FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH..

Rev. H. l.. Weeks, pastor of the
Baptist church has sent in the fol-
lowing announcements:
Mr.. Weeks will preach Sunday at
II a. m. on the subject: "Christ A.
mong the Common Things of Life"
The 8 p. nj. subject will be: "God
Awaiting Mans Answer"
The Sunday School is planning a
Rally-Day for Sunday Sept. Oath.
This will be Promotion-Day also in
the Sunday School and the aim will
be to have 1000 Of the roll present.
The teachers are specially urged to
make an effort to get out all the pu-
nils for Sunday the 18th and oath.
The Sunday School teachers and
officers are planning to have a Sum-
dav School Institute some time be-
tween now and Nov. 18th. DR.. T. j.
Watts and some of his helpers will
be invited to conduct this Institute
and all those who wish to do so will
be given an opportunity to study the
Manual of Sunday School Methods
and receive a diploma toward a larg-
err and better Sunday School and it
should elicit the sympathy and CO.
operation of all of the members of
the church.
The B. Y. P. U. is doing splendid
work now and should find a ready
response in the hearts of all the
young people of the church. 1t is the
hope of the young people of the
church to be an AL union from the
very start. All those who are inter-
ested in better preparation for
church work are cordially invited to
attend these meetings.
The church reports to the associa-
ton this year a total of 486 men,
bers. 1t would be a glorious consum-
nation if we really had 486 who
meant business for the King and
would cooperate in the work of the
church.
The prayermeeting of the church
is growing in attendance now. There
is room for more. These meetings
will prove a real source of inspira-
ton to all those who will attend.

magazine which tells of a number of
prizes to be awarded in guessing
contests on the price of furniture,
mattresses, etc., and which asks for
names for different furniture pat
terms. The Corp. says he has in
enough guesses to win about $1,000
and is reasonably certain that he
will get about $500. The checks are
to be mailed Saturday and he will
hurry home to open his letters and
cash the enclosed checks. He will pay
his part for the new parsonage out

GOD BLESS THE FARMERS
FOR THE SWEET POTATOES

The New Orleans Item insists that
all is not lost-that the sweet pota-
TO is here to save; to comfort; to
cheer; to provide. Hear the Item:
Grin, you lovers of good things to
eat, you gourmands and native cpl
Grin, for the news is good.
Strikes to the North, strikes in the
East, more strikes in the West; coal
running low; trains breaking down;
roads still lost in the mud; elections
and dog-days upon us; all the trials
and tribulations of modern life are
ours; but grin, brethren, for out OF
Baton Rouge comes the good news,
the soul-warming, heart-cheering,
stomach-pleasing news. Louisiana IS
raising a bumper sweet potato crop.
All! that reached you, didn't it?
Sweet potatoes, luscious, sugary,
"yeller yam" sweet potatoes! Man,
don't that tickle your palate in an
ticipation?. Sweet potatoes, boiled,
baked, fried and candied, but good,
however they be fixed. Hot roast
pork, fanked by the yellow beauties,
with a good gravy poured over all!
'Possum and potatoes! "Yeller YAM
potatoes, golden masses of mellilu-
GUS sweetness!
The coal strike will freeze us; the
rail strike is spreading; cold weather
is coming; the Republicans the
nation and the whole darn country
is going to the demnition bow-wows
but what does it matter? There's
bumper crop of sweet potatoes COM
ing out the ground.
! God bless the farmers!
The world does not appreciate the
sweet potato. The United States does
not. In the South we know it's worth,
but in the West and East and North
the people do not understand.
But the time will come when the
sweet potato will come into its own
when it will become the principal
single article of food in America.
This will follow when there is more
work like the very admirable work
which the agricultural department
of the Georgia Railroad did in the
Northwest recently as to the sweet
potato.-Augusta Chronicle.

Accept Form of Government
Prior to the selection of his Cabinet
, and directly after his interview with
King Victor Emmanuel, Mussolini, ad-
dressing the great crowds from the bal
cony Of a hotel, declared with great
emphasis:
1--WE have not accepted the form of
ministry but have accepted the form Of

checred.
"And," he added, "Italy will have a
government from now on"
Mussolini then called upon the crowd
to acclaim, "Long live the King! Long
live Italy! Long live the Fascismo'
The fact that the former reyolutionist, t,
now Italy's Premier, placed the King
first was commented upon and cheercd
by the multitude.
Wearing a black shirt and showing
traces of his loEg journey by train and
automobile, Mussolini presented him
self this morning before the King, who
greeted him warmly. The square in
front of the Quirinal was filled to
oyerfowing and Fascist and regulars
joined in keeping order. His departure
from the palace was the occasion for
another enthusiastic demonstration,
the crowds falling in behind his auto
mobile and marching TO the Hotel
Savoia, where the Fascist were in full
charge, no regulars being visible.
All Rome awoke early and proceeded
calmly to the various gates through
which the Fascist were expected to
enter the city, but on learning that
their formal entry had been postponed
the citizens returned and congregated
in the various squares, buying the
morning papers, which had ignored the
law forbidding publication on Monday
