RANDOM NOTES
By Old Caesar.
Mrs. J. G. Chambers and daugh
ter, Miss Maggie Lou, visited in
Blakely yesterday afternoon.
Miss Eunice Freeman, of Hilton,
was a charming visitor to her friend,
Miss Edith Hilton, last week.
Mr. Brink Lasseter and family, of
Bartow, were visitors to relatives
here last week.
Mrs. Lula Hilton, of Berlin, Ga.,
visited her grandfather, Mr. T. D.
Lasseter, and other relatives here
last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Johnson, of
the Cuba district, were week end
visitors of Mr. and Mrs. J. J*. Eng
lish.
Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Chambers had
a reunion of their children and
grandchildren last Sunday. Those
present were Mr. and Mrs. Milton
Averitt and little son, Milton, Jr., of
Columbus; Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Mercier arfd two little daughters,
Margaret and Lena, of Columbia,
Ala; Miss Annette Chambers, of
Donalsonville; also Mr. and Mrs.
Willie Wiley, of Damascus, the lat
ter a sister of Mrs. J. G. Chambers.
A day enjoyed by all and ever fresh
in their memory.
A new step has been put on in
farming among some of the boys
here—Messrs. J. 0., L. R. and J. N.
Lane and J. G. Chambers—and may
be others, that will try their hand in
truck farming just a little to see
what the results will be. As I have
just heard of this new racket I will
wait until I can visit the boys and
get better informed before spread
ing out on it. However, go to it,
boys. Should you fail to sell them
a pot of snapbeans with a slab of
home-made bacon cooked to a turn,
then with old time pepper sauce with
plenty of good fresh buttermilk. But
I will call a halt, as too many are
listening in on the phone, especially
Mr. A. E. Alexander, of Blakely.
His ear is already glued to the
phone and I would not trust him
with a peck of snapbeans cooked
with a quart of pepper sauce. And,
too, Betwixt and Between Us Judge
Bridges Smith, of Macon, is not
averse to these old time eatings
I may not understand or be able
to define orphans’ home, but from
reading and hearsay, would come to
the conclusion that it is based on
the principle of caring for children
who have no parents—clothed, fed
and their spiritual interest looked
after. If this much is true, then
there is more than one kind of or
phan in existence. For instance,
we have the spiritual orphan with
earthly parents, living, but dead in
a spiritual sense. Will give a few
briefs as to that which we subscribe
to as a covenant when joining a
church: “I promise by His grace to
love and obey Him in all things;
to avoid all appearances of evil; to
abstain from all sinful amusements
and unholy conformity to the
world; I agree to faithfully discharge
my obligations in reference to the
study of Scripture, secret prayer,
family devotion and social worship;
I agree to labor for the promotion
of educational and denominational
enterprises, the supprt of missions
and the success of the Sunday
School, for the salvation of souls
and the conversion of the world.”
If we are faithfully carrying out
these things to which we have sub
scribed. then we have no spiritual
orphans. It is the duty of the pastor,
deacons and all leaders of the
church, officers of the Sunday
schools and officers of Leagues to
daily practice this covenant and
keep it constantly before the eyes
of the laity. Are the officers and
leaders of Zion church, the superin
tendent and teachers of the Sunday

Mr. Howard Shaw and Mr. George
Moore, of Cuba, attended preaching
here Sunday.
Mrs. T. E. Joiner was an evening
guest of Mrs. J. Houston Saturday.
A correction: In week before
last News there was a mistake—it
should have been Mr. Tom Lane in
place of Mrs. Tom Lane. We are
very sorry it occurred. We were
glad Old Caesar noticed and cor
rected the mistake. But Mr. Lane
says Caesar just doesn’t know when
he thinks he has his.mind on the
mill and none on the ladies.
Miss Eva John Elliott and Mr.
Howard Shaw, Miss Janet Elliott and
Mr. William Nix, Miss Ida Belle Mc-
Nair and Mr. George Moore attend
ed preaching here Sunday night. We
were glad to have you; come back
again.
We are sorry to learn that Mr.
Henry Elliott had a bad fall Sunday
when one of his feet slipped through
the porch, spraining several of his
ribs." We wish for him a speedy re
covery.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Williams
dined with Mr. and Mrs. Bud Wil
liams Sunday.
School and the president and officers
of the League in observance of these
things? If so, then all is well. If
not, then instead of a church, we
have a spiritual orphans’ home with
out method or discipline, children
starving for want of spiritual
food, all of which God will hold us
strictly accountable for. Arouse,
oh, ye sleepers.
As some may not understand in
regard to our meeting next Monday
afternoon and Tuesday until noon,
will again announce it. At this time
we are expecting a delegation from
Georgia, Alabama and Florida for
the purpose of organizing a Free
Will Baptist Bible School to be
taught in the school building at
Zion church commencing September
1, 1930, closing June 1, 1931. Tues
day dinner will be served, in the
grove. We can give no idea as to
the number that may be here.* but
most assuredly a large number. On (
such occasions Sowhatchee communi
ty has always proved themselves ef
ficient in caring for any crowd
with dinner on the ground. As we
are not sure of the crowd, we appeal
■to our nearby sister churches and
all Christian workers and friends to
stand by us in entertaining this
gathering Tuesday noon with full
baskets to supply the inner man. We
feel that it is a God-sent opportuni
ty to the Free Will Baptists, and let
us cheerfully and willingly accept
the challenge.

HERE’S SOMETHING
WIVES SHOULD KNOW
Evanston, Ill.—-Wives who contem
plate having their husbands arrested
should know what happened to Mrs.
James Morris and be guided ac
cordingly.
Mrs. Morris had her husband ar
rested. She charged non-support.
Morris had hardly been ensconsed in
the bastile before Mrs. Morris ap
peared before Magistrate Porter and
announced that she changed her
mind.
“After all,” she said, “I guess
James supports me. In fact, he is
quite a good husband. We’ll just
drop the action and let him out of
jail.”
The magistrate became stern.
“All right. We’ll let him out of
jail, but, Madam, it is about time
you wives called a halt to the prac
tice of blaming your husband every
time something goes wrong. You
had him arrested. You humiliated
and degraded him. Then you change
your mind and say you were
wrong.
“Very well, you were wrong.
Your husband is hereby released.
You take his place. The charge is
perjury. It will probably be next
, week before we can get around to
your case.”

that all purchasers of liquor were
guilty with the seller unless bought
under permit, but the court upheld

At the same time in another case
the court in effect declined to pass

who knows that shipment is involved
in delivery can be prosecuted for
conspiracy.

pain in the neck; nothing ever seems

BAPTIST ITEMS.
Isn’t it strange how many there
are who just at this time of the (
, year—every year—get too busy to I
attend Church?
It is almost heart-rending to go (
to any of our churches on Sunday
and see what a few there are actual- I
ly trying to do something for the
Lord.
Many plan all week for a great
family gathering on Sunday, but they (
do not ask their friends to meet ;
them at Church or Sunday school •
and then go home with them. Why
not try this plan once, brother? (
Give at least a part of Sunday to 1
spiritual things.
* —’ — I
If you are going to lay out, payj
up! The expenses go on just the I
same as when you were attending, j
I do not like some things about!
the church. Why do you
to pay your taxes because you do
not like the mayor or some of the
city officials? Our loyalty is to the
church and through it to our God.
Our offerings are to the Lord.
Why They Do Not Go to
Church in Blakely.
Sunday, 8:30 a. m. (to his wife):
Now, listen to reason, Jane. Here
I’ve worked hard all the week and
I need a rest as much as anybody.
I can stay right here at home and
hear a better sermon than, than—
-10:45 a. m. (at the phone): “Lo,
Ralph, why aincha in church this
morning? Gee, thinka old Jones set
tin’ there with a lotta ole sisters
listenin to that ole fogey for three
quarters of an hour! Good night!
Watcha say to it, we go fishing?”
4 p. m. (to his pastor): After
noon, Revend—Why, yes, I’m gonna
start comin, comin to church right (
away. I believe in the church an’ ‘
all that, an’ I think you’re doin’ a I
good work here—No, I don’t believe
I’d wanta consider joinin the church
just now—Tell ya how it is: I might
feel different about it, only there’s (
so many hypocrites in the churches, i
an’ if there’s one thing I can’t stand— j
6 p. m. (to an official member): (
“tell you just why I don’t, I never
went to church yet but what they j
pushed a collection plate right under
my nose, an’ the preacher never comes
to see me but what he wants money
for something or other an’—
6:45 p. m. (to his Son): “No, you
can’t have no supper. Boys who play
hookey from. Sunday school don’t
deserve no supper. Now, you march
off to bed an don’t let- me hear of
you playin’ that trick again. Why,
when I was a boy I’d no more o’
thought—How you gonna know how (
to behave if ya never go to Sunday
school? Whaddaya think would hap
pen to the Sunday school if every
boy—.”
A thief got into the Baptist church
last Sunday and stole people right
out of the pews. We have found out;
who it was. I think he is a foreigner 1
from the spelling of his name, which ‘
is “Vacationitis Summerensis.”
DON’T LET HIM GET YOU.
Take that auto ride Sunday after-;
noon; be in church in the morning.:
Help stop the thief’s depredations by (
keeping out of his clutches yourself.
We hope to see you again next
Sunday.

A THOUGHT for the DAY
—By
AMOS R. WELLS
SICK SOULS
I Ancient bronze statues, coins, and
other metallic objects are subject to
sickness which are much like the in
fections of human beings. They
crumble away as with tuberculosis.
( They are eaten as with cancers. They
suffer as from ulcers. And each of
(their many diseases requires a dif
ferent method of treatment, which
; properly applied, brings their for
(mer accurate lines, the shining of
their beauty, the charm of express
i ion, the delicacy of form.
In human beings sin is a sickness,
(the soul is diseased. It suffers from
I many different maladies, requiring
many treatments. There is only one
Physician of the soul, and that is
i the Son of God. When on the earth
;He healed fevers, restored lepers,,
(and brought back to life corpses that
(had been lying in the grave. What
I He did for sick bodies He also did
for sick souls, and does for sick
souls to-day.
Sick folks know they are sick. If
their bodies are sick, how they rush
to physicians of known skill! Why
not to the proved Physician of souls?
Why seek to heal the spirit ourselves,
when we would not dare attempt to
heal the body?
“Heal my soul, for I have sinned
against Thee.”
Read PSALM 41:1-10.
FOR JUDGE SUPERIOR COURT,
PATAULA CIRCUIT.
To the Voters of Early County:
I take this method of announcing
my candidacy for Judge of Superior
Court Pataula Circuit, subject to the
rules laid down for the conduct of ■
the State primary on September 10.
If elected, it will be my earnest de
sire to discharge the duties of-Jthis
important office without fear or fa
vor, and in an impartial manner. I
deeply appreciate the splendid ma
! jority given me by the people of*
i Early county in my former race,,
i in which there were three candidates,
and shall appreciate your support in
