FROM DALLAS, TEX.

One Who Has Friends in |

lettdr and poem, we are herewith

Last eve, 1 paused beside a black
| smith’s door
And heard the anvil ring the ves
} per chime; ,
Then, looking in, I saw upon the floor
’ Old hammers worn with beating
years of time,
“How- many anvils have you\had,"
~ said I
“To wear and batter all these, ham
mers so 0?”
“Just one,” said he; then said with
twinkling éye,
“The anvil wears the hammer out,
you know.”
And so, 1 thought the anvil of God's
word
For ages skeptics’ blows have beat
upon;
Yet tho the noise of falling blows was
heard,
The anvil is unhurt—the hammers
gone. :

Governor Harris Has Called Georgia
Legislature to Convene in Extra
| ordinary Session Mar. 20th,
~ Atlanta, March 7.—Gov. Harris at
10:30 o'clock last night authorized
the statement that he will formally
call the Georgia legislature to con
vene in extraordinary session ‘on
‘Tuesday, March 20, and that this pro
clamation will be issued Thursday
morning. wEL
Today the governor will issue &
ditions presented so him as reasons
why the special session will be called
and his conclusions, and giving the
reasons’ which impel him to issue
the call and the subject matter to be
presented for comsideration of the
gession, which will be confined to
“bone-dry” legislation .and a special
appropriation to cover the deficiency
of about $42,000 in the old pension
rolls and a further deficiency of about
$45,000 to complete the full list, in
cluding the newly added names.
In preparing the expression of his
‘vlews and reasons the governor re
‘alizes the strong prejudices that exist
‘agalnst extra legislative sessions, but
will show the extent of the almost
innumerable complaints that have
been made of the evils growing out of
the recent prohibition enactments in
Georgja, as they have come to him
from every part of the state and as
he expresses it, from every class of
citizens, It was the stress of this
he shows in his statcment, which real
ly is to be but a preface to his pro
clamation, that caused him to enter
into a careful examination of the sit
uation to determine whether or not
there should be a special session and
to arrive at a conclusion on what
remedy should be applied. The gov
ernor will show in his statement that
it has been represented to him that
very great evils are resulting from
the shipments into Georgia from
liquor by people outside of the state,
which are “allowed under our pres
ent anti-shipping laws,” and that
these shipmefits into Georgia alone
‘have grown so nmumerous that a new
business enterprise has been started;
that the express agent at every sta
tion becoming the agent of the state
under the law are being made the vic
tims of a‘condition under the law for
which the state legislature is re
sponsible. It is pointed out by him
that the interests of the agents had
been enlisted by the fact that a parti
of the compensation provided for in
the state law goes to the agent as his
own commigsion without requiring
him to make any accounting to his
employer for it, :
The governor stréSes in his an
nouncement that 80 per cent of the
liquor shipped into the state is being
distributed among the mnegro pepula
tion and that in many instances it
has been shown those deliveries are
made to people in their homes who
are not of full age. He further states
that ih many instances the same per
son is having shipments of liquor
Lively Interest is Being Taken in the
Sunday School and the Attend
ance is Increasing.
The ladies of the Missionary So
ciety held their week of prayer for
Home Missions rm March sth to
9th meeting in the afternoons as fol
lows: Monday with Mrs. John David
son, Tuesday with Mrs, W. C. Ivey,
Wednesday - with Mrs. J. V. Davis,

t the mid-week prayermeeting we
fre studying consecutively the book
of The Revelation. Chapter four will
be studied next Wednesday evening.
Let us all read ‘this and bring our
Bibles to church with us and follow
the pastor as he comments upon the
Scripture lesson. In this way you
will not only better rivet your atten
tion on .the subject but will feel that
you are actually taking part in the
'service.” We are glad to note that
the attendance at these mid-week
| services is increasing but there is still
room for great improvement. Lay
aside every thing next Wednesday
evening and come to prayer meeting.
You will not only feel that you have
done your duty but will be furnished
with new and fresh religious thought
to help you along life's way.
Duplex “envelopes dre being dis
tributed among our membership. TQ:
pastor i 8 exceedingly anxious that
each member shall procure and use
regularly these envelopes; he. is
specially desirous that the younger
members shall begin now to develop
this characteristic grace of Christ
like benevolence and christian wor
ship. The regular use of these en
velopes will undoubtedly lead to suc
cess while the careless orjindifferent
use of them is sure to lead to failure,
therefore let us make our contribu
tion every Sunday morning as God
has prospered us and we shall then
have abundant funds for every pur
pose.
A lively interést is being taken in
the Sunday School and the attendance
is increasing. We would still like to
see, however, a larger number of our
older church members present from
week to week' The Bible class will
conduct the opening exercises Sunday
morning. The programs rendered by
the children of Mrs. Robinson’s class
and Mrs. W. C. Ivey's class on the
third and fourth Sundays of Febru
ary respectively were very creditable
and greatly enjoyed by us all. ‘ |

May Travel Home in Motor Trucks
From El Paso—Estimated Trip
Will Require 45 Days.
El Paso, Texas, March 6.—Plans to
send the entire Georgia brigade of
infantry home across country in' mo
tor trucks are being worked out in
the office quartermaster department
and if all arrangements can be com
pleted the -brigade will leave El Paso
some time in the next few weeks.
The trip is to be made by way cos
New Orleans. It is estimated that it
will require 45 days. No definite an
nouncement has been made that the
plan will be carried out although it is
admitted that the details are being
discussed and that it is probable that
this means of transportation will be
the one used to convey the Georgia
troops to their home station.
To Use 300 Trucks.
Approximately 300 motor trucks of
the type that came into service at the
time of the punitive expedition and
many of the same trucks that were
used in Mexico will be needed to
make the trip. Heavy baggage and
equipment together with horses will
be sent by freight. Enroute the men
will use pup tents and will be fed
from kitchen trucks.
Should the plans be approved this
trip will be the ?;ngest ever taken by
military forces of considerable size in
motor trucks. According to the ten
tative plans five days of each week
will be spent en route and the re
maining two days will be used for re
pairs to trucks and to allow the men
to rest. \ :
Stops will be made in every city of
interest and parades will be held in
principal cities. Shortage of railroad
equipment is said to be one of the
chief arguments in favor of the plans.

R. L. Davis, clerk of the superior

DEATH OF MRS. MOSS
Aged Lady Died at Home Near This
City on Friday, February the
Twenty-Eighth, 1917,
(Special to The News)—At dawn
on Wednesday morning as the sun
was palmll}g the eastern skies with
red and gcid the Death Angel came
and touched with his icy fingers the
brow of Mrs. Lucy Moss and bore her
spirit to a home beyond the skies.
Her death was a great shock to her
many relatives and friends.
All that loving hands could do was
done for her during her illness to
stay the hand of the grim reaper but
God saw best to take her to her home
of rest. And on the 28th day of Feb
ruary, 1917, she left this world of
storms and sorrow to dwell with her
Master forevermore. Like the beau
tiful flowers that covered her casket
this noble life has been withered by
the ruthless hand of death. If a mes
sage could be conveyed from the land
to which she has gone she would say
to her loved ones:
O stay thy flowing tears,
Thy weeping is in vain;
I am not lost, for we in Heaven,
Shall one day meet again.
“Aunt Lucy,” as she was called,
was loved by all who knew her, both
old and young. All the echildrea
loved “Grannie,” as they called her.
Oh how Wwe shall miss her bright
smiles. Her chair is empty now, a
place is vacant which never can be
filled. Sobbing loved ones earnestly
pleaded for relief at the hands of the
great Heavenly physician but it avail
ed nothing. Oh how sad when I re
call the many times I have written
%the last tribute of love to the memory
of departed friends, and I think
So many voices have been hushed;
So many songs have ceased for aye;
'SO’ many hands I loved to touch
Are folded now over hearts of clay.
. Death to us is appalling, its mys
stand why it lays its cold hand on the
'brightest jewels, the most useful and
most needed.
The 'writer had the pleasure of
knowing “Aunt Lucy” for a number
of years. She was always jolly and
kind and had a glad smile for every
one whom she met, Mrs. Moss will be
greatly mlnsed.by a large circle of
relatives and friends. She was 84
years old af®the time of her death.
She is survived by one son, Mr. J.
W. Moss, of Bethel; and eight grand
children, also twelve great-grand
children.
r After the grave was closed and
‘flowers placed the loved ones left her
with a sad farewell. May they be
comforted to know that God does all
things well and angels will watch
her peaceful slumbers and one day
they will meet her in that home
where Jesus dwells.
