PROGRESS NEWS NOTES.
Keep to the right.
It will never hurt us to be good.
Unbelief never destroys facts.
Faith without works is dead.
So consideration without action is
dead also.
The devil never has to advertise
in the lost and found column to
keep tab on the Kaiser.
Friends made atfthe expense of
virtue are never worth half the
price paid.
Choose ye this day whom ye
will serve, God or Satan —Ameri-
ca or Germany.
No, sir, times ain’t like they use
to be. It use to be a gentleman
wouldn’t smoke in the presence
ot a lady. Now he will puff it
right in her face.
Religion is the same thing it was
a hundred, yea a thousand years
ago. The trouble lies in the fact
that so few of us have it this day
and time.
Let us take a glance at nature
and see what we find there. We
never find the squirrel and the
rat in the same den, nor can we
find the fox and coon in the same
hole. We never find the dove
and the pigeon in the same nest,
the rattler and boa constricor un
der the same stone. The animals
of nature, the fowls of the air
never tolerate mixing. Not so
with man. He will tolerate any
thing. Oh, God, what is man that
thou art mindful of him?
I am not one of these here folks
that believe in always knocking
people, but if you would put a set
of strings on a baseball bat I could
tune it up on old Kaiser’s head
eveay morning before breakfast.
Mr. Garie Strickland and family
spent Saturday night with his pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs W. N. Strick
land.
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Johnson of
Atlanta spent Saturday and Sun
day with homefolks here.
Mr. Turner Terry and family of
Ola, also Mr, Mr. W. M. Rosser,
visited Mr. Lovick Johnson and
family Sunday.
Mr. John Johnson of. Camp
Wheeler visited homefolks here
Sunday, possibly his last time be
fore leaving for France. May the
good Lord go with John when he
leaves.
Mr. Jeff Hand is smiling a smile
from ear to ear, and walking as
proud as a dog in a meat house.
A new chewy? Oh, no, a bright
little lady.
It may be that God is letting
this terrible war wage on in order
to chastize the Allies and the Unit
ed States. Why? Because we
have permitted terrible national
wrongs to go on wiihout stopping
these black sins that have cursed
us for years and years. One of
the most heinous of these crimes
has been the traffic in whiskey, a
traffic that the governments of
our foremost nations have encour
aged and permitted to go on.
President Wilson should ask Con
gress at once to cut out this
shameful evil that is taking food
to brew into beer. lam a patriot.
1 do love my country and the oth
ers who are struggling for free
dom and democracy, but 1 want a
democracy that will “hold water.”
