Last week was a fine time for
! school and all kinds of work.
| We are glad that the Bible
writers are going to cease theii
controversy.
When a newspaper ceases to
give the people intelligent news
it should cease to exist.
The kind of company your
boy or girl keeps will largely
determine his future character.
The “gray-coated” bandit of
Atlanta was once some moth
er’s pride and joy, but now
she is full of sorrow and re
morse if she knows of his aw
ful crime.
Miss Myrlie Hughes of Hope
well is our 2nd assistant here.
If we had another room we’d
be entitled to another assistant
Several have carried loads ol
holiy and mistletoe to Atlanta
recently.
What has become of the peo
pie who once would send out
for their neighbors to come in
for a Xmas egg-nog? Most of
them are lamenting the. fact
that their boys are getting on
a drunk when they can get the
liquor.
We do not know just what we
w ill do if the weevil gets us,but
we do know that this is too fine
a country to perish in and so
we will find something else.
A few of our most progress
ive citizens have graded and
soiled two very bad hills be
tween Messrs Clarence Martin
and Arthur Herring’s. They de
serve the thanks of all who trav
ol that road.
Miss Olivia Burgess, daugh
ter of Rev. and Mrs. L. H. Bur

Battery Station For Cumming.
Mr. E. L. Bradford has pur
chased machinery to re-charge
and repair storage batteries in
Camming.
This station will be a great
advantage to automobile own
ers in this county, as they can
have their batteries recharged
or repaired right here in Cum
ming without being given the
expense of sending them to At
lanta, and the delay in getting
them back.
Mr. Bradford deserves much
credit for his enterprise, and
we believe the people will show
him their full appreciation by
calling on him when in need of
service of this character.

A Baptist Opportunity.
Extended through our For
eign Mission Board, to all South
ern Baptists to help clothe the
millions of destitute people in
Russia. The needs are great—
the call is urgent. Millions of
people lace starvation and also
death from the cold of the se
vere winters of that country.
Our Baptist brethren and sis-
ters of the North are sending a j
ship load of clothng to other j
parts of Europe. Can we south
ern Baptists afford to turn a’
deaf ear to the appeal of our
Board and to the cry of desti
tution in the far East, while
we yet have plenty to eat and
wear, and they perish from hun
ger and cold? Remember Ihe
words of the Master, “The
poor ye always have with youj
and whensoever ye will, you i
may do them good,” and, “As;
ye would that men should do
to you, do ye also to them like-!
wise.” The opportunity is ours;
we shall account to God for the j
use we make of it.
What we do needs to lie done |
speedily. This appeal has doubt
less been sent to all pastors or
lome other official of each
•hurch, together with informa
ion as to packing, shipping,etc
if not it may be obtained from
the undersigned. Transporta
tion charges must be prepaid
on all packages as far as to
New York. Those who prefer
to do so may contribute money.
Note carefully what is needed:
Knitted garments.
Stout warm suits.
Simple cotton dresses.
Underwear and stockings.
Sensible shoes with low heels
and broad toes.
Hats and caps that will not
be injured by baling.
Yarns for knitting and leath
er for making shoes.
- Cloth in enormous quantities
including dress material,suit
ings, flannelettes, etc.
Baby clothing and for all ages
above baby-hood.
Good second-hand clothing
will be acceptable, but do not
send soiled underwear or any
thing liimsy or fancy.
In behealf of suffering hu
manity,
