The Sunday School convention
held at the Baptist church here Iasi
Saturday and Sunday was well at¬
tended and proved quite beneficial.

perfected with the following offic¬

Rev. Homer Thompson, who has
been assisting in a series of meet¬
ings being held at Chattahoochee
last week, reports that the people
of that community note a great
change for good in their midst in
the past few months. There is
evidence of truth in this statement
in the fact that on one night
seventeen new members were add¬
ed to the church roll. There can
be no doubt but that this addition
means much for the future welfare
of the community.
Messrs. Cooley & Jackson, at¬

No use to try to grow little
onions in North Georgia, Dr.

small in this climate.

they were not so good down that
way,

«HRnHHP| TEE CLEVELAND GEORGIA.
COURIER, CLEVELAND,
At this time the finest type of
our mAihood are being chosen for
military training—military duty.
The government says she requires
men of the best physical type that
the country affords, and it is this
class of men who are being chosen.
We are sorrowful to see this class
of young men leave our midst—yea,
the sight is painful to the majority
of our population, for these rnen
could well be used in the avenues
which lie before them in civil life.
However, this same population,
pained at the departure of their
sons, would readily consent to see
these young men enter upon *
period of preparation to fight
against the enemy who would "set a
foot upon their soil, were they
fully convinced it were truly a
military necessity.
Under present Conditions we
must place our trust first in God,
then in the powers that govern the
country and the military force that
defend it. These latter two are in
position to know what the country
most needs, and the best policy to
a satisfactory adjustment of these
needs. Not only are they in posi¬
tion to know, but they do know.
How, then, for a moment, can
we think that the government of
the United States—the country
with the greatest freedom of people
in the world—would adopt such a
military course did they not know
it to be the best for the ultimate
good of the country? To adopt
such a course, if unnecessary,
would be decidedly a most inhu¬
man, undemocratic and destructive
act known to a free people.
It is true that in some particulars
the men in authority can and may
be expected to err, but to think
that they would sacrifice hundreds,
yea perhaps hundreds of thousands
of lives, willfully that a few might
reap a harvest of dollars from pro¬
fits iti the manufacture of muni¬
tions, is unreasonable, and if we
believed it we would seek refuge in
a country of heathens and barba¬
rians.
Just what influence capital may
have had in bringing about the
war, we know not—neither does
any one else—and while we udrftit
that the money sharks of the nation
have their influence (too much in¬
fluence, if you please) upon out
legislative and governing bodies,
surely the interests of the great
mass of American people have not
been trodden under foot? Rather
do we believe that this war will set
in motion the machinery that will
totally crush and destroy that spirit
which tends to rob and to ruin the
principles upon which this great
nation has been created, sustained,
and blossomed and flourished in
the past, and that will continue,
with an adjustment of laws to
govern its millions of peace-loving
inhabitants, stand out. not as a
dictator, but as an example and
counsellor amongst the nations oi
the earth, both on the eastern and
western hemispheres, that every
inhabitant thereof may share more
equally in a plenitude of good.
Who is be who would dispute
that every person who is not a
public benefactor should be so
regulated in the conduct of his pro¬
fession, busines or occupation, as
to make him such? Until this is
accomplished the task for which
Jesus of Nazareth gave his life has
not yet been finished.
Occasionally, we receive a letter
that reads something like this :
Send us The Georgian and we’ll
settle for it later.” Well, we would
like to accommodate the people that
way, but we have just cut that sort
of business out, and if you want
The Georgian, you’ll have to pav
for it in advance. Paper cost money
these times,—North East Georgi¬
an.
Good Roads, did you ever see
one? Would you like to travel over
one? Has Union County any right
to one under any circumstances:
Are you content with what you
have? Do you believe in progress,
or do you want to stay in the same
old mudholes and pig trails that
our ancestors did?—North East

The bill introduced by Senator
Edwards to discontinue the treasur¬
er's office for White county pro¬
vides that at the end of the present
term, or upon the death or resigna¬
tion of the present incumbent, the
office shall be discontinued. The
bill also provides that in case of
any new public buildings construct¬
ed that the treasurer shall not re¬
ceive a per cent on the money rais¬
ed and handled by the treasurer for
that purpose. Senator Edwards
has taken a wise step in this meas¬
ure in the interest of the county
and the preservation of the present
incumbent of the office of treasur¬
er.
