Notes from the
Baptist Church
Here it is, and a “plum" good
one, too: Deacons 6, teachers 8, pu
pils on time 239, collection $70.83.
It will not bear close inspection from
the standpoint of teachers present,
but the rest we submit with a de
gree of pride.
The Business Men set out to have
two for one to the Young Men’s
Class, but they failed. They had
not taken into account that the
young men were on the job, also, and
held the old fellows down to a scant
lead. Boys, you have the goods;
will you deliver them?
The Business Men had 57, the
Young Men 43, and the Dorcas Class
had 31. The “pep” was there in
large quantity. Bill wanted to talk
and did a little, but his spirits were
down because he did not do what
he intended. Try it' again, Bill, but
watch him, boys.
The church was never more beau
tiful. The flowers were profuse and
it added so much to the service. We
are so fortunate to have a class
taking so much interest in the
church to see that it is always full
of fresh flowers. Thanks, ladies.
Just as we expected. Now the
small boys are congregating in the
rooms and reading the funny papers
and staying there until the time for
classes. It certainly is a bad habit,
either in the small boys or the grown
ups. The teachers can do much to
overcome this if they will try. It is
worth trying, dear teacher. You
are responsible more than any one
else, unless it be the parents.
The congregations were large at
both services Sunday. The spirit
was never better, certainly at the
evening service, when one man gave
himself to the Lord Jesus and joined
the church for baptism. Mr. Homer
Harrison was the man. Certainly we
were glad to have him and we do
earnestly pray his life may be a
real example of what a man surren
dered can do.
One thing we must be careful
about in our drives for new mem
bers, and that is proselyting. If you
know one belongs to another church
or the parents are members of an
other church, then please do not
forget the golden rule. Nothing is
more repulsive to one of good taste
than a proselyter. Heretofore, we
have tried to keep this before our
people, and we want to remember it
always. We must respect our breth
ren and sisters of the other church
es. Please observe this rule.
The orchestra was never better
than last Sunday evening. We have
a valuable addition in the person of
Mr. John Bass, whose parents joined
our church several weeks ago. John
plays the trombone well and he will
help our orchestra very much. We
are so glad to have him with us.
Our much talked of training
school has begun. It certainly is dis
appointing to the pastor at this time.
We do hope more interest may be
shown in the work as the days go on.
Monday evening the rain kept many
away, but let us hope this will not
be the case all the week.
Sunday evening, in this church,
we will have a special service for the
local lodge of Masons. It should,
and doubtless will be, a great ser
vice. We will have special music
for the occasion. We invite our
friends to enjoy this service with us
•Sunday evening, beginning promptly
at 8 o’clock.
The regular worship Sunday morn
ing with sermon by the pastor. Os
course the Bible School will assem
ble at 9:45. The service at the
evening hour will be for the Masons
of Blakely and surrounding terri
tory. Come to all these services;
you will be welcome, thrice wel
come, in this church at every
service. Come with a prayer in
your heart for the service and for
the minister of the church.

CRIPPLED GEORGIA BOY
PRAISED BY BIG HUNTERS
s
Big game hunters and photograph
ers who have scoured the jungles '
of Asia and Africa, are bestowing (
unlimited praise upon the wild ani- '
mal silhouettes of 17 year old Joe 1
Jones, of Augusta, Ga., a hopeless j
cripple who has seen no more wild
life than in a circus parade. 11
Joe has won numerous prizes with 1
his pictures, some of which are shown
in the American Magazine, and his ]
scissors have gained him the equiv
alent of a college education.
His pictures are marvelously real
istic reproductions of animals and
outdoor life generally. They are all
cut free-hand, without any prelimi
nary sketching or drawing. Three ,
years ago Joe’s silhouettes won a i
prize of fifty dollars in a nation
wide contest in which more than •
two thousand persons, including
many recognized artists, took part. ;
He is busy now illustrating a book
for children, which will appear soon. '
He especially delights in cutting ,
scenes in which cowboys or jungle :
creatures figure. Some of his most 1
admired groups are “Wild Horses at 1
the Water Hole,” “The Coon Hunt,” '
(“Jungle Night,” and “Cowboys with i
Broncho.” And yet Joe Jones never '
saw a jungle creature or a bucking j
broncho in all his life! Indeed, he :
has never seen anything that can’t ! ■
be seen from his bed, for Joe has i'
j not walked in twelve years.
“The best place to see beautiful
things is in your mind’s eye, any
|way,” Joe told a friend one day.
“As long as pictures paint them
i selves there, and stories act them
selves out, you don’t have to worry
about being entertained. And if you
encourage it a little, your mind’s
ear will provide you with almost as
much fun. Why, on the hottest day
in August I can lie on my bed and
hear the swish of rain on the roof,
or maybe the beat of the waves
: against a cliff. It’s really great fun
to train your mind to do stunts for
you!”
When Joe was five years old, a
serious illness left him without the
use of his legs. At first, the doctors
thought it would be a matter of a
few months, or most a year, before
the boy would be able to walk and
run again. In order to amuse him
self while shut off from the active
world of play, he began to cut from
paper little scenes that suggested
themselves to him from the stories
his mother or some other member of i
I the family read to him. From the j
start these scissors-pictures showed
a fine sense of drama and form.
Then one beautiful red-letter day
a circus came to town. Joe’s big
brother held him up to the window
to watch the parade go by. There
were spangly ladies on prancing
ponies, lions and tigers in gilded
cages, and enormous elephants swing
ing their trunks in the air.
When he was back in bed again, ■
Joe asked for a pair of scissors and I
a piece of paper. Later, he called
to his mother to look, and there
across his bed marched a line of
paper animals. They were in the
same order as those he had seen in
the procession and like them in every
detail. From now on, he was chief
ly interested in cutting animals and
outdoor scenes.
One year dragged into three and
four years, but still Joe was unable
to walk. Finally, when he was
fourteen, the doctors decided that
there was a fragment of hope in
an operation, followed by treatment
that would mean a solid year strap
ped to a hospital cot.
It was during the next long twelve
months while he lay on his cot in the
Scottish Rite Hospital in Atlanta |
that Joe began to do really serious:
j work with his silhouettes. One of
) the nurses pinned some of his pic
j tures to the walls of the reception
ro'om downstairs. There were many
' visitors in the hospital. They saw
j the silhouettes and asked questions. ■
i Soon there were requests from peo- j
I pie who wanted to buy the charm-I
ing scenes. When Mrs. Pressley i
' Walker, an Atlanta artist who had I
become interested in his work, sent [
some of his groups to a magazine
which promptly sent back a fat;
check and a fine letter of praise for
his work, Joe’s joy knew no bounds.!
Why, if he couldn’t ever go to
! college and work his way through, |
j as he had dreamed of doing some day :
i when the’ stiff plaster casts were a
thing of the past, he could do some
thing else that was almost as good:
'he could make enough money to
bring college to him! Now that he
j could earn his own expenses, he
j could take all the extension courses ’
■ he wanted to take.
It was about this time that he
saw a notice which said that Lewis
| Myers and Company, manufacturers
of Valparaiso, Ind., were offering a
i prize of fifty dollars for the best ,
picture of an outdoor scene.
■ Joe was afraid that only drawings {
jor paintings would be considered. [
He spent hours making pictures in
his mind before he even touched his
[scissors. Then one day he picked up
EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
a piece of paper and began to cut. i
The scissors flew. And presently |
under the deft fingers of the boy a '
gorgeous jungle scene began to grow.
There. was a thick undergrowth fair
ly bristling with the life of tiny crea
tures, and above a delicate tracery
of vines festooned from tree to tree.
There were monkeys swinging on a
grapevine rope, and below on a fall
en tree trunk a huge panther looked
hungrily up.
Everybody in the hospital cele
brated when the postman brought
the letter -which said Joe had won
first prize in the contest.

Frequent
Bilious
Attacks
"I suffered with severe bilious
attacks which came on me two or
three times every month,” says
Mr. Ollie Miller, of Murray, Ky.
"I would become dizzy. My
head would ache terribly, feeling
as if it would almost burst. It
felt exactly like a tight band
was being drawn closer and dos
er around my temples.
"My stomach would be so up
set I could not retain any kind
of nourishment for hours. I
would have to quit work and
go to bed.*
"My color was awful I was
yellow and my skin was drawn
and dry. I did not have any
energy—no ambition to work. I
was just about half sick most of
the time because of these spells.
"One day one of my neighbors,
who has used Thedford’s Black-
Draught for years, said he had
noticed how bad my color was
and thought it would help me.
"I got some Black-Draught im
mediately and began to take it
! regularly until I got mv system
I dear of the poison I had been
absorbing. I soon began to fed
better and developed a fine ap
petite. I had no more bad head
aches or bilious spells.” c . ltt
