In the President’s reply to Ger¬
many’s reply through the medium
ship of Maximillian is pointed out
in unmistakable language what the
Germany must do before peace can
be considered, and in doing so the
President has dispatched to Ger¬
many, and all nations, not only his
personal attitude, but the will and
determination of the entire United
States of America.
Long and pure wave “Old
Glory,’’ and may it soon wave in
breeze that blows over Berlin.
With the last stroke of the bell
when the clock strikes twelve to¬
morrow (Saturday) night the time
expires to subscribe for the fourth
LIBERTY loan. This loan by
the American people to their gov¬
ernment is a stupendous one—
$ 6 ,txjo,txx>,ooo.tx)—the largest loan
ever made by any nation at one
time—but we are a great nation and
whowould measure LIBERTY with
dollars; who would sell LIBERTY
for dollars? LIBERTY is what
we want; LIBERTY is what we
must have; LIBERTY’ is what we
are going to have; LIBERTY in
greater measure than ever before.
But everybody must help, help,
help. In other words, everybody
must continue to help, and help a
little more than they did before,
and everybody must go their whole
length in helping, and help accord¬
ing to their ability to help, so that
the voice of he who has but con¬
tributed the “widow’s mite” may
be heard in thunderous tones above
lie who might have done a giant’s
share but was content to do that of
the weakling. We must, respond
to the call NOW, or the words
of condemnation shall surely ring
in inir ears when the harvest is ripe
for the adjustment of national and
international affairs. If you do
not now prove your sincerity, how
can yon expect to do it when the
opportunity has passed. We must
act now if we would demand later.
This applies to this nation as a
nation; It also applies to the indi¬
vidual of this nation as an individ¬
ual ; it applies to the person who
lias much money; it applies to the
• person who has little money; it
applies to the person who has no
money.
Our armies have been crowned
with victory upon the battlefields;
our armies have been looked down
upon with rejoicings from heaven
as they prepare the way for unity,
peace and harmony upon earth,and
the destruction of the despot
of despotism to open the way
f or —well, we shall just call it
LIBERTY, for there ts no sweeter
word to the inhabitants of earth
today that than word composed of
seven letters, LIBERTY. LIBER
TY and FREEDOM now and for¬
ever, one and inseparable, bound
with the ties of love and activity.
Then it is when we shall praise the
Lord of hosts—He who moulds the
thought and directs the action of
men who lead in military and dip¬
lomatic circles, and bring out ot
the chaos that now enshrouds the
earth a time when Ilis will shall
“be done on earth 3s it is done in
heaven.”
If you would retard this time, go
to the kaiser.
If you would hasten this time
buy more bonds.
Would you be so selfish as to
have these gracious blessings laid
at your door—yea, brought
your home and set upon your
—when you have failed to perforin
your share of the*duty?
Or is it justice you dread the
proach of? If so, then the
ciples in you and the principles
tlie German government are
and the same, and these
are doomed to destruction.
Mr. J. II. Broom who is a resi¬
dent of Mossy Creek district owns
an eight dollar bill that has been in
the Broom family for one hundred
and thirty-one years. In appear¬
ance it does not in the slightest re¬
semble our greenbacks or gold cer¬
tificates, and the casual observer
would not think it had any value.
The number printed upon this
piece of currency is 157202, and
bears the following inscription:
“This Bill entities the holder
to receive Eight Spanish mint¬
ed dollars or the value thereof
in Gold or Silver, according to
a resolution of Congress, filed
at Philadelphia May 20, 1 777 •
Printed by Hall & Sellers,
Philadelphia.”
There is a sign iture to this old
piece of money but it is not legible.
Mr. P, S. Dorsey, also cf Mossy
has a silver coin which ap¬
pears to be Spanish that beaus the
1776 which was found in one
his fields.
“Little Bill” Dorsey passed
town one day last week,
over that part of his car just; in
of the dashboard, two great
stills were fixed, fastened or
lie went toward Helen with
and had it not been that Bill
now a revenue officer, we might
have arrived at the conclusion that
folks in the northern part of
county were getting “dry” and
friends down this way were
rushing supplies to their relief.
Quite a number of cases ofSpan
isb influenza is reported in town
and in some parts of the county,
although very few serious cases
have been reported. I)r. J. E.
Norton is very ill, and it is feared
he has pneumonia. Mr. J. II.Tel¬
ford also is troubled .with a very
high fever. School has been closed
and Church services suspended,and
the fall term of superior coin t ad¬
journed over until the second Mon¬
day in November. So, you may
at least have some remote idea, the
Flu” is giving us some wallop.
If folks, most of folks, are as
loud and long in the condemnation
of bail roads as they are in praise
of good ones, we would not want
to live at the end of the bad road,
as we do at the intersection of the
gdod road with the old one. We
live, ns many of you know, just
where the new Dahlonega road in¬
tersects with the old one within the
corporate limits of town, and we
have heard enough praise of that
new road to knock out all the bad
feeling which came over us when
the teams began to plow the road¬
bed through the center of our little
patch.
All together now for one united

brought here in ships. Every possible ship la needed

DON’T DRINK SHIPS.
Prepared by Federal Food Administration for Georgia
There is no chance for the housewife to relax in regard to food con
servation.
Just as the wheat situation begins to look brighter, she has now to
turn her attention to a more intensive sugar saving program. Last year’s
temporary shortage serevd to point the way. Means were discovered of
cutting down on sugar and using other sweetening. That was a mere ap¬
prenticeship, however, compared with the conservation campaign which
now becomes necessary.
For the burden of maintaining the Allied sugar supplies falls on us.
There is not enough sugar available for us all to live in accordance with
our peace time habits. We must share with them. Our great war program
has reduced our sugar carrying fleet; the sugar requirements of our over¬
seas army are very large; our domestic crop is less than we. expected; we
have diverted 50,000 tons of sugar shipping in order that, Belgium should
have food; Germans have destroyed sugar beet fields and factories in
northern France and Italy; more than fifty thousand pounds was sent to
tine bottom of the ocean off our shores recently.
If by our own selfish use of sugar we should force the Allies to send
to Java for 250,000 tons to piece out their meager sugar ration for next
year, it would take eleven extra ships. These eleven ships oould transport
and keep 150,000 to 200,000 soldiers in France.
Retail sugar dealers are allowed to sell at one time half a month’s
supply of sugar to the consumer. This supply, of course, is based on two
pounds per person per month. For example, if there are five in the family,
they may buy ten pounds in a month, or five pounds at one time, but are
not entitled to buy another supply after the first until half a month has
elapsed.
This supercedes the rule allowing sale of two pounds to town trade
and five pounds to the country, and applies to all people alike.
The change is not made because there is any less need of conserva¬
tion in smjar. The domestic canning demand, however, will soon decrease,
and the available spot stocks of sugar if properly conserved, will make
possible this change as a convenience to both the consumers and the
retailers.
In order to supply our army and allies with the sugar that is absolutely
essential in'winning the war, we must not exceed the two pounds per per¬
son per month allowance.
Retail dealers are to continue weekly reports on sugar sales as here¬
tofore.
Individual Sugar Pledges Essential
An order directing attention to the fact that the allotment of sugar
for Georgia is a million pounds less than in September and that the re¬
quirement of pledges from individual purchasers must be taken on each
sule is as follows; '
"Announcement is made to the public that the allotment of sugar for
the State of Georgia for the month of October is 1,000.000 pounds less than
for the month of September. This will make necessary a continued care¬
ful conservation by the individual consumer and, possibly, will necessitate
some reduction to the retail distributors. All retail dealers are especially
cautioned 10 carefully take and preserve the individual pledge in making
each sale, since their next allotments are to be based on the checking of
these pledges. There is no reduction in the allotment fixed for individual
consumption, that remaining at the ratio of two pounds per month per
person. The quantity sales to individuals also remain unchanged. That
is, the individual purchaser is permitted an allotment of two pounds per
person in the family per month, but he may purchase a semi-moathly suppiv
at one time. This rules applies alike to persons in the cities or in the
count ry.”
“On account of the reduction in the State allotment for October, there
will be no issue of extra allotments to dealers."
“The Food controllers, of the Allies and America in their conference
in July made a careful survey of the world’s food supply and the needs
of the armies and civilians of the Allies and certain neutrals. It was found
that America must supply an additional five million tons of food this year,
»n increase of 5Qc' r over last year.
"The American wheat crop was good this year, but the yield of other
food grains is deficient. For this reason the new rule of one pound of
approved substitutes with four pounds of standard wheat flour was made,
and this rule will be rigidly enforced.
"What is happening now in Europe is adding materially to the food
requirements abroad. Northern Russia and Bulgaria must be fed and indi¬
cations are that Turkey and adjacent territory will soon look to the Allies
for much needed food. This shows conclusively that the need for conserva¬
tion is much greater than last year.
"For this reason the Food Administration desires to impress on the
people of Georgia the need for additional care in saving not only sugar and
wheat, but every staple food. The advance that our forces at the front
continue to make, must be carefully protected with a sufficient food suppiv
It was never more true than now that ’Food Will Help Win the War,’ and
every red-blooded American man, woman and child, has the opportunity
to do their share by saving, from day to day,"

Buy Your Furniture Sow
There are several reasons why
you should buy what furniture and
housefnrr,ishings you need now.
The be-t time in the world to buv
furniture is while you can get it.
There never was a time when
wages and farm products were
higher than they are now. Fur¬
niture is getting scarce in the mar¬
ket and is advancing rapidly. The
scarcity of material and labor
grows worse each day. A number
of furniture factories have closed
down already, while others are run¬
ning only part time and cannot
possibly produce as much furniture
as they did a year ago, consequent¬
ly the price must go HIGHER!
HIGHER! still.
We have taken the situation in
consideration and have bought a
good supply of all kinds of furnit¬
ure and housefurnishings, which we
have in stock. We have a saving
already in the goods of from 15 to
30 % under the present market,
which saving we are giving to our
customers now, however, if our
present sales continue as they have
we are certain to be without a
number of items on account of the
scarcity of the goods and the neces¬
sary time it takes to replenish our
stock.
Therefore, you will profit by
taking advantage of the times and
buy what you need NOW. Now
is the accepted time, before the
rusk of fall business sets in when
everybody will be trying to buy
their goods at the same time.
With our farmer friends we can
arrange terms to suit.
Take advantage of this timely
warning and call on us at once.
Do trot be one of those who will
have to stand back apd regret not
looking ahead and taking advant¬
age of the advice given.
