IOOKING at this Bull’s pic ■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. P. 8.

HARDY, Editor Subscription, |1.50 Year BARNESVILLE. GA FEBRUARY 26, 1925. 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. —o 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. ¥. P. B. MEETS The Y. P.

J-o 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.

Boost your church and your prayer meeting and then others that have not been coming will come with you. “DON’T FORGET TO PRAY.” 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.” ~ -o— ... ■ 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.
