“THE HOUSE SERVICE BUILT”
Snow Blankets State
First Time In Years
A blanket of white covered the state
for the first time in many years Sat
urday. In north Georgia the precipi
tation of snow was the first of conse
quence in four years, reaching appro
ximately four inches.
The wind blown flurries began to
whirl early Saturday and by noon the
snow was about four inches thick.
The snow was accompained by gener
al cold which was below freezing to
the Florida line, Thomasville territory
registered 25 degrees.
Georgia’s last general snow was in
1930, on January 29 and 30, when j
slightly over three inches were re !
corded. Several instances of (sleet t
and ice covering the streets has oc
c,..'ed, but a pure fall of snowflakes
is rare this far south.
Georgia's cold snap and snow storm
came as part of a wave which hit the
entire country east of the Mississippi
River, bringing New York and other
eastern cities their lowest temper
atures in history. In Boston the his
toric harbor was frozen over under
20 degrees below zero.
Mrs. Barnes Offers
Suggestions To Pro
mote ‘Live-at-Home’
Program.
By MRS. DON T. BARNES.
Of Royston, Chairman of Agricultural
Co-operation.
Now is the time to make your sur
vey of “food and feed” crops for 1934.
While you are planning your spring
flower garden, do not forget your veg
etable garden in connection with it.
No lot is so small but what you can
find room for your beds of lettuce,
onions, carrots, radish, beets and a
few tomato plants. On the large farm
you should plant a complete variety
of vegetables and fruits and enough
corn to can a full supply for your
winter consumption.
You larger land owners who have
some surplus cotton acreage should
let your tenant renters use some of
this acreage for his family supply of
vegetables, fruits and poultry and let
them experience the joy and happi
ness of "living at home.”
1 want to suggest to you club ladies
to investigate the possibilities of get
ting a “community cannery” in your
community during this year. Prob
ably you can secure a project through
the CWA and have it available to both
town and rural residents. There is
so much drudgery to home canning in
your kiitchen without proper equip
ment and many do not know the cor
rect method of sanitary canning. I'm
sure this will be an economy and a
way to more and better food.

Clark Howell Urges
Sending Destitute
Back to Idle Farms
Atlanta, Ga. (GPS) Clark Howell,
editor and president ot the Atlanta
Constitution, addressed the luncheon
meeting ot the Kiwanis Club here on
the subject. “Why Not Pioneer-Now?”
and pointed cut to his audience the
many opportunities offered modern
pioneers in taking advantage of farm
lands which now may be obtained for
little or nothing.
Mr. Howell said that these farms
offer at least a home and shelter for
those who have come to the cities
from the country and are now depend
ent on relief organizations.
Mr. Howell stated that in ten years
the tide of population turned from
county to city, unbalancing the popu
lation basis—the 10,000,000 more peo
ple living in the country being chang
ed to 10,000,000 more people living
in cities.
“This creates a problem that can
be solved only by the restoration of
the balance between city and country”
Mr. Howell said.

BOOK REVIEW
A Perfect Salvation
by Dr. T. P. Tribble
In this worth while volume. Dr. T. P
Tribble, one of our fine Atlanta pas
tors, has made a worthy contribution
to present day religious literature. He
brings to the public, truth that has
grown out of a wide and successful
ministry of preaching and teaching in
the state during the years of his ac
tivity in kingdom affairs.
His sayings ring true to the teach
ings of Jesus and his deep insight in
to human nature and its needs, his
wide scholarship, his first-hand knowl
edge of the problems of pastor and
layman secured from a direct and j
practical knowledge of every day folk !
enables him to inspire people with
bis helpful messages in this delight-1
fully refreshing exposition of thV |
most loved of all Bjble verses which j
he so glowingly expounds. The book j
should have a large reading.

BROTHER TRIBBLE’S BOOK.
In his lucent volume, “A Perfect
Salvation”, based on John 3:10, the
author, Dr. T. P. Tribble, discloses the
fact that he has studied the Bible,
that he has made considerable re
search along thelogical lines, and that
he is a clear thinker as well as a
forceful writer.
The book is, as Doctor Faust aptly
states In the introduction, “a worthy
contribution to present day religious
literature”
X judge that this book will be widely
read and that many will thank God
for the author’s labor of love.

PAY FOR YOUR OWN COPY
A man who was too stingy to sub
scribe for his home paper sent his
little boy to borrow the copy taken
by a neighbor. In his haste the boy
ran over a four dollar stand of bees
and in ten minutes looked like a war
ty summer squash.
His father ran to his assistance and
failing to notice the barbed wire fence
ran into that, cutting a hole into his
anatomy and ruining a five dollar
pair of trousers.
The old cow took advantage of the
gap in the fence and got into the
cornfield and killed herself eatirv;
green corn.
Hearing the racket the wife ran
out, upset a four-gallon churn of
cream into a basket of little chickens,
drowning the entire hatch. In her
haste she dropped a thirty-five dollar
set of false teeth.
The baby, having been left alone,
crawled through the cream into the
parlor, ruining a brand new twenty
five dollar carpet.
During the excitement the oldest
daughter ran away with the hired
man, the dog broke up eleven setting
hens and the calves got out and
chewed the tails off four fine shirts
on the clothes line.
Mr. Geo L. Merritt and daughter,!
Miss Mary Merritt visited Mr. Geo. L
Merritt Jr., at Athens last Saturday

A Perfect Salvation
This book by Dr. T. P. Tribble, pub
lished by Fleming H. Revel] Company
is a splendid example of bringing
forth from a treasure "things both old
and new”.
The very fact that Dr. Tribble
chooses possibly the most often quot
ed passage in the Bible, (John 3:16),
for the subject of his treatise inten
sifies interest of the reader. His
treatment of this gem of the New
Testament is unique. Somehow he is
able to make the reader feel the truth
and reality in John 3:16, and lead his
mind to appreciate the worth of A
Perfect Salvation.
Any student of the Bible would be
proud of this worthy contribution to
assist in gracing the shelf of religious
books in his library.

A PERFECT SALVATION
Bv Dr. T. P. Tribble
Most of writers of books, who have
become well enough versed in edu
cation, in writing a book usually put
in the book a lot of reading which is
worthless to the average reader either
because of non-assimilation on the
part of the reader or simplicity of the
writer. In A PERFECT SALVATION
Dr. Tribble has shown his personality
in appealing to th'e most simple who
are able to read in the exposition ot
John 3:16 in readable terms, present
ing the very cream of thought in a
practical way, so that it may be easily
applied to human nature, thus becom
-1 ing food for the Christian and a draw
! big power for the unconverted. There
! is hot, according to my observation,
j a dead sentence in the book. Thanks
! to Brother Tribble for this contribut
ion. May God graciously bless the
work.
Yours in the work,
