ADEL,BERRIEN CO.. GEORGIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 12” 1U V Al
OUR PAPER, THE NEWS.
.
We are not boastful and do not
make it a rule to be continually
harping about our paper, The
News. We have some, human, if
not humane , traits about us and
desire again to call attention to
some of our aims and features.
A few months ago when the pres¬
ent owner assumed management
of the newspaper outfit here, be-
cause of the many known
ties that were sure to present
themselves in the future, he an¬
nounced that he donned the new
role with “fear and trembling.”
However, we have had “ideals”
and from time to time lmve made
such improvements as surround¬
ing conditions would justify.
Brethren of the press have com¬
plimented our efforts very high¬
ly in two ways. First, by flatter-
ing comment in their publeafions
and second, by liberal clippings
from our columns. These
led with direct words of approval
from our own citizens who are
not given to deceit lead us to be¬
lieve that we have made some
progress and that our efforts are
in a measure appreciated.
Iu fact we are to the point
where we have a pardonable pride
in the paper that we send out
weekly. Two features which we
wish to commend are Bill Arp’s
letters and Dr. Talmage’s ser¬
mons. These are appreciated and
read by hundreds of thousands of
people throughout the country
and we are glad to be able to
send out messages of glad tidings
and great joy. No other paper
in tins county or section have
both of these features.
The current events of the state
are epitomized under the head of
“Georgia News Items’’ and the
important events of the country
at large a.e given in condensed
form.
We are now enlisting a corps
of special correspondents who will
furnish us with weekly budgets
from their respective neighbor
hoods. Our local columns are
carefully looked after and al¬
though an occasional item of in¬
terest escapes us, it is the excep¬
tion and not the rule, We will
state here that we ivoulu consider
it a favor for our friends to report
visitors and items of news that
may not come within the person¬
al.observation of our regular news
gatherers.
In our editorial notes and com¬
ment we wish to be democratic
and to stand always for what we
conceive to be right and proper.

Spring coughs are specially
dangerous and unless cured at

Street Capers.
A crowd around the post office
Sunday afternoon were much a-
mused over the queer antics of a
stranger who ha I come to town.
He was as black a specimen as you
commonly see and his lull black
suit lent darkness to the scene.
He had a number of perambula-
tory gaits and shifted easily from
one to the other. He seemed to
observe passers-by and on-lookers
with a queer kind of diffidence and
would shy out into the middle of
the street and back to the side
walk with great celerity, He
would bow his head with much
politeness but not a syllable would
he utter. His general demeanor
was enough to arouse a
ed suspicion that he was on a jag
from blind tiger bitters but there
was no direct evidence on this
point. Birds of a feather are
said to flock together and he had
evidently not found any congeni-
aJity in the bright Easter cos-
tames and faces of the spectators.
So, when he was somewhat press¬
ed by the curious gazers, he made
a break for a near-by house and
with a regular buzzard-lope he
eluded his pursuers and darted
under the building where he was
safe from further molestation, at
least for the time being.

Her Piece de Resistance.
Mr. Fraidover—“I don’t dare
bring any one of the fellows home
unexpectedly because I never
know what my wife will have for
dinner.
Mr. Bravitout—“Oh, I always
know what my wife will have,
because in a case of that sort she
invariably has the same thing.”
Mr. Fraidover— (interestedly)
—“And what is that?”
Mr. Bravitout—“A fit.”
Easter Services Sunday.
Last Sunday was an ideal Eas-
ter day and special services were
held at the Baptist; church. The
house was tastily decorated with
pure white flowers, a beautiful
vase of lilies being among the
flowers displayed.
The choir singing was a promi¬
nent feature and the singers ex¬
celled themselves in their splen¬
did selections. They each deserve
special mention for the manner
in which the complete program
was rendered.
The sea of bright faces and ra¬
diant costumes, with the fragrant
flowers and sv eet music, seemed
(o invoke a special inspiration on
minister's part and the Resurrec¬
tion was the. appropriate subject
from which a beautiful and very
feeling discourse was delivered.
The handsome young pastor sur¬
passed himself in "the delivery of
this finely worded effort and his
eloquent appeals touched and
softened the hearts of his hearers
and at the conclusion of the serv¬
ices he was most cordially con¬
gratulated.
The congregation was an unus-
a11 .V large one, the spacious audi¬
torium being crowded to about
its full seating capacity.
The night song service and ser¬
mon were a harmonious confirm-
ation of the morning topics and
the attendants were highly edified.
Skin troubles, cuts, burns,
scalds and chafing quickly heal by

Salve. It is imitated. Be sure

Died at Obe.
Mrs. . 1 . W. Wells died at her

cemetery on Sunday. Mr. and
Mrs. Wells are known throughout

odist minister and has worked in
tins territory for years. They

and have many friends here.
The deceased leaves four chil¬
dren and a husband to mourn her
untimely death.—Observer.
“Last winter I was confined to
my bed with a very bad cold on
lungs. Nothing gave me re-
lief. Finally my wife bought a
bottle of One Minute Cough Dure
that effected a speedy cure. 1
cannot speak too highly of that
excellent remedy.” -Mr, T. K.

“Look here, sir,” said the irate
customer to the dry goods clerk ;
“you sold me this piece of goods
warranted a fast color. It was
green when I bought it, and
now it has turned to a sickly blue
in less than two weeks."
