Estate Luke Bass. v The thing makes a man sure he understands a public question is nobody else thinks he doSs. 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. Will White and son. Otis, from Na varo county, Texas, were visiting the writer a few days ago. Alsa his fath er ,J oseph White of Floyd county, 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 years has moved tothe A. J. Lee farm at the foot of Dirtseller Mt. H. E. Hoskins takes Mr. Rutledge’s place. Dayton Pledger takes Mr. Hoskins place. Arthur Ragland has moved to the Allen Sweat man place. John smiley has moved from our district to the Lyerly district. P. M. Derberry ,our new bailiff, has moved from Dr. Smith's to W. M. Cook’s place. I. C. Edwards will move from our district to Summerville. We have some men from Trion to take his place. Mr. John Payne and Amos Dew berry will move from here. The Reynolds boys, Ben and Al exander,are moving from this place Ben to the John Maddox place south of Lyerly and Alex toGordon Wheeler farm. takes the place of the Reynold boys. 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. James Weaver received his commie sion as J. P. last Saturday . Myself. ; J. T. Pledger and O. H. Horn signed i Bro.

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 gists. ... . . . - ... A PINE GROVE Bro.

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.
