(Last Week’s Letter )
The weather and folks seem to
be very much alike at present.
The good sister who does all her
domestic* work these icy days
doesn’t have any time to gossip
around.
Mrs. Martin and children have
moved into our settlement,
buying the place best known as
the Lumpkin Tollesor. home-place.
Others have also moved in, and
we welcome them. May we al
ways live so as to make them
know it’s good to be here.
Mr. Carl Crowell and family
spent Sunday with Mr. Henry
Joyner and family.
The saw mills and pea thresh
seem to be on a stand still in this
community.
Sunday School at Sharon seems
to be a little off. Don’t know
whether it’s altogether weather
or the folks. If the folks, hope
they will if weather con
tinues.
Mr. Elijah Allen was seriously
sick with pneumonia fever at his
home in Atlanta, though a little
better at this writing. Also his
wife and baby. Hope for them
speedy recovery.
Tommie, was glad to read a
scrip from you in the paper. Wish
for you a happy new year.
Prof. O. 0. T., how is all with
you and yours. Wish you well.
Observer, I was thinking last
week if we could have an allday
singing and afternoon listen to
C. R. Mullins, C. H. Bottoms, Grif
fin and Morris sing that song,
Which Way Will You Go, then
listen to the Rev. J. M. Gilmore of
your town preach a real genuine
gospel sermon, it would prepare
us better to undergo the things of
•today. Better even if A. C. Nor
man and Jess Pendley would or
couid appear at Sunday School
and sing a few good hymns it
would lift us on higher ground.
Mrs. Otto Joyner and two chil
dren have arranged to keep house
to themselves —will move on the
Irb Norman place a short distance
from her sister, Mrs. Jack Turner,
near the school and church.
Dear Weekly and correspond
ents, ye scribe has a lot this Mon
day morning to be thankful for.
All well except bad colds; not a
doctor visited our home during
these icy winter days; plenty good
fire to keep all warm; but we
know not how soon the dark days
may come, for there is never a
day so sunny but a little cloud ap
pears. But our hearts are sad
and made to blend to those who
are cold and hungry, sick or
wounded absent loved ones, espe
cially the fathers, mothers, sisters
and companions, whose loved
ones have had to go to the train
ing camps to be trained for the
great and awful war which now
confronts us. May God bless and
comfort each of them; may we all
trust in Him who is able to give
us strength to bear these great
trials and trounles. He has prom
ised not to leave or forsake us if
we will only trust him.
Best wishes to all.

Was Feeling Run Down
Symptoms of on-coming kidney
trouble deserve prompt attention,
for neglect invites serious illness.
Louis Buckner, Somerset, Va,
writes: “I was feeling all run
down; tired, with pains in my
back. After taking Foley Kidney
Pills I felt like a new man.” Back
ache, rheumatic pains, stiff joints,
sore muscles,, swollen ankles, puf
finess under eyes, and sleep-dis
turbing bladder ailments yield
quickly to this time-tried remedy.

President Georgia Chamber Of Com
merce Shows How Millions Ware
Saved Last Year
Atlanta, Georgia.—(Special.)—“More
money was saved in 1917 through the
medium of the home garden than ever
before, the United States Department
of Agriculture estimating that there
were fully one million new gardens
made last year,” says H. G. Hastings,
President of the Southeastern Fair and
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
in an interview reviewing the 1917
farming operations in the South.
“Thousands upon thousands of our
people in the South,’’ said Mr. Hast
ings, “for the first time in their lives
learned to appreciate the money sav
ing power of the home garden, proper
ly planned, prepared for, planted and
kept planted during the entire sea
son.”
“Up to the present it has been very
hard to get our people to consider the
home garden seriously as a real sub
stantial factor in food production with
the consequent saving of money that
went for food supplies at the store.
Unless we are much mistaken the
home garden will from now on be
taken as seriously as any other part
of the farm work.
“A quarter to a half acre devoted
to a variety of vegetables liked by the
family can be kept going nearly the
whole year in the South and give its
owner as much as the product of two
or three acres of cotton, even at pres
ent pricefe, will buy at the store. The
right kind of a garden means an
abundance of healthful food during
spring, summer and fall and an abund
ance either canned or dried for win
ter use.”
“Let no one be fooled by the lies
spread abroad that the Government
is going to seize home canned goods
on closet shelves in the farm or
home. These lies are started by Ger
man agents for the express purpose of
discouraging our people in increased
food production and saving. Few can
go to the firing line, but all can join
in and have a part in home produc
tion of food.
“We have never seen a permanent
ly prosperous farm section either in
the United States or in foreign coun
tries that was not a diversified sec
tion, and in every diversified section
the home garden has an honored and
valued place. The home garden is a
store bill cutter of the first rank.”
