I Our Sunday school at Walnut Grove was small Sunday. Would be glad to have those who have been coming to come on reglarly, and would be glad to have the parents come with their children if they can. .Mr. Crawford of near Taliafer ro was at preaching Sunday. Mrs. J. C. Huie and wife ami children visited the family of G. A. Ragland Sunday. Mrs. Cora Moss of Lyerly vis ited Dr. -I. A. Smith and wife Sunday. We are expecting to have a series of meetings at Walnut Grove sometime in August. Mr. 1 Hardin of Summerville will do tin- preaching. The people of this community met at the Johnson cemetery at (hattooga ville last Saturday and cleaned off the graves of our dead. As there has been some misunderstanding when we were to do the work we have appoint ed regular days twice a year--on the second Saturdays in August and May will be the regular days for doing this work hereafter. Farmers arc very busy here and are using every advantage to dean out the crops and to harvest the oat crop. There is still one-third of the corn crop yet to plant. We may not get to plant it in time to make corn but we still have another chance at fted withitlie land. We can plant or sow peas and sorghum ami make feed for our stock. A great many are not done chopping cotton ami the cotton is suffering or thinning and much of it looks very sorry for the time of year ami grassy to beat "kizer. ” Some of the corn that has been planted is to replant again. So we are having a time this year trying to farm. But as many dis advantages as we have had 1 be lieve if w. can hav< fair weather we will yet alee enough to do us if we use judgment in making our own hay, potatoes and all such things as we need on the farm. We can make our own supplies on the farm if we will try, but if we depend on buying all our supplies the price will be so high that we never van pay it with even a fair crop of cot ton and a fair price for it. So let us study a little and use out own brain and not depend on the other fellow for too much. It you can do without biscuit you need not sow any wheat; if you can feed your hogs and mules and cows you need no corn or liay to be in your way. In fact jf cotton will pay you better to raise and buy these other things then by all means raise cotton. But study a little ami think of it before you make a mistake. We need to raise that which will actually pay us best ami improve the land and make it better and better every year. G. A. RAGLAND.

CAN’T TOUCH THIS SALOON The Tennessee prohibition law is so worded to give it the appeal ance of being interested primarily for the protection of the schools, and it prohibits the sale of liquor within four miles of any school house. One P. Conger, of Me- Minville, has found a spot on the top of the Cumberland moun tains in Sequatchie county, where the State prohibition law, effec tive July 1, cannot touch him, and he is now having a saloon constructed there. It is eighteen miles from McMinville, and there is no school house within tour miles of the place. ft is reported that Conger has leased all the land for four miles around in order to prevent the erection of a school house. len or twelve barrels of whiskey and i> lot of case goods are now at McMinville awaiting transporta tion to Conger’s saloon.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER S i CASTORIA BIENNIAL SESSIONS OF LEGISLATURE PROBABLE Atlanta. —Biennial sessions of the legislature, after the present one has completed its service, are a practical certainty. It will be impossible to inaugurate the change until next year, as it will have to be passed on by the peo ple at the general election in Oc tober, 1910. A constitutional amendment is necessary to make the change. It is reported that Governor elect Brown will urge in his in augural message that the change be made, as well as that the time for holding the sessions be changed back to the fall or win ter months. Practically every member of the legislature with whom the subject has been dis cussed lately is in favor of a change to biennial sessions. Of ficials at the capitol are unani mous for the, change. The pub lic generally is strong in its fav or. The fact that all but six states of the Union have adopted either biennial or quadrennial sessions, to the great satisfaction of the people makes it reasona bly sure that Georgia will soon make the change. It is probable also that the length of the sessions will not lie greatly extended. In order for the lawmakers to get through their work in half the time, much useless work may be taken from tl-elll. At present about half of the time of the legislature is taken up with local bills. Ninety per cent of the measures adopted are of that class, affecting distinct communities alone, and put t! rough by tile representative or represei.li'l ves through “cour tesy. ; The average member knows nothing of these measures and usually “votes’’ for them while spending Saturday at home The people interested would have much better opportunity of having their will respected if such laws as those chartering towns or creating small courts were left to the superior courts or ’ grand juries, and the Legislature would be T'lieved of a lot of excuse for killing time. It s probable that tilt’s change will be made. The courts already have authority to grant or amend town charters. To have only one session would result in a saving of about $70.- UOO evsry two years to the tax payers. not to mention the mass of useless legislation which would be avoided.

The total appropriations 1 of the last congress amounted to one billion and thirty eight mil -1 lion dollars. This breaks all rec ords of appropriations) in the his tory of the United States govern ment. not even excepting * the days of the civil war. Where are ' the treasury watch dogs we used to hear about? Have they fallen 1 asleep, at their kennels or have 1 they been fed on dog biscuit? The republicans have been run -1 ning our ship of state with throt tle pulled wide open for several years. The recent alarm has been occasioned by the fact that the ! deficit in the treasury already 1 occasioned amounts to one hun -1 dred million dollars and is rapid -1 iy increasing. The enormous tar iff and internal revenues of hun dreds of millions of dollars no 1 longer suffices. Additional means must me devised of raising still more millions to meet the de mands of the extravagance of ar my and navy and other depart ments of government. There is now talk of raising the internal revenue system and stamping all sorts of things used by the people to yield more revenue for politiftl graft and partisan plun ' der. The treasury deficit and the increase of taxes but evidence 1 the increasing extravagance of our system of government. Ilnn ' dreds of millions of dollars are annually wasted —thrown away. The navy, for example, upon which untold millions are squan dered is no earthly use to the common people and the indica ' tions are that modern methods of warfare will make battleships practically useless as fighting ma chines. it seem that you can tax tile people in the shhpe of tariff from 1 25 to 200 per cent and they pay that and only grumble of hard times. But just levy a direct tax of sr.v 5 per cent and they would get so wrought up they would talk of revolting. How strange. L. L. N.

It makes your teachers rejoice and your superintendent glad; and I will say to the young, the best hours that I ever spent were in Sunday school and 1 am sure that some are in heaven today rejoicing over the good that they got out of the Sunday school at Wayside and other places, and you young people, when you get old like myself you will rejoice and >e glad that you attended the Sunday school that shaped your life for a home in heaven. 1 have seen some go to Sunday school and take no part in the lessons and they never got much good out of it, and I heard some of the same ones say in af ter years when it was too late, that if they had their time to go over they would go to Sunday school every chance. Now I hope that every one from the oldest to the youngest in reach of Wayside Sunday school will attend and take part Let eaeh one try to have the best hsson and wor the most, for we all have work to do.
