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 yond the dreams of tho most san guine “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.

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. —Memphis Druggist. 1882—1922 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.

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.” Potato Plants.
