It owns world after world! Its the undefeatable age. It can’t envy the years ahead, or at least ought not to, they will come soon enough. So you who are young, flive your age and glory in it hap pily. And just remember while traveling that way: He who builds a house, however humble . . .

Suf fice it to say, however, this being Tlmost an endless task we cannot -train from paying special honor Mrs. E. E. Jarrell in this in- Itance. "Better light a candle than jurse the darkness.”" says an old Chinese proverb. There are plenty |)1 candles that need to be lighted the sake of the young people &1 Butler and Mrs. .Jarrell is one ('ho is doing her share in “light- ^ig a candle.” * * * DOWN TO EARTH again are we fter soaring high mingling for jany hours with some of the dear- st friends one ever had. We had our conductor on this delightful light your pleasing and ever (nxious to become more and more flicient Postmaster, Mr. Carl C. lobbs. The occasion for this trip jas our attendance upon the an- ■ual session of the Postmasters’ Association in Atlanta, and truly ie best we ever attended during he past fifteen years. Thank you Carl, for your many kindnesses. We feel indeed fortunate in se curing the assistance of Rev. J. Ed Fain, our District Superintendent as visiting minister, and Mr. Dan Hooks as minister of music for the revival season. V, ,v, atwavs insnirine Brother Fain has served the fol- right. Youth is always in p 2 pastorates in South Ge0 rgia [because it is such a thrilling ad- j recen t years before his ap- venture. It‘s not without its dis- intment as District Superintend- appointments, sorrows I ent 0 f the Columbus District: Fitz gerald, Albany First Church and Savannah Wesley Monumental. He is an attractive and forceful preacher and everyone will be in terested and inspired by all his messages. Brother Hooks has been Director of Music at Hamp Stevens Metho dist Church, Second Baptist and Eastern Heights Baptist in Colum bus. He has also held a district of fice in the Methodist Youth Fellow ship. Brother Hooks is good in leading congregational singing. He also renders violin and vocal so- ios. With this accomplished team, and by the help of the Lord, we feel sure that if each individual in the community feels this is his or her revival campaign and gives his heart, eyes, ears, voice, yes his hands and feet also to search for ways to serve the Lord as He di rects, we will receive a blessing ourselves and others will be in spired and helped through our el- forts. Let’s everyone begin with this reading to make definite plans for our full cooperation in our Mas ter’s cause and continue throughout each service until the last bent" diction is pronounced, we are sure no one will have an occasion to re gret their efforts. Let each one work and pray and give and con secrate, unTiT*'" all their efforts change from drudgery into ex uberant joy. REV. J. W. M. STIPE, Pastor. A little over two and a half years ago, where now stands a thriving poultry farm, was nothing but the blackened remains of the old Foy house, and the stumps of once towering sycamore trees. Now, through the ingenuity and untiring efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin McCants stands a beauti ful home amid a spacious lawn and blooming shrubs. Behind the house reaching back to the pines on a hill is a hatchery, brooder houses, laying houses, barn, 13 range houses, and two tenant houses, all of which with only un skilled labor, Mr. McCants built himself. He operates a 11,760 capacity incu bator under the National Poultry Death-Destruction Follows In Path Tuesday Tornado Manchester, April 13—One person was killed and more than 20 were Injured, six rather seriously, in a 'ornado which struck Manchester Tuesday afternoon. Damage was estimated at more than $100,000 on downtown build ing property with an unknown amount to private buildings or other property. Killed was a Negro man whose body was crushed when three freight cars of a side-tracked train blew over on him and another Ne gro, who was injured seriously.The dead man was identified as Oliver Griggs, while the injured Negro wasnam ed as John Anderson.

AU REVOIR for this sitting. Bouquets for the Living Among various things that would make us feel good, would be to be able to fix up a nice bouquet for a man w'ho is living; one that u'ould express to him the high esteem we have always felt for him. My inability to express my thoughts will be the only fault with it, for my desire and inten tions are sincere. Mr. D. L. Averett, with his wife as a very able helpmate, have liv ed their lives and reared their family of four, near Mauk on their farm. That is a simple statement. It is the way they lived their lives that counts. I do not mean they were angels without a fault. I just mean that Mr. Averett is gia U. S. Certified Pullorum passed rating. At present there are 7,500 birds on the farm including 2,000 layers, pullets, fryers and baby chicks. In addition to the mammoth poultry farm Mr. McCants has a 15-acre pecan grove and operates a 125-acre farm.
