It will be of interest to Blakely
friends to know that Tom Averitt,

the Y. M. C. A. freshman cabinet.
Tom is also a member and vice-pres
ident of the Theta Kappa Nu fra
ternity, and takes an active interest
in college activities. He is a son of
Mrs. Mayme Jones Averitt, formerly
of Blakely, and a nephew of Mr. W.
G. Jones of this city.
By the way, Mother and Dad, you
may forget to write that boy or girl
away at college—just too busy.
Then you are likely not to tell all
the events of the week. Maybe not
mention the local football game.
Or, if you are just mailing a copy,
it may get lost. Save yourself the
trouble and insure “a letter from
home” each week by letting us send
that college boy or girl the Early
County News. You can bet they
will read it and thank you.
