CHURCH AND AGRICULTURE.
V The church in the country presents a perplexing problem.
The farm community which does not get the uplifting and helpful
influence of the church, tends towards a return to brutality and
barbarism, but the trouble is that the population in country com
munities is generally too small to support a minister, unless he i3
fortunate enough to have other sources of income.
• An Alabama congregation has devised a plan which goes far
to solve this problem and as it may prove suggestive to farming
communities near Athens we offer it as a good example.
The congregation secured ten acres of land, one acre of which
was reserved for a building site and the remaining fine acres was
set out in orchard. There will be truck farming on an intensive
scale between the trees while they are yet small. Each member of
the congregation is expeoted to contribute at least one day’s work
toward the care of the crops and the proceeds of their sale will go
into the church treasury.
Of course, the nrnister, also, if he would thoroughly inform
himself upon agricultural science, could add to its spiritual minis
trations by making himselfondispensible to his community in help
ing them in the daily task of making the land yield its wealth and
might, also increase his own comfort of living in the same way.
These are valuable suggestions for country communities. Now
that the drift is so strongly toward the cities, attractive church life
and well centered community interests would go far toward induc
ing families to remain on the farmk.
Christian communities might do well to take a leaf out of the
book of the Mormons, whose great strength seems to be in their
well cemented community sptrit. The Mormon church requires of
all of its adherents “the tithe” of their earnings and income and
maintains storehouses for the disposition of its tithing.
In sparsely settled districts (his community interest in mate
rial and spiritual matters means a world of good and a tremendous
incentive to fuller anad higher living.
WHAT MAKES YOUR MONEY GOOD.
Robinson Crusoe found money worthless on a lonely isle. He
found it acquired value only by exchange with other men.
Any man’s money is the same. It has value only because
other men accept it as value, and give value for it in return.
Where you are the more likely to receive proper value is
exchange for your money—whether from neighbors or strangers,
whether at home or abroad—is for you to determine. Who is the
more likely to deceive you—the stranger or the neighbor—is for
you to decide.

Bob Toombs.
Call was then made for George Mc
Duffie and the hero of a hundred bit
ter political contests trotted feebly to
the front and clasping the rail for
support, stood there, a spectacle that
at once, awakened respect for his for
mer triumphs and sympathy for his
terrible sufferings. In early life he
had been a born gladiator Rioted for
his attacks, bold, aggressive and often
offensive, but now bodily weakness
tiad subdued his ardent nature and
ong retirement had softened his per
sonal animosities. In a quiet even
tone he continued to advance his pe
culiar views and at the close received
an ovation, given more to the man
than to any special affect his speech
had produced upon an audience 1*0 con
stituted.
Seated nearby and an attenuate lis
tener was Col. Wm. Cumming from
whose hand he had received his dis
abling wound, in one of tht many
duels then considered necessary for
the maintenance of personal honor,
and it may be added that after the
(Edited by Geo. W. Iteab.)
debate the old antagonists met at the
home of Mr. John Bones and were hap
pily reconciled.
Only the closing speech of the de
bate remained to be made and for
♦hat came forward the man of the Lex
ington platform (mentioned above) in
the person of the Hon. Robert Toombs.
Such was the magnetism of the man
standing before them in all the vigor
of early manhood, that even before a
word had been uttered the audience—
wearied by many hours close attention
to the speakers—was roused into
keen expectation, and when his grand
voice rang out in trumpet tones, easi
ly heard throughout the whole block,
all lassitude was Li once dispelled. It
had been remarked that in the heat of
a debate he was often aggressive and
intolerant, but while he met every ar
gument of McDuffie with unflinching
boldness, lie treated the uld statesman
with unvarying respect and venera
tion and when, after a speech of urn
exampled power, he concluded with a
peroration that roused his hearers to
a furor of enthusiasm—McDuffie de
clared that the great man of the
South had at last appeared.

ly under the food and drugs act on
the recommendation of the Depart

involving these shipments have not

rtly be brought before the court*

the government's charges are juith
fied:
Eight and one-half casea of tomato
ptaup alleged to have been shipped
by Lewis Packing Co., San Francisco,
CaL ,were seized December 19, 1913,
•t Portland, Ore. Adulteration was

1 had hung my alpin on the hall
rack and had been asked into the
cheerful parlor.
Miss will be down in a
minute, sir,” said the servant girl, as
she left me, after a careful scrutiny
of the room to see that all looked,
neat. 1 walked over to the long mir

shoes and drew a window shade

Then I stood a minute listening for,
a soft rustle of skirts on the stair.
with the pleasant, anticipation of a
charming presence soon beaming on
me from the doorway, when I noticed
lady’s handbag on the piano,
waited about five minutes and still no
footsteps on the stairs, nor any
dainty creation of feminine form in
the doorway, and again I noted the
handbag.
My curiosity was aroused; I wanted
to see what that bag contained. Yes

contained, one nnd all a very stereo

hardly ever -any contained money to
amount to anything. Was this one
like the rest.
Ah, I would see. There was no
sign yet of the feminine form divine,

No, I should not have done so, I grant
you that, but I was tempted and fell

Hair that loses its color and lustre
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in tho hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attrac
tive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy,” which dark
ens the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. Besides, it takes off
dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall
ing hair. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears but what de
lights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beautiful
ly darkening the hair after a few
applications, it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an ap
pearance of abundance. (Adv.)
