Macon Presbuery.

federation of Presbyterian bodies
throughout the land. United in this
manner PreSbyterianism would rank
as one of the great churches of the
land from numerical standpoint.
There are many who believe that its
power for good would be greatly en-
HANGED in this way, and that its for
ward movement would then be at a
vastly more rapid rate than now.
The sentiment toward a closer
union is strong in all the evangelical
church bodies at this time," said Mr..
Iryin. I'VE see the signs of it not only
in the churches of the PRESBYTERIAN
faith, but in those of the Methodist
and Baptist and other denominations.
The leaven is working and the churches
entertaining practically the same doe
trines and under similar forms of
government must draw closer and clos
er together. 1t is because the articles
of agreement are regarded as the first
step toward closer organic union at
some time in the distant future that
many Presbyterians in the Macon
Presbytery are opposed to it. [ have
no doubt, though, that the majority of
the Presbyteries in the South will favor
it, and that eventually we will be
drawn closer to our brethren through
out the land, !"

COMPLIMENT TO JUDGE LITTLEJOHN
Press Speaks iM Able Terms of Able
JuriSt.

Judge u. A. Littlejohn presided
recently at Schley superior court, and
the Schley County News accords him
the following compliment which is
fully endorsed by the Times Recorder
as well as by the press of this circuit
and the state generally.
sit can be truthfully said that Judge
Littlejohn is the most popular official
with all Schley county people that has
ever served upon the Superior court
bench of the county.
Aside from his great ability as a
Judge, which is recognized throughout
the state, he. by his manner of fair
dealings together with his affable
character, makes strong friends of all
who know him.
"Out of his long term of service in
this county we have yet to learn of an
enemy he has made or criticism at
taehed to his official acts-a state of
conditions most remarkable, in view
of the fact that he has ever enforced
law without fear or favor, or the hope
of future reward.
''Now, the Judge didn't ask us to
say this about him; everybody knows
he is too modest to do a thing like
that. He's just such fine fellow
until we couldn't let him come to
Ellaville and go away without saying
something NICE

Rev. j. l.. Irwin, of the Americas
Presbyterian church. voted for the
articles of agreement at the meeting of
Macon Presbytery at Columbus. He
was one ofthe six in attendance who
took this progressive step. Seventeen
voted against'it.
The Macon presbytery bids fair to
be the only Presbytery in Georgia
taking the adverse position on the ar
tieles lof agreement. The Savannah
and Atlanta Presbyteries have both
voted favorably on them by large
majorities.
The Macon Presbytery" said Mr..
Irwin Yesterday in discussing the mat
ter, is an exceedingly conservative
one, its people are somewhat inclined
to go very slow along new paths, and
they are not yet prepared, 1t seems,
to favor steps which tend toward an
ultimate union of Presbyterian bodies. -
What do the articles of agreement
proposes TO bring about?" Mr.. Irwin
was asked.
Merely an association for fraternal
purposes, not a federation of the
churches was the reply. ''There Is
no doubt, though, that their adoption
would be the means of gradually
uniting the churches until in the end g,
although it might be many years off,
there would be a practical working

STEADY INCREASE IN DEPOSITORS
Small Savers Utilizing Advantages Of
Bank of Southwestern Georgia.

There is a steady increase in the
number of the small depositors at the
Bank of Southwestern Georgia, those
who have availed themselves of the op
portunity this sterling institution offers
for the depositing of small savings on
which four per cent. interest is paid
The steady expansion of the deposits
of this character tells the story of the
prosperous condition of the commun-
ity.
The fact that hundreds of men, wo-
men and children have opened deposits
and are gradually accumulating mon
ey, which is earning money for them,
is one of the best evidences of the pro-
gressive spirit of the community.
The Bank of Southwestern Georgia
by its continually impressing upon the
public mind the necessity of laying
aside money for the day when it will be
needed, is assisting in the inculcation
of proper financial principles in the
minds of the public and is doing its
full share in lifting Americus to high
er level of material prosperity.
