1 — ANNOUNCEMENT There will be a joint meeting of the Woman’s Missionary So ciety and the Parsonage Aid Society of the Methodist church June 11, 1918 at the home of Mrs. F. A. Ricks. Important Notice to Reynolds Methodists. For good reasons, known to every one, we have missed the iast three regular Sunday morn ing services at the Methodist church, and the service last Sun day evening, when the Rev. Mr. Johnstone preached for us, has been the only preaching service since the second Sunday in May. Now let every aone make it point to be in your place next Sunday, modning and evening. At the morning hour we shall elect delegates to the approach ing District Conference to be held at Lumpkin the latter part of the month, besides another important matter or two that should be attended to. The pastor will endeavor to bring you a message from the word of God at each service dealing with matters of fundamental import. Let us not permit our Sunday School interest to lag. If we are not careful, we may find our selves making the excuse that the weather is too hot, and the nights too short, etc., and there by cheat ourselves out of some of the rich things which our •good God has provided for us. Sincerely youi>, J. H. ALLEN, Pastor. Hon. Sam Olive, the commence ment speaker, was delightfully entertained while in Reynolds by Hon. and Mrs. C. B. Marshall.

There’s glory waiting on those fields, thre’s a name for every man Who wants to do his level best, just like a Southerner can, There are names like Washington, and Grant, Farragut and Lee Awaiting there upon those fields, who’ll bring us victory ? We’re parting soon, but not for long, at least we hope that way. We’re with you all in spirit, boys though at home some must saty. Just think about the stars and stripes, the battles they’ve been through. And keep them floating to the skies, the task is up to you. Your Grandads all were scrappers, boys, no kings could hold’em down; Now you go out and do your bit, and do the Kaiser Brown. What matters how the cannon roar, when Southerners face the Gaff?
