If bis prayer was answered the cohorts of sin must have been utterly routed on that occasion: 0, Lawd, give Thy servant this morning the eyes of the eagle and the wisdom of the owl, connect his soul with the gospel tele phone iu the central skies, laminate his brow with the sun of Heaven, plzeu his mind with love for de people, turpentine his imagination, grease ids lips with ‘possum oil, loosen his tonga with the sledge hammer of Thy power, ’lectrify his brain wid de lightnin’ of de word, put 'petual motion in his nlims, till him plum full of the dynamite of Dy glory, 'uoint him all over wid de kerosene oil of D.v sal vation and sot him oil tire. Amen. Has Solved 801 l Weevil Question How to farm under boll weevil condi tions is a knotty problem, hut it s ems that there is one farmer in this section that lias learned how to get ahead of the pest and to make money in spite of it. The I.awreneeville News-Herald, in writing of the farming op erations of Mr. J. lb Whitworth, says that he is in good circumstances, farm paid for, a nice, comfortable home to live in, good barn and outbuildings, crib full of corn, plen ty of fodder, an abundance* of bay, partic ularly alfalfa, hams, side meat and shoul ders hanging in the smokehouse, wheat both ground and unground; in fact all of the nec essary tilings to be found on tin* farm. \es, even money in tin* bank, and doesn't owe a human being a dollar in the world. And, strange to relate, he lias not planted nor al lowed anyone else to plant a cotton seed on his farm in twelve years. We Georgians have been thinking all along that to attempt to farm in this state without planting most of our lands in cotton was to invite bank ruptcy and starvation. Possibly we have heel, mistaken. A little thought along tins Une might help the farmers in their opera tions in the future. Winder’s Clock Tolls the Time jack Patterson, the valuable (we W 'al . . i, e( .

And studied the mountains and plains, And listened to switches and rules. That have made tears amid clouds and rain. V I’ve written many notes and papers, Of knowledge and silly tilings. I've thrown chalk from board to board And caught it again and again. And now for the pleasures of summer, The trees, the blossoms and tilings. The birds that make me so happy, Are now my pleasures again. / BARBECUE DINNER. —f;/ _ Saturday, May 21st.

Saving money is, first of all a Brain and Backbone matter. And this is just the reason why so many people who make money can’t save any of it —they don’t think and have little self-control. Happily, however, there are very few who cannot learn the necessary lessons, if they will. The time to start is TODAY, and the place—THlS BANK.
