IN MEMORY
In loving memory of my dear
mother who left us the 15th of May
1928.
In the graveyard sweetly sleeping
Where the flowers nod and wave
Lies the one we love so dearly
In her cold and silent grave
But she was patient through all her
sickness
But she would say children I will
never get well
But I don’t care for dying
Because I am ready to go
Dear Mother I miss you so
I think of you in silence
No eye can see me wee
But even in my aching heart
Her memory will I keep.
Written by her son
SHIRLEY DAY
FREEZING STRAWBERRIES
Many families are freezing straw
berries for future use. Isn’t it nice
to be able to have fresh strawber
ries and other fruits every month
in the year? You have that oppor
tunity now while they are in season
to prepare for the future.
From experience we believe that
we have the best containers for
strawberries and other fruits and
vegetables that we have had. Look
ahead and be wise.

SLAUGHTERING DAY TUESDAY
We feel that by slaughtering one
day per week during the summer
and fall will take care of the need
of the Locker Patrons. We slaugh
ter every Tuesday. If possible make
appointments for your slaughtering.
We slaughter for any one desir
ing us to do so. If you prefer to
slaughter your own hogs and beef
you may bring it in any day of the
week. You do not have to feed your
livestock until cold weather By
taking advantage of cold storage
you may butcher them anytime of
year.

IN MEMORY OF DADDY AND
BROTHER HENRY THOMAS
Who died January sth, 1947
A red rose is a token of love
Their beauty given from God
above
A white rose for a Father who is
dead
For a living Dad your rose is red.
It seems as those of my heart is
drained of all the life therein
As I so sadly lift this rose from
my lapel to unpin
This such a lonley feeling
As this rose I put away
To think I’ll never wear again
A red rose on Father’s day
I know that I can never bear
To pick a red rose for my hair
Without thinking of every way
I wore a rose on Father’s day.
I pray to God for piece of mind
He will guide me through the
'* years
And help me mend a broken heart
His love will dry my tears away
His daughter Mrs. Ruth Price and
sister Mrs. Ervin Gravitt.

BAPTIST CONVENTION
The Southern Baptist Convention
that convened in St. Louis last week
was one of the best sessions in the
history of the Convention and the
attendance of 8,378 registered mes
sengers was the largest on record
of any previous session. The spirit
of the meeting was at top scale and
the fellowship and inspiration was
excellent.
St. Louis is a great City of one
and a quarter million people. The
auditorium where the meetings
were held seats 10,000 people and
many times during the sessions it
was packed full, many standing and
the corridors and large book store
jammed with others. lit is a great
thrill to the soul of anyone to hear
such a congregation singing the old
hymns. There were many musical
features by quartetts, chorouses
both white and negroes. The re
ports disclosed more than 250,000
baptized during the year and the
largest gifts to missions reported
at anytime. All 20 states cooperat
ing with the convention, were re
presented. In the convention there
are 928 district associations, 26,000
churches, and a membership of
more than six million.
Two of the highlights of the
meetings were the progress of the
Home and Foreign Missions Board
that ninety-five and four-tenths
cents of every dollar given for mis
sions goes for that work and only
the remainder of the dollar goes
for the expenses of operating the
Board, many reports to the con
trary however, of course only by
those who are too everlastingly
stingy to give to missions and use
it for an excuse.
If more preachers and laymen
would attend these conventions and
keep posted and instructed as to
what our great denomination iis
doing, they would not be “kickers”
but “pullers”. More than half of
the churches are in the country and
more than one-third of the present
number of our churches were start
ed by the Home Mission Board.
Someone made this statement:
“The greatest discovery is to find
the will of God. The greatest ac
complishment is to do the will of
God”. It was a great meeting and I
feel greatly strengthened and built
up in the most pure and holy faith
from having attended the meeting.
