MOUNT BETHEL NEWS. Labor scarce, work plentiful. The song of the hoe makes music sweet in the ears of indus trious farming people. Mr. B. L. Andrew and family spent ttie week-end with his sis ter, Mrs Frances Strahn, Little Louise Andrew, who has been visiting her cousin, Mary Frances Strahn, returned home with them. Mrs. Cora Hunt and children of Covington were visiting relatives here Sunday. Among the visitors who attend ed services at Mount Bethel Sun day were Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Gil more, Miss Forsyth and Messrs. \V. C. George, Hugh Woods and S. J. Hunt. Misses Pearl and Nett'e E’Dalgo of Jr nkiosnurg were visitors in this community Sunday. A few of the social events of this place Saturday night were a bee robbing at Mr. Dave Wiiliards, an aft; it of the y( i tiger set at W. W. Hooten’: and a sin ing at the home of F. B. S i aim's. Of course the bee robbing must have been 100 sweet for words. Hiss Nellie llooten was hostess to a number of her young .friends and enter tained in her usual charming man ner. Ice cr earn and cake were daintily served for refreshments. The singing we ail felt to be a grand success. Prof. Hooten and Miss Elon Norman Presided at the piano, while Messrs. Norman, Pendley and Hooten did most of the singing, the rest of the little audience being too spell bound to •do anything but listen, and were glad of Hie chance to do that. Those three splendid mail voices being sufficient within themselves. After helping with all his might to sing that song, “When I Pray,” and having brought ii io a final impressive finish, seeming himself surprisf ■ i the melody and spirit <>: tile son.,: just remit*; td, Mr. Norman turned abruptly ,>u i, “TMetTs not any -ucii song in this book.” Mr. and Mrs. id U. Strahn, Ley, Franklin and George Strahn spent dnesdav in Atlanta. Atlanta' seems imbued vvitn the true spirit | of patriot sm. In tiie window of al most ever residence you may! s a the stars and st'ipes, red cross tnio'ems, service flags, food con-! servation cards or other signs of loyally anti service. While silting in a drugstore my eyes fell upon it beautiful American flag attached io an eke trie fan in such a way that its lovely tolds floated con tinually in the bieeze. As 1 con tinued to gaze upon it and think deeply of nil it stands for, of what it means to us as a nation, burn ing te .rs sprang to m\ eyes and my heart seemed near to breaking when the dark thought came to an that I might possibiy see the day that its colors wnuln be torn down and dragged in ihe dirt, its staff b;okeu by the heel of the i n titny we are warring against and our iiMiniiu' flag coast to be. But it shall never be so. We will be victorious. We can, we slink, re must, _w • vill win the victory. <j :he ip us! Mr. •da; Mrs. Horace Randall rig; ‘ !i. J. '\.

Don’t You Think This Reo Six Is a Beautiful Motor Car? WE CONFESS WE ARE PROUD of the looks as well as oi nie mechanical excellence of tins ne*\ Reo model. RIVALS USED TO SAY “Oh, Reos are good cars —no gain saying that —but our bodies excel in design,” etc. PERHAPS WE DID concentrate our attention on the mechanical features, and sometimes to the neglect of mere outward appearance. PERHAPS WE DID, but as between the two, which do you prefer, a good car —or a good looking one? FOR IT IS A FACT that those who “build them to sell” are just as prone to overlook vital mechanical details as we were to ignore the fads of the moment in our body design. OF COURSE the ideal, at which we aim is a good look ing car that is also v ternally good—and tjiat de scribes this New Reo Six. IN EVERY LINE and curve —in all details of upholstery and finish and equipment —this Reo Six is a la mode. » UP TO THE MINUTE in design—while the quality in seen, as well as in unseen places is—Reo. AND THAT’S THE BEST the world affords. WE REO FOLK DON’T SKIMP to meet a price com petition. Reos are not built to sell at a predeter mined price. REOS ARE BUILT just as well as Reo experience and Reo engineering skill, actuated by Reo Good Intent, can make them. Then the price is set —based on cost plus a reasonable profit. IN A WORD, the Reo you buy is made just as you would ’nave it were you to write the specifications yourself, test every part and then watch every ope ration. SPACE FORBIDS a detailed des@ r iotion here. Besides the car itself tells its own story beker. •* ■* SEE THIS SIX—RIDE IN IT. Diiye it yourself—you can, without a word of instruction if you have ever driven any automobile. - 1 THEN LET CS HAVE your order at once —for demand is already ahead of factory output and only those , who order early can hope to obtain Reos. TODAY won’t be a minute too iate. 4 4 A. R. IIOA.N, Agent. I -» Phone 2303 - - - McDonough, Ga. * 4 Reo Motor Car Company, Lansing, Mich. i 4 r V ' V, / ! A - i xjm *■> ■ -jjr . ' • ~ -c.
