SECOND DISTRICT MAIL
CARRIERS TO MEET
The Mail Carriers Convention of
the Second District will be held at
Sylvester on May 31. It is expected
that about from 300 to 400 govern
ment employes will be in attendance.
The government employes of Worth
county will be host to the Conven
tion, serving barbecue and other re
freshments.
Mr. B. J. Mann, of Route No. 6,
Blakely, is president of the associa
tion, and Mr. M. W. Balkcom, of
Route 7, Blakely, is the secretary of
the body.
Fuqua, and this was the buying of
many of the best chickens at the car
by Blakely people. The farmers per
haps did not realize that the selling
of many of their best chickens to
local buyers brought both the quality
and the tonnage of the car down
quite a bit, a condition that will
likely work to the detriment of fu
ture sales, for the better the quality
and the greater the tonnage the bet
ter the price that will be paid.
And, too, it might be said that
this practice of taking the advantage
of the County Agent’s advertising
did not look exactly right, and he
urges both those who were guilty of
this act as well as the farmers to
bear in mind that it will not help
the cause any.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
NOW FUNCTIONING
The Associated Charities of Blake
ly is working now to the satisfaction
of the citizens. Many calls have I
been answered and much good has
been done. The citizens of Blakely
will be saved much annoyance and
money if they will keep in mind that
all charity work can be done through
this channel, and done where it is
most needed.
If there is any one in Blakely who
has not become a member and wants
to have part in the good work of
the town, you can see Robert Stuck
ey at the First National Bank and
give him your name and pay the
sum of one dollar per month and
sit back and watch results. Please
remember the dues are only one
dollar per month, and are payable
monthly.
A request has just been received
from the State Welfare Work of
fice in Atlanta to join the State-wide
association, which will give us a
line on the work in other cities
and towns, and at the same time
guarantee the people of Blakely
that no overlapping of work can be
done. We will keep in touch with
every applicant who may leave
Blakely and go to some other place
and ask for help. At once the offi
cer in charge would communicate
with this office and make inquiry
concerning the applicant’s standing,
etc. You can see at once how that
will work to the good of the town
and everybody concerned. Let’s
keep it going by standing by it with
our money and influence. Be sure
to send every applicant to the prop
er one so that their case can be
handled in the right way. The
pastors of the town are the ones to
investigate every applicant.

cutting of these and the winning of
the dimes, rings and thimbles. Dainty
