SNAP SHOTS. (By Kev. \V. H. Faust.) . Many a guv Lorbaris blushes these days as he sees how some of the fair sex hoverizes in the mat ter of wearing apparel. When a woman has to shave in order to wear certain dresses, it is a sign that some father or brother ought to tell her the limit has been f-^bhed. We may have heard the last word about the League of Nations, but one thing sure and that is we have not heard the last word from the w omen of our country. The drunkard and the profiteer are stilt in favor of the liquor trafic, but all other classes are ab solutely opposed to it. The averse man never differs from his neighbor save in those -points from which big neighbor differs from him. It would he well for the gentle men who to further their own ends, are trying to tie up all reli gious denominations, to remember that you can tie a dog and eats tail together and fling them over a clothes line, hut what will you have? Ninety? no. When good Methodist and Bap tist who contributed their money to the V. M. C. A. now see it being used to promote dances in the \ . M. C. A. it cuts to the quick. Some men and some organizations just don’t seem to know what sensible people are liable to think. The School Board of Louisville, Ky., says, “The children have a natural inclination to dance and therefore its should be cultivated, some people are simple enuf to Nbi* ultivate any natural inclina tion, and then what do you leave? Any democracy that succeeds must if necessity he, a democracy based upon intelligence annd con secrated common sense. Demo cracy in the hands of an intelli gent nad righteous people is an uncomfortable blessing, while au tocracy grows like tank weeks, while ignorance and thriftlessness have prepared a fertile soil. Various authors are suggesting what will fill the empty pews. Two tilings will do it; the old time gos pel rightly preached, and a real converted membership whose lives are consecrated to the service of Cod. * A fellow who will pay his Rail road fare to Atlanta and go to Brand Opera and then knock a Chautauqua for his home town, would buy coco-cola with the nickel from the eyes of his dead friend. Some editor has offered $5 for a preacher who will 'tackle the coco-cola proposition. Wish he would send this scribe a check. Plenty of would-be candidates for governor, or at least we would |Xdge so from the candidate hand shakes received from the big men of the day over the state. WHICH ROAD? Mere you stand at the parting of the ways; some road you are to take; and as you stand here, consider and know how it is that you intend to live. < 'an y no had habits, no c- •erupting association*, no enmites and strifes into a New Year. Leave these behind, and let the dead past bury its dead; leave tliepi behind and thank God that you are able to leave them. —Eph- laifn Peabody. • Using Common Sense. Wisdom consists not in an abun dance of smartness, but mostly in a sane use of what little sense we are fortunate enough to possess. * Strange Street Names. what is the quaintest street name you know of in London, past or pres ent? It would probably be hard, re lates the London Chronicle, to beat Shalligonaked street, which, according to the late Sir Laurence Gomme’s evi dence before the local records com mittee, appears as the name of a street In Wapping in a sewers rate book for K 748. In those days the naming of a trebt was not in the hands of a sedate public authority, hence the oddity of some of these old names* _ __ . BANKHEAD HIGHWAY NEWS.
