Tom Swint, whose philosophy is usu
ally as sound as the groceries he sells,
says “if there is only one bottle of cas
tor oil in the house, father is willing
mother should have it all, because it
will do her good. But if there is only
one bottle of beer in the house, father
drinks it himself, because it might not
agree with mother.”

ed to assist .Robert B. Mantell in his

on Washington’s birthday wus Mr. Rob
ert Hill Freeman, of Newnan. Mr.
Freeman showed his versatility by ap
pearing in three parts during the course

forum, where Marc Antony delivers his
wonderful oration. Mr. Mantell was
delighted with the assistance given him
by the students of Columbia Univer
sity in this difficult Shakesperian drama,
and especially with the work of Mr.
Freeman, who is a law Btudent at the

An Occasion of Inspiration.
The spacious home of Mr. and Mrs.
G. E. Barks was thrown open Friday
evening for the celebration of Washing
ton’s birthday by the Young People’s
Forward Movement of the First Meth
odist church. Gold and amber were
the prevailing colors in the decorations
and refreshments. Miss Mary Kathe
rine Parks welcomed her guests in a be
coming colonial costume, as were
dressed several other characters, name
ly: George Washington, Martha Wash
ington, Dolly Madison, Betsy Ross,
“Liberty,” and others. Fifty young
people were present, besides " their
leaders—Mrs. T. E. Atkinson, Mrs. M.
B. Mooney, Mrs. R. J. Barnett, Mrs.
Jas. Thoroughman, and several privi
leged guests, who engaged the rendi
tion of important events in the estab
lishment of our government and church,
when our republic was young, und even
before its birth.
Miss Zebeline Murray, as Susannah
Wesley, was an attractive figure in
costume of black. The Wesleys divided
honors with Washington in service to
the nation. John and Charles Wesley
were presented, and a brief history of
each was given by their representa
tives. Their songs, “Jesus Lover of
My Soul," and others, were sung with
as much spirit as “America" and "Star
Spangled Banner.” Betsy Ross, maker
of the first American flag, demonstra
ted how she with one clip of her scis
sors cut the five-pointed star, that
decorated “Old Glory. ” We wore told
in the same historic building where the
(lag was made President] Wilson is
having a handsome national (lag made,
the Governor of each State contribut
ing a star, the llag io be unfurled at
the opening of the Panama Canal, while
all over the United StateB bunds will
play “The Star Spangled Banner.”
Thomas Jefferson, author of and the
singers of the Declaration of Indepen
dence were seated around a table, und
each roBe and gave his name and State.
The history of the first Methodist
church in America, built on St. John
street, New York, with the name of its
pastor, (Mr. Esnbry,) a description of
the building, und the congregation of
five souls at the first service, was
given. On the same site now stands a
35-story building, the thirty-fifth story
used for a church. Mrs. Atkinson dis
played the (lags of the different nations,
but above them all waB raised “Old
Glory.” She said there was only one
(lag we were willing should be waved
higher, and that was “the conquering
banner of the Cross, with healing in its
wings.”
Wm. Askew, jr., president of the
movement, presided in a very self-pos
sessed manner. He, too, is the descen
dant of a hero, being great-great-grand
son ef Rev. Dabney Junes, who de
livered the first sermon ever preached
in Newnan. He was also temperunce
evangelist for the State of Georgia.
Mrs. Parks is a most charming and
gracious hostess, and baby Frances
gave a smile of welcome for every
caress.
At this meeting the members of the
Forward Movement pledged money
enough, to be paid monthly, to employ
a bible woman in Korea;—but a bright
boy present Haid “pledging is one thing,
but paying is another.”
One Who Enjoyed the Occasion.

Garden Seeds
That Grow
We make quite a specialty of
garden seeds. Buying only from
the best seedsmen, consequent
ly our seed stock is dependable,
and the varieties are of the very
finest improved strains. For
years we have supplied the same
customers with their garden
seeds, and these are among the
best gardeners in town. They
buy of us because they can de-
I>eml on the quality of the seeds
we sell. They take no chances,
and they got results that count.
<L Due of our customers made
an interesting experiment with
Irish potatoes last year, planting
half a patch with our seed and
the other half with ordinary
seed, with results that were con
vincing to her, for the common
seed scarce returned the seed
planted, while our potatoes pro
duced an abundant crop. There
is no doubt about it—it pays to
be sure of your seed, and the
best way to be sure Is to let us
supply you.
