■C.ING AT PORTERDALE nday, February 6th, 1921, ied clear and moderately -n. The sun came out and its rejuvenating especially rays over stendom, and over erdale and the “Little White rch on the Hill,” known as > r ty. Many happy men and wm youths and maids made r way to Liberty as the 0 ( j s of the clock pointed to +h« the annointed ; hour to meet and % a few hours profitably in , x of praise to Him who h all things well. On every ‘cowi __Miitenance dej could spend be -seen well the a rmination to H, slotted for this meeting, and all seemed 'eager for the H o* ing number to be called., so they could raise their es in harmonious melody, expressing their thankful , has been that the Father av ish with temporal bless K, hje and praise love in for their the hearts, sun s of His a * the happy companionship of 01 .{kindred and friends., vj on after the hour appointed President Jesse Piper call ed Prof. S. E. Coalson, with M#■ W. D. Collum at the organ, wljch to lend the opening number, Earth,” was “Peace on w an) j| ( ;h proved an ideal selection, immediately the spirit pf Mini love seemed to settle over th0 entire audience and they jolied in the song with such foj-e CoTlson and harmony forced to that lead Prof. was one mo Prlf. song in his matchless way. J. T. Hulsey then asked Diline Blessing on our feeble e»rts, and the session was du ^ppened. then lead Jesse Piper “flrune” in his inimitable wa:, and brought out fully the earnest longing that he feels “tq be there” when a long and useful career has ended. Mr. Gejwge Day was Guide then Me,” called in and “Jesus, a that showed clearly Jthat he a master of harmony ajid Indy. This was followed by J the Master’s Work Go On,” i “I’ll Live On,” which con dvely showed that t^hen the si was passing around talent music, the Day family sure [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 tic River,” as only Prof. Thomp - sin can. This was followed with in The Lord,” which was 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 of every one by the manner /in which he which ^ Waiting The Boatman,” m every one seemed to enter with avidity. “Christ, ■e Glorious, Reigns” came next ar WlS' H seemed to spread joy all v <ho house which was filled wl capacity, with many late ar rr is crowding about the doors a fi<! windows hungrily devouring wonderful melody that was TOatuig Heavenward from the hfis of this little band of God’s He was then request- 1o sing “I’ll Live On,” which uid in his own masterful way alter which Prof. W.

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 8369,888,859. City and town real estate, $3,- 44’262,523. Bank stock and real estate owned by banks, $44,955,248. Capital invested in building and loan associations, $282,539. Stocks and bonds held by indi¬ viduals, firms and corporations, and returned for taxation, $4,- 807,964. Cash in hand, cash on depos¬ its, money, notes, accounts, etc., $81,802,892.

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.
