TO SELL PRODUCTS
OF “LORD’S ACRES”
Rev. H. M. Melton, of Arlington,
pastor of the Bluffton Baptist church,
requests the News to announce that
on next Tuesday, October 21st, an
auction sale of the products grown
on the acres around Bluffton known
as “the Lord’s acres.” These prod
ucts consist of peanuts, hay, cotton
and cotton seed. The peanuts and i
cotton are to be sold and delivered!
to a near railroad point, suited to!
the convenience of the buyer. The
hay and cotton seed will be deliver
ed at Bluffton. The cotton seed are
of the Toole’s Improved variety and
will be sold in one, two or four

communities and the modest Arling
ton preacher has become nationally
famous. We are hoping that this
second annual sale of products will

CENTRAL PLAN TO KEEP
THE PUBLIC INFORMED
Meeting With Success, Says
President Downs.
The plan of the Central of Georgia
Railway to keep its patrons informed
j by the publication of monthly state
! ments in newspapers along its lines
! lias had splendid results, according
to President L. A. Downs.
The plan is now’ entering its fourth
consecutive year and Mr. Downs says
he believes the monthly statements
of the Central have helped the peo
ple in this territory to become bet
ter informed in regard to the Central
and other railroads. One effect has
been to help the Sentral of Georgia
become better acquainted with the
needs of its patrons and to make
all employes of the road more eager
to render better service. President
Downs believes there is much less
prejudice against the railroads now
than there was three years ago; that
citizens generally realize it is more
important to their own welfare to
help the railroads through construct
ive treatment than to injure them
through uuconstructive regulation.
Part of this change in sentiment, he
believes, has been due to the inform
ative statements published each
month.
In discussing the matter, Mr.
Downs reviews the subjects that
have been treated in the monthly
statements in simple, non technical
manner, and with the desire to de
velop better understanding through
informing the public about the rail
roads and informing the Central
about its patrons needs and wishes.
He says that after three years of
this work he is convinced that the
patrons understand and approve of
what the railroad is trying to do.
CUBA PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH BEING BUILT
Cuba Presbyterian church was .QJ-..
•;anlzed Nov. 29. 1923, with Mr. D.
C. Cook, elder; Mr. A. F. Bruner,
deacon; and thirteen members, but
now it has about 30 members.
The people of that community are
very much enthused over the work.
They have the credit of having the
only Presbyterian church in Early
county. Miss Annie May Cunning
ham, of Fort Worth, Texas, has been
the leader of this work. Under her
guidance an interesting Sunday
school and Young People’s Christian
Endeavor is in progress and doing
great work in training the young
life of the church.
Dr. Ralph Gilliam, of Atlanta, a
representative of The Home Mission
Board, has been in that community
for three or four months, which has
been a great inspiration and help
in completing the work.
On Monday, October 12, 1924, the
cornerstone was laid with an impres
sive ceremony, led by Rev. Camp
bell, pastor of the Donalsonville
Presbyterian church, with an aud
ience of one hundred.
