Well, our governor wasted no time
in calling the legislature into session
to saddle the poor taxpayer with addi
tional burdens. It seems only yester
day that Marvin Griffin stood on our
courthouse steps and hollered that
“there will be no new taxes on the
people when I am your governor.” 1
believe that it would be better to do
without some of the things we think
we need, rather than to increase taxes.
This department invites you to visit
The News office and enjoy our air
conditioning. Last week the Fleming
brothers, the owners of this old insti
tution which I love so well, threw
caution to the winds, and bought a
unit which cools the entire building.
It is really fine to rare back to the
typewriter on these hot summer days
and be just as comfortable, or more
so, as on the first day of spring. Now
we are just as big as the banks, only
the paper in their places is a different
color from ours.
Speaking of air-conditioning, soon
our town will be nearly 100% that
way. White-Jernigan, Wynne Depart
ment Store, and Fryer's Pharmacy
have recently gone in for this chilled
air. A number of other business es
tablishments have had it for some time.
These' include Howell Drug Com
pany, Peters Rexall Store, Hall Drug
Company, Bank of Early, First State
Bank, Farmers Gin & Warehouse Com
pany, Boyett's Department Store, Pig
gly Wiggly, A & P Store, Blakely Pea
nut Co., The Pool Room, Holland Hos
pital, Deep South Motor Court, Blake
ly Methodist Church, and the Blakely
Baptist Church soon to add it, and
possibly others which I have over-
Jlooked and will hear about by the
time this sheet hits the streets on
Thursday. 1 wonder if any other town
comparable in size to Blakely, can
boast of any more business houses
with air-conditioning.
One day recently Mr. Edgar Pierson
killed a big rattlesnake in the back
yard of his home on Liberty street
Down on that end of town the resi
dents have all been complaining about
the aroma from the city's disposal
plant, and it is terrible because 1 have
been down there; the fact is, you don't
have to go there, because sometime
you can smell it for a good long ways
off. The killing of this snake right in
town caused some of the residents to
remabk that the scent from the dis
posal plant ran the snake out of the
woods
Wilton Howell, who has taken over
the scoutmaster’s job of Troop 82 and
is doing such a good job and enjoying
it 00, says that he asked his boys the
other day to give the scout motto,
which is “to be prepared.” but one lit

‘FENCEPOST TIPS’ l
Using fence posts from the home
woodlot will pay off in dollars ands
cents for Early County,
Aiton Peebles, Ranger, Early County
Forestry Unit, made that statement
this week as he cited several valuable
“fence post" tips for farmers in this
area,
The Ranger, emphasizing the need
for using durable posts on the farm,
declared much of the cost of putting
up fences comes from setting the posts
and attaching the wire. Use of non
durable posts means this operation
will need to be repeated every one tol
three years,
Ranger Peebles said improvement
thinnings not only will produce good
posts, but will leave more growing
room for the better remaining trees.
He cautioned, however, against the use
of poplar, sweetgum, and red oak as
fence posts, as their durability is low,
Species like locust, cedar, mulberry,
white and post oak, cypress and heart
wood of pine make far better posts.
The Ranger advised strongly that all]
posts be given preservative treatment
before putting them in the ground.
This can be performed either by haul
ing the posts to a treating plant or
giving them a home prmrvntivel
treatment on the farm. !
Information on the various methods
of home preservative treatment can be
obtained from the County Fomt,
Ranger or from the Georgia Forestry .

CHURCH OF CHRIST
301 FORT GAINES ST,
The First Day or Seventh, Which?
Since men are “dead to” and “delivered from" the law which
said “thou shalt not covet” (Rom. 7:4-7); and since the sabbath was
a “sign” between God and the children of Israel (Ex. 31:17) to keep
them in remembrance of their deliverance from Egypt (Deut, 5:15),
Christians are to worship on the first day of the week instead of
the seventh. As we have already shown, the seventh day was a day
of cessation from all activities—a day of rest. The first day of the
week is a day appointed for worshipful activity. In Acts 20:7 we
read that the disciples “came together.” This indicates the very op
posite from the sabbath observance when God commanded the Israel
ites to “abide ye every man in his place.” Ex. 16:29.
During the lifetime and personal ministry of Christ he kept
all the law God gave to the Israclites. He kept the passover as well
as the sabbath. This he did because he had yet to take the old law
out of the way. The Old Testament law was in force until Christ's
death on the cross. In Col. 2:14 Paul says of Christ and the law,
“Blotting out the hand-writing of ordinances that was against us,
which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing il to
his cross.” Again the time of the passing of the law is affixed at the
cross of Christ in Eph. 2:13-16. “But now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who
sometimes were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For
he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the
middle wall of partition between us; having abolished in his flesh
the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordi
nances, for to make of himself of twain one new man, so making
peace; and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by
the cross, having slain the enmity thereby.”
Like any other testator, Christ'’s own will could not go into ef
fect as long as he live. Heb. 9:16,17. So the Old Testament con
tinued and Christ lived according to it until the time of his death
when it was taken away. HBD.
