SCARCITY OK WHITE PAPER
MANIFESTS ITSELF IN ATLANTA
ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 21.—In most
of the restaurants of Atlanta one finds
a plain sheet of typewriter paper in
place of the more or less elaborate
menu cards of former days before
white paper became so scarce.
High cost of paper has become an
item of importance in the conduct of
every business, and a most serious
item Jn the newspaper business, and
the hotels and restaurants are feeling
it, along with others.
One must now be a bona fide guest
use the stationery of an Atlanta
hotel, and must get it from the clerk.
On Friday, Oct. 13, 1916, after two
weeks of extreme illness little J. W.,
infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Martin,
passed peacefully away. For nearly
six months he was sent as a heavenly
blessing to their home, and when the
Christ who said "Suffer little children
to come unto me,” sent His death angel
for his precious soul, this home w'as
devastated by the storm of sorroy that
can only be changed into joy by the
grace of the Lord. His little feet were
unfit for the rough path, and whatever
pain earth might have held, but now
all is well, for he is in the loving care
of the Good Shepherd. We have seen
a beautiful flower fade and then shat
ter leaving behind its fragrance and
memory of its beauty: such was the go-
W.—he slowly
known j ,aded ivwa y» l *‘en vanished, though all
Icving and tender care and the best
medical skill were exercised to save
him. God gave and God took him to
heaven, where he has gone to earn the
tong and service of the white-robed
angel throng and prepare a sweeter
welcome for mamma, papa and loved
ones, all as they, like him, must cross
over the river.
Beautiful and impressive words were
spoken by Rev. Bivins, and loving
hands tenderly laid him to rest In the
city of the dead at Hebron church,
Two little eyes are closed in death,
Two little hands are folded under
the sod;
One little heart has ceased to beat,
One little soul is with God.
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Oct/ 23—The
entire bench of the Supreme court of
Alabama is in favor of the League
Enforce Peace, of which ex-P^esident
Taft is head, all of the judges having
become members of the league, accord
ing to an announcement made here by
its secretar, John Tilley. Mr. Tilley
is conducting a campaign for member
ship throughout the state. A number
of editors have joined the league.
The League to Enforce Peace is be
ing organized in all the states to pro
mote the idea of a league of the great
powders, who, with a view to avoiding
fture wars shall agree to an enforced
submission of all international dis
putes to a regularly constituted in
ternational high court of justice, or to
an international council of concilia
tion. The League’s program, however,
c.oes not provide for an enforcement
of the court’s decrees. Nations are tc
be left free to fight out their disputes
flnall, after arbitration has been tried.
