P.eportvt] In Secretary
The Womans Missionary Society of
the Methodist Church met in the hos
pitable home of Mrs. J. Ii. Duncan,
Monay afternoon, at two thirty, with
twenty members present and three
visitors, Miss Mattie Timmons, of
Temple, Mrs. Mead Connettieut and
Mrs J. E. Phillips.
The meeting wa s opened with a
song after which the Bible Lesson, “In
Christ Man Receives a New Life Prin
cipal”, being reud in a very impressive
manner by Mrs Hewitt, followed with
a prayer by Miss Timmons.
The meeting was made unusually
attractive by the presence of Miss
Mattie Timmons, who is a storage
battery of enthusiasm and inspiration.
She gave echoes from the tenth An
nual Conference recently held in Wes
ley Memorial Atlanta, as being best
she ever attended. A bit of history in
regard to details of work was given
in a very instructive and impressive
way. Her enthusiasm is catching and
I just wish every member not only of
the Auxiliary, but of the church could
know her and have heard the report.
Her wholesome happy spirit and
wholesouled devotion to the Master
and His cause, is, and would be more
infections if it were possible to have
such a helpfull life so rich in God’s
work to be thrown constantly with us.
One other attractive number for
the afternoon, a reading, “How I
Learned Givin,” by Mrs. A. W. Mc
Larty, was throughly enjoyed by every
one present.
The meeting was closed with a
short impressive prayer by Mrs. M.
N. Hawley.
In another column will be found the
annoucement of Judge J. H. McLarty,
ho is a candidate to succeed himself
the office of ordinary.

fiable excuse for it? Nay, verily, not
one. The true and only reason is the
jealousy of rulers and greediness of
eomerce. No one else under the shin
ing sun wants militarism in any form.
Europe is now drinking of the bitter
cup of the after effect of militarism.
Can you pull back the dark veil that

ture and vote for a demented savage
called by courtesy “a man,” who would
institute and run down our throats
the same system that turned Europe
into a pack of bloody hounds and set
them at one another’s throats?
No, pardner, I’m not for militarism
in any form whatever, but if anyone
feels a gnawing sensation in his gall
to want to kill somebody he is a mur
derer. And if you are riding astraddle
of any such desire, you have my per
mission to wrap your grad-daws

with old Caranza a.id Villa’s third |
degree order of hyphenated fools, who i
are willing to have their digestive i
acou trements shot out and scattered
over a ten-acre field just to please j
the power-craving quidunks of ras- j
cality.
Anyone who can conscientiously |
vote for such a system is hard-boiled |
enough to wander through the deso- ,
late regions of the dammed and never j

I say durn militarism in what is
supposed to be a free and Christian
ized country.
When old sores and heartaches are
about healed up after months of wor
ry, suffering and pain, why do some
people insist on tearing open the old
wounds and going over it all again?
That is just what some (under
takers, I think) are trying to have
done by bringing our dead heroes
back from France. It is purely a
matter of sentiment, and will do no
one any good but the undertakers.
Why disturb the dead? In a few more
