the officers.
Quite a good crowd was present
and at the midnight hour of 1:30
sandwiches and coffee was serv
ed, followed by it big watermelon
cutting. The lodge starts off with
a bright propect, and will doubt
less grow in number, as it is one

Mr. Sol Austin’s Arm
Badly Cut in Saw Mill.
The numerous friends of Mr. S.
K. Austin of Brushy Knob regret
to know that he was the victim of
a serious accident last week. In
attempting to clear away some
obstruction from the saw at his
mill, by some means it caught his
left arm, cutting through both
bones. He was carried at once to
an Atlanta hospital, and at last ac
counts it had not been fully deter
mined whether the arm could be
saved, though there was hope that
it could be.

Windblown pollen, carrying the
bacteria that inflame nose and

is known to give relief and com

Shocking Suicide of
Mr. Green Jones.
A most shocking and regretable
occurence one day last week was
the suicide of Mr. Green Jones in
the upper part of Henry county.
Mr. Jones lived on the place of
Mr. Jud Bowen, and was known
as a good, hard working citizen.
During the latter part of June he
was stricken ill, and seemingly
unable to regain his health, de
spondency overcame him. Soon
after daybreak on the fatal morn
ing he went out near the house,
placed a shot gun under his chin
and discharged it, the contents
tearing away nearly the entire
face.
Mr. Jones leaves a wife and
eight children, and the tragedy is
deeply deplored.

For a hog to be profitable he
must be kept growing from birth
to marketing age. He cannot be
profitable unless he is healthy.
He can always be in a profit-pro

prevents cholera, removes worms
and cures thumps. If the powder
does not make good, we will.

lives and influence of these goo 1
people have been a blessing to

sence we are going to support
them in the best manner that we
know how. May God bring the .

Our hearts are so full of grau
tude this morning that words arc
inadequate to express ourselves.
Mercy drops have been falling
around us all our lives; we know
that, hut for the past few weeks
showers have been poured out to
such an extent that we have al
most had an overflow. Every
time a doubt or fear arises we get
doubly repaid. So we feel that
we are getting on higher ground
every passing day.
