German Officer
Returns Death
For Hospitality
After Living With Family for
Months, Officer Had Home De
stroyed When the Germans Re
treated—Inmates Killed.
With the Canadian Forces in
France, October 20, —(By the
Canadian Press.)—Although Le
Cateau was not systematically
destroyed by the Germans, there
were idividual acts of vandalism
both there and in "adjoining vil
lages. Perhaps the whole war
has not produced another act so
vile as that which is vouched for
by French official investigators.
In Montigny, due west of Le Ca
teau, a German officer lived
eighteen months with a French
family. He was a pleasant fel
low, taking his meals with the
family and frequently perform
ing on the piano for them.
One evening he failed to re
turn for dinner, and members of
the family waited in vain for
him, and at midnight retired to
bed. At 3 o’clock in the morr.-
irtg the house was olown up by a
mine. Every one of this family
-were killed with the exoection of
an eight-months-old child. The
family consisted, of several old
people and women and children.

A Busy Georgia Pastor
Rev. W. H. Faust, pastor of
the First Baptist church here,
is one of the busiest pastors in
this or any other state. No
grass grow under his feet, and
all the churches of which he is
pastor are stead ily growing num
erically as well as financially and
spiritually.
In addition to his full time
work at Winder he preaches one
Saturday and Sunday afternoon
each month at Cedar Creek and
Bethabara churches, both good
strong rural churches with pro
gressive memberships.'
Few men in the state are
physically strong enough to at
tempt fourteen solid weeks of
meetings in one summer. Preach
ing two or three times a day is
no child’s play and .yet Mr.
Faust has seemingly grown
stronger and says he never en
joyed'better health.
He is a sane evangelist and
his success proves that the con
fidence. He is in great demand
as a Sunday school speaker for
county associotions, conventions
and has a number of engage
ments at such meetings to yet
fill. He is also doing a great
work in the special government
drives.—The Barrow Times.
Frank Bleckley, the youngest
son 6f Mr.and Mrs.J. E. Bleckley,
left Tuesday of last week for
Coatesville, Pa,, where he has
a position. Frank is hardly sixte- n
years old, but i$ an industrious
hard working boy and saves his
money. He worked here at the
last year. Re will be with
>n in Coastesville
to see\ him back
i someday, a fine phys-
tm with good habits
Funerals at Mountain
City and Dillard
Monday was a busy and sad
day for Brother Watkins and my
self. Brother Watkins stopped
at J. N. Fisher's'to hold a service
in the home for the family as
there were several others sick
and not able to go to the church
The writer went on to Dillard to
hold services for a young man,
Mr. Lawreace Watts. He was
only sick for a few days, He
was not a member of any church
nor had not made a public con
fession of faith in Jesus our Lord,
but his family thinks he did be
fore his death.
The writer then joined Brother
Watkins at the Methodist church
near Dillard to hold the funeral
service for sister Fisher. She
was a member of the Baptist
church of Dillard. I was told
that she was regenerated when
about ten years old and joined
the church when sixteen years
of age. Sjster Fisher leaves a
husband and several! children,
three boys in the service of their
fomtry. Oh, h>w sad, that while
the boys are facing death, that
they have no mother to pray for
them.. May we all remember
them at a throne of grace in the
sbser.ee of their dear mother.
We then came to Mountain
City to the funeral of sister Wes^
ley Hilnnicutt and infant. This
was another sad death. She
leaves a husband and several
children to mourn her loss. This
is one of the mysteries of the
of Providerce in taking a loving
mother from little dependent
children, but we must, after all,
say, ‘'God’s will be done for He
doeth all thing well,
May God bless the bereaved
families, is the prayer of the
writer.

NEWSPAPERS AND THEIR
DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS
Newspaper publishers dislike
to keep punching up their sub
scribers. But other agencies
that depend upon collecting a lot
of small bills, like electric light
and telephone and water compa
nies, find it absolutely necessary
to have these payments made
regularly. If you don’t pay ev
ery 30 days, many of these com
panies will discontinue their ser
vices and put you to great incon
venience. The newspaper is one
of the most important agencies
working for civic progress. -It
carries a heavy load of effort,
and it ought not to be bothered
with the cost and annoyance of
collecting a lot of neglected bills.
So if pepple could regard the bill
that comes onlv once a year for
the annual subscription, as some
thing having real importance
which should be attended to as
would a telephone bill, it would
promote the usefulness of the
newspaper and help it serve the
public better.—Messenger, Mar
shall, Minn.

A Revival Meeting
At New Tiger
Baptist Churti
A revi/al meeting will begin
at Tiger Baptist church Tues
day, October 29th. Rev. W. j,.
Head, of the state Mission Board,
will do the preaching. It to not
necessary for me to say anything
in regard to Bro. Head’s qualifi
cation as a preacher and evangel
ist. Tne most of the people of
the county heard Bro. Head
while he was at, Clayfbn last
spring. All of those who have
heard him are anxious tu hear
hir^ again, and those who have
not heard him cannot afford to
miss hearing him.
We earnestly ask the prayers
of the praying people of the
county to pray that we may have
a glorious revival at Tiger. That
it may result in nothing less than
the salvation of the lost of the
community, and the church may
be greatly helped in a general
way by having the service of
this noble man of God.
Everybody is cordially invited
to attend these services.
A ustm Crunkleton, Pastor.

Mr Jesse Hunter, from the>
Rabun Gap Industrial School, vis
ited home folks Saturday night.
On account of the inflenza be
ing in this community the meet

The infant son of Mr. and
Mrs. P. A. Hunter has been very
ill with influenza, but with the
close attention of the parents and
the good assistance of Dr. J. C.
Dover he is getting some better
now.
Drs. J. C. Dover and J. A.

this community.
Our 3chool has been discontin-

Mr. T. E. King passed through
here Saturday.
We are glad to see Mr. Jeff

confined to his ro:>m several days.
We were made glad when we
opened our mail box last Satur

Tribune, which has been a wel
come visitor with us all its hfe,
but had failed to reach us the
last two issues.
