Second Time Church at Jonesboro Has Enjoyed This
Privilege, and a Profitable Time is Expected.
The Atlanta Pre.-bytery is fouling its
next regular session at Jonesboro April
13, 14 and 15th.
The presbytery includes the churches
and ministers of twenty-two counties
in Middle Georgia, from Buford on the
northeast to LaGrange on she south
west, and from Tallapoosa on the north
west to Forsyth on the southeast.
There are sixty-five churches and about
forty ministers. Every minister is ex
pected to be present, and every church
is entitled to send one ruling elder as its
representative. There are two regular
meetings annually, in April and Octo
ber ; also usually several special called
meetings during the year. The spring
meeting is considered the more import
ant because the jeports from the
churches are sent in, and there is more
business to be transacted.
Several thousand Presbyterians and
their numerous friends are greatly in
terested in the approaching meeting
and the Jone boro church will feel her.

very godly man and excellent minister,
will do the preaching. Altogether an
interesting and profitable time is ex

There are only three Presbyterian
churches in Clayton county,' Philadel

one minister has charge of the entire
W"rk. The presbytery has met with
both Philadelphia and Riverdale dur

HEALTH
l
is the
Most Important -
In buying food-products, several things
are to be thought of —i. e., Economy,
Results, Easy Handling, Reliability, but
the most important is Health.
Health means everything. In*buying *
clothes, shoes, hats, furniture, etc., if the ;
buyer is deceived and gets an imitation
the only harm is loss of money. In buy
ing food-products, if imitations are sup-
Elied, there is not only a loss of money,
ut perhaps an injury to health —which
is beyond price.
