SEMINOLE
The Christmas holidays are past
and gone and a new year entered in.
Time now to make good resolutions
for the year and then try to live up
to them It has been two
weeks since I wrote to the News
from this qlace. I thought the News
force would want to take Christmas
as well as the rest of us and did not
writelast week. So I will have to put
in the happenings for two weeks.
We can not call back or undo any
thingthat has been done but we can
look the future and do as near right
as we can. between our fellowmen.
Ever keeping in view the great and
supremeruler of all things. And giv
ing him the glory and if we do this
other things will right themselves.

There has been considerable moving
and changing around here during the
past few days. T. B. Rutledge who
has been on the Holland farm for 21

Dallas Berry who has been living
with J. F. Busbin will move to
Henderson Turner’s farm.
A. Ragland will move to the house
vacated by W. E. Mathis near this
place.
■ Mr. Mathis and family willlivc near
Raccoon Mills.
There are several moves I have not
mentioned, so you can see we had
and will have a general change in
our community.
I was In Summerville last Saturday
and find that the new cotton mill
and the oil mill adds much to the
town.
Now if they should succeed In get
ting the new mill No. 2 this would
be better . I see no good reasons
why Summerville will not become as
good a town as their is in North Geo
gia. I Saw several hands working on
the new courthouse last Saturday.
Some suggested to me that we would
all be proud of it when it was finish
ed. We ought to be, it ought to ex
cel any house in North Georgia at a
cost of $55,000. All I hateabout it is
being in debt for It. We were not
able to build such a costly house.
The county is now in debt to stay in
debt. But except we make some ven
ure in business we never will do muc
Still ventures sometimes make bro
ken merchants. So I hope for better
and more prosperous times in ev
erything dnrlng the year 1909.
We have built a flue at the Pres
byterian churchand are prepared to
warm the house on preaching days
and every Sunday at Sunday school
So come now every parent and all
children who are not engaged in
some other Sunday school and help
our little Gideon band to fight for th*
Almighty God, the God of our fath
ers,the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac and Jacob the God of Israel
Comenow while it is it called today
and help us teach the word of eter
nal life before it be everlastingly too
late. Our house of worship is going
down. We needto do much work on
the house. It needs recovering and
must be recovered and a newcoat
of paint put upon It. We ought keep
God's house in good order and
clean. May God help us to stand firm
those who help themselves and show
a willing mind to honor him
So let us look well to our house of |
worship and keep it in order as long
as God permits us to live . Maybe I
then others will take care of it when
we have passed away.

Truth and
Quality
appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acta without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts arc known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine—
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug

Liberty.
The spirit of liberty Is Indeed a bold
and fearless spirit but It is also a
Sharp sighted spirit. It is a cautious,
sagacious, discriminating, farseelng in
telligence. It is jealous of encroach
ment, jealous of power, jealous of
man. It demands checks, It seeks for
guards, It Insists on securities, it In
trenches Itself behind strong defenses
and fortifies Itself with all possible
care against the assaults of ambition
and passion. It does not trust the
amiable weaknesses of human nature,
and therefore It will not permit power
to overstep Its prescribed limits,
though benevolence, good Intent and
patriotic purpose come along with it
Neither does It satisfy itself with
flashy and temporary resistance to il
legal authority. Far otherwise. It
seeks for duration and permanence.
It looks before and after, and, building
on the experience of ages which are
past, It labors diligently for the bene
fit of ages to come.—Daniel Webster.
Consumption
is, by no means, the dreadful
disease it is thought to be —in
the beginning.
It can always be stopped —in
the beginning. The trouble is:
you don’t know you’ve got it;
you don’t believe it; you won’t
believe it—till you are forced
to. Then it is dangerous.
Don’t be afraid; but attend
to it quick—you can do it
yourself and at home. Take
SCOTT’S
EMULSION
of Cod Liver Oil and live care
fully every way.
This is sound doctrine, what
ever you may think or be told;
and, if heeded, will save life.
