The following extract from
The Citizen of last week shows
what some counties ,are doing
for protection of "our forests
from fire. It would be well if
Madison county might ; make
some appropriation for . the
fighting pf fire in -the forests of
the county. Perhaps no county
in the state has -so much forest
and with the Highways passing
through we heed to have some
protection.'.' A sum like $150,00
or a little more would not be
missed and the value of timber
and forest saved would amount
to many times the sum. Orfe
little fire cost more - than the
amount of s the appropriation.
In labor and value of 'timber
saved last Fall one fire cost
$400,00. An ounce of prevent
ion is worth a pound, of cure.
The News-Record askes the
Board of County Commission
ers that they co-operate with
the State Warden and receive
many times the-. value . back
that they give; r

mcnthsago from Massachusetts, ; Messer will be long remembered
he explained, and took charge
of the work here. . Formerly,
the State Forester h a d had
chargq of all, the detailed work
but'with the increase in Im
propriations for forestry-vroirEit
became necessary to have some
assistance. "We a r e making
very encouraging progress,"
reported the phief fire warden.
'What we need is more co-ope
ration from the people in using
care ; with fi re; in reporting
fires Dromntlv to local wardens.
!anq in giving evidence to war
dens as to how fires are start-
rlamedfd." In speaking of the dam-
age dene by : fires the Warden
pointed out that they destroyed
valuable timber, burned up the
mulch and leaf : mold, in the
weods any caused the water to
fun off quickly after rains and,
therefore adversely a ff e c ted
thai streams, that they destroy
ed the fish, . drove ; the game
from the woods and destroyed
the beauty of the forests.

The first time that we met
the subject of this article wa3
at a Sunday School Convention
on Little Pine and he had the
say there for he was president
of the Sabbath School Union of
the ' county.' It , if a peculiar
ganizer of Sabbath Schools came
here to find out how he could
put Madison County on the list
he found one "of the oldest or
ganizations here dating baci
some seventy1; five years. .The
president at that time was Mr
Jasper Ebbs who was worthily
continuing the ;; work started so
jnany years before. Hardly a
man or woman , in ' the county
does not know Mr. ..Ebbs for he
las been Connected 'with the
pupae scnoois ror many many
years as member of the Countv
Board. ' Under him the. school
system has grown from a prim",
itive thing -to a system well or
ganized. ' Instead of 1 1 h e log
school house we ' have many
consolidated schools a n d six
months term of . school. . Then
many of the' pebple know Mr,
".Ebbs because as a surveyor 3iV
las marked many of the farms
:and , lands of , the county. In J
face of opposition and notwith
standing the opposition he has
a place that is acknowleged as
I leading : in! the ' county. In his
own section he is sWell ." know'n
arid febm his home have gone
out sons and daughters who
have also taken a -place in-the
business world and also in poli
tics "The energy of the faher
has descended, upon' the .sons.
A life long democrat and demo
crat to the core Mr. Ebbs has
fought for his party and has
reaped ts reward in his un
i assailable position on the school
Board. The News-Record re

THE MAN WHO DIED FOR ME
Memory is a GREAT, ART GALLERY It is one long
series of photographs of an eyjl man's sins or a good man's
deeds. And some, day it is going to be revealed every bit
of 4t-to the whole wide world, or -a goodly portionof it, at
. least " God buried Pompeii for two thousand years, and
then causedan excavator, to reveal the rooms of a , house
which were covered and filled with such ' suggestive evil
scenes as to receive the contempt df all mankind. So will
He do With the GREAT ART GALLERIES OF THE
MIND'SOME DAY. Whether they be good or bad. If you
don't believe it just come to the Baptist Church on Sunday
night and we shall do our best tp prove it to you, when we
shall take as our subject "PICTURES OF MEMORY."
; In the morning we, shall have our PRE EASTER service,
and will take up, as our line of thought; "THEMAN WHO
DIED FOR ME." This will ba a fore-runner othe folow
ing Sunday Morning the - Easter one, yod know, when we
Shall preach, God willing, on '.'THE MAN WHO ROSE
FROM THE DEAD." . ' - '
Here's a mental stimulant read it the other day. Think
it out for yourself. "A Houston ' boy with ' two dollars
went to buy a dog. The dealer wanted three dollars for the
pup , " The boy went, to a pawnshop and pawned his $2 for
J$1.50. On his way up street he. met his professor of mathe
matics and sold him the Dawn ticket, for S,i sn ihen hmirtfct
Ahepup. Who's out the dollar? '
Let's not back up, but buck up, and "BUCK Up FOR
t GOD AND RIGHT," realizing, as Service has expressed
it. " , . ,
"Just think some night the stars will gleam-
, Upon a cold grey stone, .
And trace a name with silver beam," . . ' . ,
Aid lo! 'twill be your .own." .
Come and see me Sunday. Will do my best to treat you
right, . . : . -

truth the tremendous truth that is so forcefully brought
