The good loads movement
s< ems to be contagious. Every
county in the state almost is agi--
tating, preparing for it or actually,
engaged in it. Some with convict
labor and some with free labor.
When “good roads” become the
actual condition and not the idle
theory, then Georgia will become
revolutionized in her easy trans
portation of farm products to
towns and cities and landed value
greatly augmented. Then the
raising of home products more
extensively, such as wheat, corn,
oats, hogs, cattle, horses and
mules, Georgia will become truly
the “Empire State of the South
in greatness, glory and opulence.

MONEY TO LEND
Eirst, to the fellow who keeps
his Recounts in this Bank.
Second, a borrower who can
make a good bankable paper can
always get the “Dough.”
Anyone who has money to de
posit can know it is safe in the
Bank of LYERLY, for the depos
itors have a claim on the assets
of the Bank and that is all any
Bank can offer except the Bank
of Lyerlv. The Bank of Lyerh
INSURES YOUR. MONEY TO
YOU.
That is, if the Bank should blow
away, the directors all drop dead
the money all be stolen, why all
the depositors would have to do
is to send their pass-books to At
lanta and get the CASH for ev
ery cent. No court, no suit, no
waiting, no excuse, but every cent
NOW. The cashier will show and
prove this INSURANCE to you.
Therefore, put your money in the
BANK OF LYERLY that’s all,
then go home and sleep like a
babe.
If your house is insured and it
gets burned you get cash. If it
is not insured and burns you get
ashes.’ Why on earth a man will
insure his life, his house, his cot
ton, and not put his hard earned
money where it is insured is sim
ply amazing.

Rev. J. G. Hunt Leaves the Index
The numerous friends of Rev.
J. G. Hunt will be interested in
the following dipping from the
Christian Index -.
It seems that the Index is not
to be allowed to keep its chosen
workmen. Hardly do the editors
secure a helper before somebody
else realizes that he is the man
that is needed somewhere else.
As late as the first of last Janu
ary, we secured Bro. Hunt as a
helper in our work, both in the
office and on the field; but al
ready he is in demand, and the
Board of Education has discover
ed that there is no man in their
knowledge so well fittde as he to
do the work it has mapped-out.
So a committee was sent to us
from the Board of Education, to
beg that we release Hunt,
that he might perform this much
needed service. We have never
stood in the way, with regard to
men or otherwise, of the progress
of the denomination, nor sought
our intcresst at its expense; so
when thia matter was brought be
fore us. we consented to the com
mittee laying the matter before
Bro. Hunt, who, in turn, might
lay it before his Lord, and seek
to discover his duty. The result
is that he feels the obligation that
the call of this Board puts upon
him, and will undertake their
work. lie goes from us bearing
our high esteem, our cordial af
fection, ..nd our best wishes for
success in his new field of labor.
He has a hard task before him,
but we are persuaded that if any
man can accomplish it he can;
therefore we have been the more
willing to surrender our claim
upon him. And while he is do
ing this, the editors will bend
their backs a little more and re
sume the burden which he came
to help them bear.
A Farewell Word
After earnest and repeated so
licitations from Dr. S. Y. Jame
son, and others associated with
him, 1 have accepted a position
with the Educational Board of
the Georgia Baptist Convention.
Impressed w’ith the fact that
great obligations are resting on
Georgia Baptist to foster and bet
ter equip their schools and col
leges and that now is the oppor
tune time to make a supreme ef
fort to put. their educationa
institutions on a foo t
ing commensurate with the de
mands, 1 finally conVnted to un
dertake the work.
In parting company with the
Index, il is a source of great
pleasure to be able to say that
our relations have been most
pleasant. Drs. Bell and Graham,
in fact the whole office force have
been kindness and courtesy per
sonified. Reluctantly I lay down
the work so recently begun. I
love the Index, and am deeply in
terested in its welfare, and when
ever and wherever I can serve it.
will be gratified indeed to do so.
The positio n which I have ac
cepted was unsought by me. I
have listened only to duty’s ealb.
If I am the man for the place, as
the brethren seem to think, then
all is well

THE MOTHEITS_PROBLEM
Os Raising Strong, Healthy Girls.
A. serious problem which presents it*
self to every mother with girls to raise,
in these days. The exigencies of school
life, the hurry and routine of every-day
duties, the artificial environment of
modern civilization, make it more
difficult to raise strong, healthy girla
than ever in the history of the world.
Boys raise themselves. Give them
room, give them liberty, and they will
grow up healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls present a ser
ious problem.
How many mothers there are who are
worrying about their daughters. Ner
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, a constant
anxiety to the mother. How shall she
solve her problem? To whom shall she
turn for help? Each case is more or
less a study by Itself, and cannot be
solved by any general rnle.
This is the way one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. Schopfer, 5920 Prescott
Ave., St. Louis, Mo., in a letter to Dr.
Hartman, says: “My daughter Alice,
four years of age, was a puny, sickly,
ailing child since she was born. I was
always doctoring her. When we com
menced to use Peruna she grew strong
and well.”
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
R F. D. 5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
says': “Our little eight-year-old girl
had a bad cough, and was in a general
run-down condition.” Shehadseveral
doctors, who could give the child no re
lief, and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got a bottle of Peruna
and commenced giving it to the child,
and it proved to be just what she
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried.
Now the mother says she is playing
around all the time.
Her closing words were: “You have
done a great deal for her. She is the
only girl we have, and it meant lots to
us to have her cured.”
These are samples of many letters
which Dr. Hartman Is receiving, coin
ing straight from the hearts of loving
mothers. 'While the different schools
of medicine are bickering and differing
as to theories and remedies, Peruna
goes right steadily on givingpermanent
relief. After all, it is cures that the
people want. Theories are of little
account.
