VOL UME 19 ALL GA, FRIDAY J ( FLY isrTTivmreR 932 Cross Eoafls Church Are Enter¬ taining Sunday School Convention The members of Cross Roads church are ready to entertain delegates and visitors that will attend the Sunday School conven t on that is in session today and tomorrow. The programme consist ot of the most noted people in part of the state and many good things are in st ne for those that attend. Besure to attend each day and you will be greatly fitted. Dr. William Ayer’s lecture will be at eleven o’clock tomorrow. He is a noble cbsistian man and he did a great work in the mis¬ sionary field in China. Ilis good Christian influence is felt when¬ ever he goes. What Was He (by dr. frank crake) I am glad, said the invalid, that 1 have two sides. Why? I asked. Recause when I get tired of lying on one side I can turn on the other. That's a queer thing to be thank ful for. Oh, I don’t know. Think of how many people tnere who are so freely they can’t turn over. I have to lie abed all dav, and 1 oiten think of the poor devils who are' sicker than I, and cannot change position. But how many more there are who are better off than vou, heaLhy people can walk about, while you must lie here and suffer. Aren’t you sorry for yourself when you think of them. Sorry for myseif? Oh, no. have my troubles, but not that one, thank heaven! What do you mean? I mean what trouble I have is boclily, Being sorry for mvseif is a disease of the minn. Fate has spared me that, I have no end of things to be glad over. What is it, some kind of relig- ion? it No. Just sense. I worked out for mvseif I found out that mv feelings depend on a good deal upon the direction I look- If I compare my condition with that of those more fortunate than I it makes me unhaipv. I dont want to be gloomy, and it so 1 m- portant an object can be attained bv projecting mv thoughts the right way, why not do it? It so simple thing to do. I know, but vou can’t getaway from facts. You are bedridden. Facts are relative. There are no absolute facts, The moon seems as big as a barrel when it is just above the horizon, and the of a saucer when high in the size skv. Which is its real size? Neither. all matter ot re- Correct. Its a irO'-ton non A dollar is as big as a you tave only ten oents ♦ v it ounce. PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF FRANKLIN COUNTY AND ITS READERS. Several other prominent speak, ers will ho present both today and tomoriovv. Mrs. Claud Tribble is numbered as 010 of the promi nent readers of the conventi) n and as usual, she wiU have a good paper. The members of the Carnesville Baptist church should take dinner both days as the members of Cross Roads church have always been liberal toward our church on such occasions. Many have already expressed their willingness to help entertain the delegates. All in all this will be the best contion ever held in Tugalo Asso¬ ciation as much interest is being manifested throughout the com¬ munity. Each one must do his or her part. to vour name, but if you have a big rool of fifty dollar bill a dol¬ lar is nothing. ' «You are quite a phiospher. A while ago you suggested I was some . sori of a religionist. Why do you insist on labelling me? Can't a person just think clearly and act sanely without belonging to sometlvng? I suppose so. No. I have simply discovered and proved to myself, that 1 have inside of me the machine that manulactures cm tent or discon tent. It is my mind. And 1 found out I can control it. I used to think it controlled me. 1 have one thing that distresses me; its that bad leg. So I turn my mind a wav from it as much as possible. Cut I have a hundred things about me that are pleasant. 1 have mv wife, I can sleep pretty well, my ‘apnitite is good, I can read, I can talk, my nurse is an agreeable person, I carl play chess On, there are a Jot of things. As a matter of fact, 1 have never been waited on and pampered be fore in my life, and I rather en jov it. Oh, I see, you’re one of those— There, there! For goodness don’t pigeonhole me. ^ FrOm COTl- gressman Brand July 16, 1916. Dear Mr, Editor:— Two important bulletins 01 the subject of canning and drying fruit have recently been issued by the Agriculnural Dedartmunt. I will be glad to furnish the same to anyone who may request there for. They are regarded by the Department and Congressman as valuable. One is identified as Btdliten No. 838, Home Canning bv the one Period Cold pack Method; and the other, Bulletin No. 841, dry- fruits and vegetables in tbn Where Old Glory Plows •V > / ■3;.». 4 — . >1 V Up and down in all the land and all the seas between; Brave and bold against the sky, and cle; r and fair and clean; Winding through the wilderness, or 0.1 the beaten track: Half the way around the world—and more than that,and back. Wnil her Old Glory go? But whither has it gone? Mark the way ot honor that it has net smildd upon. Snapping frem the the halyard blocks of argosy and fleet; Fluttering to fife and drum that time the marching feet; Beaten back the driven spray, and blazing o’es the sand— It has led a starry way —a wav through all the lands. Whither Old Glory go? But whither has it gone? Where the spot it has not held the glory of the dawn? Men have gone beneath it o’er the hills and o’er the waves; Men feel its caresses while they slumber in their graves, Red and white and blue it glows against the bending skv, Fringing everywhere it goes new iustreto the eye, Whither Old Glory go? But whither has it gone? Tell the miles it lias not traced—the wav it has not won! Does One Foot real- ly Walk Faster Which foot walks the faster? You may think this is a very silly question to ask, but it isn t. If you will take a pavement that is clear, and walk briskly m t; e centre, >ou will find, bifore you have gone 50 yards, that you have veered very much to one side, You must not make any ofeourse, to keep in the centre but if you will thir.k of something ami endeavor to walk naturally you will w t be able to keep a correct line. If vou loose your¬ self on an expanse of bleak rnoor- laund, and walk on, you will cle scribe a complete circle. The explnnition of this is said to lie in t,ne propensity of one loot to walk faster than the other or take a longer stride than the other, causing you to walk to walk to one side. To make assurance doubly sure trv placing two sticks about eight teetapait then stand off 00 feet blindfold yourself, and endeavor to walk between them. It isa.1- mos' impossible. —Atunta Journal d.J > Acres Land near Ashland Ga., on and near National High will cut into small teacis to suit the purchaser. Also Gm Plant near Hstdaud. Terms giv W.

H ' Jirand - What You Can Grow in a Garden Planted Now * It is not yet too late to grow a good supply of vegetables, even if you have not had a garden so far this year, Tnereis among amatuer garden ers and unwritten tradition ihat g rdens must he planted m the spring. As a matter of fact a complete garden may he planted successfully as late as the middle of.lulv. There are approximate¬ ly 100 days of growing weather after the date, while the majority of vegfables require less than 5*0 days to bo ready f .r use. It is a fact that nature does most of her seed sowing, not in the spring, bn* duting the summer and evrly fall. One of the chief reasons why summer planting is not carried on inoie extensively m that, in many sections ot the country, we usually have at that time a dry condition of the soil that delays or interferes with germination.

A drunken brute burst in; be seized the frighten flower maid— g p 0 ke insults word of sin. The stalwart man who loves iris flag, peace, strcck just one blow— and there was blood, a coward’s blood The friends of peace spoke low. “Take these, our Nation’s colors dear; forevet keep them pressed— in llahburtons book, perhaps; your court will do the rest; for there are certain cases when a man just can’t resist the voice in¬ side him, crying, “Strike!” “I’m off, dear to enlist!”— Robert Rus- sall.

'While all of the things mention ed above will have time to devel- ope to good table size, there are some which take lonper than others, and these should include heels, cartots, sweet corn, ruta b.agas, and eucumoers. With all of them it is essentail to use only the earliest varieties, as suggested above. Getting a strong start with late plantings. Success with these late p’anted vegetables, de¬ pends to a large extent on getting a strong germination and quick stark m growth. To make as sure as possible of this, there are three points to oe. kept m mind. Plant on a freshly prepared sur face. Firm the seed well m the sod. the latter is at all dry. Pro vide a fertilizer high in available nitrogen to assure a robust early growth. What you can plant now. The list of vegest ibles which can still be grown this year is big enough tc satisfy anv beginner. It in¬ cludes: Beans, beets, cabbage, Cauliflower, brussels sprouts. Kale celery, swifs chard, sweet corn endive, shot r<ibl, letsuce, peas, ruta Ingas, spinach, squash, and turnips of the above vegestables, cabbage, cauliflower, bi usseis sprout, Kale, and celery, may b > obtained locally in plants already started. If you can get the plants, there is still plenty of time for tomatoes.
