Government Ownership.
Paris experience with her. tele
phone and telegraph operators is an
unmstakable warning to our preach
ers of government ownership. In
France and England. the telephone
and the telegraph, as means of com
munication, are placed in the charge
Of the postofice, and the three classes
Of employees form one department Of
the government. Unrest felt by the
telephone workers, say, is sure %
spread among the others, their once
fellows, though not in the same line.
Consequently, the telephone operators
strike has tied up the whole French
postal service. This government, If 1t
owned the telegraph and the tele-
phone, would run them through tae
Postmaster General and constantly
face Paris present plight, having no
means of communicating except the
primitive walking or mounted courier.

THE CURSE OF THE SOUTH

What is the matter with the South?
According to government report of
1908 1.-THE Secret is out at last: The
Southerner, contrary to current opinion
is not Lazy, Shiftless, Indifferent or
Careless. "He is Sick" The South
is afflicted with, and harbors that most
treacherous and destructive of all
diseases Anemia, Pernicious Anemia.
The average Southerner is a sufferer
of this Health destroying Parasite
which destroys the red blood cells pro-
ducing an impoverished condition of the
blood; which is characterized by extreme
Pallor, General Debility, Weakness,
Loss of Vigor, Lack of Ambition, and
general undermining of Vitality.
The CLIMATE and ATMOSPHERIC
conditions destroy the Vitality. Let
him get over it, get rid of it. Get well,
and he is as good physically as the best
America can boast. If there is health
of the slightest degree in your system,

One morning last week the pupils
Of the primary department of the
public schools attended chapel exer-
cises, which were lead by one of our
local ministers that morning. The
preacher began his prayer with Our
Father and the boys ana girls, WHO
had frequently repeated the Lords
prayer in chapel, promptly joined In,
as they supposed was intended and
repeated the prayer. After the
"Amen,". the Reverend gentlemen, who
did not intend to repeat the Lords
prayer at that time, made second
attempt 70 pray. and began as before,
by saying Our Father" but before he
could say another word the pupils were
again saying the Lords prayer and
when they finished the prayer the
second time the situation was too

Mothers Day.

Last'Sunday was Mothers Day." a
day set apart for the mothers of the
nation. The outward sign of the OBJ
seryance was the wearing of white
carnation, because its whiteness stands
for purity, its form for beauty, its fra
GRANGE for love and It's lasting qualities
for faithfulness-all true mothers
virtues. The demand for white car
nations on Saturday was greater than
the supply, and notwithstanding the
fact that the price had been doubled,
about two hundred carnations were
sold here and then many people were
disappointed because they were unable
to get the flower even at ten cents
apiece.
Rev. A. d. Mckay preached special
