Rural Subscribers Are Urged to
Look After the Telephone Lines
Now is the time to repair your
telephone lines while the weather
!s bad; you can do but very little
on the farm, says J. M. Remley,
local manager.
No modern convenience saves
the farmer so much time and
money and affords him and his
family so much pleasure as the
telephone.
It is the farmer’s best friend.
It contributes to the personal
comfort of the entire family, saves
him useless trips through all sorts
of weather, protects his financial
interests, guards his home and
prevents anxiety during his ab-
GRIFFIN DEFEATS
HERE LAST NIGHT
The Griffin Athletic Club basket
ball team defeated the Jonesboro
Athletic Club team Tuesday night
at the Athletic Court by a 69-34
score.
The local team started off with
a rush, piling up a 30-point lead
in the first half. Several of the
first team went out at the be
gining of the second half and
the Jonesboro team outplayed the
Griffinites, but were never any
where near overcoming the lead
piled up in the first half.
John Brewer, former G. H, S.
star, and Seaton Bailey, captain
of the Sewanee basketball team
last year, starred for the locals,
the former scoring 21 points and
the latter 19. Hutchinson and
Burnett, guards, and Kirkland at
the forward position played excel
lent ball throughout.
The Griffin Athletic Club has
One of the snappiest teams ever

with college fives will be arranged.
sence. There are many instances
where one call has saved a farm
er much more than the yearly cost
of the service.
Save Life and Property.
There are other cases ■ where
farmers’ telephones have____saved
life and property. It may never
save your life, but it is a satis
faction to know that it is in your
home ready to call neighbors, doc
tors or other assistance should
the emergency arise.
It is also convenient and very
valuable in giving to the Griffin
Daily News and Semi-Weekly
items of interest throughout your
community, as well as taking ad
vantage of the “Want Ad” col
umn, which will aid you in selling
your product. It will keep you
posted on the market so you can
buy and sell to advantage.
It will enable you to stay at
home and at the same time at
tend to matters at widely separ
ated points. It brings help in
case of fire or other emergencies
and aids in locating strayed cat
tie.
If you have ever hauled your
cotton, pimento, or other produce
to market and had to sell it at a
sacrifice because you did noi know
the prevailing price in advance,
you realize what a saving the tele
phone would have been to you.
Blessing to Women.
To the women and other mem
bers of the family the, telephone is
indeed a blessing.
There is no longer a need for
lonesome evenings on the farm.
The telephone affords oppor
tunity for the women folks to
visit with neighbors and friends
without leaving home, and en
ables the children to keep in touch
with their young neighbors and
friends.
It is to be hoped that sentiment
will be created that will bring
about a determination on the
part of each farmer line company
to repair their lines within the
next 60 days.
Will Get Good Service.
Spalding county is one of the
most progressive counties in the
state in every line, therefore, it
behooves everyone to look after
the neglected telephone lines in
order to receive good service,
which you and your friends are
entitled to. The necessary re
pairs can be rpade by the subscrib
ers on the line getting
and doing the. work or engage
outsider at a very small cost.

Another has said: it Reading

What are the Griffin circuit peo

books whose merit must be stat
ed by an agent; whose worth is
doubtful; whose price is exorbi
tant ?
What papers do they read? Do
the papers taken inform, inspire

The lo ng winter months will af
ford time for reading. Our peo
ple will want the best books and
papers and I wish to make a sug
gestion."
McTyeir’s “History of Method

The a Book of Discipline will
cost 50c. A good Bible, with
the other books, may be obtained
at a moderate price from Lamar
and Barton, Nashville, Tenn., and
when they have been studied, the
reader will be prepared for an
intelligent discussion of the great
unification and other questions
of the church.
The Wesleyan Christian Advo
