quite sick for several days, is im¬
proving some at this writing.
Yes, the Louds-Bestos corres¬
pondent seems to think we have
become an encoinist by passing
some encomiums through the col¬
umns of the Courier. Well if we
did, we just thought it would be
somewhat becoming to an animated

GEORGIA, FEB. 22 ., 1918 .
A Twentieth Century
Paul Revere.
Listen, my children, and you will hear
Of another rider than Paul Revere;
Of a tiny lad on a strange, strange steed,
Who rode a race for his country’s need.
He heard of his country's call for men;
He heard of their sacrifice, and then—
lie heard of the need for money, too;
for food and clothes to help them thru.
*
He wanted to help, tlio he could not fight
He wanted to serve in the cause of right.
So he mounted aThflftCard,reins in hand
And rode and rode thruout the land.
“Money!” he cried', “money for clothes’,
“The boys in tlie,trenches”—off he goes;
And ’mid the sound of clattering hoofs
The call re-echoed across the roofs—
‘ ‘Gather your niokles! Gather your dimes
Help the nation! Prepare these times!”
The people heard as the boy dashed by
They heard his fevered, earnest cry.
And out of the stockings laid away.
And out of the closets hid from day,
They gathered their savings of many
years,
And poured them forth with hearty cheers
■‘Take these,"they cried, “in the cause of
right,
We’ll save for the boys who nobly fight”
As on he sped, he heard them say,
“We ll do our bit—save every day.”
And when the boy on his Taliaot steed
Had spread the call of his country’s need
He drew hit reins on old ‘‘Thrift Stamp”
And patted his nose,all sweaty and damp
“Our work is done,” lie said, “old man,
The nation’s roused to the War-Thrift
Plan.”

Comfortable fjords
Comfortable homes are always the happy homes. No
home is comfortable that is not well equipped with the
various articles of furniture, house furnishings and musical
instruments. Unfortunately too many of us are careless in
this respect, and envy those who supply their homes with
these various necessities so conducive to happiness, when
only an outlay of a few dollars will in many instances make
our home pleasant and desirable.
When we consider that over half of our lives is spent
in bed and in the home, it is surprising to ourselves that we
give the matter of furnishing our homes so little attention.
It is no wonder why so many rise and leave their homes in
the morning feeling grouchy and worn out.
The REMEDY : Make your home more comfortable,
convenient and pleasant to yourself, family and friends by
calling on us and purchasing those articles of Furninure,
House Furnishings, etc., so badly needed in your home.
Our stock is complete, and with a continued advancing
market on all goods carried by us, the earlier your pur¬
chases are made the cheaper you will be able to obtain
them.
