Although the recent cold weather
was enough to kill Mr. B. Weevil, our
farmers should not take too much for
granted and be caught by this wily
insect.
It is estimated that fifty thousand
dollars were spent in plumbing ‘bills
in Atlanta following the recent cold
weather. Perhaps fifty percent of the
damage done was due to carelessness.

Lo! Al the people breaketh their
necks to hand him money. ; .
A child is born unto the wife of a
merchant in the bazadr. The physi
clan getteth ten golden plunks. The
editor writeth a stick and a half and
telleth the multitude that the child
tippeth the beam at nine pounds.
Yea, he lieth even as a centurion,
And the proud father giveth him a
chromo. |
Behold the young woman groweth
up and graduateth. And the editor
putteth into his paper a swell notice,
He telleth of the wisdom of the youn(i
woman, and of her exceeding comeli
ness. Like unto the rose of Sharon‘
is she, and her gown is played up tb
beat the band, and the dressmaker
getteth two score and four iron men.
And the editor getteth a note of
thanks from the S. G. G. The daugh
ter goeth on a journey and the editor
throweth himself on the-story of the
farewell party. ‘lt runneth a column
solid. And the fair one remembereth
him from afar with a plcture postcard
that costeth six for a jitney.
Behold, she cometh out and the
youth of the city fall down and wor
ship. Sfe picketh one, and lo! she
getteth a lemon. But the editor eall
eth him one of our most promising
young men and getteth away with it.
And they send him a bid to the wed
ding feast, and behold, the bids are
fashioned by Muntgumery Hawbuck,
in a far city. Flowery and long is
the wedding notice which the editor
printeth. Ty minister getteth ten
hones. The groom standeth the edi
tor off for a twelvemonth subscrip
tion.
All flesh is grass, and in time is
gathered unto the silo. The minister
getteth his bit. The editor printeth a
death notice, two columns of obituary,
three lodge notices, a cubit of poetry
and a card of thanks. He forgefteth
to read proof on the head, and the
fool thing comes out, “Gone to Her
Roasting Place.”
And all that are akin to the de
ceased jumpeth on the editor with
exceeding great jumps. And they
pulleth out their ads and cancelleth
their subscriptions, and they bwing
eth the hammer even unto the third
and fourth generations.
Canst thou beat it?—Swiped.
Sunday i Day Set to “Go-to Sunda
y and Record Attendance
Will be Looked For.
We had a fine Sunday School ses
sion last Sunday notwithstanding the
very cold weather. There were 112
present and every class was well rep
resented. ' ,
The banner class for attendance
‘'was Miss Mary Kelly's. All their
members were present except one,
and that one was absent on account
of sickness. They also added a new
member to the class.
Five little fish were awarded for
new members and one birthday offer
ing was deposited in the bank.
A committee was appointed to lead
in the wbrk of getting everybody to
go to Sunday School next Sunday. If
is “Go-to-Sunday-School Day” and we
are expecting a record attendance.
Everybody should go to Sunday
School next Sunday. It is the one
day in the year set aside throughout
the state by all denominatibns upon
which every person should attend
some Sunday School. We invite you
to our School. Come and see us and
note the work we are doing. ’
The Young Peoples’ Missionary So
ciety held their regular monthly meet
ing on Sunday afternoon with a good
attendance and interesting service.
Next Sunday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock the Woman's Missionary So
ciety will meet at the church and hold
their regular monthly meeting. Here
tofore this society has been meéeting
at the parsonage but it has outgrown
the room there and the crowded con
dition of the services makes it neces
sary to meet at the church which will
be heated and made comfortable, }
