FOR MAN AND BEAST

The following story told on an old
friend and classmate of DR.. Patton
is a good one and will bear repeating:
Visiting recently my good friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hankinson, at Yokena,
/ was reminded that the beautiful and
spacious grounds in front of their
home was once the scene of one of
the most notable gatherings that ever
assembled in this state.
1t was some 30 years ago and the
little church which still stands as
the chief ornament of that delightful
community, had just been erected.
Brother Colmery, the faithful pastor
of the church and the only pastor it
has ever had, was just entering upon
his fruitful labors.
Wishing to set before his people at
the very start a high ideal of intel
ligent and cheerful obedience, he had
prepared a sermon on this text, "Be
yet not as the horse or as the mule
which have no understanding, whose
mouth must be held in with bit and
bride"
After breakfast on the Sunday
morning when this sermon was to be
delivered he walked out into the grove
and began to rehearse it. The sound
of his voice attracted the attention of
number of mules grazing in the
pasture nearby and his gestures
aroused their curiosity. One by one
they came forward and arranging
themselves in a semi-circle around
the preacher, listened with rapt at
tention and evident interest. One or
two of the older ones closed their
eyes and hung down their heads, but
whether in meditation or repose the
preacher could not say. One of the
younger ones seemed full of mischief
and caused some disturbance by bit
| ing and kicking those near him. A
| few of them were at times little in
attentive and gazed about vacantly
and one or two looked at the sun
from time to time as if they wondered
when the end would come. On the
whole it was a very human-like con-
gregation. They appeared to appre-
ciate and understand the preachers
remarks and seemed to be especially
pleased when through the force of
habit he addressed them as brethren.
There was one young fellow, who
evidently had ambibed some infdel no
tions and showed signs of disapproval
occasionally, not in an offensive way
however, but like the ass in Peter
Bell:
! From time to time with motion dull,
Upon the pivot of his skull
Turned round his long left ear"
At the conclusion of the discourse,
when the preacher said ''let us pray"
the congregation evidently misunder-
stood the word and each one began to
bray at the top of his voice and the
meeting broke up in confusion.
Later in the day when the sermon
was repeated in the church a pro-
found impression was made upon the
people and many were surprised at
the unusual fervor of the preacher
and wondered where he got his in
spiration.

CLAUDE MADDOX RE-ARRESTED

Claude Maddox, who was under
bond charged with assault and bat

time ago, was arrested in Thomas
vile last week.
Sheriff Swanson brought him back
and he was lodged in Cobb County

His previous forfeiture of bail will
probably prevent any further allow

 Many people have landed here with no purpose other than to participate in prosperity accu- mulate the money necessary make them rich in thelr own country and then hike back to the home deslfe to change their allegiance Governments or intention to become citizens. They came with the nope and expectation that later, after taking their toll, they would bid goodbye
 America may be the melting pot of the world but this is the element that it has failed to reduce and now that unity and sincere loyalty to our Gov ernment is necessary, and citizenship must be de ciared and proven, it is apparent that class are not fully amalgamated into genuine Americans
 A1nerlca IS wonderful country and the foreign born have helped make it's prosperity and they real Ze the benefits of living here they would have returned long ago to their native hearthsones Knowing this, what about their children?
 man begins to think about the future of his children at the first born and wishes them to be worth more to the world than be-
 Does he have to hope for them that they will re- turn to his birthplace and have the fight that he away from?
 This is not for the present generations bene- fit. It is for their glory

 Some women use so much paint that they look like their compilations were on inside out.
 You often hear of women driving men to drink. But you seldom hear of women driving men away from it. Any husband can tell you that he isn't half as bad as his wife believes he is.
 When you go to a man with a proposition and he huns and haws and says, "Tll think it over," that means that your proposition isn't go- ing to get another thought.

 It must make the shade of the first husband chuckle when he hears his widow lying to the second hus- band what a thoughtful and gener- ous man her first husband was.
 It isn't love of her that makes a man accompany his wife when she goes shopping in a department store. It is fear of her.
