Mrs. Hoats and 1 wish to make
Lis a personal message to you as
it friend, co-laborer and kindred
l our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are unable to see each of

•eeting to you.
God has been exceedingly good

reat portion of His kindness to
s has come through you.
May His love keep you and
less you throughout this season
ad the New Year.
ead on, O King Eternal
Thru the dim, vast unknown,
oday Thou dost give assurance
Thou shalt go before Thine own
In our hearts there is implanted
n eternal memorial of you that
ill always be mentally visible to
In our hearts there blooms a
garden
Of lovely flowers that grew
From seeds of cheery friendship—
Planted there by you.
Each blossom is a memory
That prompts us to expres
A. wish that’s true,—and just for
you,
For worlds of happiness!
The Hoats Family.

With Mail from All
Sections of Georgia
Forsyth, Dec. 15—In response tc
a news story in the Macon Tele
graph Friday telling of thi
Christmas tree for Bennie Pritchet
suffering from a rare and lata)
disease which may take him awa

from all points in Georgia an

He is elated over his Christmas
party and the shower of inaiL
Bennie seems better but it if
fictitious strength which meant
nothing. His real condition is un
changed and specialists who ex
amined the boy declared that hi
had only a short time to live a:
the disease had progressed too far
Bennie’s mother is unwilling ti
give up and his teacher, M r s. Gee
McMullan voices the wish that i
these days of miracles with sur

are performed. She feels that it
might save Bennie and that if it
did not it might save some othe-
victim of the same disease.
Bennie’s classmates each day b
the school room pray for him tc
get well or at least that he maj
not die.
Bonnie never complains and Mr.
Charles Lamon Monroe, count;

Tuberculosis Drive Is
Somewhat Disappointing
To Those in Charge
The Taylor County Tuberculosis
Association has not collected what
it had hoped to collect. The rea
son is not because people do not
want to fight .tuberculosis, but
because they put their Seals aside
with the best of intentions, and
then failed to mail in a check for
them.
It may help to emphasize the
impotrance of mailing a donation
of we note only that while
healthy people prepare for a fes
tive Christmas, somewhere in this
country a person dies every nine
minutes of tuberculosis.
