Monday—we’ll say is our “Heatless
Day,”
One cinder, one flicker, one coal.
Tuesday—well—this is our “Meat
less Day,”
One oyster, one herring, one sole.
Wednesday—oh, this is our “Wheat
less Day,”
One com cake, one dodger, one
scone.
Thursday—we must have a “Sweet
less Day,”
One pickle, one lemon, one bone.
Friday—will make a good “Eatless
Day,”
One cheerful and glorious fast.
Saturday—call it a “Treatless Day,”
For all reciprocities past.
But Sunday—may Hoover forgive us,
we pray,
If we should all happen to feel
A little more hungry than usual today
And once again eat a square meal.

A Decade of Service
The Pastor preached his tenth an
niversary sermon Sunday morning.
He had many interesting things to
say abouot the early life of the church
organized in 1851. In 1908 the church
had 257 members, since then 330
have been added by letter and by
baptism, the larger part of them by
baptism. This is a fine showing when
you take into account that we have a
population of hardly 2,500.
In 1914 the church erected anew
house of worship, the most beautiful
and most costly church house between
Atlanta and Macon.
The church today is a denomina
tional asset, as well as a community
blessing. During the ten years the
church has given the big sum of
$62,000 to the cause of our Lord.
The rainy weather hindered the
church plans last week .The Laymens
meeting was called off. The ladies had
planned a reception for the pastor for
Wednesday night, which was cancell

active intrest in all church work, her
time and talents being cheerfully giv
en in all undertakings. To an unusual
degree she was devoted to her hus
band and children, preferring to
spend most of her time in making
their home life happy. One of her
chiefest pleasures iwas In doing
kindness for others, especially those
in sorrow and many, many people will
remember her thoughtful acts.
Funeral services were held on Sat
tirday aftenoon at 2:30 o’clock from
the residence, conducted by her pas
tor, Dr. Robert VanDeventer, assist
ed by Rev. S. R. England, of the
Methodist church, who offered the
first prayer and also the benediction.
A quartette rendered sweetly “Saved
by Grace,” Looking This Way” and
“Nearer My God to Thee.”
On Sunday morning the body was
taken to Cochran, her old home, for
interment.
Surviving Mrs. Wood are her hus
band, prominent in insurance circles
of the state, one daughter, Miss
Thelma Wood, a student at Miss Ma
son’s school in New York; three sons,
Leon Wood, of the United States
Navy, Robin Wood, a student at
Georgia, and William Carswell Wood;
and one brother, Mr. P. C. Carswell,
of Cochran.

the stomach, nausea, debilitating
headaches or dizzinss. This will all
go, and, besides, there will be no
sour food left over in the stomach to
poison your breath with Nauseous
