[got their share.
Ur. Charlie Wyatt, of Coving¬
ton, was called and after mak
inf several excuses rendered “A
Life” in such an im
ssive way that it showed up
flimsiness of his excuses,
that he was only taking up
a little time in which to make
hit, selections. President G. W.
Andrews now put in his ap¬
pearance and added his wonder
f* bass to the already soulful
melody that was so melodiously
ringing tl| out from the summit of
dear old red hill where Lib¬
erty stands. , Prof. Thompson
was then called and lead “Over

really a wonderful revelation of
and melody, the voices
mingling as one into
a symphony seldom heard, and
can not fail to bring sun¬
shine to the soul.
■Prnf. J. J. Hulsey was then
called and at once caught the ad

Prof. Piper, then in a harmo
nious way introduced a little
man formerly of North Georgia
who proved to be our own Sam
Coalson who lead “He Is Knock
ing at the Door,” in that happy
Coalson way.
Singing, especially this good
singing, by these Liberty sing¬
ers, gets our Sam so happy that
his clear tenor just bubbles over
and adds untold melody to the
occasion every time he gets
where there is singing. His is
a musical nature.
Prof. B. F. Kitchens, of Cov¬
ington, was then called and sang
a solo entitled “Shadows,”
.
which was tenderly pathetic and
faultlessly rendered. This*was
followed by “Victory is Coming”
“He is Able to Keep Me,” and
“Traveling On,” in a way that
went straight to the hearts x of
the hearers as well as the sing¬
ers and all considered was one
of the best lessons of the after¬
noon.
Prof. Piper then called Profs.
Norman and Kitchens and Mrs.
J. C. Loveless to assist him in
singing “Mothers’ Gone,” and
the sweet words, so express¬
ive and tender, ever heart was
filled with tears as our Angel
Mother was recalled, and we
think man silent vows were reg¬
istered to i go to mother when
life’s fitful journey is ended,
and when that reunion is a fact,
to live in praise eternally.
Prof. Piper then called
President Andrews apd put lnrh
in charge and as a punishment
for being late told him he must
take complete charge. Prof.
Andrews responded by "Calling
Prof. Piper to lead “Forever
Mine.” “We Will March Along”
“Wonderful, Marvelous Love/’
and as usual he accredited him¬
self with another victory by
leading this lesson in his happy
usual impressive, melodious
style.
Prof. Hulsey was re-called
and showed how sacred music
was taught back in ’74, when
he was not quite as old as he
is now, and lead a selection
which was one of the old tim ■
melodies which never fail to
arouse enthusiasm when well
sung.
Our own quartette then sang
“When The Mists Have Rotted
Away” and “One By Oik/ touching in a
wonderfully sweet and
manner—a manner that grips
the soul and commands one to
look to Jiis condition and take
an inventory of his heart and
find what is unclean in it. Won¬
derful control and tone is pos¬
sessed by each together of these they gentle¬
men, ’and are
masterful indeed, and command
attention of every one. Vres.
Andrews then took charge and
lead “his song” “The* Home
Over There,” which is his favo¬
rite and he will sing it every
time he gets an opportunity and
his spirit was caught by the au ¬
dience and such a volume of
melody floated heavenward as i
seldom heard.
Rev. J. B. Gresham was called
and reiterated his invitation to
the class to visit his church at
Mt. Zion next Sunday, Febru¬
ary 13th, and assist him in his
services that day, promising a
good dinner and his company to
Almon in the afternoon as re¬
compense for our help, all of
which was very satisfactory and
acceptable, so^ if the Lord is
willing we will be with those
good people next Sunday. Rev.
G. W. Tumlin was called and
made a few remarks on the value
of music in church services and
how much he appreciated it.
Then closed the session with
prayer. close
Your secretary can not
this report without paying
well merited tribute to the la¬
dies who lend their gracious
presence-, and ,add so much to the
beauty of the seeiffl and let their
pure hearts praise their Re¬
deemer through their songs.
Their clear voices' lit in with
such harmony, and adds so
much feeling, tone, tendernes
and sweetness to the greater
volume of the male voice, and
make the entire session one of
joyous participation in a regu¬
lar soul feast. Surely the Spir t
of the Heavenly Dove is hover¬
ing low over Liberty Hill, at
anxiously pleading for lodg m v
in some soul. May these soiugs
be the cause of bringing
lasting jov and peace to oir
singers, and a reunion in “The
Home Over 'Jhere” without the
loss of one where we can sin:
our praises everlasting, before
the Throne of the Father.

[ GEORGIA DOGS MORE
VALUABLE I HAN MINES
Former s Valuation is $230,641
—Mines Valued at Only
.
$69,571—Of her Figures
That dogs in Georgia were re
turned for taxation at a value
more than thre times greater
than capital invested in mining
property of all kinds, is one of
the interesting facts disclosed
by a recapitulation of 1920 tax
returns made by W. B. Harrison,
chief clerk in the tax department
of the comptroller’s office. ■
While the capital invested in
min nig operations was returned
in 1920 at a valuation of only
$69,571, the dogs of - Georgia
were returned,for taxation at a
valuation of $ 2 3 0, 6 4 1. Of
course the returns of capital in¬
vested in mining operations were
by no means commensurate with
the actual capital so invested.
It is estimated by the tax au¬
thorities of the state house that
the above figures, of $69,571,
represents not more than 10 per
cent of actual capital invested in
mining. Neither does the val¬
ue of dogs returned .for taxation
represent the actual value of
worth-while dogs placed upon
them by their owners, but it at
least indicates a greater willing¬
ness on the part of dbg owners
to pay faxes on their mines.
The aggregate value of prop¬
erty of all kinds returned for
taxation in Georgia in 1920 was
$1,181,473,058, which was a
substantial over the aggregate
returns in 1919 of $982’800,863.
A classifications of the re¬
turns of 1920, made acording to
the specifications digest,\shows laid down by
the tax the fol¬
lowing sub-aggregates compos¬
ing the general agregate:
Acres of land cultivated and
uncultivated, 35,442,560, retur¬
ned at an aggregate value of

PRICED STOCK FOODS
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Unwarranted—
Makes llis Own Hog Food,
With Better Results
“That he is all through paying fan¬
cy prices for stock foods and hog rem¬
edied and that he is raising some of the
best hogs ever placed on the market’’
was the statement* made recently by
E. H. Beckstead, well-known hog raiser
and authority on live stock.
Mr. Beckstead’s hogs are the envy of
his neighbors, and have “topped the
market” for several years in Iowa. He
states that for years he bought high
priced hog foods and hog remedies, but
he is all through paying extravagant
prices for what he can make himself.
He states that what the hog needs are
minerals, and tells the secret of hij
wonderful success hy explaining that
lie tases about five pounds of ordinary
mineraline (which is pure concentrated
minerals and costs .only a couple of dol¬
lars) and mixes same with enough bran
or filler to make a hundred pounds All
hogs, and especially brood sows require
minerals as they keep them from worms
and in the pink of condition, and are es¬
sential to the hogs growth and a well
balanced ration. This inexpensive mix¬
ture placed in a sheltered box where
the hogs can get at it as they need it
will produce far be ter results than aiiy
high-priced so-called stock tods.
Send two dollars to the Mineraline
Chemical Co., 1038' Uorth Wells St.,
Chicago, 111., and they will forward you
by prepaid parcel post, enough mineral¬
ine to make a full .hundred pounds.
