■J ture here just reminds me
of the Cattle Business, of which
1 am still in, in a small way.
Stock on the Exchange in
Wall Street was never higher,
Stock on a Ranch was never
lower.
If a cattleman sold a Steer
and they would let him weigh
all the mortgages that was on
the Steer with him, he would
weigh 50 pounds heavier.
One Tenderloin Steak at a
Hotel brings more than a
Steer.
A quart of milk brings more
than tne Cow.
A Texas Long Horn brings
S2O and one pair of Horn
rimmed glasses $25.
A Calf sells for $lO and its
brains sell for S2O.
The hide of a Cow brings $1
and one pair of shoes $lB.
Two sacks of ‘Bull’ Durham
is worth more than the Bull.
The only way to be in the
Cattle business is with a picture
of one.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
From nearly every source comes
encouraging predictions as to the re
turn of prosperity and increased de
velopment the south. There is no
doubt that Georgia and the south
have made substantial progress dur
ing the past twelve to twenty-four
months. Conditions are now un
questionably bc*tter than they have
been since they struck bottom im
mediately following the close of the
World War. Mr. Roger Babson,
America’s noted statistician, and
numerous other authorities are now
freely and enthusiastically predict
ing a marvelous development
throughout the southern states dur
ing the next five years and they seem
to have the facts to justify .them.
This, of course, includes Georgia,
and coming closer home it includes
Lamar county. These things ought
to encourage every citizen of our
county and of our state to make a
new resolution that we will stick to
the task of bringing back to our
county and our state the prosperity
to which our climate, soil and other
advantages entitle us. Many of us
may find ourselves now in rather
hard and unsatisfactory circum
stances hut since we have fought our
way this far and when victory ap
pears to be in sight, “just around
the corner,” we ought to be spurred
on with hope and the purpose to fin
ish the task and win the victory.
We can do it and we ought to do it
and in all probability this is the very
year which will enable us to do it.
Our farmers, through whom prosperi
ty to our county in a general way
must come, have been provided with
a market nQt only for cotton, our
best money crop, but with peppers
and sweet potatoes, in addition to the
other products which are usually
grown. With these three special
money crops we have at least three
chances for a successful year and as
a matter of fact and encouragement
all three of these may yield profit
able returns, which will be all ithe
better, and if such should be the
outcome just this year will put
everybody "on their feet" and make
us all glad and happy. Why should
it not come this year? It will large
ly depend upon our own efforts and
the management with which we per
form our tasks. Let’s not fail to do
our utmost to bring to pass the
things which we so much need in
every community in Lamar county.
“The way of the transgressor is
hard," which means that no man can
violate law and not sooner or later
pay the penalty, whether it be physi
cal and statute law. Our courts and
officers and good citizens, however
much they may reverence and re
spect law and want to see it en
forced, can not always have it en
forced or see its violators punished,
but God has so ordained it that the
deliberate and wilful violations of
righteous laws will be punished in
some way at some time. It is the
law of His universe and no man is
able to escape it. “Be sure your
sin will find you out” and you will
pay the penalty.

The automobile could be a vehicle
of good and usefulness only, if right
ly used, but it has unquestionably
become one of the greatest evils of
our day, economically and morally.
It withdraws millions of dollars from
other channels where money for the
good of the people and the country
are most needed, it aids in various
kinds of crimes, it is largely used in
destroying the morals of the people
and in the breaking down of indus
try and its toll of life itself is fear
ful and alarming. It has made peo
ple thoughtless and reckless and in
different to the interests of others.
It is not unusual now for a car to
run over and kill a person without
ever stopping to find out what the
results of the accident may be. And
there appears to be no way to remedy
the present evil in the driving and
use of automobiles. Our courts and
officers of the law must deal with
drivel's and owners of cars as they
do with all other infractions of the
law.

MISS FELLOW MEMBK
Resolutions adopted by the Men’s
Bible class of the Bamesville Metho
dist church touching the death of
Rev. W. P. Miller:
The death of our friend and broth
er, Rev. W. P. Miller, not only brings
sore bereavement to his family and
loved ones and deep sorrow to our
community and church, but a dis
tinct sense of impairment -and loss
to every organization with which he
was associated. With our Methodist
Men’s Bible class, of which he was a
loyal and faithful member, this is
especially true.
His absence from our ranks means
far more than the erasure of a name
from our roll and a vacant chair in
our midst. His earnestness and sin
cerity, his faith and zeal, his spirit
uality and reverence invested his
presence and personality with an at
mosphere of peculiar charm to those
who possessed appreciation of these
supreme values. In his clean heart
and noble character he made a real
contribution to the forces of right
eousness in our world, and with glad
heart he gave grateful praise to Him
whose cross and whose grace were
his strength and his boast.
As we thus pay to Brother Miller
this tribute of our admiration and
record this declaration of our love
and esteem, we commend his sorrow
ing loved ones to Him who was our
dear brother’s unfailing stay, and we
point them and all about us to the
comfort that is ours in the heritage
of his exemplary life, crowned with
a testimony of victory and joy.

Sunday School

The Sunday School in one sense

you working at the job or are you
jup* a member of the church? Our
school in every department is grow-
ing. The Young Ladies’ class haa
increased 100 per cent within the
past month. A young men’s class is
in process of organization. MEN AT
TENTION! We need to make the
Men’s Bible class 100 strong. We
can do it if you will only help. We
hope to have Col. Dobbs speak to the
class next Sunday. Come and bring
your friends.

Preaching Service*
Last Sunday was a great day with
us, not only in numbers, but also in
spirit manifested by those that were
present. God was gracious to us,
and His spirit was present with us.
You missed a blessing if you were
not there. Next Sunday's services:
11:00 A. M.—Subject, “The Christ
We Need In the Mill.” i
7:00 P. M.—Subject, “The Price-'
less Picture.”
“You are always welcome at the i
Tabernacle.”

First Methodist
Marvin A. Franklin, Pastor.
The Sunday evening services are
attracting unusually large congrega
tions. Next Sunday at 7 P. M. the
service will have a special appeal for
those who have loved ones on the
“other side.” The illuminated Cross
will again be used with appropriate
reading by a young lady, and a love
ly solo entitled, “Some Sweet Day,”
will be sung by special request in
memory of those who have passed
into the beyond. “Heaven” will be
the subject of the evening sermon.
There is hardly a one of us who has
not some loved one or friend who
has gone away and all such are given
a special invitation to be present.
At the morning hour the pastor
will preach on “The Helping Hand,”
a short sermon, followed by the
Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper.
The Sunday school will meet at 9:30.
For cause the every member can
vass was postponed until next Sun
day afternoon. We earnestly desire
that we secure the entire amount of
the assessments for the benevolences
on Sunday evening with just as much
as possible in cash. The canvass will
open at 2 p. m. and will be concluded
largely in about two hours. So
please remain at home until the com
mittee calls upon you. Greet them
with a smile and a generous response
when they come. Let’s put this cam
paign over BIG.
What is generally conceded to have
been one of the best meetings of its
sort in the history of Barnesville was
the Methodist Men’s Supper at the
A. & M. School last Friday evening.
A large delegation of ladies had pre
pared a sumptuous meal and made
all of the arrangements. The ban
quet room was “a thing of beauty
and a joy forever.” We cannot ade
quately express our appreciation of
the work of our splendid ladies.
After the dinner, a program covering
more than an hour was put on and
there was not a dull period in it.
Many enthusiastic and helpful
speeches were made and it seemed
that the entire atmosphere was
charged with the spirit of good fel
lowship, earnestness and consecrated
zeal. The results of this meeting
will abide for good. There were
more than forty men present.
Last Sunday was a good day with
us. Notwithstanding much illness
among our people, many being out
of town, and other hindering causes,
we again registered 225 at Sunday
school. We ought to have at least
250 present next Sunday morning.
At the morning hour a congregation
which almost completely filled the
auditorium was present for worship
and a helpful spirit was in evidence
throughout the service. At the
evening service the largest regular
congregation of the year was pres
ent. We had “No Man’s Land” oc
cupied with many in the chairs in the
aisles and some in the gallery. Af
ter seeing and hearing “The Cost of
Freedom” we all should appreciate
more than ever our great privileges.
We are enjoying the presence of
many visitors at all of our regular
services.
The Intermediate League was re
opened Sunday night with flattering
prospects. The Senior League also
had a good meeting
The church believes in a perfectly
developed personality. Therefore, it
believes in a physical body which is
well developed, strong and clean; a
mental life which is wholesome and
a social program devoid with all
which hurts, but filled with that
which is good and helpful. But the
crowning glory of the work of the
church is its ministry to the spiritual
in man. Any person who is slight
ing any feature of his development
is to that extent abnormal. Our
churches offer you their best. With
the coming of Spring may we not
expect a great revival in every phase
of our work?
First Baptist
Arthur Jackson. Pastor.
THE MASTER IS CALLING YOU!
This will be the subject of the ser
mon next Sunday morning. The pas
tor shall undertake to make this call
understood to every one. Surely, no
one would be willing to miss a call
from the Master. Nor would any
one like to be found out of his place
when the Master comes. What would
you do should Jesus come to church
next Sunday morning? Let every
one ponder this question.
Sunday night the pastor will preach
from the subject, “The Anchor of
Hope.” This is a message for every
one. And it is one that is needed
in our daily lives. It is also an
evangelistic message. Come and
help us to make these Sunday night
services great.
All services were well attended
last Sunday. There were 247 in
Sunday school and the morning wor
ship was well attended. Then we
had a splendid congregation in the
evening. We are very much grati
fied with our attendance. And we
want you to come and give your co-
