It (a like the canoer upon the ptomaoh—eating, eating, eating,- pr like the worm that never dieth gnawing at the vitale. It ie only the -men—and the women—the father*, mother*, wive*, that are the real (offerer*, and who can re ceive no panaoea for the ill* whioh pro inflicted upon them. They jook to the church for help, but teeive none,- in their iaolation pnd despair, they go to the Great physician, but, willing a* He ie He cannot help—became the jufferen themeelve* won’t take the preeoription—ea they are dealing out the cancerou* - viru* pnd at reducedprioee to their own* offspring and to their own hue- band*.

IF THEL0RD8H00LDCOME. If the Lord should come to the morning As I went about my work, The little things and the quiet things That a servant cannot shirk, Though nobody ever sees them, And only the dear Lord cares That they always are done in the light of the sun, Would he take me unawares? If my Lord should come at noonday, The time of dust and heat, When the glare is white, and the air it still. And the hoof-beats sound in the street,— If my dear Lord came at noonday, And smiled in mjr tired eyes, Would U not be sweet his looks to meet? Would he take me by surprise? Atlanta. v l*« T l*rtc»ii»nlrair*r*»«iiiir In the fragrant dew ana dusk, When the world drops off its mantle Of daylight like a husk. And dowers in wonderful beauty. And we fold our hands and rest, Would His touch of my hand. His low command, Bring me unhoped-for zest? Why do I ask and question ? He is ever coming to me, Morning, noon and evening, If I have but eyes to see. And the daily load grows lighter, The daily cares grow sweet, For the Master is near, the Master is here, I have only to sit at His feet. The above beautiful line* have been printed upon ribbon and book marks made by Mrs. Ida M. Daviaon to be told, the pro ceed* of which will go towards the enlargement of the parsonage of the First Methodist church. Eve ry person in Athens should have one. They are only 10 cents. Mrs. Drvison is one of those no ble women who devote* their lives to the cause of their Maker, and ■hould be encouraged, for with out them this earth wodld be come a howling wilderneu, and the church a thing of the past. The Holy Bible In the 40th chapter, 22d verse of the book of Genesis it tells ns how Pharaoh dealt just to his ohief baker. We believe he didn’t know his business and was and old slop just like some bakers are today. Yet, so it happened right to him. Nowaday* most baker* are bet ter and don’t need to be banged. Yet, there is a great difference be tween baker* and takers. The Boston Bakeev is a relia ble bakery and give* all around satisfaction. Bread that you buy there is naturally sweet, jutt like nut eat. Ghkei have made our bakery famous, we make them large and email in 60 varie*. Our pie* are eaten on the best table* in town. Thi* is tho truth. It is easy for us to sell after we ore given a trial. . Beeauae our goods are what we claim them to be. BOSTON BAKERY, ’Phone 880, Athens, Qa. Athin* is rarely a favored spot, and yat our peopla are slow to avail themselves of the many ad' vantagas that ara offered. For inatoAoe, the’Atbens Eleo- trio Rsilwa^. Cdo 'at a great ex- psnaa, and with an abiding faith in the future of Athene, have bar- neeeed thewatere for mils* aroud, and brought right to our doors all the pow«r that we need. The reoeot development* in electrioal maeeinery have made it poeeible tit anybody to own a factory of some kind. The email industries are after all what iiAakee to make a town We are glad to eee large buildiage go up. Wish that they were in couree of construction now, so that the money wonld circulate; would like’ to eee a 14-story ho tel, but after that then what ie here to rapport them? The Ohiimber of Commerce ie composed largely of buaineee men, men, men who know every branch of commerce, and they are oblig ed to reoo&nise that what we eay ie true. Then, wouldn’t it be ae well for them to look into and tell different persons a* to what to start and after they degin such an enterpriff to patronise the eame. Savannah has established a cigar factory whioh has grown to be an immense thing, and has a magni. cent pay'rail. Small factories, employing from five to twenty-five people are the the greyest feeders to a town, gp^tlym^neverwas,a better op portune? for men of email means to engaglin paying enterprises. In the course of hie sermon last Sunday night Dr. Hopkins re marked in subetanoe that a nan might cloak his line under reli gion, but sometimes when he least expects it the mask will fall off, and he seen in hie own true light. This ie a fearful thing to contemplate, but it ie neveathe- lees, true. Dr. Hopkine sends truths that burn home to un suspecting listeners sometimes. The terrible treatment of the Jews in Romania is caueng the whole Christian world to revolt at the atrocities. It ie not Christians that would do the deeds being perpetrated upon the Jews. It ie not like Christ, end the ministers Drawing to a Close. Next week the schools will close. It hes been au unprece dented good year for the schools and an exceedingly large number of scholars attended. The work that the efficient teachers have done will be lasting. We have often said that tht public schools of Athens were the best in the land, and we reiterate the assertion with emphasis. If a child starts in at the bottom by the time he paases the ninth grade he is ready for business. We congratulate the superinten dent and the board and every body upon their successful career this year. “Where Ocean Breezes Blow”' la tba pises to go In the summer for rest, \ nenafiso and a real good Urn*.
