The general assembly of the Pres
byterian church in session at st. Louis
has recommended that all churches of
that denomination set aside an ap-
preparation each year to be used in
advertising in the newspapers in their
community. During the past few
years many churches have used paid
advertising to advantage. 1t is safe
to say that within a few more years
the business man or the organization
of any sort that does not believe in
the value of advertising will be a
curiosity, indeed.-Lyons Progress.
We are often puzzled to under
stand why so few church leaders neg
lect to use the papers more freely in
keeping the church before the peo-
pie, particularly when the space and
service is generally offered them free
ly.

Speaking of "Bill' Harris, "Bill"
Bryan, congressional bills and 9TH
ers, just wait till the Georgia legis-
lature convenes and you'll hear some
thing sure enough about bills. The
hopper will be choked full on the
day of the first grinding. Why? Be-
cause, for one reason, about every
legislator will want to start some
thing to save the state following the
turbulent times produced by the war.
Reduced. down to the last analysis
only about five per cent of the bills
will be worth while. Georgia has too
many laws on the statute books.
What the state needs is bill-killer
in the legislative body.-Commerce
Observer.
The trouble will be that the hop
per will be so full Of bills that nee
essary legislation never has show,
and always has to be passed "half
baked"

We know a man who yelps loudly

liberty away from him. And yet his
wife keeps the ice box locked so ne
can't get anything to eat unless she
says so.-Butler Herald.

ternoon was very unfortunate as both
of the negroes were good workers.

whiskey, they are responsible for this
negro's death and the sooner the
guilty parties are caught the better.

One of the best all-round weekly
newspapers in the state is the Mari

it can be profitably published at $1.OO
per year-if such be the case-ought
to be told at the approaching session
of the Georgia Press Association

Well such is the case, and hard
work and close attention to business
is the answer, but we might give you
some details and sidelights if you
meet US at the convention.
The biggest fool in the world is the
man that knocks the churches. Even
though he finds himself unable to
believe the tenets of the Christian
faith, he is unseeing and unthinking
if he fails to visualize the great good
accomplished by our Christian Pro-
testant hurches.-Conyers Times.

in their knocking, and the strange
thing about it is they are blind to
the fact that they are knockers.
