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.

THF SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, MAY, 6, 1909. 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 J. G. HUNT Mr. B. F. Joiner of Teloga was in town Tuesday. Esq. F.C .

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. SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT The following is the program for the closing exercises of Mont vale school which will be held Thursday night, May 13th, begin ning at 6 o’clock.
