GRIFFIN GIVES A WELCOME
* TO NEW METHODIST PASTOR
After Hearing an Eloquent and Effective Sermon
» From Him on Sunday Night,
Bev. J. S. Jenkins preached hist
farewell sermot at the First Metho
dist church Sunday morning to a
large congregation and Dr. C. O.
Jones preached his introductory ser
mon Sunday night to a still larger
congregation, the other churches
calling in their night services and it
y being a union service to give wel
come to the new pastor.
That Mr. Jenkins severed the rela
tions that had existed for three years
. between hitnself and his flock with
great regret was shown by the sac
that in the prayer previous to his
sermon he broke down and wept,
. being obliged to stop long enough to
dry the tears of grief from his eyes,
and several in the congregation also
shed tears. In the sermon Mr. Jen
kins referred to the work of the re
centconference and prepared the way
for the incoming pastor.
At the evening service Presiding
Elder J. H. Eakes introduced Dr.
Jones to his congregation in a few’
well chosen and appropriate remarks
in which he said he was a genial, cul
tured, Christian gentleman, who had
come here to do good.
Dr. Jones nad a few verses from
the 10th chapter of Mathew and
preached on the “Special Providence
of God.” His sermon was one of the
most scholarly and eloquent discour
ses ever heard in Griffin and the
speaker made a most favorable im
pression on his hearers. He is one of
the most learned and gifted preach*
k ers in the North Georgia conference,
an eloquent speaker and a popular
pastor, and Griffin is to be congrat
ulated on securing him as a citizen.
Dr. It. R. Acree, of the First Bap
tist church, being absent at Madi
son, and Rev. D. F. Hoke, rector of
St. George’s church, also not present,
Dr. W. A. Murray, pastor "f the
First Presbyterian church, on behalf
of the other denominations ot the
city, extended to Dr. Jones a cordial
and hearty welcome, to which Dr.
Jones responded in a feeling and ap
preciative manner.
' Mr. Jenkins also added a few re
marks in which he told of his high
personal esteem for Dr. Jones, and
commended him to the congregation
and the people of Griffin.
Dr. Jones is quite an acquisition to
Giiffin and the welcome that he re
ceived as the pastor of the First
Methodist church was one that was
genuine and real. He enters upon
his work here with the best wishes
of the entire citizenry ot Griffin.

On Vacations.
It Is related In Stewart Edward
White’s book, “The Mountains,” that
once upon a time a man happened to
be staying in a hotel room which had
originally been part of a suit, but
which was then cut off from the oth
ers by only ft thin door, through which
sounds carried clearly.
It was about 11 o'clock when the
occupants of that next room came
home. The man heard the door open
and close. Then the bed shrieked aloud
as somebody fell heavily upon it.
There breathed across the silPnce a
profoundly deep sigh.
“Mary.” said a man's voice, “I'm
mighty sorry I didn’t join that Asso
ciation For. Artificial Vacations. They
undertake to get you just as tired and
just as mad in twoulays as you could
by yourself in two weeks.”—Youth’s
Companion.

93 KENTUCKY COUNTIES
NOW TOTALLY “DRY”
21 Are Partially “Dry’’-and 4 Are En- '
tirely “Wet.”
Louisville, Ky., Dec. I.—Ninety
three of
now totally “dry,” twenty-one are
partially dry and four are wholly
“wet,” and the ease of one county,
which recently voted as a unit on
prohibition, is being settled by legal
process in court. This is the sub
stance of a statement secured by a
local newspaper from the Kentucky
anti-saloon league.
During the past year the fight has
been quietly but vigorously waged,
and over twenty counties have
gone over to the cause of prohibition.
The four counties which are entirely
wet are Jefferson, (Louisville), Ken
ton, Campbell and Nelson. The lo
cal option election recently held in
Scott is being contested in court.
The anti-saloon league leaders are
claiming that already Kentucky, the
home of the distillery, drinks less
whisky than three-fourths of the
States in the union.
WHY SUFFER
Breathe Hyomei and Kill the loath
some Catarrh Germs.
Just as long as you have catarrh your
nose will itch, your breath will be
foul, you will hawk and spit, and you
will do other disgusting things because
you can’t help yourself. The germs cf
catarrh have got you in their power;
they are continually and persistently
digging into and irritating the mucous
membrane of your nose and throat.
They are now making your life miser
able: in time they will sap your entire
system of its energy, its strength, its
vigor and vitality.
But there is one remedy that will
kill the germs and cure catarrh, and
that is Hyomei, the Australian dry
air treatment.
Brooks Drug Store will guarantee
Hyomei to cure catarrh, or money
back. Don't delay this pleasant anti
septic treatment. Breathe in Hyomei
and kill the germs.
Brooks Drug Store will sell you a
complete Hyomei outfit, including in
haler, for only SI.OO. It is also guar
anteed to cute bronchitis, asthma,
coughs, colds, hay fever and croup.
