TURIN.
We left home Satuutay morning with
the intention of conducting the annual
meeting at Pleasant Hill church, but
owing to the busy time with the far
mers—fodder-pulling -we deferred our
appointment until Friday before the
fifth Sunday in the present month, at
which time we expect to have assist
ance from one or more visiting min
isters. Sunday’s service was con
ducted mainly by Prof. Stewart and
his music class. He is a fine instruc
tor. and any church or community in
need of musical instruction, either vocal
or instiumental, would no well to se
cure his services. The music Sunday
was fine, the order good, and the din
ner a feast.
While in Pleasant Hill community we
called to see Mrs. Jas. Kelley, who has
been confined to her bed for three
months. We are glad to note some im
provement in her condition, however,
and feel sure this news will be equally
gratifying to her friends.
We also paid a visit to Mr. W. H.
Miller, but a feeling of sadness per
vaded our heart as we entered the
home, because of the absence of a loved
one who whs so accustomed to welcome
us in days gone by with warm greet
ings.
We observed on our trip a marked
deterioration in crop conditions, owing
to the protracted drouth and excessive
heat of the past few weeks.
We don't know what effect Great
Britain’s embargo on cotton shipments
to neutral countries will have upon

couraging.
Judging from the comments of the
press, it would seem that the advocates
of prohibition legislation in the present
General Ass. mbly have, by their action
in forcing an extra session, rather hin-
derertd than helped their cause. In
the State Baptist Convention last fall
an ardent prohibitionist stated, in a
strong and forceful speech, that "it ;
wan easier to get a snowball through !
hell than to ret a ternnerance measure 1
through the Georgia Legislature." In
in, p.. sent cu»e, upon whom does re
sponsibility for failure rest? How did
it happen?

NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN
ever receive the proper balance of food
to sufficiently nourish both hotly and
brain during the growing period when
nature's demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, Icon bodies, frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They need
Scott's Emulsion, and need it now. It
possesses in concentrated form the very
foodi elements to enrich their blood. It
changes weakness to strength; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.
