PASTORATE in mil
After Serving Presbyterian Church
for Twelve Years Popular Pastor
NN ill Go to Shelby, N. C.
Rev. W. A. Murray has accepted a
call to the pastorate of the Presby
terian church in Shelby, N. C., and
will leave on the first of November’
to assume his new duties. His fam
ily will remain here a short while long
er before leaving for their new home.
Mr. Murray has been pastor of the
First Presbyterian church in Griffin
for the past twelve years, being the
dean of the pastors in this city. He
is an able preacher and popular pas
tor. Since coming here he has endear
ed himself to the citizens generally,
all of whom will regret his departure.
The call to the pastorate at Shelby
was extended some days ago and Mr.
Murray announced his decision to ac
cept it at the prayer services at his
church Wednesday night. The resig
nation was accepted with a great deal
of reluctance, since Mr. Murray has
done splendid work in Griffin and will
bi greatly missed.
VETERIsILUfIS
STATE REUNION IN BODY
Ranks of Soldiers Are Thinning But
Eyes of Few Left Sparkle
With Old Time Patriotism.
The Spalding County Camp of Con
federate Veterans at their meeting
here Wednesday voted to go in a body
to the State reunion in Atlanta, leav
ing Griffin on the 3 p. m. train Wed
nesday, October 16th.
The veterans had a good social :
meeting and decided to continue the
monthly meetings on the first Wed
nesday in each month.
Owing to tin heavy death role in
their ranks the number of old soldiers
is now few, but that few look young
when their eyes sparkle with the old !
time patriotism and they wish they
were young enough to be helping our,
boys in France.

E'JEEE SWEAT
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is Quicksilver And Acts Like
Dynamite On Your
Liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel is. It’s mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. It
crashes into sour bile lye dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calo
mel attacks the bones and should nev
er be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggisn,
constipated and al! knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for 50 cents a large
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
in side, and can not salivate.
Don’t take calomel! Tt makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day’s
work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straight
ens you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.
ICHAS. N. BOND LEAVES
GRIFFIN BO \RD OF TRADE
Mr. Chas. N. Bond, who has been
assisting the secretary of the Board
(of Trade since the first of August,
(leaves Sunday for his new home at
• Thomson, Ga. Mr. Bond came to the
[Board of Trade at Griffin from Ver-
Imont, his original intention being to
!study cotton culture in this section of
I Georgia, but failed to find a position.
IHe did secure what he was looking f , T ’
■at Thomson and was therefore com
pellled to L ave the location of his se
lection. Mr. Bond is very much pleas
led with Griffin and Spalding county,
and he has made a number of friends
[here, all of whom wish him success in
I his new undertaking.
BOOSTERS BOOST CITY

I
Good Turn Out Thursday and Plentj
of “Pep,' But Many Leading Mi n
"Reneged' at the Last Moment.
The mayor of Griffin and the Presi
dent of the Fair Association headed
the usual booster trip yesterday :<> the
counties and towns southeast of Grif
fin. There was a good turnout and ,
plenty of “pep,” but many of the
leading men "reneged” when it came
to start.
Although many of them were rep
resented by good men, not a commis
sioner of the Board of Trade showed
up. A. P. Patterson was the only of
ficial of the Fair Asssociation and
Mayor Hammond was the only city
official. Thq county officials were
not represented and neither were the
new city officials except by proxy.
•‘There is a reason" for this lack of
interest in these advertising trips
this year, but the management has
been unable to discover just what it is.
Next Thur-lay the Fair Associa
tion will start its last “booster trip"
for the year and it is especially de- 1
sired that everybody that is interest
ed in the success of the fair get readv '
and go on this trip. This is Griffin’s
business, not everybody’s business,
and the next booster trip will be the
last chance you will have this year to j
show just how much you love tie. old
town. Get busy!
