Sometimes we get discouraged because
our cause does not move ahead to fruition
as fast as we hoped. But cheer upl After
clouds, sunshine. few verses may help
to clear our vision.
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers,
While error, wounded, writhes in pain.
And dies among her worshippers.
Yea, though you lie upon the ground
While those who helped thee fly in
fear,
Die full of hope and manly trust,
Like those who fell in battle here.
Another hand the sword shall WELD,
Another hand thy standard wave,
Til from the trumpet's mouth is pealed
The blast of triumph DER thy grave.
BRYANT on the Battlefield.
Gerald Massey in Tomorrow" says,
We're beaten back in many fray,
But still new hope we borrow
For where the vanguard halts to-day
The rear will camp tomorrow.
The vets say, "Why not disband trS An
Eighteenth Amendment, what use is the
League now unless it is to keep up a con-
tention, pay lot of fellows, and spend
lot OF money!" Maybe so, maybe so. I
think hear the Persians say to Alexander,
"Say, you have about conquered the world,
why not disband that uncouth, awkward
Macedonian phalanx, it is no good now?"
If they did say that, I hear Alexander say.
"Well, you fellows, when you fully sur
render, maybe I will, but not until I CON-
quer." The League is the temperance
Macedonian phalanx.
Some wet editors make a joyful noise
when some dry agents prove recreant to
the cause, or some who were officers, yield
to brides, etc. They say the dry cause is
lost look at these failures! Just so, be-
loved. Why not disband the government
If Sinclair or a Fall prove recreant?
Sheriffs, judges, congressman, governors,
fall out by the way, why not give up the
social organization and go back to an
archy or socialism? o. what logicians
these fellows on the high stools make.
There is one thing they are adopts in, that
is begging the question.

GERALD BAKER AND WIFE
ARRESTED ON BAD CHARGE

Tuesday morning Gerald Baker
, and his wife Pauline Spung Baker
of this place were placed under ar
rest, charged with obtaining goods
under false pretense. 1t is alleged
that Baker and wife purchased Of
the Miller Undertaking and Furni
ture company, household goods to
the amount of $870.25. They stated
at the time of the purchase of goods,
which was in October and November,
that 1t was to be cash purchase.
Mr.. Carl Miller of the Miller Furni-
ture company states that he made
repeated attempts to collect for the
goods, but without success. In the
meantime Miller learned that the
Bakers had given a mortgage on all
the furniture, which included an
electric refrigerator, also on their
auto, to a finance concern of Zanes-
Vile, on which mortgage they had
obtained the cash sum Of $3.50, and
soon afterward purchased a radio
from Love & Bragg for $167.
Going to the Bakers last Thurs
day, again, for the money due for
furniture. Mr.. Miller told them OF
his knowledge of the mortgage they
had placed upon the furniture, and
Baker wrote Miller a check on the
First National Bank of this place,
for the full amount, telling Mr.. Mil
Ter to hold it for couple of days.
When the check was presented at
the bank Saturday. it was learned
that there were no funds with which
to meet payment. and on Tuesday as
stated, Miller had Baker arrested on
charge named above. Baker asked
that he might go to Marietta and get
in touch with his father John r.
Baker, and they would try and fix up
the matter, so accompanied by Sher-
if Henery and Marshal Drury, he
went to that place, but satisfactory
arrangements then were not made,
and in the evening the older Baker
and his wife came here, in an effort
to get their son out of jail, where
he had been taken after his arrest.
Mayor Shafer ruled that he could
be released only upon giving salts
factory bond. He will likely be ar
raigned soon. His wife is out on
bond. Wednesday, as is stated else
where in this paper, the Miller com
pany filed a suit OF attachment
against Baker for the amount named
and attached all furniture, etc, that
the Bakers had purchased of the
Miller company.
1t is stated that j. r. Baker and
Mrs. Pauline Baker paid off Wed
nesday the mortgage at GAINESVILLE.
Baker is son of j. r. Baker,
road building contractor, who has
had the contract for work on GER
tain roads in this vicinity.
