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. Motor Rural Carrier Examination. The United States Civil Service Com mission has announced an examination for the county of Coweta, Ga., to be held at Newnan on Jan. 22, 1916, to fill the position of motor rural carrier at Grantville, Newnan and Senoia, and vacancies that may occur on motor ru ral routes from post offices in the above mentioned county.

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. Holiday Fares Are much lower than the regular fares.

"Curfew” comes from two French words, “couvefeu,” which mean “cov er fire.” 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.

Howell, Dairy State College Of A ton of wheat at is worth $33.33, and worth of soil fertility Expert, Georgia Agriculture $1.00 a bushel removes $9.59 from the soil. Corn at 80c a bushel is worth $2S.5G a ton and removes fertility worth $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 hay land. His soil does not wash and gradually increases in fertility. Every garden spot in our state is an example of the value of barnyard manure. Home Landscape Gardening T. H.

M. “Fishes can’t talk, can they?” “Haven’t you ever heard of whales spouting?” 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. GREETINGS!
