MOUNT BETHEL NEWS. June 30th and a good time for sweaters. Maybe this cold snap will stop our grass from growing so fast. Occasionally we rave about the beauties of nature, we grow ex travagant in our praise of the springtime—its brightness, its blueness, its greenness, its alto gether loveliness —but when we have battled with crab grass and weeds in our crops, gardens and about our premises for weeks, and it rains most every day with no relief in sight, we feel inclined to close our eyes to “anything green” whatsoever for some little bit. And now we can’t have sugar ! Well, let’s be sweet tempered any way—that ought to help some. We are glad to say that Mrs. Kate Wvnne and Rena Maud Piper, who have recently had attacks of appendicitis, are about recovered. Esther Jones is very ill w'ith typhoid fever. Mrs. Sam Smith is slowly impro ving. Mrs. W. N. Austin, who has been on the sick list, is better. Mrs. B. L. Andrews and chil dren, Mrs. Wyman Hicks and Miss Mary Hicks of Oak Hill were guests of Mrs. F. B. and Nina Strawn last Thursday afternoon. A new little son in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Fisher and a daughter in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jess Jeffares are the latest additions to the population of our community. Mrs. Luke Smith of Lithonia and Mrs. Edgar Wallace of At lanta were down to see their grandmother last week, Mrs. Presson, who has been quite feeble, but glad to say is better. Miss Easter Hooten, who has been visiting in Atlanta, is home again, Miss Will Thrasher return ing with her. Loy Strahn, carrier on Route 4, says his Ford has learned to turn out at mail boxes of its own voli tion. He may have drawn a bit on his imagination; but you can never tell what a little Ford will do. I enjoyed “Typographical Er rors” in our paper last week. There was a mistake in almost every item of my communication the week before. From the very first when I tried to say “fried chicken on the menu at last,” and it came out “Fried chicken on the move at last,” on down the col umn. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. but as crying comes hard with me I laughed, for I was sure I didn’t make all of them. Mistakes are easy to make—hard to read sometime. I must admit that I have made some few thou sand myself of several sorts and sizes. And am almost tempted to say with the man at the camp ground, who on rising to tell his experience, said: “I know I don’t ive live like I ought’er, I’ve not discharged my duty as I should’er, but I thank the Lord I am not by myself.” Our John Wesley Jackson made a talk in Sunday school at Mt. Bethel Sunday. Yes, came out of his corner and made a talk and who would have thought it? A good talk, too. Now that’s the thing to do to encourage your superintendent and put life into your Sunday school. I honestly believe we are on the road to better things. Hope you all will enjoy the 4th to your fullest capacity and pass on some of the exuberance of your spirits to others. Mis’ Franc. Hopewell News.

A smooth running motor, with her power up to the notch, running without a “buck” or a thump or a jar, makes it a genuine pleasure in driving a car. Correct and QUALITY lubrication is the answer. It's the differ ence between trouble and pleasure. To those who appre ciate just what correct and “quality” lubrication means, this information is superfluous. They don’t have these troubles. Most of them use “GREEN FLAG” MOTOR OIL exclu sively, and have forgotten what “engine troubles” are. Your engine and motor are lubricated by a special sys tem, provided by the manufacturer for that purpose. This system reaches every part of the motive power and its parts with minute regularity. If this automatic system of lubrication were not provided, you could not run a motor car at all. If you had to personally oil some 18 or 20 parts of the engine and motor every day before you started out, even if such a plan was necessary, and you knew exactly Tolieson & Turner.
