County News Items Interesting Facts Gathered During thy Week by Our Regular Correspondents. \ 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 pric<s this fall, but the outlook is dis 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? Miss Tullu Spears left to day for At lanta. after so-nding the simmer with her mother, Mrs. 0 P. 8p>ars.

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. Scott & Uuwnc. lUuoaificlO, N. J.
