NEWNAN HERALD NEWNAN, FRIDAY. AUG. 6. ONK DOLLAR A YEAR IN ADVANCE. LONE OAK. (Broajtht ovmt from laM work.) Interesting services at Prospect last Sunday were conducted by the pastor, Rev. C. H. Branch, both forenoon and evening, and were attended by large congregations. The pastor was enter tained for the day in the home of Mr. and Mrs. .las. Willingham. Misses Marie and Marguerite Sewell returned Friday from visits to relatives and friends in Atlanta and Tate. Misses M. E. Herring, Hilda Justias and Lillian Sewell were with Lone Oak relatives last Sunday. Mrs. Alice Ragland, of Odessadale, is the guest of Mrs. Forrest Rosser. Mr. and Mrs. Cal Harman, of Odessa- dale, with their baby boy, motored to I/one Oak last Sunday and were guests in the home of Mr. J. T. Turner. Mr. and Mrs. Fuller Todd entertained a pleasant party of young people Sun day, consisting of Miss Myra Sima and her brother of Ilogansville, Miss Mamie Woodruff, of St. Marks, Miss Jimmie Hamby and Mr. Clarence Smith, of Forest. Miss Lizzie Smith, of Hogansville, is the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Ernest Proux. Messrs. H. I- Culpepper and B. E. Wise, in their autos, with a number of pleasure-seeking citizens, wont up to New river, in Heard county, Monday morning for a couple of days’ fishing, and spent a very successful nnd enjoy- ablu day. But nightfall brought a host of tiny but unconquerable foes in the form of mosquitos, making a night of camping-out quite unendurable, and "home, sweet borne,” was the coveted refuge. Tuesday afternoon a largo crowd as sembled at the Lone Oak ball ground to witness a game between the Hogans- ville and Lutherville teams. The result, as reported, was 13 to lf> in favor of Lntherville. A protracted meeting at Prospect church has been announced by the pas tor, to begin with a service on Monday evening, Aug. 2. Mrs. Robert Powledge, after spend ing some months with her daughter, Mrs. Henry Hunt, is uguin with her Lone dak children. July 2Hlh. Use the Country Church More. Tlit* I’roirrt'iwivu Farmer. Our Southern farmers are just be ginning to co-operate. Formerly they not only would not co operate when liv- twg, but they would not co-operate even when dead. All over the South one linds family burying-groundl going to ruin and "looking as if they did not believe in a resurrection,” ns I)r. Knapp used to say. In view of the frequent changes in land ownership in the South, it is a mistake to have family burying-grounds; and we believe also that the community spirit would be fostered by abandoning the practice and substituting church cemeteries. Then with unnual “clean up days” to keep them in order, our rtnal burying-places might be made ob jects of beauty instead of examples of carelessness and neglect, as is now the general rule. Anothei thought that cannot be too often emphasized in this—that every where the country church ought to he a genuine social center for the communi ty, a "meeting-house” indeed, and not •imply a place to hour preaching once a week or once a month. The writer passed an old church the other day said to be ISO years old. “But thire was never a marriage in it until just a few weeks ago,” u friend said to us as wo passed. Why should not more country people have church weddings, making a marriage an occasion for celebration and rejoicing by all the friendly neigh borhood? Anything that helps get our people out of the individualism of the past and helps develop the community spirit ought to be enconragcd. the Cruelty in Children. "Thoughtless and unfeeling con duct in children,” say-B a writer, “which rapidly develops into downright cruelty, is exercised first and most largely toward the brute creation, be cause of its helplessness and larger op portunity. It may begin very early. An innocent baby will, in his exuberant happiness, squeeze a poor kitten nearly to death, and try/to put hiB fingers into its eyes; hut the baby's innocence is no reason for allowing him a pastime which gives pain to a living creature. The kitten has rights thBt even a baby can be taught to respect; and the baby has the right to an early training which will makejhim by and by a benevolent and humane member of society, and not a thoughtless one.” From the societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children we can learn how often little children are cruelly treated by those who ought to protect them. It is hut a natural sequence. When the father was a baby he tormented the kitten; as a boy he abused the dog; as a large boy he bullied the smaller one, and as husband and father he tyran nizes over wife and children. He has never learned to control his temper; he has never known what it is to protect the weak; he has never learned to re gard the feelings of others —what can you expect of him now? The child’s sense of justice is keen, and he knows when he is punished it is simply because father or mother is in a temper and muHt vent it upon something. Is it any wonder, then, that the child grows Hurly and resentful, that he learns readily to deceive, and that the life of the father is repeated over again in the child? When the Stork Arrives. Macon Ncwh. The doctor steps out in the hall and says, “A line one—a girl, though.” The proud, though somewhat anxious father bIIowb a dicker of disappoint ment to show on his fuce for a second, hut Bays, "Well, I’m glad it’s a girl—I wanted a girl myself.” The doctor, having heard that same thing many times, only smiles. And the mother, bravely and silently swallowing her disappointment when the young lady is presented to her, says that she, too, is glad it is a girl. Cirls, you know, (and father and mother both agree to this in the inevit able after-discussion,) are much better than hoys, easier to raise, stay at home more, and are a greater comfort to their parents. It does not matter that they had pickedjout a boy’s name. It is not men tioned that they had planned for him to be a great lawyer, or Governor, or President, or something of the sort. Father, however, continues to assert— and we must admire him for the way in which he hides his disappointment from mother—that he wanted a girl all the time. But why this preference for the boy? —this discrimination against the girl? Why do the neighbors all say, depre- eatingly, "Yes, it’s a girl!" The News knows of no good reason at all, and in behalf of all girl babies the world over we enter this protest. Irreparably Ripped. Saturday Evcninir Twit.

More Feed for Stock More Stock to Feed. The riwrp«8ivo Farmor. There’s no getting nway from this big fact: We need here in the South, first of all, more feed for our livestock, and then more livestock to feed. There’s no getting round our urgent need of more feed crops; we need these, millions of bushels of grain and thou sands of tons of hay, because no coun try can ever become a livestock-produc ing country, nor claim to be a country of even half-way good farmers, that de pends upon imported food and feed stuff's. Hence, we deem it of primary importance, in urging the production of more livestock on Southern farms, to couple with it the admonition to grow an abundance of feed crops. We must never forget that feed is of more importance than breed, and that in the South far too many pure-bred animals have degenerated into worth less scrubs through lack of adequate feed and the belief that they could shift for themselves. At the same time there must be acquired the knowledge that will enable us to properly balance our feeds and feed them to the best ad vantage. Despondency Due to Indigestion. "About three months ago when I was suffering from indigestion, which caused headache and dizzy spells and made me feel tired and despondent, 1 began tak ing Chamberlain's Tablets.” writes Mrs. Geo, Hon, Macedon, N. Y. "This med icine proved to be the very thing 1 needed, as one day’s treatment reli ved me greatly. I used two bottles of Cham- beriain’s T ibleis and they rid me of the trouble.” Obtainable everywhere. Belves to save the accused. The Judge appointed the leading lawyer of the district to represent the darky, and at the close of the trial His ; Honor charged the jury in such fashion that it would have been little short of contempt of court upon their part to fail to acquit. Nevertheless, the jurors, to the sur prise of all present, especially the de fendant, came in very promptly with a verdict of guilty. "Jerry.” said the Judge regretfully, having in mind the memory of many superior mint jutepB which Jerry had mixed for him, “it is my painful duty to pronounce sentence upon you. Have you anything to say before I fix your punishment?” "Well, suh, Jedge,” said Jerry, “I been sort of tuck up short and I reckin’ dey ain’t much use of me talkin’ now. But, Jedge, I will say jest dis: I don’t hear you no gredge. Seems lak to me you tried fur to let me off mighty light. And de gen’lman dat you 'pinted to fend me, he done hiss’f proud and I thanks him. Even de persecutin’ at torney gimme a good word. But, Jedge, dat jury—it suttingly is done tore its pants wid me!” Inform the Editor. One of the most difficult of the edi tor's jobs is to get facts about births, marriages and deaths. People seem to think ho ought to know these things by intuition. If not that, a birth, marriage or death is of such impor tance in the immediate family that it is presumed the editor will be informed by wireless of the information. Thtn, when the paper comes out, and no men tion is made of the event, the editor is blamed for not running a good news paper, or not getting all the news. Re member, there are a good many people in this country. If the editor knew by name, the family history, and the chief events in the lives of every indi vidual, he wouldn’t be an editor. He’d be a demi-god, resting bis feet on a cloud and sipping ambrosia instead of inhabiting a broken-down office chair and wondering where the money for the next paper bill is coming from. The life of the average newspaper man is a gay one. Gathering news is Becond nature with him, like picking his teeth with the office pen and cussin’ the office towel. Just the same, there’s a limit to his omniscience. Last week we thought of a million things of im portance, besides a couple of hundred thousand things unworthy of mention. And it was a slow week. We’re anx ious to get news for the paper, and it won’t put you out much to drop by the office or telephone us what’s happening at your house. Then if the item doesn't get in the paper you have a right to come down and kick the stuffin' out of the office cat. Otherwise, don’t blame us. “This thing of painting farm houses is mighty catching,” said an observant man to us the other day. ’You let Bill Jones paint his house and have all the passers-by admiring it, and the next thing you know Tom Brown and Henry Sykes say, 'Well, Bill Jones ain’t no better than I am, and I guess my folks are as much entitled to a painted house as his are.' So they paint, too.” It's a mighty good sort of contagion to be going round. Paint pays not only in preserving lumber, but in giving new pride and dignity to the family in the painted house. A farmer in a painted house seems to rather feel that he has lined up with the progressive folks, has advertised himself as such, and that it's up to hint to make good.—The Progres sive Farmer. No one ever appreciates the grudg ingly granted favor. CAN YOU DOUBT IT? When the Proof Can Be so Easily Investigated.

I want to sit on my dinky porch and pull away at a five-cent torch, and mark the growth of the sparrow grass, or pull the weeds from the garden sass. I want to tinker around at dawn, and nail a board where I see one gone, or tie a string to a pumpkin vine, and know that every thing is mine. I'd rather live in a shackly cot, with a lop-eared cow in the stable lot, and a barbed wire fence and a row of trees and a swaybacked dog and a swarm of bees, and have no debts that would spoil my Bleep, than have a donjon keep and a mortgage big as the village square, though pomp and splendor were reigning there. To have a home and be out of debt—well, that is truly the best scheme yet. UGH! CALOMEL MAKES YOU SICK. DON’T STAY BILIOUS, CONSTIPATED It may have been indigestion that made the whale give Jonah up.
