“Running an Account.
One of the greatest misfortunes
that can befall the average per
son is to have a ‘credit account’
with the merchant. It we were
lorced to pay cash (Or every thing
we bought we would do without
a great many things and be
much better off. It is very hard
to live within a fixed limit of ex.
penses it one can have things
“charged,” for in that case the
temptation to live more luxurious
ly than we ought is very great.
With most people the ‘‘pass
book” takes the place of the
bank book, and their “surplus”
is entered in the names of the
merchant ins.ead ot their own.
In case of misfortune, sickness,
or out of the ordinary expenses,
such people hardly know which
way to turn to meet their neces
sities, and the result, too often,
is that everything they have
must be sacrificed, or leave the
neighborhood, (and their reputa
tion for honest dealing as well,)
in order to start pinew where
they are not known. Many do
this. If the bread winner [should
happen to lose t his position the
family is plunged deeper in debt
or is forced to do without neces
sities, while the merchants are
not so anxious to “charge”
things as when the money com
ing in regularly, even though
the bills are not all paid prompt
ly.
It is a wise plan to save some
thing, even a dollar, each month
over and above expenses. When
one has established the habit of
saving that amount, depositing
it in some safe where the tempta
tion to spend cannot reach it,
the desire to make the saving a
little larger will set our wits to
work, and we will soon find that
there are at least a few leaks
that can be stopped. A dollar
saved is not much ; but it means
self respect and a sense of inde'
pendence, and if the dollar is on
our side of the account, we may
be sure the tradespeople will
respect us, too, to that extent.
An honest person will admire
you all the more if you keep
within your incoms, even though
the effects of your self denial
does “-how through” in places

The first Church, Carrollton.
Sunday,March 27, Missionary
Day, will stand out in the his
tory of the First church of Car
rollton and in the history of the
Carrollton Association as, per
haps, the greatest day in the
history of either up to this time.
Georgia Baptists know that
the First church of Carrollton
has rot been doing as great
things for Orphans’ .Home, ed

Missions, and Home and For.

The restorative power of sound
sleep can not be over estimated and
any ailment that prevents it is c
menace to health. J L Southers
Eau Claire, Wis., says: “For a long
time 1 have been unable to sleep
soundly nights, because of pains
across my back and soreness of my
kidneys. My appetite was very
poor and my general condition was
very, much run down. I have been
taking Foley’s Kidney Pills but
short time and now sleep, as sound
as a rock. I eat and enjoy my meals
and my general condition is greatly
improved. 1 can honestly recom

Georgia Baptists, take notice!
The contribution of our Sunday
school lor Home and Foreign
Missions on last Sunday morn
ing was sixty three dollars. At
the 11 o’clock service we raised
$378. These amounts, with con
tributions already reported, and
subsetiptions taken since Sun
day, bring the total ot the First
Church lor Home and Foreign
Missions this year up to $700.
This is more than any church in
Carroll county has ever given
to Home and Foreign Missions
in one year before. When we
come with support in this pro
portion lor the other four causes
tostered by the church, where
will we stand?
We .havo a beautiful brick
church, with Sunday-school
room so arranged that it can be
thrown into a larger auditorium.
The house, pews, and heating
appliances cost us more than
$22,000, and we do not owe a
cent. We have bought a $3,500
Estey organ with eight hundred
and seventy one pipes and
thirty two stops, which will be
set up in May . As soon as the
organ is in place our church
will be dedicated.
The attendance ot our Sunday
school has increa'ed within the
last few weeks from no to 208.
We have a very enthusiastic
teachers' meeting. Our pastor,
superintendent, nearly every
one ot our fourteen regular
teachers, and several ot our
supply teachers, attend. Twenty
two have enrolled with the Sun
day School Board at Nashville
and are taking the Normal
Course. We have ‘Baraca and
Philatpea classes, and nearly
one .hundred men and women
were in Sunday school last
Sunday morning.
Our prayer meetings on Wed'
nesday evenings are largely at
tended,and are proving ablessing
to those who come. The women
of our church are enthusiastic
iu all the services, and to them
belongs much of the credit for
our greater contribution to mis
sious.
When Rev. Jesse M. Dodd
came from Pelnam to be our
pastor on the first Sunday
last October, things were Dot so
flourishing. But it has been said
often and has not been disputed,
that Bro. Dodd is the right man
in the right place. Every ser
mon he has preached, every
talk he has made, has given the
information and the inspiration
of which we have been in need.
Bro. Dodd is a preacher of high
order. His classic education,
seminary training, and studious
habits make him an intellectual
leader. His faith, vision, spiritu
ality, and Christian tact make
him a lovable pastor.
The outlook fer Baptists in
Carrollton and Carroll countv
is encouraging. With able lead
ership and organization becom

Easy to Quit.
It’s easy enough to cut it out,
if you make up your mind,—
always providing that vou have
a {mind to make |up. People
have severed business and social
relations with John Barleycorn
lor curious reasons since boozi
lug became a popular indoor
sport. There are men who have
resisted all sorts of logic and
persuasions, and then cut it out
because of some apparently
trifling happening. In the Old
Home Town there was an elder
ly bachelor who took about
three fingers four or five times
a day. He had been doing that
for years, and he|seemed offendt
ed when nice old ladies handed
him tracts, or when the pastor
urged him to Brace Up and Be
a Man. There was a little boy
in the neighborhood to whom
the bachelor took a great fancy,
and he used to tell the lad won
derful stories. One day the
bachelor stepped out ot Charlie’s
Place, where he had been sip'
ping a pint or so of spavin cure,
and he was brushing the dew off
his whiskers when he found
the little bov facing him. The
hardened old bachelor was so
ashamed ot himself that he look
ed as though he had been steal
ing watermelons. The
ation of that kid meant a lot to
him, and he made up -his mind
that he would’nt fool it away.
That happened a couple of years
ago, and the bachdoi hasn^t
been in Charlie’s Place since,
and he is slill the hero ot the
boy. Such things don’t happen
every day, j outside ot story
books, but they happen often
enough to show that a grown
man can quit it he wants to.—

Surprising Facts About the
Patent Medicine Business.
‘The Fourth Estate” has
been warning publishers about
the risk in allowing credit to
new medicine concerns. It is
said that there have been only
one or two thousands of new
propritary medicine houses have
made any considerable money
that have started the past twenty!
years and only a few more that
have met with even moderate
success. It is the general im
pression that the business is im
mensely profitable while the
facts are that there is a larger
percentage of failures than in
any other line. The new con
cerns usually start with lots ot
confidence in the merit of their
goods and advertising but soon
exhaust their capital leaving
dealers who have stocked their
medicines with unsalable goods
on their shelves. It is the ex
perience ot many publishers
that have accepted this new
business that they have been
compelled to charge oft their
bills the profit and the loss.
There arc many ot old and
reliable medicine houses that
continue to do a good or increas
ing business from year to year
but the new ones are finding it

TESTING
Is not a matter of guess work, nor is it a
matter of trying on pairs of ready-made
