Brother Pastors, a soletnn re
sponsibility rests on u as pas
ters to see to it that our people
are kept informed abuui Bap
tist affairs. Certainly no better
medium of information could
be placed in their hands and
homes than our state Baptist
paper, which is now owned and
being operated by'the Georgia
Baptist Convention, not for pe
cuniary gain bul for the infor
mation of our Baptist folks. It
is really being published at. a
financial loss to the denomina
tion, at the present price of? 2
a year.
Will not every pastor and ev
ery leader,' therefore, do his
bast in making this effort which
may mean so much lor the glo
ry of our Lord and the advance
ment of His kingdom in the
earth? Brother laymen, encour
age your pastor to lead out in
this important matter in your
church.

PICKPOCKETS TRICKS.
Gold Watch Their Favorite
Loot.
If you are standing in a crowd
and street car, your arms elevat
ed i:i the strap hanging posi
tion, beware of the pretty girl
acing you and reading a news
paper unconsciously (?) thru;
up under your chin, wholly con
cealing your vest front from
view. In that moment her little
fingers are detaching your new
watch from its chain or fob. i he
operation is timed to take piact
just before a street stop so that
she leaves the car about five sec
onds after your slov timepieci
leaves you.
A less common, because more
elaborate, trick is the false arm
protruding from the right
sleeve and resting casually and
naturally in the lap of the re
spectable stranger seated be
side you. His real arm steab
out from beneath the side ol
his coat—steals is right—and 2
fingers, like intelligent snakes
remove your gold watch’. It i;
ansnapped from its chain by a
ibng finger nail trained to such
work.
Somebody in the East thought
of circumventing the pickpock
ets, by wearing in crowded plu
cos, and amid the throngs ol
holiday times and circuses and
fairs, an “understudy watch. ’’
This is merely a $1.50 Pocket
Ben Watch, such as now sold by
Harvie Simpson.
The valuable gold watch i
left at home, while Pocket Ben
offers himself as sacrifice to
the pickpockets—only, the lat
ter being wily as well as crook
ed, will not risk the penitenti- i
ary for a $1.50 watch, and so'
the owner saves both the under
study and its gold counterpart
as well. A
