fostered by the
church, devoted and faithful
Sunday school superintendent
and teacher; as a neighbor he
was ever ready to respond to
the call for service; as a hus
band and father he was as
much devoted to his family as
any man the writer ever knew.
In putting away of Bro.
Owen our church has lost a
faithful consecrated member.
He leaves two brothers, Geo
W. and John R. Owen, three
sisters, Mrs. Geo. W. Stovall,
Mrs L L Turner and Mrs L B
Coggins, one son. Geo M Owen
three daughters, Mrs Ella Cain
Clara Jones and Lillie Nix all
who can rise up and bless his
memory.
