A THOUGHT for the DAY
By
AMOS R. WELLS
FLYING “BLIND”
An experienced aviator assets that
no airplane is throughly fitted out
with instruments that can not be
flow’n by them alone. The operator
sits in the cockpit and does not once
glance outside it, his instruments tell
him just where he is with reference
to the ground, and keep him straight
on his course.
So it is with the child of God who
has for his guide the Word of God.
He finds that the Lord does verily
“preserve the way of His saints.” He
can “fly blind” with entire safety.
Indeed, he is much freer from peril
when he relies solely on divine guid
ance than when he relies on his own
eyes or on the guiding signals of
other mortals.
There is much comfort in reposing
our trust upon God with this abso
lute confidence. The Christian has
no fears. He is never anxious. He
is sure that he will arrive at the
desired haven.
“That he (Jehovah) may . . . pre
serve the w r ay of his saints.”

Most Great Fortunes
Developed as Result of
Slow, Steady Saving
By S. W. Straus, President American
Society for Thrift.
There are a great many substan
tial business men in America today
who could tell you interesting stor
ies about how they spent their early
years in the accumulation of a few
dollars.
Had they continued all their lives
to save only the small amounts they
were able to lay by at first, they
never would have become well-to-do
men. But their small savings and
the discipline which was necessary to
build up these sums, put them in a
position to earn more money and oc
cupy more important positions as
the years went by.
“I don’t think I could live long
enough ever to be rich at the rate I
would be able to save money.”
This sentence in a letter received
recently is typical of the viewpoint
of many who lack the patience to
build up their personal resources
through the painstaking methods of
thrift. Now and then some one
does strike it rich, so to speak, but
where one person may gain sudden
wealth, a million others, trying the
same thing, may lose their last
penny.
Look up the histories of most of
the large fortunes in America and
you wall -find that the vast majority
were started with small sums of
money and grew to fabulous accumu
lations of wealth through the normal
I processes of sound business and in-
■ vestment. The possession even of a
I small sum of money was necesary
before the larger amounts could be
j built up.
It is always to be remembered
that one of the great elements in
thrift is patience. It is hard for an
ambitious, vigorous person to exer
cise this rare quality. The tempta
tion always is strong with such
persons to take chances and plunge.
But patient saving and the slow,
steady accumulation of funds will
win out in the long run. The great
book of human experience is elo
quent in its assertions of this fact.

i you work for me, you’ll be just one

PUBLIC SALE OF REAL ESTATE.
GEORGIA—EarIy County:
There will be sold by the under
signed, The Union Central Life In
surance Company, on Tuesday, July
lit, 1930, at public outcry, to the
highest bidder for cash, within the
legal hours of sale, before the court
house door of said county of Early,
in the city of Blakely, Georgia, the
following described real estate, to
wit:
The following described tract or
parcel of land, lying and being in the
County of Early, State of Georgia,
towit: All of lot of land Uo. 108 in
the 28th Land District, which lies
East of a line beginning at the
Northwest corner of said lot and
running South along original land
line to the Blakely and Quincy
public road, thence down said road
in a southeasterly direction a dis
tance of 21 chains, thence due
South to the South line of said lot,
said land containing 200 acres, more
or less.
Said sale will be had under and
by virtue of a power of sale contain
ed in a certain security deed exe
cuted by Judson W. Swann to The
Union Central Life Insurance Com
pany on June Ist, 1925, and record
ed at pages 568-570 of Deed Book
“37” in the office of the Clerk of
the Superior Court of Early county,
Georgia, said deed having been exe
cuted to secure the payment of 21
certain notes therein described, and
default having been made in the
payment of the notes therein de
scribed falling due on March Ist,
1929, and March Ist, 1930, respect

AJter the tirst
twenty-five thousand
Miles
THE VALUE of sound design, good materials and careful
craftsmanship is especially apparent in the new Ford after
the first twenty-five thousand miles. Long, continuous
service emphasizes its mechanical reliability and economy of
operation and up-keep.
As you drive the Ford through many months and years you
will develop an increasing pride in its appearance and a
growing respect for the substantial worth that has been built
into it. From every standpoint—in everything that goes to
make a good automobile—you will know that you have made
a far-seeing, satisfactory purchase.
Wherever you go, you hear enthusiastic praise of the car
and this significant, oft-repeated phrase—“l’m glad I
bought a Ford.”
A FORD owner in New York tells of a
13,000-mile trip across the United States
and back in sixty days and says “the car
was extremely economical to operate, com
fortable and speedy.” A grateful father
tells how the Triplex shatter-proof glass
windshield saved his wife and children
from serious injury.
To test tires, a large company drove a
new Ford day and night, for an average of
500 miles every twenty-four hours. It was
still giving satisfactory service after
105,000 miles.
A Ford car that had fallen into Fernan
Lake was submerged for twelve days be
fore being raised. After a new battery and
carburetor bow’l were installed, it was driven
back to Spokane under its own power.
Many police departments have written
of the special advantages of the Ford in
crowded traffic because cf its alert speed,
acceleration, and case of control. An in
creasing number of fleet owners are also
purchasing the Ford because their cost
figures have given conclusive proof of its
economy of operation and up-keep.
•
In addition to important triumphs in
Germany, France and Italy, the Ford won
six out of seven leading places in
in Finland, first and second in the Rafaela
races in Argentina, first and second in the
cured by such deed due and payable.
A deed will be executed to the
purchaser at said sale as provided in
‘ said security deed.
Said sale will be conducted by
S/Lowrey Stone as the duly appointed
, and constituted agent and attorney
!of said The Union Central Life In
surance Company.
Said real estate will be sold as
the property of Judson W. Swann.
