PUBLIC LEDGER SATURDAY. NQVTm STOVALL. NEWS ITEMS (Correspondence Public Ledger) Old Time 'Possum Hunt An old time 'possum hunt was en joyed last Monday night by ladies and gentlemen of a party of 17. Mr. B. V. Butler, that good old jolly fellow was the foreman, and the party was chaperoned by Mesdames T. E. Crutcher and Richards. The party had not been out long until the dogs treed a nice large fat one, a-nd Mr. C. T. Hester desired to have the honor of catching the first one with his bare hands, so he suggested that they let him climb the tree, which was readily agreed to by all. However he had not gotten very far up the tree when he changed his mind and came down and agreed that the tree should be cut down. After several hours of hunting the party returned, each and all saying that they had had a most pleasant evening's enjoyment. Special Service at Amis Chapel Quite a large crowd gathered at Amis Chapel last Sunday for the spe cial missionary rally held by the wo man's missionary society of that church. The recitations and talks were very timely and interesting and will result in a great deal of good among the members of this church. The church vas beautifully and tast ily decorated for the occasion. A silver offering was taken for mis sions. The Right Thing to Do We learn that Mr. John P.

It will be a good show. The writer has attended it many times.

That is why the output has increased from 500 four-cylinder cars of the first Chalmers model in 1908 to nearly 30,000. high-grade six-cylinder cars for the current year.

This is no time, by attacks upon the general in command, to give the idea that our commander has not a united people behind him. We are fortunate in having kept ou of the present European war, and we ought to support the administration in keeping us out. If we had a jingo in the White House this country would now be at war with Germany. He (Wilson) is not a Demo cratic President. He is our Pres ident. He is first an American, the same as we are.

Wealth that works is capital. Unlike brain and muscle, it does not wear out or deteriorate. It grows and improves. The only gain from labor is what is saved.
