M, FOUTE. From th Woman’s Missionary t>o- I ciety of the First Baptist church: j Sadne - fell up:n our hearts, when ,r was announced that our friend, sis ter and co-worker in the Woman’s Missionary'Society, Mrs. A. M. honte, had gone home. While we cannot over come these sad feeling, we must ‘re member that God never calls one it Lis children home until their life , work is finished. With our dear sister, it was after days and nights of patient suffering, that the Father said, "It is enough my child, come up higher.” The beautiful life was ended, and she went to live and serve ii that city not made with Lands, whose maker and builder is God. Although frail in body, it was her pleasure to serve ihe Master where ever her strength would permit. For a long time she was the-faith ful and efficient secretary and treas mor of the society. It was indeed a pleasure to work side by side with this earnest Christian woman; so consider ate of others, yet firm and courageous in her convictions of right. Truly she lived the golden rule. While we remembdr her as the gen tie, unobtrusive worker in her church, .she was also a devoted wafe’and moth er. ‘‘She looked well to the ways of her household, she eat not the bread of idleness. The heart of her husband could safely trust in her.” We the members- of the Woman’s Missionary Society extend to the fam ily our sincere sympathies in this great sorrow". May children and chil dren's children follow in her footsteps I as she followed her Saviour. We re ! joice with them in their noble herit | age, the memory of father and mother who have heard the ‘well done.” of their Lord. MRS. J. H. GILREATH, MRS. J. G. GREENE, MRS. J. J. CONNER, Com.

In the Revolution ary war it tva3 the “embattled farc ers" who fired the shot heard round the world. Today the American farmer is n-y o!fi doing something that will be heard round the world, but in a different way. The world is waiting on the Amer lean farmer for its food. Its hope is ln him. It wishes him good weather and abundant crops, and it will pay well. The fanner wifi help win battles that he will never see. For our bov s at the front will be well fed and co Ur . ageous, thanks to his industry ans patriotism. Nor is the farmer’s part in this world war—in this greatest catastrophe hig. tory has ever had to record—limited to producing food. He has his part to play before crops are ready for har vest. For right now, the nation needs the farmer’s support in a different way. It needs his co-operation on Lib arty bonds. These bonds are issued to equip our soldier boys with everything they will need for their safety, comfort and fighting strength. The government will pay every bond buyer 314 per cent in terest, free from all taxes, and will re turn to him the entire principal. Lib erty bonds are a safe, sure, profitable investment. It is the hop# of President Wilion that not a single farmer in th* coun try will be seen without a Liberty bond burton in his buttonhole. Fall Irish Potatoes T. H. Me Hatton, Professor of Horti. culture. State College of Agri. 4 The farmers of northern Georgia should lay their plans to put in a large crop of fall Irish potatoes. If transportation is tied up this fall and winter, it will not be possible for us to call on Maine and the other pota to producing states for our supplies. They will have to be produced at home. The North Georgia farmer can make a good fall Irish potato crop; and if the farmers of this section will give this matter due consideration, we should be able to produce in our mountain sections enough potatoes to carry Georgia through until the spring crop comes in from the south ern portion of the state. This is the time to show to the rest of the country what the mountain soils of North Georgia can do. To Cure a Cold in One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine.
