REV. j. II. GOCkEL
Tho resurrection of the youth Of
Main luke TILT is q threefold re-
violation of our Lord Jesus. Those
people were right who. after Jesus
had awakened the young man from
the dead, exclaimed. God hath visit

apostles resurrected the dead. they
were but instruments of God Not
SO Jesus. Young man. I say INTO
thee. arise" By His w power He
gave life to the dead. Thus this
miracle reveals Jesus to be rue God
with the Father.
Jesus might have healed this
young man before he died But as
in the case Of Lazarus He permitted
the youth to die that the people
might believe John Ills. Believe
what? "I am the Resurrection and
the Life; he that believeth on Me,
though he were dead. yet shall he

stands revealed here as the Resurrec-

This story also reveals Jesus to

who are in trouble whatsoever. His
compassion upon the heart.broken
widow. His healing Of the sick. His
rescue of the disciples upon the

South Georgia Ideal
Area For Winter
Resort For Cattle

ATLANTA, Ga.,- South Georgia
IS the ideal area for winter resort
Tor beef cattle.
This is the opinion of E. R. Terger
townsville editor, and is also clearly
shown by agricultural agents of the A.
B. u A, who have supplied information
10 cattle ralsers in various parts of
the country.
There is in South Georgia an open
range OF pasture, theer is climate most
favorable to inexpensive care of cat
tie and freedom from dangers which
come with severe weather, as Editor
.lerger points out.
Some years ago, train loads of cat
tie were moved from the then arid
southwest which had been smitten by
draught SO that pastures parched
and in Thomas County, Georgia these
cattle remained over winter and in the
spring were in fine shape.
Reports from Wrightsvi1le, Ga, in
Johnson County, show that w. M
Shurling recently shipped in two car
loads of beef-cattle from a distance
and he is feeding them with several
heal more, 100 head in all, through
the Fall and Winter and will put them
on the market next Spring.
X. Z. Sanders, I.R. Turner, and G.
II. F1escott,of the same place have
a carload of cattle each wintering and
will fatten them for an early market
next year. 1t is stated that the fields
OF Johnson county are full of cattle
teed, in fact, considerably more feed
stufts than local stock is able to con-

Urge Fines For
Game Law Violaters

ATLANTA, Ga.,-Enforcement of
the game laws in Georgia will be great
ly facilitated, as we'll as accelerated if
the courts will impose fines TO viola
tons which admit of some compensa-
ton to those game wardens who bring
cases, in the opinion of officials of
the Georgia Fish and Game Associa-
tion of Atlanta. .v
Under the State law, those YNo bring
cases with sufficient evidence to CON
vict, are entitled to three-fourths of
the fine imposed. The courts, in some
instances, have imposed fines, which
were to include costs-and the fine is
little more than the costs-so that
prosecutors have little, if anything left
for their time and trouble.
The association which has its head
quarters at 90 North Broad street in
Atlanta, is composed of sportsmen
from all parts of the state, who are
constantly at work, it is tated, to pro-
tect the fish and game of the state and
create respect for the laws. Hunters
who are joining the association are
not only taking out licenses themseN-
es, but they are urging all spor:smen
to do the same thing.

been brought into existence.
The Leader takes this occasion to
congratulate the active officers of the
Chamber of Commerce, President C.

Owens, for the achievements of the
year.
1924 should register many similar
steps of progress and among them
