TURIN. 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.

Fields are white, and the low price for it is enough to make them "blue.” Direct reports from Soutli Georgia say that a number of plantations will lie out next year; consequently, the “nigger and a mule” will not he such familiar objects on the "Red Old Hills of Georgia” for one year at least.

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.
