Loudsville Lines.
Mrs. C. J. Meaders spent part
of last week here with relatives.
Mr. T. B. Ledford has been
quite sick for several days.
Mr. Claude Savage has been
visiting here of late days.
Messrs FrankiPardue and Henry
Ledford visited relatives over at
Habersham a few days past.
We have been having some of
the coldest weather up here for the
past week that we ever experienced
in our life.
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Ash, of
Dukes Creek, spent one day last
week here.
Miss Cannon has suspended her
school at Dukes Creek until the
weather gets some better.
Mr. J. W. Thomas has moved to
tite Barker place.
The weather has been very un¬
favorable for Bro. Ethridge of the
Louudsville work, but we believe
that this young man will do some
good work for his charge when the
weather.gets better. He will find
a lot of good people among his
churches.
EXCESS BAGGAGE.
Now when prices are high and
foodstuffs growing scarce, is an
apportune time to make an inven¬
tory and see how much excess bag¬
gage we are carryidg in our daily
household and office expense ac¬
count. In my quest for health and
happiness I found it it very helpful
to cut out every one of the follow¬
ing items from my expense account
with splendid results. Not a sin¬
gle one of the following are at all
necessary for any one who practic¬
es right thinking and right living.
Whiskey, Booze, Wine, Narcotics,
Drugs, Tobacco, Cigars, Cigar¬
ettes, and Soft Drinks that cause
drug habit. Meat, Patent Medicin¬
es, Chewing Gum and Profanity,
The big idea in this schedule is to
save your money and jspend it on
something more servicable than
any one of the items in this list.
Those Who Do Not Work Shall Not Eat.
This edict was promulgated by
one of the greatest souls that ever
lived, and who still lives, Thank
God! Saint Francis of Afisizzi,
transformed a poverty stricken
parrish into a thrifty one by en¬
forcing tiie above rule of life. One
of the greatest curses to humanity
is idleness and tbriftlessnes. If
the idle who eke out a miserable
existence in the crowded cities,
towns and villages of America
were pompelled to go to work, even
if they did have to return to the
joys of country life, there would be
no lack for food or anything else in
America. Put the law against
idleness in force.
Home Barned.
The home of J. G. Hunter, cash¬
ier of the Clermont Banking Co.,
at Clermont, was burned to the
ground Sunday morning, Jan. 6th
about 1 o’clock. The building was
owned bv II. M. Gailey and was
insured for *1,000. Mr. Hunter
carried no insurance on his furni¬
ture, his policy having expired
about a month before the fire. A
handsome purse was presented Mr.
Hunter by his friends this week.
Mr. Herbert Tabor of Gaines¬
ville, handled the insurance policy.

Have any of you ever seen
walking telephone battery that
walks about in and through your
settlements. I have been blessed
with that sort of a curse very often
especially since this wireless w alk
ing telephone batteries have been
in operation through our settlement
They are the kind, you know, that
transmits its messages voluntarily
without wires, and whose battery
transmits foul air in the form of
lies, speaking a lie for the truth,
thus poisoning the fluid in it
chambers to the extent that it trans
mils a lie instead of the truth, scat¬
tering its mucous in every
tion ; transmits its messages in day
time only to rise in the morning
seeking an opportunity of insert¬
ing its beak into some other filthy
carcase.
Now, we say of a truth, that i'
is high time that such character
should stop and think, keep your
foul tongues out of other peoples
business, speak the truth or
after hold your peace.

Dear Comrades :
The war lias created a demand
upon your time, talent, means, and
resources to help, win this war
against autocracy. Women have
always meant so much in war, but
in this one more than any previous,
because it is the greatest war ever
w el, and woman’s opportunities
rud activities are broader and
:'cater than ever before; there are
n > “shjcknt among the women.
1 mal' j this appeal to the women
of \\ bite county to unite with the
Woman’s Committee National De
iense, Georgia Division. White
County^ Unit. You may query,
“Why this new organization when
most of ns are organized to death.”
t. Because the federal govern¬
ment finds it necessary to have re¬
ports of the splendid work done by
| the women, thereby register \vo
j man’s strength in this crisis of our
i»untrv
j 2 . To put into the hands of the
j slate chairman the work the gov
! eminent wishes to be done by the
j women.
j 3, It docs not interfere with
j other organizations, but to assist in
J every way possible these already
existing, to mutual helpfulness.
j, To impress upon the men
who are lighting that the women,
to the best of their ability, are
serving where best they may'.
It simply resolves itself into it
question “whether we pay now, or
the Germans later, an indemnity.”
I herein urge all heads of schools
and teachers to mobilize the school
children for active service in Red
Cross, War Savings Stamps, and
the gospel of the “clean plate
you have, such a high privilege in
the training of efficient, patriotic
citizens, in this your resources are
almost inexhaustible,
I wish presidents of all (he vari¬
