How About It. — Say neighbor, lets have a heart-to heart talk together. Hew about Religion? Have you got I it? Dont you agree with me that it is a, good thing? Dor.t you think it means, and ungrate ful, and unreasonable, and unwise, ar.,l desperate, to receive so many blessings from the Good Father, and give him nothing in return? Every man in Col quitt owes it to every body else in town to set the best example possible for them. We owe it to one another to help one i another to live right. Do you pay your debts? Lets be honest, and pay up. It is best for the church, the town, your neighbor, your home, and yourself for you to be a Christian. The fact is, we cant afford to neglect our souls. Another thing Religion wont hurt your business, unless your business is wrong. It will not interfere with your pleas ures, unless your pleasures are wrong. And if your business and pleasures are- improper, they ought to be unset. gay, it isnt too late tc improve. Let. quit our meanness, go to church, jvi; some church if not already a member, md ds our best for our community in lustrially, morally, religiously. E. ITuribus Unum. Notice.

Toole with their laughter, t tna Zula, left their home in Colquitt for Dublin to join the members of the associa tion in the Convention to be called to order Monday evening. When we reached Vidalia over the Sea Board Air Line we were yreatly disappointed to find that Hie train for Dublin was gone and ihnt them would not bo another till Tuesday morning. it was hard to wait, knowing that the people es Dublin had plan ned for a great reception. As we waited we fi It that the comn’ittee appointed to meet the memb-Fb and assign them homes would not meet any trains after the opening of the convention; but we decided to go on to Dublin. Tuesday morning as the train containing hundreds of people rol led into the city of Dublin, wo a mong t.ie throng alighted. It it> s.ill a mystery io the editress how a gentleman could distinguish press pe< pie among such a crowd; but it is true that a man whose .. very word mi act betokened a true gentleman stepped toward us as we left the car steps and asked "Are you all here to attend the Preos Convention?” As we an swered affirmatively three lads took _.ur grips and we were requested to accompany the gentleman Air Vivian Stanley who carried us to die Chamber of Commerce. After meeting the distinguished gentle nen there and registering we were assigned to the home of Capt. T. H. Rowe. A handsomejiutomobilu convey ad us to “our home,” and there the host, a pioneer and wealthy citizen of Dubl’ n, who distinguished him self lighting for the lights of h s country in the Civil W ar, and his widowed daughter, Mrs J. A. Cars well, who since her mother’s death several years ago has presided over the household, extended to no a, welcome, the memory of which will gladden our lives as long as reason holds sw ly. As soon as we could make ieady we w-re taken by our hostess to the High School Auditorium to attend a business session of the Press Association. As noon hour approached tin representatives of every paper were requested to get on board a special train and be conveyed to Idyb Wild, a pleasure resort eighteen miles from Dublin. There on the pavilion the press party was served with a feast, b irbecue, stews, sal ads etc., cooked by one experienced in preparing every detail. Upon returning to the cily another business session a’iis heal at the auditorium after which the editors returned to the respective homes assigned. At 8’ oclock Tuesday evening the press party was invited to a b-autifully decorated hall and there twenty large tables each with covers for twelve persons, and jS ivdler tables, were loaded with edibles fit to place before kings and the loyal members of their I hniiseiiold. R 'V. \V. A. Taliaferro pastor of - First Baptist church, was toast master; and as he called for respon ses, his remarks sparKliqg with wit and humor were greeted with bursts of laughter or rounds of ap plause. The most brilliant men of the Association responded, and the hours at the banquet were filled with unalloyed pleasure. Wednesday morning the mem bers in session listened to short but interesting talks, elected offi cers and accepted the invitation to I hold the convention in 1913 in La grange. An appeal fre m Bainbridge the convention to be held there next year was received, but it was not placed before the body. Because Bainbridge is near us the Liberal representatives were anxious for the Convention to be held there but its application, and ihose of Eastman and Milledge ville will be considered next year for the gathering in 1914. Thirteen years ago the Press As sociation was held in Dublin which was then a town of about 2000 in habitants. Dublin now claims 8000 inhabit ants, all of which enjoy the advan tages offered in the most progres sive cities of the nation: and mark this well, the lending citizens at tribute its phenoininal growth to the former convention held thir teen years ago by the Georgia Weekly Press Association. judge George Hilly er Announces For Rail road Commissioner.
