of the First Baptist church presented

following
Thompsi
poem, composed

by .r
object—
Ah sun Bhinea on the dreary earth
With balmy light and healthful ray,
We fain would bring as symbol true
Some gift of love from day to day.
And we would waft from pray’rful hearts
Sweet messages of hope to thee:
Good health, and cheer, and lengthened days,
We trust your future lot may be.
Draw out one ribbon every day
And And the tokon which it brings;
Remembrances, tho* small they be.
Are sent as friendship's offerings.
Each gift bore a measage of love, and
among the cleverest rhymes was this
from one of Neman's most popular
young matrons—
The love for this dear dame.
With all our families the same,
For seventy-five years and more,
For generations four,
Has been handed down
In this self-same town;
So with these nuts so brown
My love I send 'round,
To you. Miss Mary.
Who Is never contrary,

The voices, in ensemble, were mag
nificent, the upper parts clear and ring
ing, and the lower resonant and big
in tone, with a balance and quality that
made each number a gem. From the
deep fervor displayed in the somewhat
- weird national songs to the melodious
nonsense of Genee’s "Italia Salad,”
the ladieB gave every evidence of high
vocal attainment. * * * The choir’s
work was of the highest order, and tells
■ mightily for Madam Hughes-Thomas’
skill as a trainer. The enthusiastic
audience demanded encores over and
over again—the last number bringing
four, with insatiable encore fiends
clamoring for more— Hamilton (Can

tral Baptist church will be entertained
next Friday afternoon by the class
leader, Mrs. R. D. Cole, at her home
on E. Broad street. This class was
organized Beven years ago. The ef
fective work that is being done means
much, not only in the life of the church,
but the resultB are most wholesome in
the life of the community. The spirit
of co-operation evidenced by each mem
ber is indeed helpful to the earnest and
inspiring leader, who is ever ready to
promote the good of the class. The
programme for the afternoon has been
arranged by Mrs. Frances Drake, and
is in the nature of a Christmas enter
tainment.

Letter to Santa Claus.
Sargent, Ga., Dec. 10, 1913.
Dear Sandy:—I am a little girl 12
years old, and have a little Bister 9
years old. We live on a farm near
Sargent. We picked cotton very hard
until Nov. 24, aud then we started to
school, and have been going every day
since. Haven’t missed a single word
yet in our lessons. We have worked sc
hard we think you will be good and
kind to us and bring ub a lotof presents.
We would like to have a little stove, a
doll bed, two dolls, and a lot of con
fectioneries.
Dear Sandy, I have one more request
to make of you. We have one little
niece. Her name is Katherine, and she
lives about 15 miles from us. She is
coming to spend Xmas with us, and
we want you to remember her. She is
so little I guess a rattler or a rubber
doll will do for her. I hope I have not
asked too much of you.
Yopr little friends,
Retha and Grace Bridges.
P. S.—Den’t forget dear mamma,
think she wants a present.

Next Sunday Will Be Go-to-Church
Day in Newnan.
Is Newnan a church-going city?
Some Bay so. But listen I Last Sun
day was a fine day. Health conditions
were splendid. The attendance in some
of the churchea was larger than usual.,
We carefully counted the people that
were at church. Study these figures:
First Methodist— Membership, 690;
attendance at morning service, 253; at
tendance at evening service, 202. -
First Baptist—Membership, 630; at
tendance at morning service, 176; at
tendance at evening service, 150.
Central Baptist— Membership, 299;
attendance at morning service, 178;
attendance at evening service, 95.
Lovejoy Memorial—Membership, 234;
no morning service; no figures for,
evening service. I)
Mills Chapel — Membership, 170; hb-
service morning or evening.
Presbyterian—Membership, 141; at
tendance at morning service, 92; at
tendance at evening service, 61.
Total membership, 2,064; total at
tendance at morning service, 699; total
attendance at evening service, 60S. ( I
With a membership of 2,064, we had
less than 700 people present Sunday
morning. More than 1,365 of our mem
bers were absent, because many of the
>eople present were not members. We
lave over 4,000 white people in New
nan. Less than 700 went to church.
Mo,re than 3,800 did not go. For every
person that went to church, five stayed
away. Were they on a journey, buy
ing a piece of land, proving oxen,
marrying wives, or Bimply with one ac- .
cord making excuse? ,
Thp Master said, "Watch.” “Keep
; rour lamps , trimmed and burning.
‘Not forsaking the assembling of our
selves together, as the manner of some
is, but exhorting one another. He
went into the synagogue on the Sab
bath day, as His custom was. "Fol
low Me."

Resolutions by Woman's Missionary
Society of First Methodist Church.
Mrs. Lou Spearman, a consecrated
member of the Methodist church and
Woman’s Missionary Society, passed
from earth to heaven Oct. 14, 1913.
With a life filled with good deeds, and
with the love and admiration of those
who knew her best, another of the
saintly women whose work in our
church iB ended. She possessed gener
osity of soul, and, if her means were
limited, she always had something to
give others with the example of ex
tending the kingdom of God in the
world. A model woman in every rela
tion in which Bhe was placed, beauti
ful in her life, and self-denying in her
devotion to her family and friends, may
the lamp of religion she kept burning'
so brightly in her home illumine the
footsteps of each dear one to heaven.
After all life’s duties are faithfully,
performed, what does our dear Lordi
promise? “Be thou faithful unto death?;
and I will give thee a crown of life.” '
“Joy, joy forever! thy task Is done—
The (rates are passed, and heaven la won!"

A Valuable Suggestion.
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE
It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention,
as they control the other organs to a
remarkable degree and do a tremen
dous amount of work in removing tbe
poisons and waste matter from tbe sys
tem by filtering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor "fife, the kid
neys should receive some assistance
when needed, as we take levs exercise,
drink less water and often eat more rich,
heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys
to do more work than Nature intended.
Evidence of kidney trouble, such as
lame back, annoying bladder troubles,
smarting or burning, brick dust or sedi
ment, sallow complexion, rheumatism,
maybe weak or irregular heart action,
warns you that your kidneys require
help immediately to avoid more seriqus
trouble.
Many physicians claim that an herbal
medicine containing no minerals or opi
ates has a most healing influence. An
ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Koot by parcel post. Address
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.,
and enclose ten cents: also mention The
Newnan Herald and Advertiser.

We are earrying a larger line of middle-breakers
than ever before—not because there are more middles
to break, but because there are more people who
want to plow them the best and cheapest way.
This means ECONOMY, and more returns for la
bor. It also means that the plowing will be deeper
and more uniform.
We claim that our No. 18 plow will do more work
in less time, with less draft, than any plow made.
Turning Plows
We carry in stock any kind of turner, in one and two-horse.
When you go to buy a turner, buy the one best suited for- ypur
kind of land. The CHATTANOOGA PLOWS are better than
any other, and every one we sell is guaranteed to turn your
land. We do not have to order the parts for you; we have them
ready in stock; therefore, if you are in the market for any kind
. of plow, we ask that you look at the ChattahOdka Plows; "
