If the citizens of Newland would organize a Sunday School and turn in as much, money as is played away gambling here, the Sunday School would be a help to the children. Those that spent Saturday afternoon with Mrs. Etta Blackman were: Mrs. Ed Oliver and daughter, Miss Lola, Miss Marie Smith and Mrs. L. V. Martin and little grandson Teddle. We are very glad to hear of the interest that is being taken by the people for a mutual telephone system.

Not a grain of real coffee in it either. Pure healthful toasted grains, malt, nuts, etc. have been so cleverly blended as to give a wonderfully satisfying coffee taste and flavor. And it is “made in a minute” too. No tedious 20 to 30 minutes boiling. John Eger.
