If the truth was told hard I v a one of them satisfied with their theii roundings. The last one of them are hearilv tired of the new homes and with themselves back. Lots of them have a ready come back, and rejoice at their good luck in bemg able to get back. We have nothing against South Georgia. It is a good country for South Georgians, but it will suit the people who have bieu raised in this hilLv country, with its good climate and water, a d especially hard on children who make the change. We -ke the people of South Georgia, and have no desire to do ri0 damage whatever; but we j 0V e our own peo le and hate to see them led into making change that will do them more harm than good.—Mavsville En¬ terprise. The Cifts of God Once upon a time there was a who said, “I will work no more, and God will take care of And so he gave away all he had and sat down to wait for God to take care of him, A ti er a while he became hungry and noth ing came his way. But m thedis tmeehe saw some horses laden wilh packs; winch he knew eon- foo to eat. And he grew so hungry that he followed them. Up the hill he toiled, while still in,the distance were the food lad en horses. They led him a fine tn; rch, and he grew weaker with the hunger, At last he came near to wnere the hors es bad stopped earlier in the day, and there be found food that had been left over “This is harder than work,” he said’ “and I realize that God will take care ol the man who is up and doing, but it vou sit down and wait the horses will pass you bv, carrying God’s gifts on their backs.”—St. Louis Globe-Demo¬ crat Mrs. Clodfelter Un* derwent Operation Mrs. Elizabeth Clodfelter under went a serious and painful opera tion Sunday afternoon and is im proving slowly.

An old, old story tells o F a Sunday sc | l(l ,q i a d who was asked why |j ong ( { l( j en >t eat Daniel. His answer was, “Because most him was backbone and the rest him was grit.” It is the measurment of a man that counts We mrst judge by the moral and not the physical values whether he is strong.

No Use For Him The handsome young minister alwavs stationed himself at the church-door alter the service in order to greet his parishioners as they filled out. One Sabbath morning along came a raw Swetdish maid a stinger, so with his usual cordial¬ ity i he minister grasped her hand and said: “1 am very glad to see you here ulus morning.
