Neat ACrOstic,

A friend of the News being inspired
by the wedding of our junior editor to
Miss Ruby Chadwick Tuesday of last
week, like Silas Wegg, Dickens fam
GUS character, ''relapses into poetry"
and sends us the following acrostic,
which we consider very neat, and also
very nice of the gentleman. We ap-
preciate the delicate way in which he
expresses his wishes for our future
wellfair. The acrostic is as follows,
the initial letters of each line forming
the names of the parties concerned.
Cupid, thy reign has now begun,
Hold these two hearts together,
Always guard them that they be one,
Doing thy will forever;
Weld them by thy adhesive power
I'm way so they can't sever,
Cling them together each day and
hour,
Keep them as one forever.
Hoping your days r1ay be happy and
long,
In your welded life plenty and pleas
ure,
Let all of your cares pass by as a song
Live life of joy without measure.

INTERESTING SERVICES
HELD SUNDAY

Interesting services were held at
Owen Church Sunday in the interest
of the State wide prohibition move
ment
The afternoon service at 3 O'Clock
was devoted TO a discussion Of the
movement, and committee TO solicit
members of Auti-Saloon League and
for the purpose of collecting funds
was appointed with officers as follows:
Rev. W. D. Dew, president; Rev. J.
c. Clonce, of Whitwell, vice-president;
]. E. DeSabla, secretary; j. S. Deak-
ms, treasurer. Interesting remarks
we're made succeeding an address by
Rev. w. ID. Dew.
At the evening service Rev. Dew de-
livered fine and scholarly sermon on
"The Triumph of the Church Over
Evil Forces, - text from 1916 Mathew:
"Thou art Peter and upon this Rock
will build my church, and the gates
of hell shall not prevail against it. "
His sermon was evidently the result
of much research, and was heard with
close attention. A good choir composed
of Misses True and Nina Randle, Mrs.
Dew and Messrs. Randle, Blanton,
Sherman and Curtis, furnished the us
ual high-class song service. Mr.. Blan-
ton furnighed a solo, new arrange
ment of words to the well-known air
of "Where is My Wandering Boy To-
night"
Other members of the committee
named at afternoon service are as fol-
lows: Thomas H. Hill. Chas. Curtis
and J. S. Bennett. Among the men,
bers are the following: W, R, Thorn
as, R. E. Blanton, q. W. Robbins, II.
L. Barrett, J. K Barrett, Frank Law
son, W. s. Wilson, Edwin Pryor, Robt.
Owens, Byron Bennett, A. J. Hunt,
Mrs. E. S. Haynes, Mrs. J. R. Jones.
Mrs. w. D. Dew, and Misses Grace
Thomas and Louise Hill. A collection
was taken up and the treasurer in
structed to purchase a secretary s
book. The large attendance present
was very gratifying to those who were
behind the movement, as it showed
conclusively that Sequachee is strong
in prohibition sentiments, and that its
citizens are determined to stand in
line against the drink evil, and the
narrowing train of curses that follow
in its wake.
Tonight another meeting will be held
at Owen Church, when it is expected
that the membership will be largely
increased that our town may prove
pattern to outside places in its endorse
ment of state wideism.

cure dyspepsia. In fact you cannot
cure dyspepsia or indigestion that way,
but rather you must add strength tc

stomach cannot digest. Kodol is the
only thing known today that will dc
this, for Kodol is made of natural di

A Generous Act.
ru,.afa 9,~,.aa1

Last summer, while working in
the planning mill of the Sulphur
Timber & Lumber Co., atthis place,
little Freddie Dickeison was caught
in a running wheel band and his
leg was badly fractured. Mr.. Jno.
Hunt, who has the management OF
the company here, took charge OF
the little sufferer, had him taken
to his home, hired the doctor aud
a trained nurse, installed an cleo
trio fan over his bed, and did every
thing in his power to alleviate his
sufferings. But this was not all
this generous company did for its
afflicted employe. After a long
period the little fellow made good
recovery, but will perhaps always
be slightly lame.
The company then had a six-room
modern cottage built at their own
expense ON a lot adjoining the home
of the boys father aud presented 1t
t, the boy.
The house is built of the best
material and in the most modern
style, is one OF the prettiest homes
in town, and is estimated by good
Judges to be worth about $1,000
This generous donation was not
the result of compromise fol
damages, but we are informed by
| Mr.. M. NJ. Dickerson, father of the
little fellow, that it was voluntary
act on the part of the company Of
of whom Mr.. o. E. Hodge, Jno
Hunt, j. b. Baker, }. E. Grain anC
others are members.
1t is such acts that make Lift,
worth living and sustains our be
lief in the existence of the milk o.
human kindness.
