ing of pain to any moIneE, esPoSAo'ii5
the mother of some of our Austell
boys, in my remarks few weeks
back.
What | said was not through ma
| lice. but was meant for the good OF
these boys.
l certainly hope "Mother" may
realize her vision in the years TO
come. and that she may not be dlsap-
pointed in the chain for there IS noth-
ing that will speak so well for the
homes. and characters of these boys
in the years to come than to be able
to point to them with feeling of
pride as a noble, upright, and hon,
est citizen-one of 'our Austen
boys.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
Church entertained with Silver Tea
at the home of Mrs Fred Humphrles

There was good attendance, and
a fine contribution, about thlrty-flVe
dollars being realized. The house
was decorated with a profusion OF
plants and flowers, a delightful salad
course with refreshments was sedV-

Quite number of visitors from
the neighboring towns was present.
Easter services were held at the
Presbyterian church, Easter Sunday.
Rev. Russell, pastor, preached at
the morning service, and DR.. Frank
Fowler, of College Park, filling the

The church never looked prettier,
with its decorations of Easter lilies,
bridal-wreath, and dogwood, giving
it such a cheerfur appearance, al
though the day was very disagree
able.
A pipe organ has just been bought
by the members of this church.

The county workers have been do
ing some fine work on the roads in

Mrs. John Davis invited a number

The Liberty Loan Committee met
in Austell Saturday afternoon. They
have decided to male dcivc for fif-
ty-eight hundred dollars worth in
Austell district Let's do our best
with this and the stamps. Both are
to help a cause that is needing it.
We hear some complaint of the
flour limit; if every one feels as the
writer does, they could not relish one
mouthful if they thought these boys
had to go to the front, to battle for
our liberty, hungry. Let's not mur-
mer, but give to them gladly, we
haven't realized what hunger is, but
if this war continues a year longer,
some of us are going to come very
near being hungry. "Willful waste,
makes woeful want. we have vast
ed too much in the past.
