A GREAT RELIGIOUS AWAKENING
Inaugurated Sunday in Simultaneous Revival
Meetings.
Bishop Mikell to Preach Sunday Afternoon at
the Palace.
Never have the Christian people of First Baptist church in Chattanooga,
Cedartown been more thoroughly u- ranu* Saturday evening, and begun
... . , . his work Sunday morning. In the uf-
mted nor more strongly in earnest *
tcrnoon he preached a great sermon
than in the great movement for even- at a meetlnp Ilt the raluce
gelization that began Sunday with Theater. Prof. Edgar Slaton, of
meetings to be conducted simultane- Baylor University, Tex., is in charge
ously in the Presbyterian, Episcopal, 1 of the music.
j Dr. Chns. Kingsley, an evangelist
from Florida, came Saturday to take
charge of the services at the Presby-
Baptist and Methodist churches.
In all four of these churches em
inent divines have come from other
cities to lead in the work, and arc
preaching the Gospel with earnest
ness and power, and good singers arc
here to lead the song services in each.
The hours of service are 9.30 a. m.
and 7.30 p. m., except at St. James
Episcopal church where the first ser- ^
vice is at 10 a. m.
In each church every service is
well attended, and it is being dem
onstrated that the idea of simultane
ous meetings is a good one. Under
the old plan of separate meetings, a
comparatively few from all the chur
ches united in each service, but now
each church enlists and organizes its
own workers. The result is that the
people are thronging to their own
churches, and each of them is well
filled or crowded at every service.
At the Methodist church Dr. W. G.
Crawley, pastor of St. Paul’s church
in Atlanta, could not come Monday,
as was expected, because of illness in
his family. Rev. W. T. Irvine, tho
Presiding Elder, preached Sunday
night and Monday morning, and Dr.
Crawley came Tuesday evening. Rev.
B. F. Pirn, of Jonesboro, came Mon
day to take charge of the singing and
the children’s sendees.
Dr. John W. Inzer, pastor of the
terian church, preaching there Sun
day. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Belk, of
Piedmont, S. C., came Monday to
take charge of the song service.
Dr. J. W. Fulford, rector of the
Episcopal church at LaGrnngo, is in
charge of the services at St. James
Episcopal church, and has the assis
tance of Mr. Bernard Ilirons, former
ly of Canada, in the song ami chil
dren’s services.
Bishop H. J. Mikell, of Atlanta,
will preach Sunday morning and ev
ening at St. James Episcopal church,
and at 3 p. m. will preach at a mass
meeting to be held at the Pa^tce.
All the churches are more than
pleased with the able workers who
are here to conduct the meetings, and
pastors and people are co-operating
heartily with them in the great work.
All are cordially invited to attend
these services. Cedartown certainly
needs a religious awakening that will
bring right living and not mere
church membership, and in these sim-
utaneous meetings which begun Sun
day and which are scheduled to close
next Wednesday night there is seen
the opportunity for a great uplift be

“FROM STOREHOUSE TO MAR-
KET.”
The picture “From Storehouse to
Market” will be shown at the Palace
on March 27th and 28th. It was
made by the United States Agricul
tural Department to show the meth
ods of curing and storing sweet po
tatoes in curing houses which have
been developed by the Government
and are resulting in an increased
production. Every farmer should
be sure to see it.
Miss Ethel Harpst left yesterday
for Des Moines, la., to attend a con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and will spend several weeks
in the North and West in the interest
of the Mission School here.

DRINK THIS IN.
Whatever else may happen
Now the country has gone dry,
The sailor still will have his port,
The farmer have his rye;
The cotton still will have its gin,
; The seacoast still its bar,
! And each of us will have a bier,
No matter who we are.

Girls’ Clubs Growing.
Every farmer’s daughters in Polk
should belong to the Girls’ Clubs be
ing organized in the various schools
of the county for 1922 by the effici
ent new Home Demonstration Agent,
Miss Zelia Phillips.
It is gratifying to know that 140
have already joined —31 at Aragon,
25 at Antioch, 20 at Beneilictu, and
smaller numbers in other schools.
Miss Phillips is also organizing
Woman’s Clubs in Antioch and
Youngs districts, and is doing normal
work in various schools. She is an
enthusiastic and experienced worker,
and our county school authorities
have certainly done wisely in making
it possible for Polk to have her ser
vices.
By the change in the rules of the
United States Senate, all appropria
tion bills are now handled by the
Senate Appropriations Committee.
Senator W. J. Harris, of Georgia, is
a member of the committee, and is
the only Senator on the committee
•oming from the stretch of states
from North Carolina to Texas. The
•hange had already been made in the
House, and now both branches have
•organized their committees under
the budget system. Of special in
terest to Georgia is the change which
now calls for the rivers and harbors
bill to be considered by the commit
tee of which Senator Harris is a
member. The army appropriation
hill, heretofore handled by tho mili
tary affairs committee, is also of
great interest to Georgia. Congress
man Gordon Leo of Georgia is a
member of the same committee in
the House, so that Georgia is doubly
fortunate.
A continent-wide observance of
"Children’s Week” will occur from
April 30th through May 7th, in in
terest of the religious training of all
children throughout North America,
as the territory of the International
Sunday School Association. Sugges
tions as to programs may be secured
from the State Children’s Division

day School Association, 917 Hurt,

THE ARTISTS TRIO.
Unusual novelty and genuine artis
tic excellence—a rare and most desir
able combination—are delightfully
united In the program of the Artists
Trio Company, whose merit has been
unquestionably tried and proved by
the successful record of its members
during the pnst three years on the
platform. Everywhere this accom
plished trio has been greeted by the
superlative praise of enthusiastic
audiences.
Miss MncKelvIe, whose clever car
toons Inspire peals of laughter from
her audience, studied at the Art
Institute In Chicago nnd there de
veloped her unusual gift of caricature.
Miss MacKelvle also possesses a
soprano voice of rare richness nnd
beauty. It has warmth nnd brilliance
nnd Is used with distinction nnd dis
criminating art.
Coming Monday Night.
It is gratifying to know that ar
rangements have geen made by which
this entertainment will not begin un

the various churches Monday even

tainments to which you can go right

Corlnne Jessop is an equally popular
and delightful entertainer, whose
clever Impersonations, sometimes
humorous, sometimes dramatic, are
vividly realistic and a vitally Im
portant feature of the program. Miss
Jessop Is remarkably successful In
creating an atmosphere, in painting a
vivid though Imaginary setting for
her dramatic word pictures, and In
throwing herself most spiritedly Into
the character of her Impersonations
nnd of her songs.
Mary Johnson, contralto soloist with
the company, possesses a voice of great
range nnd power. She sings with
equal ease nnd nuthorltutlve art the

songs of the fireside. 4
The combined accomplishments of
this delightful trio furnish a program
of pictorial fun, exceptional musical

FARMERS SET UP BIGGEST BUS
INESS OF KIND IN STATE.
To Market $20,000,000 Worth of
Georgia Cotton This Year.
In two more weeks Georgia farm
ers will have successfully established
one of the largest business organiza
tions in the state, according to J. E.-
Conwel, manager of the cotton pool
ing campaign, with the purpose of or
ganizing the Georgia Cotton Grow
ers’ Co-operative Association’.
“This organization will do the lar- ,
gest business of any concern in the
state of Georgia handling farmers*
produce,” declared Mr. Conwell. “It
will handle, on the basis of the con
tracts being signed, at least 200,000
bales of cotton in the 1922 season,
representing an approximate business
turn-over of $20,000,000.
“The establishment of such a body
is a monument to the co-operative
spirit and business intellect of tho
cotton growers of Georgia.
“The volunteer machine which
signed about 50,000 bales of cotton
into the pool last week is going to
continue to function right up to the
last hour of the dead line. Unless
200,000 bales are signed by April
1st, the campaign will fail and every
contract signed by a Georgia farmer
in the movement becomes invalid.
It is absolutely necessary that every
farmer already interested in the as
sociation keep his shoulder to the
wheel in order to put the campaign
over.”

You have been asleep long enough.
It is now time for action.
Would you like to be classed as a Successful Farmer—an Independ

great opportunity now*within your reach.
You have for years and years tried out the old way, the Credit Sys

you started. The “toll” is too great. Now what is the remedy? There
