THE young men s prayer meeting seems

Quite number of our people are being
vaccnated.

Until recently the Presbyterian Church
of Acworth was only branch of Mars Hill
Church, short time ago the Acworth
branch withdrew and organized separate
Church. We have nothing to say in regard
TO the cause of the division but hope all will
in the future be united in the efforts for a
common good. Rev A. G. johnson was
selected Pastor of Acworth Church. Rev
Rogers is Minister in charge of Mars Hill
church
The Good Templars of Acworth have
not lost any of their former energy and vim
in putting down and keeping out Of Ac-
worth that "Hydra Headed demon
whiskey At their recent election W. T..
Bate was elected w. Chief and Mrs Ida
Avery W. V. Templar, two of the leading
spirits in Acworth society. Miss Ida never
does anything by halves. No young lady
or young man in Acworth, in high life, is
so aristncratic or stuffed with vanity and
| self-importance to such an extent as to de
bar them from uniting in the noble work
of temperance. We would by no means he
considered invidious but say perhaps nc
two gentlemen have done more than NJ. NJ.
Phillips and r. NJ. Mitchell to put down the
whiskey traffic and whiskey drinking in
! Acworth The people are very well united
in saving no more whisky shops in Ac-
worth.

how is it with yourself brother ArielF
1t is said that one OF our Acworth clerks
a gallant young man saw his country sweet
heart home not long since and his trip on

ENJOYABLE. When he took his leave, the
morning was quite cool and the young la.

of his huggy, and on the genteman's arr
