Dead Mule Makes Much Trouble Mr. Tap Powell hauled his mule, which died in Homer Sunday night, over near Mr. W. B. Hill’s resi dence and placed it in a gully. Hill says Powell failed to put enough dirt on the mule to give it a decent burial, and therefoie he was much annoyed by the bad odor coming from the carcass. He therefore hitched his live mules to the dead one and dragged it back this way leaving it in the woods above town. Mr. Will Daniel says that mule has been dragged past his house twice and he hopes never to see it coming again. He says these hot days are not calculated to make a dead mule smell good.

BANKS COUNTY JOURNAL HOMER, LA., More About Foot Washing Mr. Liiitoh: Allow your isub scril*ei-s to help keep your piper more interesting. I uric; ai ar tide in your last issu-; on foot washing, and a disbelief in works, as thesubject matter, both l>eing non csential. I will agree with your writer that foot washing is not required at all. If it was, the disciples would have taught it in church to which they l>eloriged, (The church of Christ) for Christ told them when they received the holy ghost, it would teach them wh it He had taught them, and that you teach, so the holy ghost' failed to tell them to teach foot j washing, hence they failed to teach it. Your correspondent says he is not depending on works either, as! 1 understand him. I presume lie has faith only. Works then would seem to imply some action on the part of man to perform. Let us investigate works just a little. Faith is not the gi t of Lod as gome churches teach, but faith conies by healing something. So' your faith in Christ comes by j hearing of Christ; Rom. 10 lit. Now if your correspondent has no works what will he do with James 2 14, 17, 18, 20, 20, (works is the fruit, and evidence of faith.) Take Hitchcocks analysis, run down five requirements of Christ, and in obeying thisie icquirements you act, which acts are works, produced by the faith you have through hearing. The five points are hearing, believing, repenting, confessing and being baptized in Christ, making the five require meats as required of sinners to be come Christians. Then if you obey the require inents laid down for the Christian to obey, you have shown your faith to your works, as faith is dead without works. We might! have faith to believe the earth would save us from hunger, but unless we worked out our faith by doing something about the end of the year we would have to go the I same route more than once to make a shadow.

REMEMBER We Delight in Showing the NEW GOODS MRS. J. T. SMITH - - (iEOHGIA i punctures in the scalp in every square centimeter and as both ends are left free this makes over 1,000 hairs to each sqare inch. In the operation very line gold wires are used, 1 500 ot an inch in diameter, and fine long hairs from a woman’s head are attached to these. The gold loop acts as an anchor, which after sterilization is introduced into the subcutaneous tissue, where it is slightly twisted. ] j thus holding the hair in permanent position. It is claimed that 500 hairs can thus lie planted in three [ quarters of an hour. A special in strument lias been designed by Dr. S/.ckoly for planting thegold wires, which are so fine that after the work is completed for planting j 50,000 hairs there is only one gram of gold left in the scalp. The hair becomes perfectly natural after a capsule of tissue forms around the gold knot. The inflammation en tirely disappears within ten days after the operation and no evil re suits have ensued from any of the plantings. The hair can be treated in the ordinary way after the oper ation and the doctor’s earliest patient, who underwent the opera tion seven years ago, has a beaut iful head of natural glossy hair. — Augusta < ’hronicle.
