NEWNAN HERALD
NEWNAN, FRIDAY, DEC. 24.
Missionary Rally.
The Woman's Missionary Society of
Bethlehem church held an all-day meet
ing on Saturday, 18th inst. To say that
the meeting was a success but mildly
expresses it. Dr. J. S. Hardaway,
of Newnan, preached at 11 a. m. His
subject was "Building an Altar to God,"
and the manner in which he handled his
subject was enough to satisfy his hear
ers that he had not only studied his
theme from a theological standpoint,
but had also builded an altar and given
himself a living sacrifice to God.
After the spiritual man had been fed
by such a good sermon the ladies of the
community came forth with re
freshments for the physical man, nnd
you would have thought from the
quantity of edibles spread that they
must have had assurances from all the
women of the county that they would
be on hand. If so, they were disap
pointed; but those who went there to
get a bountiful supply of spiritual and
physical food did not go away unsatis
fied. We were glad to have our old
friends and neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. E.
E. Fry, of Lutherville, with us.
We think the day well spent, that it
brought us closer together, and that
we made some progress in the Master's
work. Visitor.

PROGRESSIVE RURAL
LEADERSHIP NEEDED
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College Of Agriculture
What are you doing us an individ
ual citizen in your community to aid
in its development and progress?
Probably there is more opposition
in the rural districts to the introduc
tion and establishment of new ideals
than elsewhere. This is in part due
to the isolation which obtains in the
open country, and to the fact that the
farmer must depend on his own judg
ment, and, therefore, formulate his
own opinions about most questions.
It is unfortunate, however, that |
there should be any prejudice against
agricultural education or against agri
cultural science, for only through the
agency of science can we discover
those new truths upon which a per
manent type of practice is based. As
a matter of fact, it lias been extreme
ly difficult to induce many farmers
o use preventive serum for the con
trol of hog cholera. A long and bit
ter fight has been waged. to get rid
of the cattle tick, and it is only re
cently that a substantial degree of
progress has been witnessed. Farm
ers have been opposed to the introduc-
ion of new and labor-saving imple
ment. They have said, for instance,
that draft horses could not he main-
ained successfully on our farms, They
have thought that beef cattle could
not be raised profitably. The dairy in
dustry lias been neglected because of
the change in methods of manage
ment and practice it involves. As
many of our hoys have not been sent
to college as should have been be
cause of the general belief that agri
cultural education was not worth
while. Insects have been allowed to
depredate our field and plant diseases
to ravage our crops because the sug
gestions made relative to the control
of diseases and insects were thought
to be impractical by the average farm
er.
These conditions do not represent
the ideals of the constructive type of
citizenship. The failure to utilize the
stores of knowledge at the command
of the farmer holds back progress
and militates against the development
of the community. The good citizen
endeavors to inform himself about
such matters and to aid in their wide
dissemination. Are you a good citi
zen? If not, think this matter over
seriously and assume that position of
leadership and that place of responsi
bility among your neighbors which
will enable them to secure all the
knowledge available concerning their
profession.
Senoia Citizen Fatally Stricken.
Senoia, Ga., Dec. 12—Wm. J, Har-
1 per, a prominent citizen of Senoia, died
Sunday morning at 11 o’clock from
; heart failure. He had been in poor
i health for several days, but was thought
to be better. He had gone to church,
and was sitting in his usual place when
death struck him. He lived only u few
seconds.
Mr. Harper was born in Spalding
1 county, his parents dying when only u
small boy. He worked hard when young,
1 and accumulated a nice fortune. At the
time of his dealh he was a member of
the City Council and a director in the
First National Bank of this city, be
sides having considerable farming in
terests in Coweta and Fayette counties.
He was 55 years of age, and was a
prominent and popular citizen. He is
survived by his wife nnd a number of
other relatives.

Colds Need Attention.
Internal throat and chest troubles
produce inflammation, irritation, swell
ing or soreness, and unless checked at
once, are likely to lead to serious
trouble. Caught in time Dr. Bell’s
Pine-Tar-Honey loosens the phlegm
and destroys the germs which have
settled in the throat or nose. It is
soothing and healing. Pine is antisep
tic; honey is soothing —both together
possess excellent medicinal qualities
for fighting cold germs. Insist on Dr.
Bell’s Pine-Tar-Honey. 25c. at all

To Weak, Nervous, Run-Down Women
So. Cumberland, Md.—"For n long
time I Buffered from a nervouR break
down. 1 could not eat or sleep nnd was
so weak 1 could hardly walk. My hus
band heard about Vinol and got me to
try it. Now 1 have a good appetite,
sleep soundly and am well and strong.
Every nervous, weak, run-down woman
should try Vinol.—Mrs. D. W. KERNEL
Vinol is a delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, without oil, which we guarantee
to create a healthy appetite, aid diges
tion and make pure healthy blood.

War Upon Pain.
Pain is a visitor to every home, nnd
usually it comes quite unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emer
gency if you keep a small bottle of
Sloan’s Liniment handy. It is the
greatest pain-killer ever discovered.
Simply laid on the skin -no rubbing
required—it drives the pain away. It
is really wonderful. Mcrvin 11. Sois-
ter, Berkely, Cal., writes; ‘'Last Sat
urday. after tramping around the Pan
ama Exposition with wet feet, 1 came
home with my neck so stiff that 1
couldn’t turn. 1 applied Sloan’s Lini
ment freely and went to bed. To my
surprise, the next morning the stiff
ness had almost disappeared. Four
hours after the second application 1
was as good as new. March, 1915.”
At druggists, 25c.
Seventy-five steps n minute is the av
erage walking pace of a healthy man
or woman.
Help Your Liver—it Pays.
When your liver gets torpid and
your stomach acts queer, .take Dr.
King’s New Life Pills and vou will
find yourself fueling better. They pu
rify the blood, give you freedom from
constipation, biliousness, dizziness and
indigestion. You feel line—just like
you want to feel. Clear the complex
ion, too. 25c. at druggists’.
You’ll never get into trouble for
something you haven’t said.

Easy to Take; No
Pain or Ache.
It’s no longer necessary to bear the
weakening sickness and terrible nausea
that always follows a dose of calomel.
Liv-Ver-Lax cleanses the torpid liv
er, and livens up the whole system by
ridding it of the clogging poisons. Yet
it works so gently and pleasantly that
you hardly know you’ve taken it.
Liv-Vek-Lax, being purely vegetn
ble, is absolutely harmless, and does
not tear up the system like calomel.
And it’s guaranteed to be satisfactory,
or the druggist will return your money.

Corn at 80c a bushel is worth $2S.5G

$8.00. A ton of cotton seed meal is
worth $31.92 for fertilizer. A ton of
butter, on the other hand, at 30c a
pound, is worth $600 and contains
only 64 cents’ worth of fertility. The
only element of fertility in butter is
the small amount of nitrogen found
in the curd.
A dairy cow voids about 12 tons
of solid and liquid manure in a year.
Many experiments have shown that it
is worth from $2.50 to $3.50 a ton in
increased crop yields.
The dairy man must have pasture

and gradually increases in fertility.

Fall and winter are suitable for
planting trees and shrubs on the home
grounds. Put the shrubs about the
base of the house, the corners of
walks, intersections of roads, around
edges and in the corners of the lawn,
but never in its center.
Avoid straight lines in planting.
Good shrubs to use are the various
spirias, barbara, privets, cape jasa-
mine, tea olive, various crataegii, Eng
lish laurel, narrow leaf evergreens,
arbor vitae and junipers.
Shade trees should be planted
around the lawn, along the walks, at
the intersection of roads, walks. Oaks
are very desirable, water, live and
pin oaks being excellent. Magnolias,
maples, particularly Norway maples;
sycamore; in certain sections, elms;
and evergreen trees such as deodora
cedar, Hymalian pine and ordinary
pines may be planted.
