How sad to write these lines of one
so dear to us—no Effie now!
Can we ever become fully reconciled
to part with Effie? From one stand
point, it would seem it would be impos
sible, but from another, and .a more
wise view, we know that death is only
a sleep from which we will all be awak
ened and then we shall meet Effie
again.
On the morning of September 19th,
our loving Savior cast His eye from
heaven to earth and saw on a snowy
bed a little sufferer, and then He sent
an angel, with robes of shining bright
ness. Then, bearing the face of Effie
on his bosom, he took his flight heaven
ward, and there, around the great white
throne, Effie joined the band of angels.
Effie was 12 years old and the sun
beam of the home. Why one so bright
should be taken in the early morn of
life and the home left so sad and deso
late is one of the mysteries of God’s
providence which we cannot explain.
Dear mother, I know your heart is
torn and bleeding, because dear Effie’s
voice will never more be heard on
earth, but remember that a place is
filled in heaven that can never more be
vacant.
Effie was a bright little girl, always
wore, a smile. She will be greatly
missed by all. And let me extend my
sympathy to the dear mother and other
relatives.
A jewel that brightens the home is
gone,
And darkness has taken its place,
And hearts that it gladdened, now all
forlorn
Have no help but the Master’s grace.
She only wears the mask of sleep,
For her virtue never can die.
When at her grave we stand and weep,
We know we shall meet her by
and by,

Boy or Girl?
Great Question!
This brings to many minds an old and
tried family remedy—an external ap
plication known as
“Mother’s Friend.”
During the period of
expectancy it is ap
plied to the ab-
, dominal muscles and
is designed to soothe
the intricate network
of nerves involved.
In this manner it
has such a splendid
influence as to justi
fy Its use in all cases of coming
mother-hood. It has been generally rec
ommended for years and years and those
who have used it speak in highest praise
of the immense relief It affords. Particu
larly do these knowing mothers speak of
the absence of morning sickness, absence
of strain on the ligaments and freedom 1
from those many other distresses usually
looked forward to with such concern.
There is no question but what
“Mother’s Friend" has a marked tendency
to relieve the mind and this of itself in
addition to the physical relief has given
it a very wide popularity among women.
You can obtain “Mother’s Friend” at
almost any drug store. It has helped a
host of mothers to a complete recovery.

Child, Scalded When
Coffeepot Exploded,
Critically Injured.
Little Arthur Hodge, the three-year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hodge,
was seriously injured when a coffee pot
exploded on the stove in the home Sat
urday morning, the boiling water strik
ing him in the face.
A cork had been pushed into the
spout of the pot and the lid, in some*
manner, became wedged firmly in the
pot, leaving no vent through which the
steam could escape.
When the explosion came, the child
was playing on the floor in the kitchen,
the boiling water striking him in the
face, fairly drenching his body, inflict
ing serious injury. He was quickly
given medical attention, and it is
though now the child has a fair
chance to recover.

Some Mean Thief Took
Shoes Off a Sleeping
Man—Baby-Candy Stunt
Bob Stinson, a man living in North
Dalton, has received a visit from the
guy who stole candy from the baby
and swapped a plugged quarter for
change from a blind man’s box. The
real mean man visited Mr. Stinson, and,
while he was asleep with his clothes
on, he swiped Mr. Stinson’s shoes from
off his feet.
Mr. Stinson was resting in the grove
near the Duane chair company, and the
cool autumn air lulled him to sleep.
While he slept, some unknown custo
mer found him. When Mr. Stinson
Officer s Pistol Was
Accidentally Fired,
Causing Close Shave
B. L. Parker, a farmer of this county,
narrowly escaped injury yesterday
morning when a bullet passed through
the leg of his trousers, barely missing
his ankle, when a pistol fell from the
pocket of Deputy Sheriff Duckworth
and was discharged on striking the
floor.
The officer had accompanied Mr.
Parker to the office of Col. W. E.
Mann, where he was to sign a bond.
While the men were in the office, two
negro women entered to consult Col.
Mann about a law suit. Deputy Duck
worth was seated near one of the wo
men, and when he arose from his chair,
the pistol dropped from his pocket.
It struck the floor directly between
the feet of the woman and was dis
charged.
The “gun” had more the appearance
of a baby cannon than a toy, and when
it was discharged, the report, in the
office, was almost deafening. Five per
sons were in the office at the time, and
everyone began a hasty examination to
find out if the bullet had lodged in his
anatomy. It was a decidedly startled
crowd. Mr. Parker found the hole
where the bullet had passed through
the leg of his trousers.

The Bartow county fair, which fol
lows the Whitfield fair, starting Octo-
tober 20th at Cartersville, will have
much of interest to the visitors. Horse
racing will be a decided fature of the
fair, and some of the best race horses
in the South will be there.
Arrangements have been made to
secure the horses that will race at the
Alabama and Georgia state fairs. This
was made possible by setting the dates
between the two fairs,- the owners of
the stock stopping over in Cartersville
with their horses, and so all who attend
the fair at Cartersville are certain to
witness unusual horse racing.
The Bartow fair association also an
nounces that they have, secured the
same attractions that are exhibiting at
the state fairs, and this will prove an
other big feature.
In addition to this, fine agricultural
exhibits, a big poultry show, corn club
exhibits, a big, racing ostrich, and an
interesting singing convention will be
other features.
The fair at Cartersville this year
gives promise of being an excellent one,
and will doubtless attract many "Dalton
people. It begins on October 20th, and
runs four days.

Atlanta.—It is believed that the plan
for reducing cotton acreage endorsed
by the Georgia chamber of commerce at
its annual meeting in Macon, Septem
ber 23, which it has named the “Lee
County Plan,” because the basic idea
originated in Lee county, Ga., where
the farmers are now being organized
and a charter applied for, will prove
to be the solution of the South’s cot
ton problem.
Robert F. Maddox, a vice-president
of the Georgia chamber of commerce,
and one of the most widely known of
Southern bankers, ’ stated in an address
before the annual meeting that he be
lieved this plan to be the only one so
far advanced, that is both practical and
legal, and that, if it is generally
adopted throughout the cotton states, it
will raise the price of both this year’s
and next year’s cotton to normal level.
This plan provides a contract be
tween farmers to limit production to
ten acres to the mule, or plow, and
makes it absolutely legal and enforce
able by injunction, by incorporating a
county association of 75 per cent of the
farmers, with the right to establish
branch associations in all other coun
ties of the state on the application of
75 per cent of the farmers of the coun
ty, thus avoiding the expense and de
lay of incorporating in more than one
county in a state. Skilled lawyers pro
nounce the plan absolutely constitu
tional, and say that national and state
governments cannot legally, under
either the federal or state constitutions,
restrict cotton acreage .or tax exceess
production.
The “Buy-a-Bale Committee” of At
lanta has endorsed the plan in a letter
to the Georgia chamber of commerce,
and the work of organizing the coun
ties of Georgia will probably be on
with a rush within the week.
The “Lee County Plan” will be pre
sented to the delegates to the South
eastern Food Crops conference, which
the Georgia chamber of commerce and
the commissioner of agriculture of
Georgia have called to meet in Atlanta,
October 5 and 6, and it is hoped that
the plan will be adopted for all of the
Southeastern cotton states.
President Wilson telegraphed the
Georgia chamber of commerce during
the annual meeting as follows:
‘ ‘ The White House, Washington, D.
C., Sept. 23, 1914.—President Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, Macon, Ga.—I
congratulate you upon your work dur

wisdom of your campaign for the in
creased production of food crops. I
heartily commend the purpose of the
