We deeply regret the death of our
old friend, Prof. Wm. T. Freeman,
which occurred a few days ago at his
home in Senoia. He was a faithful
Christian and good citizen, and the
church and community as well as his
family have sustained a loss that is
sincerely deplored. The bereaved
relatives have ou* sympathy.
Mr. John D. Johnson, who has been
under treatment at Johns Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore, returned home
a few days ago, and his many friends
will be rejoiced to know that he is
much improved. He has been re
lieved of a trouble that had caused him
great suffering, and it is hoped now
that he will soon be fully restored.
We regret to learn that Mr. Giles
McCullough is quite sick. Unless there
should be a change for the better it is
feared he cannot survive many days.
He is a good man, and has the sympa
thy of everyone in his affliction.
The low price of cotton causes a
gloom that hangs like a pall over our
farmers.
Owning to the threatening weather
wg failed to reach our appointment at
Pleasant Hill on Sunday last, which
we very much regretted."
A “peace prayer” service was held
at the Methodist church Sunday even
ing, Christians of all denominations
uniting for the object named. Let us
hope that our prayers will be speedily
answered, and that the warring nations
of Europe will lay down their arms and
restore peace to the world.

Your Fall Cold Needs Attention.
No U9e to fuss and try to wear it out.
It will wear you out instead. Take
Dr. King’s New Discovery; relief fol
low quickly. It checks your cold and
soothes your cough away. Pleasant,
antiseptic and healing. Children like
it. Get a 50c. bottle of Dr. King's
New Discovery and keep it in the
house. “Our family Cough and Cold
Doctor,” writes Lewis Chamberlain,
Manchester, Ohio. Money back if not
satisfied, but it nearly always helps.

Baby of Future
is Considered
Much thought has born given In late
years to the subject of maternity. In
the cities there are maternity hospitals
equipped with modern methods. But
most women prefer their own homes and
in the towns and villages must prefer
them. And since this is true we know
from the great many splendid letters
written on the subject that our “Mother’s
Friend” is a great help to expectant
mothers. They write of the wonderful
relief, bow it seemed to allow the
muscles to expand without undue strain
and what a splendid influence It was on
the nervous system. Such helps *as
“Mother’s Friend” and the broader
knowledge of them should have a helpful
influence upon habit s of the future.
Science says that an infant derives its
sense and builds its character from
cutaneous impressions. And a tranquil
mother certainly will transmit a more
healthful influence than if she is ex
tremely nervous from undue pain. This
is what a host of \vom< n believe who
used “Mother's Friend.”

plained in a little book mailed free.
