and growing rapidly. It is 52 miles from Atlanta,
and situated on the S. A. L. and G. M. railroads.

very high point of land, composed of a rich gray

weather there is neither mud nor standing water.

a very high moral tone, and no bar rooms; a cotton
mill, two iron foundries, a sash and door factory, a
roller flour-mill, cotton seed oil mill and guano
factory, two large cotton warehouses, where fifteen
thousand hales are handled annually, ands me of
the largest mercantile establisments in this sec

RELIGIOUSLY SPEAKING.
By Mrs. Bkci.au Ross.
Pondering over the uncertainty
of life and how indifferent the great
mass of people are concerning the
salvation of their own souls and of
those around them, I’m led to be
lieve that wo professed Christians
are too selfish and prone to seek
comfort and happiness found in
worldly pleasures surrounding us,
which are not lasting. Our brains
are busy, hut not always for God,
and, tn my mind, a true follower of
Christ has but little time to enter
into frivolous worldly affairs. We
are indifferent ir grasping the many
opportunities presented to us for
service in the Master’s vineyard.
In every avocation of life the oc
casion is presented to us to offer a
loving word, a smile, a kindly deed
or a song of praise to someone.
Have you thought “I’m responsible
for some soul being saved or being
lust?'’ Oh, what a blessed thought
to know some one* can say, “It was
you who spoke a kind word to me
or invited me to God’s house —really
put yourself to disadvantages to
come my way because you were in
terested in mv soul’s welfare.”
How many, oh, how many pro
fessed Christians turn sinners furth
er from the Lord by their insincer
ity ! Let me urge that we women
of Winder who are humbly endeav
oring to serve the Lord pray for one
another and in a spirit of love go
to those who are prone to err and
tell them of their mistakes. If God
dwells in our hearts we will appie
eiate the act :is a deed of kindness.
We are too jealous and envious of
another's success —in other words,
we can never succeed without love
binding our hearts. Pray more,
study more, know more of the
Book.
Slightest actions often meet sorest
needs. The world wants daily lit-
IV. Announcements for 1908-09.
The scholastic year of trine months is divided into
two parts, from September to Christinas and from
January Ito the end of the session. Every pupil
must, when entering school, secure from the secre
tary a card costing 50 cents per term (SI.OO for en
tire session) as an incidental fee covering the costs
of janitor, fuel, etc. These cards may be secured
at J, T. Strange’s store. Pupils not securing cards
will be reported to the board on the following day
and their seats declared vacant, unless such may be
cases of actual charity.
All pupils must present promotion cards, or
will be required to stand examination before Ixeing
allowed to pass. For pupils residing outside corpo
rate limits there will be a tuition fee of $1.50 per
month less the public fund.
The board has unanimously agreed upon one
session a day, hours from 9 to 2:30 with two inter
missions.
tle deeds of kindness. Wo can
often remove care and sorrow with
words of encouragement, sympathy
and love. Scatter smiles and sun
shine o’er toil and strife. Let each
of us report to the auxiliary meet
ings the joy received in doing kind
ness for others; do them where we
expect no return. That’s mission
work- Speak to souls you know are
lost. Keep a record of your ill days
and your own unkind* thoughts and
balance the good and had. Look at
self before criticizing others. I
realize my weakness and idleness
every day. God help us to he strong.
The above was suggested to me
by i> conversation between two
young converts.
Two Wise Ones.
The young man carefully re
moved the cigars from his vest
pocket and placed them on the
piano. But the young girl did not
flutter to them- “You,” she said
coldly, have loved before.” —
