ASBESTOS BUZZING
Dr. Will McGee of McRae, Ga.,
spent seveial days of last week
with his father S. H. McGee.
Mrs. Mary Black and her daugh¬
ter-in-law, of Atlanta, were visit¬
ing relatives here last week.
Misses Ethel Jackson and Ethel
Allison are now on the flu list.
Back mi olden times Absalom
made war against his father and
met his death by being hung by the
hair of his head to a limb. If bob¬
bed hair had been the style then he
might have been saved.
One of the barber shops have on
hand 40 great gross of hair pins
that they wish to dispose oi. If
you are interested in junk see them.
There was a hail storm here last
week but it was not severe like in
some parts up North. Early that
night there was an electrical dis¬
play in the South. These cyclones
seem to follow certain general laws.
They always move from the South¬
west to the Northeast and are
always not very wide in extent and
are generally followed by rain.
The most of us have been able to
see their track and have seen the
destruction they have wrought.
The most severe cyclone that has
ever visited the northern part of
Georgia was the New Holland cy¬
clone. White County has had a
few of these. It seems to be a
freak of nature and if we are in
tbeir path we have to suffer. It
seems necessary to have pits for
protection. When there is a vacu¬
um the colder air rushes u\ and
causes this whirling motion.
Some of our young men have
gone to seek a flitter tree in the
midst of a honey pond. So we
spent the greater part of our time
chasing shadows,- hunting for tlie
end of the there is a
t
pot of gold there, it is best for the
world that we have this spirit of
adventure. It was this that led
Columbus to seek a new world and
when the crew threatened to throw
him overboard he said : “On ! Sail
on: It was this that caused Ponce
De Leon to hunt for that fountain
of youth and De Soto hunt for gold
and precious jewels. Several came
here because they heard of strange
men who had one eye in center of
their forehead and one foot ve-y
large that served as an umbrella
when they rested in the sunshine,
and te see wooly hens that grew on
trees.
China did not possess this spiiit.
It stood still for several thousand
years. The moss grew on their
backs and they did not have a
single new idea in a great while.
They built a huge wall to keep out
other people but at the present
time that wall would not be any
barrier in the way of the
civilization and they believed in
following the old trodden paths
But conditions have changed the
world over.

The League and B. Y. P. U.
The League and B. Y. P. U. are
the two most outstanding Christian
organizations that have ever been
ill our town towards uplifting the
young people especially, to a higher
Christian life. There are Christian
problems concerning God’s vvbrk
tliat'Come before the young people
that are hard to solve, but through
these organizations, and actually
study and work they can be solved
to the extent that they wdl become
more interested in the work, and
toward uplifting the organizations.
The people certainly should be
proud of these Christian organiza¬
tions and be perfectly willing to
back up the young people in their
work. The people seems to think
that it is not their duly to help
them, but it is, and you ought to
be with die greatest pleasure to the
help the young people any time
they call on you to do any Chris¬
tian work toward toward uplifting
God’s work on this earth.
The League and B. * Y. P. U.
nave done great Christian work to¬
wards uplifting the young people
to a higher Christian life, that will
overpower the evil problems that
are to come before them in the
future that is tj come. It places
them in a Christian position that
will enable them to go on with
God’s work after the ones that
have prepared die way for us, have
passed to the beyond. 1 am glad
to say that the organization I be¬
long to has certainly lifted me
higher toward a Christian life and
I feel sure that others would say
"flic sairqj thing that have netully
taken interest in either of thAe or¬
ganizations.
I did all in my power to do all I
could for (lie organization. I took
interest in the other one to to show
sincerity.
The desire of my heart is to say
that I wish I could have done tnore
for both.
1 am sure that these organiza¬
tions would appreciate it if the
people would take more inter¬
and come to the service more
1 wish the League and 3 . Y. P.
the best greetings and success
carrying on God’s work in the 1

Sending currency by mail is always risky . 1 A check
on - v<)Ur huuk, or a New York draft is always safe, costs
nothing and acts ns a receipt.
II il gets lost or stolen you ean immediately stop pay- ^

Your creditor would prefer a check—it is so much
more easily handled, and payment by cheek gives you a
prestige with your creditor.
