SPECIAL SERVICES AT THE
METHODIST CHURCH SUNDAY

On next Sunday morning there
will be a special service at the Metho-
dist Church. The Sunday School
session and the preaching service will
be merged and the sacrament of the
Lords Supper will be administered.
DR.. Smith is very anxious to have
both the parents and the children at
this service so that they can worship
together and come to the Lords ta-
BILE as families. The family pew has
come to be almost a memory but it
was great and good institution and
we have no good substitute for it. 1t
is sign of real spiritual disease that
families are seldom seen together in
the house of God at the present time
except at weddings or funerals. 1t
is high time that the hearts OF. the
fathers be turned to the children and
the hearts of children to the fathers
and the prophet warns US that with
out this we will be visited by sore
punishments from God himself.

BONDS VALIDATED.

Judge W. D. Ellis, of Atlanta, came
over Saturday and at a hearing in
Chambers, granted and order validat-
ing the bonds of Drainage District
Number One.
Judge Morris being one of the
Drainage Commissioners, was dis
qualified to hear the case.
The bonds will only be issued for
$4,000, more than half the cost of
the project, having been paid in
cash.
The bonds will bear 8 per cent in
terest, and are payable in ten annual
installments and as they are a first
lien upon the land, they are the very
best and safest investment.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

At the Presbyterian Church next
Sunday morning at II o'clock, the
roll will be called. Every member
of the church is earnestly requested
to be present.
That was a splendid congregation
last Sunday evening, and they came

hard at work this week to put on
splendid service next Sunday even
ing. The choir is preparing an ex-
cellent program, quartette by Mrs.
Wyatt, Mrs. Dobbs, Mr.. Hemp, and

DR.. Patton will preach at this ser
vice on the Unbecoming Conduct OF

interesting for each one to seek to
ascertain the scripture n which
this ugly lad is found. A large re-
ception committee of men will be at
the front to welcome everybody, also
a number of ushers to provide COM
Portable seats for all. On the whole

OFFERED ANNAPOLIS APPOINT
MENT.

On Wednesday Archie D. Sessions
received a telegram from Congress
man Lee offering him the appoint
ment at Annapolis.
It wa sentirely unexpected, and
only weeks time is given for the
physical and mental examination,
but Archie wired his acceptance, and
left on Thursday for Annapolis ac-
companied by his father, Mr.. NJ. M.
Sessions, who also had other business
in the east.
To qualify for the appointments
it is usually necessary for a young
man to take a preparatory course
covering some months, but Archie
homes to be able to pass or get an
extension of the time allowed for
preparation.
His high standings in school at
home is evidence of his mental quail
ty. and his gentlemanly character and
department will help to place him IN
the front ranks of any company in
which his lot is cast.
His many friends regret to lose him
to Marietta, but join in wishing. him
success and happiness wherever he
may go

IN MEMORY OF GRADY wEEMS.

The many friends Of Mr.. Grady
Weems were profoundly grieved up
on learning of his death last Monday
April 1st. He had lived in our COM
munity practically all of his life, and
was loved by all who knew him.
1t seems doubly sad for one, in the
zenith of life to be snatched away
so suddenly, but most comforting is
the thought that he was prepared fo
this sudden call. He has been a
member of Bold Springs church the
past two years.
Grady was sick only a few days,
and said when he was taken that he
would not get well, but was recon-
ciled to death and spoke very beauti-
fully of his willingness to answer the
Masters call. Realizing
That death was cen gain to those
Whose life to God was given,
Gladly to earth his eyes he'd close,
To open them in heaven.
Our hearts melt with sympathy
for his aged father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. Wash Weems, his brother
Mr.. Rondolph Weems, of Sardis, and
sisters, Mrs. Merner and Miss Ophe-
liza Weems. The latter to whom Ora
dy was especially devoted. Her be-
ing almost an invalid the last two
years during which time he cared
for her as only kind and loving
brother could.
We can only point to them the God
in whom he trusted, who has power
to heal their broken hearts, and re-
member
His wills are past
His work is done,
And he is fully blest.
He's fought the fight,
The victory's won,
He's entered into rest.
A FRIEND.

Power of the Buzzard.

The power of the buzzard to sail
through the air for long periods with
little or no apparent movement of the
wings is due to its eXpanse of the
wing surface. Birds with smaller wing
surface make up for this by rapidity
of the motion of the wings.
