Plains to Welcome
Pastor Wednesday
PLAINS, April 15—The Baptist peo-'
pie in Plains are expecting their new i
pastor, Rev. L. B. Johnson to arrive
Wednesday. Committees have been
appointed to meet the train and to ex
tend a cordial welcome to the family.
There will also be a “pantry party” i
given by the ladies, the men of the
church providing the heavy groceries.
The recent occupants of the pastor
ium have vacated and it is in readiness
tor the newcomers.
Rev. Mr. Johnson comes to this !
church from Hiawassee, Ga., where he I
has, for some time past, been princi- I
pal of the Hiawassee High school, a
school fostered by the Baptist denom-.
ination for mountain boys and girls;
especially. Mr. Johnson was graduat-'
ed several years ago from Mercer 1
University and later spent one year at :
the Baptist Theological Seminary, at I
Louisville, Ky. He spent four years j
in Rochester, N. Y., graduating from
the theological seminary there. Since ■
then he has been actively engaged
in teaching and preaching. Now,
however, he is to give his entire time
to the ministry. He will preach on
the second and fourth Sundays in
Plains, and will also serve the Ella
ville church.
The Baptists in Plains have been
without a pastor since July 19 H.
Mr. Johnson’s family consists of a
wife and two small children. Having
relatives in the community they will
spend a few days visiting before ihc.'i
■occupy their new home.

Maxwell cars are built on the original chassis plan laid down 5
years ago. 300,000 have been built to date. Doing one thing always J

All “temperament” is taken out of the car by the engineering de

“uneven disposition”. Economy No. 5.
There are 25 others. These fortify you against after

BARBARA WELCOMES NEIL
MORE EAGERLY THAN
EVER BEFORE.
CHAPTER LXV.
As I leaned Lack in the car. iny
cheeks burning, afirly trembling
with indignation, and the temirity of
my last sentence to Blanche Orton, I
wished with all my heart that Neil
yere at home. He should not visit
Blanche any more. How careless I
had been not to realize the lengths
to which his anxiety for big business
would take him. She had said she
was willing to ‘crucify’ herself to
help my husband. What did she
mean? Was she so in love with
him?—someway 1 didn’t quite be
lieve that, and I was not at all ready
to believe that Neil cared for her in
away to wrong me. No —it was all
a part of this business tangle, and
—secrecy.
Had I struck the right reason for
her complaisance when I said that
she of course reaped no benefits from
having those vulgar men at her table.
It was common talk that Mr. Orton
had left very little, was she being
paid to entertain Neil and his
friends ?
The longer 1 thought of this the
more positive was I that I had hit
upon the correct solution. It was
for money that she was crucifying
hereslf —not sot Neil.
I had no sooner arrived at this
decision than I was happier. If she
were being paid like any hotel or
club for entertaining a lot of coarse
men who were necesary to Neil be
cause they were wealthy and could
advance his interests, it put a dif
ferent phase upon the matter' altoge
ther. I couldn't help but despise her
for being willing to lend herself to
any such schemes, but I knew she
was luxurious. And if she needed
money- well, people would do a lot
when they wanted money that they
, wouldn't think of doing without that
need.
It was not a nice construction to
; put upon an action, but in away it
j made me less uneasy about Neil’s in-
I timacy with her. If it was, as I now
I tried to make myself think, a purely
I business arrangement, I had no rea
! son to be personally jealous of them.
'No cause to fear the fascinating
I charming, how enticing she was in
; her daring negligee, I wondered that
Neil, or any man, could withstand
her seductiveness.
“His love for me and baby keeps
him from doing anything to hurt us,”
I said aloud and hugged the thought.
’ When I reached home there was a
message from Neil:
I “Home tomorrow night, love,
1 Neil.”
I How that one word 'love’ soothed
and comforted me. And I would put
I all thoughts of his business from
my mind until he could return and
refute what I had been told, what I
had heard. It might make Neil feel
badly, even might anger him, but I
had determined t otell him all I had
heard while he was away, both from
Lorraine, and what I had chanced
upon at the decorators. How could he
satisfy me they were wrong if he did
not know what they said?
But I did not decide to tell him
of my call on Blanche Orton. That I
would think about. Perhaps when
I explained that his methods of busi
ness were causing talk, that Lor
raine had spoken bf making Mrs. Or
ton’s home a redezvous, he would
decide to discontinue going there
Anyway I would wait and see.
I recalled what Blanche Orton had
said about knowing some delightful
fellows who would be an addition to
any affair I might contemplate giv
ing. She had spoken truthfully I
knew. Her acquaintance among men
was large, and she really knew many I
whose social position made them at-
AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER
tractive as guests.
I had been so blindly happy of late.
My beautiful home. Neil’s generosity
in furnishing it. my delight in my
darling boy. all had tended to a quiet
belief in the lasting quality of that
happiness. I hated to be so distrub
ed; to have my tranquility so brok
en. So I waited with more than my
usual eagerness for Neil.
“Oh, I am so glad to see you!” I
exclaimed as I threw my arms
around his neck. “I thought you
never would come.”
“Why so much more eager than
usual?” he asked as he kissed me.
“Oh, there is so much I want to
know, to ask you about—your busi
ness. I went down to the office but
your private office was ‘locked. I
wanted to see if I couldn’t find out
something so I could show people
who are saying nasty things that
they are wrong. And”—
“People saying things—you went
to my office, intending to examine
my papers in my absence?” startled
unbelief and rising anger in his
tones. •
“Yes—they are saying you aren’t
quite—fair in business. And I want-j
ed to prove you are, and’—
“D them, and I tell you once I
for all never to dare touch my pap-1
ers!” he was livid he Was so angry.'
And we had the worst quarrel we'
ever had before I could pacify him i
as to the innocence of my intent. He ‘
wouldn’t come to bed, but remained '
in the library all night. It was ter- ,
rible for me, I had so longed to have ■
him home. |
Catarrhal Dearness Cannot Be Cured
Dy local applications, as they Cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness*
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to it* normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafaeas are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blcod on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We wHI give One Hundred Dollars for
