subject of missions the special topic
for the year, being China.
This is in accord with the plan of
the General Assembly, and the idea

great Missionary work of the church.
Mrs. Campbell Wallace made a lit
tle introductory talk, and Miss Gard
ner gave some salient points about
China, using a blackboard with illus
trations.
On last Sunday Mrs. Davenport
called the roll of the classes, and each
‘responded with the names and sta
tions of the Missionaries in China,
they have chosen to get acquainted
with by study and correspondence.
Miss Allene Fields will tell some
thing of the medical missionaries in
China next Sunday, and others will
take up different portions of the
work later.
Mr. George -Montgomery has been
granted a months vacation from his
duties as Superintendent, for rest,
and Mr. Fred Morris, the Assistant
will take charge in his adsence.
Acommittee will provide a substi
tute teacher for the men’s class and
Handley Lee a member of the class,
and also a native of China, wil speak
to them on Sunday.
Mr. Bettie of the Camp Y. M C. A.
taught the class last Sunday.
On June the 30th the service flag
that is being prepared for the School
will be dedicated. More than thirty
names have been secured, of former
students now in the service.
Dr. Patton preached an excellent
sermon Sunday morning, and Mr.

recently been made Assistant Field
Director, of the Red Cross work in
the south, preached a most interest
ing sermon in the evening.

FATAL ACCIDENT AS CAR
GOES THROUGH BRIDGE.
’ A —— -
Last Sunday afternoon, as three of
the large trucks from Camp Gordon
laden with soldiers, were crossing a
bridge over the Etowah River in
Cherokee county, known as Steele’s
Bridge, one of the trucks broke thru
the bridge, falling forty feet, andin
stantly killing three of the soldiers.
Ten others were more or less se
riously injured and were rushed here
for attention. All the men were mem
bers of Eastern Regiments, but not
men known in Marietta.
The bodies of the men who were
killed were brought to Black’s Under
taking Parlors in Marietta, where
they were prepared for shipment to
their homes in the North.
The unfortunate accident will at
least call for acloser inspection of
the bridges in this and other sections
where the heavy army trucks are
being operated on the highways, al
though the bridge in this case was on
a byroad. All the Cobb county bridges
are now built of a minimum capacity
of fifteen tons, which is necessary to
convey the present road machinery.
WHEN WE WIN THE WAR!
Let's change the saying “If we win
the war” to “When we win the war,”
and never let the subjunctive mood
intrude upon our language on this
question again.
Of course we're going to win the
war! We went into it expecting to
win and the further we get into it
the more we are determined. The
American boy is headed for Berlin
and the Kaiser can’t stop him. J
But are you doing your part cheer
fully and willingly in the fight? Are
you helping to feed thcse Americans,
and thousands of hungry allies with
their wives and children, who are
helping to win the war? If not, why
not? ‘
Do you deny yourself of any of the
necessities, or of many of the Jux
uries that would help to feed the hun
gry amoung our allies? Do you live
on your six pounds of flour per
month; or do you seek some avenue
to get around it? Are you willing to
abide by the law, to use but thee
ponnds' of sugar and not grumble?
Most people do, but I find perhaps
more than any one else those who
seek means of getting more flour and
more sugar than they are entitled to.
Few merchants would violate the reg
ulations; but there are, unfortunate
ly, some customers who try to tempt
them to do so and make it hard for
them to live strictly within the regu
lations.
Some new regulations are: two
pounds of sugar at one purchase for
town people, and five pounds for
the country people; limited to three
pounds per month per individual. Do
‘not ask the merchants for more. Tweo
orders, for each family, of 25 pounds
of sugar for canning for the season.
Don’t ‘ask the mecrchant or me to
}grant an extension; we have no au
thority to do so.
Every merchant in the county is
supposed to keep up with the regula
| tions as they come out, and should
lbe ready to abide by them within 24
ghours after they are promulgated.
| Strenous times require strenous ef
;forts. quick rulings, and changes in
| regulations.
I Public eating houses are limited to
| four meals a week: hoiled beef for
inoon mealks on Mondays and Thurs
id;‘.ys; roast beef for noon meal on
iSunda_\'; and steak for evening meal
{on Saturday. ;
| Ice must not be served in drinks
?at publie drinking places.
| Merchants having more than 30
| days’ supply of flour may let other
:merch;;nt&ha\'e overplus at.invoice
| prices.” The flotir department has né
i tified me that -these who have more
;than thirty days’ supply on July Ist
| will be considered as hoarding flout.
% One -of these fine mornings some
| American boy on the front in France
| will throw up his hat and say< “Boys
|let’s go down to Berlin,” and they’ll
'go. When we win the war 1 hope my
