LAOS IN A WORTHY CAUSE.

1t is unusual for Terrell county to lag in
any great movement There is great surprise
that there is no organization here for the
fourth enrolment OF the Red Cross. 1t is due
the public to state that the last chairman &C
cepting the appointment has, so far as can
be learned made no effort to launch the move
ment. However, a number of people here
who consider it a sacred duty as we'll as a
high privilege to belong to the Red Cross have
already enrolled. By request Mr.. B. c.
Perry has consented to forward all money
for this purpose to headquarters. 1t is hoped
that in this way Terrell county may yet make
something OF a creditable showing. See Mr.
Perry at once

USING EGGS FROM DAKOTA.

From the Sylvester Local.
Only cold storage eggs are to be had in
this market, eggs perhaps from North Da-
kota or New York. and the price we pay is
five cents each. There is always market for
eggs. One cannot recall the time when this
was not true and yet to secure commodity
which is used every week in the year we have
to go to Dakota for it. Cotton may sell at a
ridiculous price, corn and wheat may be hard
at times to dispose OF at profit, but if there
ever was time when the housewife could
never heard of it. You cannot eat cotton, but
the chicken and egg will always be a tempting
dish

Former Dawson Pastors Remark

From the Moultrie Observer.

Preaching eight thousand sermons has been
only a portion OF the fifty-three years public
ministry of Dr. ]. P McFerrin, who closes a
public and active service of more than hall
a century with the present session of the
South Georgia conference and gees on the
Superannuated list. The matter of preparing
and delivering eight thousand sermons would
one life, but that is not all-probably not halt
of the service rendered by this veteran
preacher to God and humanity. For fifty
three years he has comforted the sorrowing,
buried the dead, visited the SICK performed
countless marriage ceremonies, conducted
prayer meetings, met with official boards, as
sisted in Sunday school and Epworth League
work. attended conferences, Travelled on long
journeys to his work and performed divers
services for the state, for the church and for
society Four years of his early life were CIV
en- in service in the civil war, but that was
only a beginning of his career as tighter. He
has batt1ed against sin and spiritual darkness
with firm faith, stout heart and a strong
body, holding the. sector to which he was as
signed until he was four score years old. Even
now he is loathe to give place to younger
men.
His long service is not to pass unrewarded,
even earth His people at Waynesboro will
provide him home among them tor life and
his church will supply his temporal needs for
the rest of the days he is privileged to So
journ here below. His greater reward awaits
his entrance into the next life. Surely he has
fought a good fight and has kept the faith.
A man who has been privileged to live so
long and perform such remarkable service
must have stored away wealth of experience
es that will afford his yet active mind field
for interesting Illumination during his years Of
we'll earned rest.

PAYING THE BILLS.

From the New York World
Wars are very expensive luxuries and they
must be paid for in many ways quite apart
from the continuing burden of taxation. The
American people are only beginning to pay
for this war. The taxes that they have been
grumbling about are only one small item in
the bill, and the first thing they need to learn
is that there is no political remedy for great
economic evils. The more they rely on gov
eminent at Washington to find a quack cure
in legislation the more serious will be the con-
sequences.

The Lone Quail.

Hank! She's calling, softly calling
Where the forest meets the trail;
Where in shadow leaves are falling
Softly calls frightened quail
In and out of family stirring
Grasses, moves the anxious bird,
Searching, calling, softly whirring,
But can hear no answering word.
She will never hear nor see him
In the dusk he knew so well,
For her mate 4 helpless victim
OF a heartless sniper fell.
