AUSTELL

dress been delivered in Austell than
that by Hon. Hooper Alexander, at
the Methodist Church, Sunday morn
ing. The facts of our present situa-
ton were made so plain that the pa
triotic blood in the veins of some of
his hearers was stirred to the boil
ing point as was shown byp the APP
plause he received time after time.
He made us to see just what we
would have to do to help "our boys"
out in this great conflict, in the part
they are doing for US.
The Church was filled to overflow
ing point as was shown by the ap-
all, as ecah one was eager to catch
all that was said.
The music was furnished by the
band from Camp Gordon, words fail
to express the appreciation of these
boys. | ana afraid when this war
is over, and if we are victorious,
owing to the privations, and strug-
giles these boys have undergone for
us, it will be with some: "We killed
a bear"
1t was sad to see the report in last
weeks Journal that Cobb was so far
behind in it's Stamp sale, are we 60
ing to let this remain so? You arc
not asked to give this money, but to
loan, with a good interest, stop spend
ing money foolishly; and get the
habit of saving, wear a lost summers
hat, or &c bare headed, loan the
money to Uncle Sam, to help thees
boys. This is only one thing, many
more will suggest themselves.
Mrs. Shaw, of Marietta, spent last
week with her sister, Mrs. Harring-
ton. While here Mrs. Shaw was busy
knitting for the soldiers, and now
comes a most interesting point, was
too good to withhold. When Mrs.
Shaw was ready to knit the socks,
she and her sister that lives with
her were talking this over, regret
ing so much their failure to get the
needles, little did they think that
Isabel, servant that they have
raised, was taking it all in; quietly
going out, she returned in a little
while with several bales from lard
pals or cans, suggesting these be
used. Well they thought, why not
straighten them, sharpen and sand
paper, and try them, which they
did. The result as good needles as
could be bought. Now / think Isa-
bel can feel she has done her "bit"
to help on this cause.
