ARTHUR MOORE Arthur Moore, the Beloved of Bainbridge came over Sunday and held services at the Methodist Church and one of the largest crowds that ever greeted a preacher heard him at the morn ing service. He was only here for the one service and he preach ed as usual one loving sermons of bis that will always reach | humanity and hold them. After his sermon an effort was made to raise money enough to pay off the church debt and only a few dollars were lacking of raising the amount. The work of Mr, Moore in this capacity being be cause of the fact that the church needed his help. He left on the noon train back to his meeting in east Georgia. His sermon was enjoyed as is all things that Moore does, everybody feels such faith and confidence in the man that his every act is pleas- began to turn the mill and be fore he could get down one of ingtothe folks here that love him his feet got caught in the cog and a toe was ground off be fore he could get out of the way. The little fellow is gettin along very nicely under the circum stances and it is hoped that no complex situation will develop to cause him any more trouble. Paul is a bright little fellow and his friends are sorry to bear of this accident. ATTIPU5 SCHOOL The Attapulgus school is clos ing ;its second month ot the 1916-17 school year.

CHURCH ITEMS l this l&ed will take place Friday afternoon and will be in the nature of a Hallowee’n party under the au spices of the club and in the interest of some need of equip ment. We as a club realize the necss- ity of good reading for our young people. Our motto is; ‘‘Young America First.” We also realize the hurtful influence upon our young people of the cheap litera ture of the “yellow back” type that floods our country. One of the first things that this club has in mind is the organization of a public reading room. In this way we hope to supply our young people both in and out of school with wholesome literature. We are now in a meeting here that promises great things for Christ’s Kingdom. Bro. McCord is still with us. His preaching is plain pungent and of John the Baptist style. Prof. Peavy is delighting the people in lead ing them in song and Mrs. J. W. Adams the well known pianist is presiding at the piano. All people of this section are invited to hear them. Services will continue through Sunday 30th. and longer if necessary. Hawkes, the Eye Man is in the city today at the Willis Drug Company. A man that is trained as optician and knows the bust nesit cotton have inclined them to be lieve that steps looking to peace in Europe are underway, which the public has not been informed of, and that the upward trend of cotton has been due to these developments. Atlanta travel ing men who cover the south eastern states declare this sec tion of the country has never before enjoyed a more bountiful prosperity. SKULL IS CRUSHEO Carlton, the 5-year son of Af- ton Williams of Cairo, is in a sanitarium suffering from a fractured skull and other bruises as the result ot a runaway. It seems that the young lad was out with an older boy, when the horse became suddenly frightened by a passing car. Both boys were thrown violently against the brick building of Joe Lee’s Laundry, but young Willi ams seemed to have been the most seriously injured. Reports from the hospital later are the young lad is fatally injured. Young Griffin, who was with the little Williams boy, is only slightly bruised. EPisipFcicH The regular services will be conducted in this Church next Sunday as follows: 10:00 A. M. Sunday School. 11:00 A. M. morning prayer and sermon. 7:30 P. M. evening prayer and sermon. Mid-week Prayer Service on every Wednesday at 4:00 o’clock. The people of the community are cordially invited to attend ail services. Night performan.ee for “Fall of a Nation” at eight thirty. TO THE DELINQUENT STREET TAX PAYERS The police department has been trying all the year to col lect 'in the stieet Lax due the city and process is alow because they have tried hard to keep from fining anyone for ?neg- lecting to pay. If they had lin ed up about a hundred delin quents and fined them as the law requires you would hear a howl go up that would shake the very banks of Flint River, but they dont want to do this except as a last resort. The city cannot run on air and they are needing funds now to keep up tne city streets as they should be. They can’t well do it without the street tax fund and every citizen knows it. The advalorem tax books have been open for several weeks now and the folks are not pay ing that tax as fast as they do ordinarily. The city negds the funds to run on just like any other business and they ought to have it when it is due with out having to bear down on any one. Have you paid your tax yet? IF NOT it is a mighty good time to do so. CONFERENCE AT RECOVERY Presiding Elder E. F. Morgan held the fourth Quarterly Confer ence at Recovery, Sunday after noon. The charge will pay out in fullon all lines thereby makingone of the best showings that it has made in years. The quarterly conference sermon was preach ed by Evangelist Walstein Mc- Kord who is now engaged with pastor Jordan in revival services at Climax. A splendid dinner by all those present. Elder Mor gan remained over night and preached at Sylvania church Sunday morning to an appreciat ive consregation. He proceed ed to pull the church of the hole on debts on pastor’s Balary and was successful in that. The circuit always enjoys the visits of the presiding elder and will look forward on the first quarter in January. The Willis Drug Co., has sold 1150Jbottles of Tanlac during the past twelve months, which breaks all records for this part of 1 the country. tained from county agents or by writing to the College of Agri culture. Especially useful at this time is a bulletin just issued by the College of Agriculture on “Oat Production in Georgia,*. This gives leading varieties of oat<? grown the state at various places, best time of seeding, best method of seeding, times of ma turity, best results from different combinations of fertilizers, etc.'*' Circulars on wheat and alfalfa are also available at the college. Rev. J. A. Harrison will preach Sunday morning at our church. Hear him he is great and good. Brother G. C. Butler will have charge of the service Sun day night. He will speak and organize a Laymen’s Move ment. Several other Laymen will deliver addresses. Let every body hear these Laymen and at tend the organization of this prophitic movement. Lovingly. M. A. Morgan. OFFICERS DO THEIR BEST A little agitation of the sub ject had kept the folks from be ing worried with hogs eating up their yards the past week. In this matter the policemen did not get the proper support as they often would pull money out of their own pockets to hire boys to help them catch the hogs and only to have the city council as per their monthly statement re fund the impounding fee. This is a scant piece of encourage ment and puts the officer in an embarassing light and makes his work a burden. The council naturally dont like to be criticis ed but they are obliged to admit that this is true and has a ten dency to make the impounding laws a joke. If an officer catches a man’s stock running at large and obeys his ordinance and im pounds it, then the owner going before the council has his work set aside, the officer is blamed by the stock owner and looked on a mischief maker when he is Only doing his duty and the one mak ing the mischief is the governing body behind him that does not sustain him in the discharge of the duty.. The council does not mean to nullify the law but that is just exactly what they do in cases of this kind. /7 Cleaning and Pressing proper ly done. Dixie Steam Lanudry, —mmhiiimu
