GUMMING, GA. SEPTEMBER ?8 UPI
AN IMPORTANT MEETING
was held at the court house on
last Sunday afternoon. Not many
of the churches of the county
were represented but the breth
ren, who were present, seemed
very much interested in the mat
ter of organizing for a county
wide movement for bettering the
moral condition of our people.
After some discussion as to
what might be done in a definite
way. looking to this end, it was
agreed to call another meeting
for the afternoon of the first
Sunday in October for the pur
pose of organizing “The Forsyth
County Association for Moral
Improvement.” The special aim
of this movement is to be the in
tensive education of the people
all over the county with refer
ence to the evils of ttrong drink
and the curse os the liquor traf
fic and also to mould a strong
sentiment in favor of total ab
stinence and law enforcement.
This movement is to be foster
ed by the churches of the coun
ty, and it is presumed, of course,
that every preacher and every
church.will be in sympathy with
it. It is therefore requested and
urged that every pastor be pres
ent and every churrh send two
or more representatives to this
meeting. Remember, at the court
house, on Sunday afternoon, Oc
tober 2nd, at 3 o'clock. Eastern
time. Meeting called by the
unanimous consent of all pres
ent last Sunday. All people, both
men and women, who stand for
sobriety and moral improvement,
invited to be present,

Home Circle Column.
Pleasant Evening Reveries—A Column Dedi
cated to Tired Mothers as They Join the
Home Circle at Evening Tide.
We hear a great deal about the inadequacy of old fashion
ed methods to deal with modern problems but often we wish
that the modern mother might adopt a few old fashioned
ways of training. At least that Is the best remedy we can
can suggest for inducing the children to take up once more
a few of the courtesies which have unfortunately become so
rarely used to be consideted old fashioned.
One of the courtesies which has become sadly forgocten is
the respect that is due old age. You see this lack every
where, but more in the cities, perhaps, because there is more
opportunity. Old people are jostled about on the street cais
the same as anyone else and they are shoved from pillar to
post quite regardless of their inability to take care of them
selves.
There is no need of trying to plant this respect for the aged
into a child’s mind after he is grown. It is something that
must be taught him from babyhood and it would be a good
thing for America’s manhood and womanuood if more moth
ers would realize this.
Growing old gracefully is a thing which most people, wo
men especially, find it very difficult to do, Yet it adds so
much to the charm of approaching age that it seems strange
more of us cannot form the habit. Someone has said that
blossom time cannot last forever—it must pass for all of us,
and to try to stay it only hinders the seed time and the harv
est, each of which are quite as satisfactory if we can but ac
quire the faculty of growing old gracefully.
Any display of personal feelings or emotions in public is
very bad taste to say at least, but there are a great many peo
ple who don’t seem aware of this. They tel! all their family
affairs and personal history for every one to hear. Many hus
bands and wives scrap so much in public we can’t help won
dering what sort of prize fights they hold in private. An
other thing is all this “spooning” which we see so much.
We understand the new word for this is “petting,’’ but our
readers will understand what we mean. Can’t someone im
piess on these enamored young things what fools they are
making of themselves? It seems not. Experience is a bit
ter teacher but a thorough one.
With every approaching season we think that one is our
favorite and just now we are all looking forward with keen
enjoyment to the keen hazy days of fall. Fall days are such
appetizers with their first tinge ot sharpness in the air. And
fall colors are so gorgeous, all the golden brows, the reds
and the deep purples. Yes, just now, fall seems to many of
us our favorite season, though we may be fickie and change
again in a few months where we feel the stir ot spring as
“an instinct within us that reaches and towers.”
Sometime! we get out patience with the people whose feel
ings are, as we look at it, too easily hurt. Consequently we
prepare to ride rough shod over those feelings and see if we
can’t harden them up a bit. But we never do. We only
make them more tender. We cannot judge what created
those tender feelings in the first place, so we are rather pre
suming ou our position when we attempt to cure them. If
we have any sensitive spots in our own feelings we know
what it means to have them stepped on, so let us be a little
careful in regard to the feelings of others.
