.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa
Nothing New But
Pleasure in All.
Every minister who rises on
[Sunday morning has to talk of
things that are as old as the world
and will last to eternity. Yet, if
the minister knows his business,
he will hold his congregation
spellbound and get a grip on their
hearts and lives.
There is nothing new about
; water, but it is always refreshing
to the thirsty; nothing new about
! food, but we always welcome it
; when we are hungry.
The grass is as old as the hills,
but we are delighted to see it
when it comes again in the
spring. Seed time and harvest
are not new, but they refresh us
with tidings of comfort and joy.
: The rainbow is as old as time,
yet we always look upon it with
delight. The beauty and fra
grance of the flowers are not new,
but always fascinate us. Youth
and follv have always been with
us, but we delight in both and
even age relishes a little nonsense
, now and then.
The schools have just resumed
their work and after their long
vacation, both teachers and chil
dren are refreshed and ready for
i new effort. It is a good time to
'establish good habits in the
young. They are the hope of
the country and the better the
habits the brighter the prospect.
Education consists of something
more than giving a child informa
tion and training his mind. If
he is to be a useful citizen, self
sustaining and progressive and
not a burden to others, it is
necessary to get him in the habit
!of industry and good manage
ment of whatever may be com
| mitted to his care.
This is what we call thrift and
i goes a long way to make people
i happy and useful. This habit
i may be established by encourag-
I ing the children to earn money
'and buy Thrift and Savings
Stamps. The teachers will do
their part if the parents will back
them up.

MONTGOMERY MONITOR- -THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER *3, 1920.
Married in Mt. Vernon
Early Monday Morning.
An early morning marriage ot
interest to many friends in this
section of the state was that of
Miss Susan U. Daniel of this
place and Mr. Cecil G. McCall of
Savannah, which was solemnized
at the home of the bride Monday
last.
The ceremony was performed
by Rev. A. G. Brewton, pastor
of the Mt. Vernon Methodist
church, and witnessed by mem
bers of the family and a few in
timate friends. Among those
present were Miss Annie Daniel
and Little Miss Evelyn Daniel,
Miss May Hearn of Bellville; Mr.
Tom Daniel of Savannah and Mr.
C. C. Daniel of Claxton.
The young couple left on the
early train for a trip to Washing
ton City. On their return they
will reside in Savannah where
Mr. McCall holds a responsible
position with the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad.
The bride is the charming
daughter of Mrs. D. W. Folsom
of Mt. Vernon. Mr. McCall is a
native of Liberty county, a mem
ber of one of the most prominent
families of that section, and like
wise his bride is a member of one
of the oldest and most prominent
families in Liberty county.
Congratulations and best wish
es to them.
Says Shut Down.
Mr. Grove Sharpe, who is one
of the best known saw mill men
in this section of the state, and
who operates a mill near Alston,
writes The Monitor regarding
the present price of timber and
the excessive freight rates.
Mr. Sharpe advises the mill
men of this and adjoining coun
ties to close down their plants
until there is a return to better
prices and lower freight rates.
He says the mill men cannot
stand it under present conditions.
