Selling goods on Sunday is contra

store on the Lord’s day does not add 1
to the respectable appearance ofa
town. The merchants arc respect-j

Dear Bulletin:
On the Second Sunday of May we
<re going to begin at Gordon a reviv
■ i.l meeting, and hope this meeting to
!>e the greatest revival of Christian
faith ever held in the county. One
hat the devil will object to. One
that will bo actually a religious, last
ing, constructive force.
We have secured for these serv
ices a pastor in the North Georgia
Conference who began life at the bot
tom and battled, bruised and bang
ed and bled his way till he was,
when he went into the ministry, one
•of the leading salesmen of the city of
Atlanta Too, we have a man to
sing for uh who can acceptably sing
on any rostrum in the country, and
' Tom Waller will play the piano. Tom
iis the very best pianist, in Georgia,
; and that’s enough.
Remember the date and come.

Every white school in the courity
has responded to the call of the Gov

Labor Census. For the past week.

Onlyhi;e la;ger pupils are entrust

them volunteered to work all day on;
Saturday in the cause. These pupils
are asked to go to each farmer and!
M out the blank, carrying it back to 1
the teacher, who wilt return it to the!
County School Superintendent.
As to the reason for this Census,
the Government, realizing that the
farmer is the most important factor in
the great war of today, is now taking
a greater interest in his welfare than

askid. This should be amwered very
carefully by the farmer as the govern- !
ment is already engaged iu enlisting j
a volunteer labor reserve for the pur-'
pose of assisting those fafmers need
ing help. Then too there is consid-1,
crable agitation over the closing of
those industries which are not abso
lutely necessary during war time, j
thus releasing a vast amount of labor. ;
There are further questions as to:
the number of livestock, the acreage
of the various crops, fruit trees and :
seed. These are for a two fold ) ur
pose: one to give information to the
government as to whether we will be
self-sustaining; the other to assist ■
those farmers who ci‘.ivr wish to buy
or sell any of these commodities. Ev
e w farmer should see that as accurate
! a census as possible is taken lor his :
community.
