Os Baptist W. M. S.
Has Christmas Party
The Pearl Todd Circle of the
Baptist W. M. S. combined a Christ
mas party with its last meeting for
the year at the home of Mrs. H. C.
Fryer on Monday afternoon.
Emphasizing the holiness of the
Savior’s birthday, Mrs. J. L. Hous
ton conducted a most inspirational
devotional, selecting as her Scrip
ture lesson the second chapter of
the Gospel of Luke.
Following the regular business
session, a program of carols and
games was enjoyed, with special
musical selections of cornet solos
by Ray Lindsey.
The spacious living room, with its
attractive Christmas decorations of
greenery and bright lights created
an atmosphere of holiday revelry
which was further emphasized by
the brilliantly lighted tree laden
with the simple little love gifts ex
changed by the members as tokens
of the deep and abiding friendships
formed and enjoyed during this
past year of association together.
In appreciation of her unfailing
loyalty and consecrated work during,
the past twelve months, the Circle'
Chairman, Mrs. J. R. Donnan, was :
presented beautiful Italian cut-work
pillow cases as a gift from the entire i
Circle. Mrs. H. C. Fryer, co-ehair- (
man, and Mrs. Ralph Scarborough, 1
secretary, rwere also presented I
simpler gifts by the Circle in appre
ciation of their faithful services.
In expressing her thanks to the
Circle members for their loyalty and
co-operation during her work with
them, Mrs. Donnan gave each mem
ber lovely Christmas cards bearing
the names of every active member
of the Circle, which may be kept as
mementos of the year 1936.
On each plate of sandwiches and
tea served by the hostess were
sprays of holly to be worn by the
guests as remembrances of this
happy occasion.
Those attending were: Mrs. J. R.
Donnan, Mrs. H. C. Fryer, Mrs. J.
L. Houston, Mrs. Grady Smith, Mrs.

Natural Chilean Nitrate
“NATCHEL” PROGRAM
WINS MANY LISTENERS
AFTER RADIO BOW
Much interest is being shown in
the radio feature recently inaugu
rated by the Natural Chilean Ni
trate People, now a regular pro
gram on twelve leading southern
stations.
The leading characters are Uncle
Natchel and Sonny. The former is
a sage old darky whose name de
rives from his intense love for
“natchel” things. The latter is his
small white charge, the son of
Natchel’s employer, whose adven
tures and schemes are those that
are natural in the life of a typical
farm boy.
Uncle Natchel is played by Frank
Wilson, who portrayed “Moses” in
both the stage and film version of
Green Pastures. Sonny is James
Franklyn Alien, a Tennessee boy of
nine, who already has shown mark
ed talent in radio and motion
picture roles.
Uncle Natchel and Sonny are
supported by a well-balanced cast
of radio players, and the many
musical numbers arranged by the
author, Mrs. Florence Richardson,
an authority on Southern folk lore
and old negro songs, are especially
appealing. The two leading charac
ters, Uhcle Natchel and Sonny, have
been featured pictorially for three
years on the Natural Chilean Ni
trate calendars.
The new King of Great Britain,
George VI, and his Scottish com
moner wife, Queen Elizabeth, will
be crowned King and Queen next
May.

The Sager’s Sayings
I allow the folks in Early air a-hav
ing of a time
A-tuning up for Christmas—drink
ing liquor that is prime,
A-shouting out the glory of the
good times now at hand
And rejoicing altogether in the
blessings from the land.
Year time labors done and over and
begone starvation’s ghost
In the lap of heaping plenty that
abides each farmer host.
There’s friend Grouchy Rac and
Stoker, once too proud to own
their lot,
Now guffawing long and loudly from
the blessings that they’ve got.
And I hear the self-same tidings
from the bordering lines of Clay
To the wilds of “Seminoley” and all
points along the way,—
From the grassy swords of Freeman
to far Spring Creek’s rising tide
And thwart the Colomokee rippling
on in bouyant pride,—
From the fertile fields of Cuby to
the rich tiered plains of Luke,
Giving lies to hard-time prophets
and to them deserved rebuke.
Yea, they came in one grand anthem
telling of requited hopes
From each far-flung happy sector
where abide the farmer folks.
And I joy with you good people over
all you’ve won and how!—
All you folks who walk the furrows
in the sweatings of the brow.
And I shout right back the tidings
unto all where’er you be,
Though the sweetness in the living
never more will be for me.
For grim fate has set its markings
on these pain-racked bones of
mine
To for aye withstay the plowings at
which once I loved to shine.
