We live in an imperfect world.
There are very few things that
are exactly right. Paul taught
that the curse of sin is on crea
tion. Sime musician observed
that every cord in nature is in
the minor key. The wind sinhs
and the sea moans. Not only is
the physical world imperfect—all
human government is imperfect.
Man has never been able to build
a government that would stand
permanently. All human govern
ment is merely an experiment.
The curse of sin has affected
human judgment. It is impossi
ble for man to think clearly. If
man had never sinned, he pro i
bably would have intuitively
reached the right conclusion. The
only explanation so- world con
ditinos is the Bible explanation.
Sin entered the universe. One
third of the angels were cast out
Os heaven. The earth is now the
stage of the operations of evil
spirits. Jesus Christ came to
bring to naught the works of the
devil. There is a golden day com
ing when our mortal bodies will
put on immortality, when the
curse of sin will be lifted from
creation and the universe will be
restored to its original purity.
There are as many evidences
of the personal devil as there are
evidences of a personal God. If
there isn’t a devil as there are
responsible for the devilment?
As some one has said, "Who's to
blame for the everlasting row?”
Men and women who have been
saved by simple faith in Jesus
Christ and who know the joy of
fellowship with the Lord are
conscious of a peculiar, satanic,
unseen influence that operates in
this world. A personal devil is
responsible for this influence
which men feel and which affects
the entire world. The devil is
called the “prince of the piwer
of the air”. ‘ We wrestle not with
flesh and blood, but with princi
palities and powers in the
heavenlies”. There is one devil,
but there are many demons. The
devil is the great general who
directs the activities of an army
of evil spirits. The devil is not
omni-present. The devil cannot
be everywhere at the same time,
but he has enough soldiers in his
army to make him practically
omnipresent as far as this world
is concerned. The only person
who is safe is the Christian who
recognizes the existence of the
devil and who is not ignorant of
bis devices and who relies upon
the power of the conquering
Christ to overcome his satanic
majesty. Remember, if there is
not a personal devil, then Jesus
Christ was tempted by a sin
principle in His own nature. We
must either believe in a personal
devil or a sinful Christ. The Bible
teaches that there is a personal
devil and that Jesus Christ was
the sinless Son of God.
J. H. Gadsby, regional officer
of the national park service, has
announced that more than 50 new
state parks are being established
in the southeast to provide re
creational facilities for public
use. The new parks include more
than 7,000 acres in Georgia which
will be developed jointly by state
and federal governments.

BONUS ADDRESS IN

World War veterans will re
ceive their bonds in settlement
of adjusted service certificates
even it they are addressed “in
care of” someone else. Cecil
Hall, commander of the Georgia
Department, Disabled American
Vetrans, was informed.
If veterans give such ad-
I dresses, however, they will re
ceive the bonds only after pro
viding iidentitication of them
selves which will be satisfactory
to postal representatives.
The Postoffice Department has
decided to adopt this policy, Mr.
Hall was informed in a communi
cation received from Thomas
Kirby, national legislative chair
man of the D. A. V., at Washing
ton.
Mr. Kirby’s message said:
“The Postoffice Department
has decided to change its policy
in refusing to deliver bonds ad
dressed ‘in care of’, so that such
addresses given by veterans will
be satisfactory. However, these
bonds are to be delivered to the
addressee only, who will be re
quired to provide identification
satisfactory to postal represent-,
atives.
“The D. A. V., suggested and
the Postmaster General agreed
that a notice will shortly go for
word to every first, second and
third class postmaster to call,
within the next month, a meeting
of the officials of service organi
zations in their respective com
munities, for a complete discuss,
ion of this of this whole proceed
ure.
“It should be understood that
under the law the government
has no obligation to deliver the
bonds on June 15, but Postmas
ter General Farley promised us
that the delivery will definitely
start on that morning and will
be completed by the end of the
week of June 15 for all whose
bonds are in the hands of the
postoffices.”
Veterans were urged to use
speed in filing their applications
for adjusted service certificate
bonds, so that their delivery
might be expected after June 15.

ALAMO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, May 8, 1936
STREAMS TO OPEN
JUNE IFOR FISHING
Contrary to some beliefs, hook
and line fishing in the fresh water
streams of Georgia is prohibited
during the spawning season
from April 15 to June 1.
The State Department of Game
and Fish said last week the law,
passed several j ears ago, pro
hibited fishing during this season
is still in effect.
The following is quoted from
the pamphlet of the Fish and
Game Department setting forth
game and fish laws for 1935 and
1936:
“It is unlawful to fish in any
of the fresh waters between the
dates of April 15 and June 1.
Phis does not apply to trout
streams in north Georgia, in the
counties of Catoosa, Chattooga,
Dade, Dawson, Fannin, Gilmer,
Gordon, Habersham, Lumpkin,
Murry, Pickens, Rabun, Steph
ens, Towns, Union, Walker,
White and Whitfield. The closed
season in the streams of these
counties is between the dates of
November 15 and March 31, in
clusive. However, fishing in all
lakes in the above named coun
ties is prohibited from April 15
to June 1.
“A private pond is a pond
which lies wholly in the bounds
of a single ownership, and which
fish can not pass to other waters
under other ownership. The
owner of a private pond, bis
tenants and their families, with
the consent of the owner, may
fish in such pond at any time.”
Wicker-Hartley
Os interest to a wide circle of
friends was the marriage of Miss
Helen Wicker to George Zelma
Hartley, which was quitely
solemnized Sunday afternoon,
May 3rd., Rev, L. B. Strickland,
pastor of the tirstßaptistChurch
performed the ceremony.
The bride’s blonde loveliness
was accentuated by a smart en
semble of navy blue crape, with
a soflely draped silk blouse of
pink. Her accessories were of a
matching tone. Witn this she
wore a shoulder corsage of sweet
heart roses.
Mrs. Hartley is the youngest
daughter of Mrs. Maggie Wick
er. She possesses a charming
personality, and takes an active
part in religious and social acti
vities. She was a member of the
graduating class of 1933, Wheel
er County High School.
Mr. Hartley is the oldest son
of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hartley.
He graduated from Wheeler
County High School in 1932, and
later attended Middle Georgia
College, Cochran. Mr. Hartley
comes from a very large and
prominent family. He is at pre
sent engaged in farming.
The couple will make their
home with the bridegroom’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Hartley.

TALMADGE FOE
WRITES GEORGIAN
Newnan, Ga
May 2, 1936
Atlanta Georgian:
I noticed a man from Smyrna,
Ga., wrote anarticle to The Geor
gian commending Talmadge on
his tax reduction and the $3 auto
tag. He said it was a great help
to him and he believed in giving
the devil his dues. I just want to
say that Talmadge dosen’t de
serve any credit. He has done
nothing to receive credit for. He
has tried to tear down everything
that President Roosevelt advo
cates. He has tried to bring re
proach on the national adminis
tration. He left his home state
and went to other states to criti
cize President Roosevelt and his
administration when he should
have been at home looking after
the interests of the State of
Georgia and the welfare of the
people of Georgia.
Talmadge fired Messrs, Hamil
ton and Harrison, which he had
no right to do, inasmuch as they
had not failed to discharge their
duty as duly elected officers
elected by the voters of Georgia,
and when he took his soldiers
and ran them out of their offices,
he hurled an insult in the face of
every voter who voted for these
able officers. A wise being says:
‘lf we live by the sword we shall
also perish by the sword.’’
The same voters that put him in
office will put him out forever.
I think he is the worst enemy,
yliticaliy speaking, that the
Slate of Georgia has ever had,
and I say: “Away with such a
man! Let him be destroyed!”
He even went to Macon and
organized a Grass Root Conven
tion, thinking, I guess, that be
would be nominated for Presi
dent of the United States. But
when the National Democratic
Convention meets he will see bow
the name Talmadge goes up
there.
In the decision of three judges
one was in Talmadge’s favor and
he (Talmadge) thinks that doci
sion ought to stand. He is an
advocate of one-man rule and he
wants to be dictator, but let me
tell Talmadge and whoever it
may concern that many years
after he has trodden the wine
press alone, no one man will ever
run this country or any state of
the Union. Talmadge is political
ly dead and doesn't know it.
Some of our Representatives
signed a petition to ask the Gov
ernor to call an extra session
and some of them withdrew their
names. We don’t need such men
to represent the people. We
need men who will stand for
right principles, men who will
hew to the line and let the chips
fall where they will. We need
men who will pass laws to oust
the Governor if he goes wrong,
for we never know when we will
get a crook in the Governor’s
chair.
Talmadge boasts of his Jeffer
sonian Democracy. I think he is
minus all Democratic principles.
Until this mess is settled, the
state can have an election and
rid itself of this man. May Al
mighty God help us!

“yes” was the reply.
“How much are they please?”

“Ma wants a package of dye
