Which would you rather de or go!
a-fishing?
By the way, the local crop of
spring poetry seems to be woefully
short. x '
Will you lend it to Uncle Sam or
are you ‘going to try to save it to
give it to the Kaiser?
If springtime is really here, the
ground heg has the Snyder family
“backed off the board.”
sl /
Russia is feeling the iron heel of
Germany now just as the whole world
would feel if Germany could win,
Wholesale auto thefts are being
reported in Atlanta but personallyl
we hawe not had to lose any sleep on
this account.
The numerous articles in the north
ern papers right at this time, on “har- |
vesting ice,” and ‘storing ice”, re
mind us that after all this is the sun
ny south.
It is worth repeating until yow
learn it thoroughly: ‘Liberty Bonds
are good, or my money is not good,\i
my titles not geod, and my life un
safe.” This applies to every ]ivingi
American. i
Two things should be kept in mind
in discussing the county affairs, in
terest rates are very much higher, |
and supplies are very much higher
and for these two things no one in!
the county is to blame. |
Is it teo soon to begin a campaign
for “flyless” days and “mesquitoless”
nights? Any city that makes a fight
for these can have them, and they
are certainly worth while.
The latest Ford joke is that they
are going to prohibit the holding outl
your arm in signaling, and the answer
is “to prevent Fords running up yourl
sleeve.” ‘
A new publication issued by thel
United State Health Service is the!
250-page book, “Prevention of Di
sease and Care of the Sick,” with a‘
supplement on first-aid work. The
book has 200 illustrations, and covers
subjects relating to disease preven
tion, care and treatment of sick per
‘sons, and emergency measures in the
treatment of accidental injuries.
This war is a test of nations even
mere than of their material resources
and strength. The issue of it de
pends on the relative intelligence,
moral qualities and atttitude of the
peeple engaged.—Secretary TlMous
“ton. |
We claim to be ‘“the people” and
if we are, now is she time for us to
show our quabhities to the rest of the
world.
If you could ride from the earth to
Alpha Centauri on a train going at a
frate of 2 mile a minute, you would
reach your destination in forty-eight
million years. At the rate sound
travels, if a song were to be sung on
Alpha Centauri it would be three mil
lion eight hundred thousand years
before we could hear it. This neigh
bor of ours is thirty five trillion miles
away.—American Magazine.
And yet there are a lot of folks
worrying about the danger of the
world colliding with a star or other
things just as foolish.
QOut in Chicago and in Washington
considerable interest is being taken
in “trust busting’”’ the meat packers,
while the government at the same
time is calling for organization and
_combinations te furnish meat fer the
armies.
THE COUNTY AFFAIRS.
In our last issue we made our
readers the promise to give them the
result of our findings in an examin
ation we are makipg of the county
finances.
At that time we did not know that
a public certified accountant would
be here this week to audit the county
books of the various officers. Upon
learning this, hoyever, we pursued
our investigation sufficiently to be
able to state that the affairs of the
county seem to be in much better fin
ancial condition that they were
twelve months ago. We have gone
to the bhooks of each county officer
:who handles county money and wei
find no cause for alarm.
In view of the approaching report
of the auditor we prefer to withhold
our figures.
We found, however, no “financial
catastrophe’ anywhere. No such
was necessary to find a lack of har
mony between the Board of Com
missioners and the Treasurer, which
is to be regretted.
It is also to be regretted that the
county has to borrow any money inl
times like these, when interest tates’
are so high, but the debt has been
accumulating for some years, and
to discus that is useless, it is “water
over the dam” now.
, Nor will it do any good for us to
express any opinion of the three
cornered altercation that has been
going on between the Times, the
Treasurer, and Board of Commis
sioners, for most people will believe
as they wish in that matter.
We will state, however, that we
rather agree with the Board that the
tax rate of 1.61 collected in 1916
was greater than the tax rate of 1.50
collected in 1917. Even if our arith
metic had been neglected, we would
have learned that much from an al
manac, :
If the auditor finds any “financial
catastrophe” we will let you know
it and if he don’t find one, we will'
let you hear anyhow. 1
UNSOLICITED ENDORSEMENT.
The H. G. Hastings Co., of Atlanta,
are most reliable seedsmen. Of this
firm The Journal has no hesitation
of speaking freely and favorably.
We have personal knowledge of
their responsibility, and of the re
liability of their seeds, through years
of business experience with them, and
we commend our readers to them
for garden or flower seeds. And this
year is one in which you are going‘
to need a garden. i
ST. JAMES CHURCH NEWS.
Next Sunday there will be the us
ual morning service at 11 o’clock.
The night service will be at 7:30 o’-
clock. The public is cordially in
vited to attend all services.
At 10 o’clock there will be a cor
porate communion for the school.

everybody. There is a practical ad
dress at each service. There will be
no service on Thursday, March 14th,
The Reoctor will be attending a meet
ing of the Diocesan of Missions in
Atlanta.
The night service last Sunday was
very inspiring. The sermon by the
Rev. John Gass on “Cglled to be
Saints” was practical and helpful. It
reminded us that there must be
grewth in the Christian life,—growth
in grace and in the knowledge of
God, and a growth in spiritual char
acter. It was elequent in its simpli
city, and inspiring in its note of hope
and emnouragement for all.
To make progress and to attain
success in anything we have got to
“dig for it.¥ It is not less true of
Christian character and of eternal
life. We must strive and pray, and
strive again and pray again; and keep
on repemting and striving and pray
ing. Only so shall we reach the mark
for the prize of the high calling of
God ™ Christ Jesus.
The music at the night service was
beautiful. The Sextette from Camp
Gordon rendered three selections,
“Hear Us Holy God’, ‘“The Lord is
My Shephend”, and ‘“Come Unte Me”
They measured up to all expectations
They sang without accompaniment.
And there is nothing sweeter than
the well-tuned human voice.
The regular meeting of the Vestry
will be at the Rectory, Friday, March
Rth, at 7:30.
The Woman's Auxiliary held its
monthly meeting in the Church Mon
day afternoon.
SARDIS CEMETERY.
Mr. J. L. Gantt asks us to an
nounce that Wednesday, March 13th,
has been selected as the day for meet
ing at the Sardis church cemetery
for cleaning the grounds.
All those in the community inter
ested, are asked to come, and the la
dies are asked to bring lunches and
spend the day. This should be a
labor of leve, as well as duty, to keep
‘he burial grounds in good order.

22 Million Famil
: th U .t dSt t
IF EACH FAMILY saved one cup of wheat flour it would amount to
5,500,000 pounds, or more than 28,000 barrels. If this saving was made
three times a week, it would amount to 858,000,000 pounds, or 4,377,000
barrels in a year.
You can do your share in effecting this saving and really help to win
the war by omitting white bread from one meal today and baking in its

PROF. MASSEY’S GARDEN BOOK
Announcement is being made by
The Progresive Farmer of publica
tion of Professor Massey’s Garden
Book for the Southern States. Com
ing at a time when all the South
needs be a-gardening it has leaped
at once into vogue. A letter from
The Progresive Farmer today re
ceived, says: “Orders for Prof Mas
sey’s Garden Book are bing received
in every mail. Probably ne agricul
turalist in the Seuth is so well quali
fied for producing a work of this
kind. This will prove to be the most
valuable contribution of Professor
Masseys fifty year’s service to South
ern Farmer.
As to The Progresive Farmer.
Perhaps no single agency is doing so
much for our Southern farmers and
for our Nation. It is the publication
of which it is continwously being said,
by farm demenstration agents and
others: “You can tell by a man’s
farm whether he reads it or not..”
Bankers say their farmer depositors
have more money because they read
it and can meet their obligation bet
ter by its aid. Farmers unite in pro
claiming it the most useful farm pub
lication and the women who live on
farms will not try to keep heuse
without it. .
Every dya more of the people of
the country falls inte line for wom
an suffrage. Some of those who have
fought it are “seeing the light”” and
trying to get im soon eneugh to save
the woman vote.
Watch Mr. Lee. We think he is
in this class.
And Invigerates Old People
Any doctor will tell you that the
ingredients of Vinol as printed below
contain the elements needed to im
prove the health of delicate children
and restore strength to old people.
B Cod Liver and Beef Peptones, Iron
? and Manganese Peptonates, Iron and
Ammonium Citrate, Lime and Scda
Glycerophosphates, Cascaria.
Those who have puny, ailing or
rua-down children or aged parents
may prove this at our expense.
Besides the good it does children
and the aged there is nething like
Vinol to restore strength and vitality
to weak, nervous women and over
worked, run-down men.
Try it. If you are not entirely sat
isfie:l.y we will return your money
