Stockbridge high school will re
sume Monday. Sept. sth. There
are four high schools in Henry
county, ana three of them are dis
trict schools, that is the patronage
is restricted to the population in
which the schools are located, but
the Stockbridge school is not lim
ited to it’s location as to patronage,
but pupils living in the districts
north of it are allowed a place in
this school. For that reason there
ought to be a large school in our
town.
Our marshal’s bull dog has a
keen eye as well as his master, and
recognizes as a stranger the per
son who does not frequent
our sidewalks at night. The
dog lets you know that you are
an intruder on his territory. His
master’s voice and the chain about
his neck only keeps him from at-j
tacking you. There hasn’t been a :
burglary here in years. Y'ou can
rest undisturbed so long as the
marshal and his dog “Sport” are
on guard at night.
The moving pictures, the mod
ern sensual dances, and the auto
mobile (the Devil’s buggy) are the
three great allies of the Devil in
the debauchery of the young life
of America. Parents and guard
ians of the young are lazily wak
ing up to the situation and feebly
protesting and weakly acting to
avert the dangers that are all
about us. The harvest that will
be reaped after a while is tearful
to contemplate in the loss of vir
tue and the damnation of souls.
Shingle Roof camp meeting
opens Friday niaht, the 25th. Able
preachers have been appointed,
an experienced singer employed,
and a good meeting is expected, if
those who attend who are profes
sed Christians do not find a soft
seat on the stool of do nothing
and sit there for a whole week
feasting and calling and let sin
ners go on to hell while they do
nothing towards trying to rescue
them. Such people get nothing in
such a meeting except to get fur
ther from God and nearer to hell
themselves. The parable of the
talents (Mat. xy.) preaches the
funeral of the professed Christian
who is good, but “good for noth
ing.” The man or woman with
the one talent unemployed has
the same doom according to the
hook, as the maudlin drunkard,
the unclean adulterer or the mon
ey-loving covetous church mem
