Atlanta, Ga, September 22.-The
dfashioned polka and minuet will
share honors with the new Liberty
waltz at the Confederate reunion in

For the first time in the history OF

OF the many kidney demedies ON the

ty thousand benefited people gladly
testify in the newspapers of their
own towns. Forty-tive hundred Amer
lean newspapers publish this home
proof of Doan's merit. The type used
in one year to tell this wonderful
story would make a solid column OF

highest mountain. Placed end to end
the lines of type would reach from

Ben. p. Fleming, constable OF Ma

Il have used Doan's Kidney Pills off

Again, the dance program will be so
arranged that the minuet and the
Polka will alternate with the one-step

take the floor and to the strains of

SCENE FROM "THE TRAIL OF THEE LONESOME PINE
THEATER WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 81

But the most immediate and practical
profit he can have is from saving.
The Government now is offering the
besN opportunity for saving and invest
ment ever oered to the people, in the
sale of War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates These
securities may be bought at any time
and turned into cash at any time
and always at profit. They offer the
opportunity for every farmer to be
his own banker. By investigating as
much as can be spared from his ev-
eryday uses in Savings Stamps and
Certificates, a reserve and a working
capital fund can be built up that will
free him from the burden of interest
on borrowed money.
1t requires the same sort of sacrifice
for a time, that the people made dur
ing the war. The people had a pros
perity, of sort during the war. Their
money receipts were high and many
bought Government bonds. But many
of those bonds have been sold in re-
cent weeks so that the people could
indulge themselves in luxuries of one
kind or another.
This extravaganza must be checked
or day of severe reckoning will
come. 1t can be checked by sating
and sane investment The farmers of
the country can be leaders and most
powerful influence in restoring nor
nal peace conditions by needing the
Presidents words and acting upon
them. The need of the nation is for
all the people to Produce and Save.

Receives Souvenirs
From France

On Monday, June 2, Mrs. Howard
Jester, formerly Miss Anna Sanborn.
of this town, received few souvenirs
from her husband who is still in
France. One was brass vase made
from rs Dec. French shell and the
design hammered on it was done by a
French soldier blinded by gas. The
design is the shield OF France An
other was a large piece of an Ameri-
can Flag. This piece of flag has
wonderful history. In a little town
south of Mangiennes, where the Pio-
neers were stationed-there were only
seven women and two small boys left.
The Germans held the town through
out the entire war, and when it as
evacuated, these omen took the Ger
man officers clothing left behind and
made an American and French flag
out of it. Just as the last German
marched from the town the flags were
placed on the cathedral by one of the
boys.
Corporal Jester had a chance to
view these flags at close range and
noticed large piece missing from
the American flag. He searched the
surrounding country with field glasses
until he found the piece in a tree a
quarter of mile away After he had
! secured the piece one of the seven
women told him the above history.
Corporal Jester was offered $40 for
the piece of flag, but refused, prefer
ring to retain it as a souvenir.
He also sent small pair of white
baby shoes which he purchased at
Longwy, France, for his little two
months old daughter, whom he has
never seen. There was also a funny
contrivance that resembles a belt
but just what it is or is used for has
not yet been determined.
Some time ago Corp. Jester sent a
! German helmet and gas mask home
which are highly priced by his family.

The Children's Day exercises at the
Presbyterian Church were especially
well attended and of unusual interest.
The church was profusely decorated
with daisies and ferns. Laurel on
white background gave a beautiful
effect, covering the entire portion back
of the pulpit.
Recitations were given by Caroline
Norton, Elizabeth Tiffany, Carolyn

Solos were sung by Erika Grothenn
and Charlotte Hossinger, a duet by
Mrs. j. Pearce Cam, and a quartette
by Catherine Holton, Mary Johnston,
Agnes Miller and Muriel Conrad.
The entire congregation joined in
singing number fbeautiful Child
ren's Day choruses.
The occasion also marked the 2Oth
anniversary of the marriage of Rev
and Mrs. Rowan, who We're surprised
to receive from the cangregatian,
through their spokesman, George L.
Medill, purse of $S6.
In the evening, Hon. L. Irving Han
dy, cf Smyrna, delivered an address
or the greatest of Orators. He re-
viewed the early life of Christ in un,
lettered Nazareth anc recalled to the
minds of his hearers the marvel Of
producing in such an environment nt
such matchless eloquence, such keen
philosophy as are evidenced in the
gospels which he quoted copiously tc
prove his assertions. He dwelt dra.
matica'ly on the evidences of Christ's
commanding presence, His power anc
dignity of gesture and the wonderful
carving power of His voice as evi
denced by the points from which HI
addressed His hearers-the mountain
top, tn, seaside.
The speaker quoted particular,
from the parallels and called atten
ton to the difficulty of producing thi
particular form of oratory.
After the address Mr.. and Mrs
Handy held an informal reception AM
