My Dear Friend:
Yours of April 27 received some
ten days ago, but have been so
busy that I havn’t hardly had
time to eat, and only have time to
write a short note now, which is
made possible by a dense fog this
a. m. preventing any flying. Of
course it will lift in a short while,
and then it means get out and
make up for lost time.
Had a bad fall on Mav 15 when
on a photo mission 2600 meters
height when the morter went
dead and we crashed to the
ground, but as before we had on
ly a few scratches and 1 was up
again in three days.
Will try to enclose one of the
bad prints in this note. It will
give you some idea of what the
ground looks like at 2 miles high.
Must get ready to go to work
now —will try to wfite more in
terestingly next time.
Sincerely yours,
Frank B. Tidwell.

Annual Singing Is
Held at Court House.
The annual singing of the old
Sacred Harp was held at the court :
house last Sunday, and as usual a
good crowd was in attendance.
The exercises were called to order
at 10 o’clock by the chairman, I.
P. Rosser, and was opened with
prayer by Rev.) Dan Henderson,
and the balance of the day was
engaged in singing the old-time
songs. There was plenty of lead
ers on hand to conduct the sing
ing, although there was not as
many visiting leaders present as
was expected.
Mr. I. P. Rosser, who has been
the chairman for a number of
years, was again re-elected for
the ensuing y^ir.
A movement was put on foot to
purchase a supply of these old-,
time bdoks to use at the next an
nual singing, which will be held
here hext year as usual. It was
indeed a day for the old-time mu
sic lovers.

Let Hardwick Stay in the
Race.
The Sandersville Progress pub
lished in Senator Hardwick’s home
town, a paper which has been sun
porting him for re-election, now
forsakes him. In an editorial The
Progress advises him to quit the
race, “as he does not fully appre
hend the seriousness of the situa
tion,” and “certainly does not rep
resent the views of those who
have been his most ardent politi
cal supporters in the past. —The
Greehsboro Herald Journal.
When he fell out with President
Wilson and placed himself in the
attitude of an obstructionist b>
opposing every measure proposed
by the administration for the
prosecution of the war, this paper
was one of the first to suggest
that Senator Hardwick should re
sign, believing that he could best
serve his country by letting some
one take his place who was in 1
harmony with the administration.
But since it has been charged that
the supporters of Senator Hard
wick are slackers and disloyal to
the government, we think it would
be well to let him remain in the
race to a finish. We think Uncle
Sam should know who is for and
who against him in the great ef
forts he is putting forth with the
allied nations to crush Germanism
and to uphold those principles for
which our forgathers fought, suf-*
fered and sacrificed fhvif lives.

Prevent Hog Cholera.
The B A. Thomas Hog Powder
has a record of 95% cures of Hog
Cholera. If >ou feed your hogs
as directed, you need never fear
hog cholera’ nor any . otiier hog
disease. And the directions are
very simple, just about vVhat you
are doing, plus a few cents worth
of B. A.Thomas’ Hog Powder in
the feed twice a week.
Uusually, though, Cholera gets
in before we know it. Then it re
quires close attention to each hog
—each hog must h i dosed —and if
you will dose them as directed,
you will sage better than 90 per
cent, if you don’t, the B. A.
Thomas medicinre costs you noth
ing. We —not some distant man
ufacturer —pav your money back.

CARD OF THANKS.
As it is impossible to see in per
son all of our neighbors and
friends, we take this method of
extending our many thanks to
each one of them for their many
kind acts and comforting words
to us in the sad and sudden death
ot our dear husband and father,
especially Dr. Smith for his kind
ness, neither can we ever forget
the many comforting things said
about our loved one by cousin
Lige Oglesby. May God’s richest
blessings be upon each of them.

Not many days since a soldier
had come to the city of McDon

“catch” a way home, and was
lucky enough to get within a mile

walk that distance, but a good
Samaritan halted him and rolled
out his car and brought him.
These little deeds of kindness al
ahvays touch a tender place in
our hearts, and was duly appreci
bv this hoy of whom we are speak

the only things for which we are
striving to maintain in this world.
Having both (not boasting) we

Doing; a Man’s Part.
The farmers of the country are
doing more than their “hit.” They
are doing their best, their earnest,
dead level best, and The Progress-
Argus wishes to make due ac
knowledgement of this fact.
The farmer —and this includes
his wife and children as well —is
on the job early and late. No
eight Itour law for him. No strike
if things don’t go exactly right.
No bluff nor bull dozing methods.
The farmer is the man of the
hour and the country is under a
debt of everlasting gratitude to
the man who tills soil. If the
farmers were to get strikes and
continual boosts of salary in their
heads, as other classes have and
are doing, and were to fall down
on the job, the war would he over
mighty quick by means of the
starv ition route.
A liberal share of the man pow
er has been furnished by the farm
ar. He has bought Liberty Bonds,
War Savings Stamps, helped the
Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., and all
other demands and to make sure
that he is doing his duty is feed
ing the whole crowd. —Jackson
