From The Mountains.
Editor JoiBtXAX: I have just
returned; from an appointment at
the Stone File Baptist church in
llaliersham county.
This church is situated among
the hills of Habersham, four miles
north of Clarkesville. '
One would think its name is ap
propriate from the stone piles
which surround it. But one would
be missled if he should judge the
appearance of the church or the
hearts of its members from its
name, for the church is nicely
painted and neatly kept; and a
more generous, warm hearted peo
ple it ne’re has been my lot to
meet.
By the way, l learned that most
of the money for the painting of
the church was given by the lion.
Thomas M. 8011.
Mr. Bell is a stanch Methodist;
but he has a strong hold on the
people of Habersham; and 1 was
told by a Baptist minister that the
Baptist w ould go for him in a solid
phalanx.
Polities is the whole talk in
Habersham, and everywhere, one
can hear nothing but 8011, Bell,
Bell.
A t Hollingsworth the same song
is sung, and the most important
word in every chorus is “Bell.”

You cant bo well if you have a
weak, unhealthy, tired out stom
ach. Neither can you feel good if
by some little irregularity in eating
you have caused the stomach to
get out of order. These little
stomach troubles arc signs of indi
gos! ion, which may and very often
docs turn into a very bad ease of
dyspepsia. Don’t allow this to
go on a single day without doing
something to overcome it. Take
some good reliable and safe digest
ant like KGDOB For Dyspepsia.
KODOL is the best remedy known
today for heart burn, belching and
all troubles arising from a disorder
cd digestion. It is pleasant to
take and affords relief promptly.
