Wynn’s Mill. G. G. LeGuinn lost a fine hog last week from hydraphobia. Many dogs in this section have been recently bitten, and the same have been killed. Rev. Mr. Holland accompanied Mr. Charlie McKibben home from Oxford last Both these young men are in school there studying for the ministry. Mr. Holland delivered two splendid sermons at New Hope—one in the morning and one at night. A bright and consecrated young man is he. His sermons would have been a credit to elder ministers of long service. Mrs. Dora Wellmaker, of Bar tlesville, accompanied by Mrs. C. O. Wynn, of Augusta, visited the home of G. G. LeGuinn last Sun day. Mrs. E. W. Wainwright and two bright children are* visiting the home of her falaer, Mr. J. I). Mc- Kibben.

Gardner, at Locust Grove, was also at home last Sunday. Travis LeGuinn, who is the miller at this place, has been very busy for months and yet the wheat continues to come. Miss Louise Ellis of Griffin is now closing her third term as principal of New Hope School. She has proven to be a splendid teacher, both in literary and Sun day school. Miss Estelle Castel iaw, the assistant at New Hope, we regret to know, is confined to her home at Locust Grove this week with tonsilitis. We are eager for her recovery and return to school. Philippi School has closed. Prof. Morris, an excellant young man ot Jenkinsburg, was princi pil, and Miss Georgia McKibben, a highly esteemed young lady, the Mr. W. T. Kelley has added to his place of business a gasoline tank. How we enjoy Observer, Mount Bethel and Uncle Jeremiah’s let ters. Simple Simon. PROGRESS NEWS NOTES. They say a reduction in food prices is coming. So is Christmas. Everybody look at the dogwood trees —how pretiy they are —they are wearing their snowy coats again. Easter is here, too. Just think what it mearrs —a memorial of the death and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Mrs. J. W. Foster and Mrs. M. F. Johnson spent Monday after noon with Mrs. W. N. Strickland. Mesdames L. P. Johnson, M. E. Johnson, E. H. Foster and W. S. Foster were visitors of Mrs. J. W. Foster last Wednesday afternoon. We’re glad to note that Mrs. W. N. Strickland is able to be up again.

The great benefit derived from the use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has been gratefully ac knwledged by many. Mrs. Benja min F. Blakenev, Decatur, 111., writes: “Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is by far the best medicine for colds and coughs we have ever used in our family. I gave it to my children when small tor croup and have taken it myself.” Nor ton Drug Co. Loan drive this year. Are we looking forward to the Centenary drive that’s coming, too? There has just been a great war, but there is still a greater one to wage —a war that we can’t be victori ous with, nor money, nor any other arms except spiritual arms, and the European countries are looking to American Protestantism for help to rebuild their new foun dations upon, as everything is overrun and devastated. So we see that the Victory drive isn’t the most important one. I often wonder if the man who says his brain stops working when he gets on his feet to make a speech could do any better sitting down. Mr. J. M. Gilbert and family were visitors of Mr. W. N, Strick land and family Sunday afternoon. Mr. E. H. Foster and family spent Sunday afternoon as guests of Mr. J. P. McCullough and family. The singing given by Mr. and Mrs. Lovick Johnson Sunday night was indeed a good one and enjoyed by a large crowd for a home singing. We are glad Mr. Robert Strick land has resumed his regular work with the Central Railroad, being stationed for the present at Jones boro. Miss Katie Exum spent Sunday afternoon the guest of Mrs. J. W. McCullough. Tommy. Are You Happy? To be happy you must be well, If you are frequently troubled with constipation and indigestion you cannot be altogether happy.

In order to meet the past and present high cost of telephone operation, a revenue in just pro portion to the expense must be secured. The reason is simple. The cost of telephone operation has steadily advanced both because of the increased cost of material and the in creased living cost of employes. The consumer has realized the neces sity of paying more for rent, for food, for clothing and for transporta tion. The telephone industry has been affected by the same conditions which have produced higher prices in all of the necessities of life. Between 1913 and 1918, commodity prices advanced 112 per cent, wages advanced 72 per cent and Bell Telephone rates the country over advanced only 4 per cent. Adequate rates are needed if the service is to be maintained efficiently and on a comprehensive scale, so as to meet the increasing demands of the public. This company is operating its telephone property under the direc tion of the Postmaster General for the United States Government and must secure sufficient revenue to cover the cost of rendering the service. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE f M AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY UißfcJ/ We are glad to know that Mr. Emory Jeffares has returned from overseas.
