The ease will likely go to the! jury some time this af ternoon. The grandjury finished its work Tues day afternoon, and will he published next week. Among the important things this grandjury did was to estab lish a county court for Barrow coun ty. Much thought and consideration was given to the sulVject by the grand jury before action was taken.

Malcom. of Statham, fa miliarly known ns “Gee” Malcom, re cently remarked that he made 80 per cent of a good crop of cotton last year with n.i-cro tenants, using the poison in the following proportions: Three pounds of arsenate, one gallon of water and four gallons of molasses. He kept the mixture well-stirred, applied it on top of the hud with a small mop. Hi* did not begin till nifir the middle of June, when th( weevils had gotten a good headway and had punctured the first squares. He then applied the poison and never lost another square until the migration sot in and his poison had given out, by which time the crop was about made. He has no fears of the weevil and ex pects to make a good crop of cotton if the s< ft sons are at all favorable It will be seen that this method is practically the same as that ukihl by Mr. Fernando Higgins, of Jackson county, of whom 1 wrote some time ago, except that Mr. Higgins’ formula was two gallons of molasses, ten pounds of arsenate, eight gallons of water, two packages of ice cream powder and one ounce of saccharine; and he applied tlie mixture with a small mop under neath the hud leaf, beginning ns soon as chopped out and applied every ten days for three applications, then six teen days. A merchant over there said thi' community averaged 25 per cent of a good crop, while Higgins made one hundred and twenty per cent of a good crop. The cost for the crop per acre in 1922 was $1.25 for five applica tions and he said a ten-year old child can go over two-acres a day. Putting it under file hud leaf keeps the r:iin from washing it off.—W. S. Walker in Walton News.

Ke<p good company, keep your mind in good fix, so you can live to be 66.” • ••••••• GETTING THINGS OUT OF THE WAY We may as well come at once to the matter of getting things out of the way, if we are to have a great revival iti Minder; and by a great revival wo mean, first a revival of religion be cause religion is fr,n<lamental, nIU gion is prior, religion is the thing that gives God his rightful place in all men’s affairs. When Jesus said to Mathew, the big business man. "follow me,” thi new disciple "forsook all and rose <m and followed him.” | Business.—There is no conflict be tween bus imps and religion. Religion is the heart of business. Business is the brains of religion. Mathew, Zae |eheus, John Wannatnaker, Brown the shoi, man, Joshua Levering and thou sands of others are witness**. When business closes doors from 10:00 i,> 11 :00 a. m., on Monday. April 23, anew day will begin for Winder.

None would dare disregard the Rihle. “Sis-k ye first His Kingdom.” The Father “gave Christ to he the Head over Jill things in the Interest of the church, the fulness of Him that till* tli all in all.” No fraternal or social or der in Winder hut will honor the church as the supreme institution. We there fore most respectfully request that all secret orders, clubs and social plans make the| meetings first wherever hu manly possihfle. Homes.—God meant the. home to lie heaven in miniature. But, appalling to sav, many of our present dav homes are far from paradise. Re-establish i today the family altar, get domestic wrongs righted, quit fussing with your neighbors, pray God to come into your heart, and let’s have a real revival for our homes. I Meann'Vs —lf God is to bless onr town in a large way. you and 1 will have to “quit our meanness” as Ham Jones used to say. Sectarian meanness, factional meanness, personal animos iti“s. grudges and grouches, littleness, narrowness, bickerings, petty ambit Sens from all of which may the good Lord deliver us. | Self.—lf we are to have n real re vival. if we are to have conquering power, we must -out Achnn to rt>afh.
