Mt. Bethel
Our present mild winter seems
to bo under discussion every
where don’t worry February does
a plenty, and then theres March,
April and May three months of
unwelcome supriser in the
of wind disagreeable rains an 4
drizzles ana fitter cold snaps.
Why don’t you remember how
you’ve seen corn and cotton killed
down to the foots as late as May?
Old winter may be late in coming
but he will not forget us.
A pretty good Sunday school at
Mt. Bethel Sunday in spite of rain
Dad slush.
I have tried to teach in this
Sunday school for something like
twenty years once the infant class
was mine, and on Sundays there
were twenty odd eager little faces
looking into mine then it was a
class of intermediate boys and
girls about three or four pens full
of bright interested listeners for a
year I was teacher of the young
men’s class, almost always a full
class of serious and studious
young men and older ones. Then
for quite a while I tried to serve a
young ladies class of earnestly
interested girls ranging from
fifteen to twenty in number even
when appointed to cradle roll
work I soon obtained a large
number of names for the roll but
now comes the sad part of my
story, when I was appointed to
teach married ladies and mothers
class and had undertaken the
work I met my Waterloo. I have
faithfully tried to build up a class
and have took upon myself this
work two or three different times
and each time have failed miser
ably. lam again making a special
effort in this service and if the
mothers will rally fo the work I
believe we may build up a class
like of which Mt. Bethel church
has never known. I happen to
know something of the goodness
and true worth of those sister
married ladies and I almost said
they are the best material I’ve
ever handled in all my work.
How about it sister and mothers,
may I count on you?
The bad weather spoiled out
several social affairs in this vicini
ty Saturday night.
Mrs. George Thompson and
children of Ellistown, and Mrs.
Nannie Haynes, were guest of
Mrs. W. N. Austin Saturday night.
Little Misses Mary Franc and
Eleanor Strawn were guests of
Miss Beulah Stroud Saturday
afternoon.
The following ladies were in

Mrs. J. W. Jackson last Monday
afternoon: Mrs. Sarah Austin,
Mrs. Mary Duke, Mrs. Fannie
Bledsoe, Mrs. Ruby Jaffares, Miss
Nina Strawn, Mrs. Lilia Bledsoe
and Mrs. Fannie Strawn.
This old world is large we are
sure but some times it seems a
bit crowded or something. Country
people it seems must make the
food to feed all the folks, but they
want a good price for it and the
city house-wife almost weeps and
swears when she is obliged to buy
fruits, vegatables, milk, butter,
meats etc. on account of the high
price she has to pay. The farmer
in turn is dependant upon the city
manufacturer for many things
essential to keeping up a farm and
building it takes lots of money to
buy them. Any reasonable person
will see that if the work goes on
he must have them. The country
man then rushes off to town in
many cases leaving his family be
hind, he tries to get work that he
may buy the

Exciting Chase Front

A stir of excitement prevailed
here for a short time Saturday a
bout poon when two highpowered
cars—one ft roadster and the
other a five-passenger touring
car—passed through the town at
great speed while occupants of
the touring car fired a number of
pistol shots at the roadster which
was leading the exciting chase
The two cars came the Ellaville
road to the public square, turning
at the bank corner and going di
rectly west towards Junction City.
As they passed through the busi
ness section of town where some
of the firing was done, they were
Only a short distance apart the
shooting, however, did not retard
the speed of the preceding car,
but rather served to induce the
driver to step a little heavier on.
the gasfeed.
The first direct information of
what was happening was about an
hour later when both cars return
ed to Butler, exchanges in the
meantime having taken place a
among the occupants of the cars.
Matters began to clear up when
Prohibition Officer J. H. Dismuke
alighted from the touring car and
introduced to his friends three of
his deputies. The fourth member
of the party refused to give his
name. He was the man under
arest with his car and whiskey
confiscated.
Upon examination of the cap
tured car a number of bullet holes
were found in the body, a vainless
effort having been made by the
officers to stop the car by punc
turing the tires.
Officer Dismuke explained to
the crowd that soon gathered that
they had chased the whiskey
laidened car from Americns though
Ellaville, Butler, Howard and
within a few miles of Junction
City before effecting the capture.
Upon examination the car was
found to contain more than one
hundred quarts of red whiskey.
The occupant of the car, who
was youthful looking, refused to
give his name or any information
concerning himself, however, it is
thought that his home is in Colum
bus .He was carried back to
Americus to answer to the charge
of transporting whiskey. Under
the law he will have to pay a
heavy fine, lose his car and the
“wet goods.”—Butler Herald.
weevil he has not been able to
obtain the money to get in the
country., the citv people resent
this more on his part and try to
devise means to stop him from
coming in to take work that the
city working man needs for the
support of his family and they
claim he is the cause of the cut in
wages, still the working man’s
family could not have food if it
were not for the country man’s
work on the farm and in the
dairies. And so we are back right
where we started. It makes us
dizzy, we seem to be going around
and around in a circle getting no
where.
Who was it said that Christ was
the greatest business man the
world has ever known? Perhaps
if we would stick closer to His
teachings and introduce consider
