In my letter last week. in quoting
the words of Vance in regard to Pro-
h%ibition. the types made me say,'My
God Almighty" when 1t should have
been, "My God-Abernetby."
The infant of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
is critically i'll at their home
near here, it's little life having been
despaired of. We trust a change may
take place, and it be fully restored to
its devoted parents.
Their friends in this community
deeply ~sympathize with Mr.. and Mrs.

Cured at their home above Ebeneze,

Mr.. Jimmie Perkins is moving his
mill this week from the Hastings place,
near Charles branch, to our neighbour
hood and locating 1t across the road

Our friend Mr.. Geo.. w. Pipkin, who
keeps an accurate record ofall weather
conditions, tells us that the present
month has averaged twelve degrees
colder than last May, He also says
that, in an observation ofimany years,
a cold May is sure to follow a
warm March and April, such as we
had this year.
MI. Brinson, of the orphanage, and
Mr.. J. E. Peterson, of your city, spoke
to a large crowd at Ebenezer last Sun
day afternoon on the subject OF prohi-
bition. Everywhere you go this is the
all important topic of conversation.
In a days travel, especially in the rural
districts, one would hardly know there
was any other election this year but
that of prohibition, and it is growing
pretty warm, too, in some localities.
When we arrive at that point, hat
we do not need any more knowledge;
tina there is no more to learn, that. we
know it all, then it is that we are q
living example OF the words, which
say "A little knowledge is danger
ous." But when we know enough to
realize hat the move we know, the
more there is to learn, and endeavor
to add to our store of information from
everything with which we come in
contact in this life, it is then that we
are safe, and our advancing years will
find us with a well stored supply of
the kind ct knowledge that is power.
