Success to AH Who Pay Their Honest Debts —
BLAKELY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING, DEC. 10, 1925
BAPTISTS TO LOAD
CARS FOR ORPHANS
BETHEL ASSOCIATION TO SEND
SUPPLIES TO HAPEVILLE.
At its recent session in Cuthbert,'
Bethel Association pledged to send ■
a carload of corn and a carload of
hay to the Baptist orphanage at i
Hapeville, Ga.
Secretary Melton, of the Execu- ■
tive Committee, announces that the
churches contiguous to Blakely
should deliver their donations for
either of these cars to Mr. John Un
derwood, Mr. J. 0. Bridges or Dr.
C. R. Barksdale not later than Mon
day, Dec. 14, who will see that
it is loaded. Bring only shelled corn,
securely sacked, and baled hay.
There was an extreme drouth in
North Georgia in the vicinity of
the orphanage the past summer and
the home has a large herd of fine
cattle that are expensive to feed
and our people can easily spare
corn and hay from the abundant
crops made in this section.
However, those who have neither
corn nor hay to spare can send cash.
Next Sunday, December 13th, has
been set apart as Orphans Day in
all the Baptist Sunday Schools of
the State and all should do some
thing towards helping the Home.
“Give of your best to the Master.”
There are nine churches in the
Blakely district of Bethel Associa
tion who ought to have a share
in the produce brought to Blakely.
These are Blakely, Beulah (at Cedar
Springs), Colomokee, Hilton, Mt.
Ararat, New Hope, Pine View, Prov
idence and Sowhatchee, and all of
them have Sunday Schools.
There ought to be a liberal re
sponse from all of them for the
benefit of the parentless children
who are dependent upon the free
will offerings of the Baptist people.
Begin the Christmas sfeson' 'Tight
by responding generously to this
appeal.
The cars will be loaded at Ar
lington next Wednesday, the- 16th.
Churches in that vicinity should be
governed accordingly Arlington,
Bethany, Damascus, Leary,
and Milford.

NO MAIL DELIVERIES
ON CHRISTMAS DAY
Mrs. L. H. Rambo, local postmas
i ter, informs us, that by order of the
Postmaster General, no postpffices
will be opened nor incoming mail
put up on Christmas Day.
Special delivery letters and par
cels will be delivered as on other
holidays.
The Christmas postal business for
1925 will probably be the largest
in the history of the postal service
and • the handling of such a huge
! amount of parcel post is a big task.
' To insure your packages getting to
' the addressees in time and in good
' condition, mail them early and
pack them carefully.

i 1.50 A YEAR
INVEST IN F ARLY
COUNTY LANDS
SOUTH ATLANTIC CLUB OWN
CHATTAHOOCHEE LANDS.
Comparatively few citizens of
Early county are aware of the fact
that the South Atlantic Club, of
Richmond, Va., have large land hold
ings in Early county, and that they
intend to stock part of their lands
with partridges and wild turkey,
making it one of the finest game
preserves in the South. Much of their
land has been set out in pecan
and peach trees, which is in charge
of Mr. E. J. Mims, an experienced
horticulturist of North Carolina.
The South Atlantic Club, which is
one of the largest land owners in
the South, plan also to sell fishing
and hunting rights on its property,
which is in the Chattahoochee river
valley, both in Early county, Geor
gia, and Houston county, Ala.
In a recent interview with the
Dothan Eagle, Mr. T. P. West, one
of the owners of the property had
the following to say:
We have located in this sec
tion because we think we have
found what we want, and we did
not need Roger Babson’s recent
business chart to convince us of
the great business future that ‘
this section has.
We have been very optimistic
over our property and plans,
and some of the directors and
officers of our club recently
appeared before the Chamber
of Commerce of New York City
and other large cities of the
North, where we pledged en- _
thusiastic CrhopferaU.tn. Babson’s
recent statement about Dothan
has given the city nation-wide
prominence, and there is no
doubt but that the investment
we have in the club property
on the Chattahoochee River is
but the beginning of far great
er plans.
The Club has recently had several
thousand handsome pamphlets print
ed for distribution throughout the
country in an effort to attract set
tlers from other sections.
The South is coming into its own.
The recent boom in Florida is ex
pected to engulf other Southern
States, and particularly Georgia,
and as Early county is one of the
richest farming sections of this
State, there is no reason why we
should not benefit materially from
the boom.
