EIRE AT CLIMAX
News reached Bainbridge ear
ly Monday morning of the burn
ing of the Presbyterian church at
that place Sunday afternoon.
The church being destroyed will
prove a hard lick on our neigh
boring city. Aside from the
religious features a church is a
big part of the community life of
any small town. There will be
an immediate movement to re
build the church.

DEV. ARTHUR MOORE
Arthur Moore, the Beloved of
Bainbridge came over Sunday
and held services at the Methodist
Church and one of the largest
crowds that ever greeted a
preacher heard him at the morn
ing service. He was only here
for the one service and he preach
ed as usual one loving sermons
of bis that will always reach
| humanity and hold them. After
his sermon an effort was made to
raise money enough to pay off
the church debt and only a few
dollars were lacking of raising
the amount. The work of Mr,
Moore in this capacity being be
cause of the fact that the church
needed his help. He left on the
noon train back to his meeting in
east Georgia. His sermon was
enjoyed as is all things that
Moore does, everybody feels
such faith and confidence in the
man that his every act is pleas-

The little fellow is gettin along
very nicely under the circum
stances and it is hoped that no
complex situation will develop
to cause him any more trouble.
Paul is a bright little fellow and
his friends are sorry to bear of
this accident.

CHURCH ITEMS
l this
l&ed
will take place Friday afternoon
and will be in the nature of a
Hallowee’n party under the au
spices of the club and in the
interest of some need of equip
ment.
We as a club realize the necss-
ity of good reading for our young
people. Our motto is; ‘‘Young
America First.” We also realize
the hurtful influence upon our
young people of the cheap litera
ture of the “yellow back” type
that floods our country. One of
the first things that this club
has in mind is the organization
of a public reading room. In this
way we hope to supply our
young people both in and out of
school with wholesome literature.
We are now in a meeting here
that promises great things for
Christ’s Kingdom. Bro. McCord
is still with us. His preaching
is plain pungent and of John
the Baptist style. Prof. Peavy
is delighting the people in lead
ing them in song and Mrs. J. W.
Adams the well known pianist
is presiding at the piano.
All people of this section are
invited to hear them. Services
will continue through Sunday
30th. and longer if necessary.
Hawkes, the Eye Man is in the
city today at the Willis Drug
Company. A man that is trained
as optician and knows the bust

lieve that steps looking to peace
in Europe are underway, which
the public has not been informed
of, and that the upward trend of
cotton has been due to these
developments. Atlanta travel

eastern states declare this sec
tion of the country has never
before enjoyed a more bountiful
prosperity.
SKULL IS CRUSHEO
Carlton, the 5-year son of Af-
ton Williams of Cairo, is in a
sanitarium suffering from a
fractured skull and other bruises
as the result ot a runaway.
It seems that the young lad
was out with an older boy, when
the horse became suddenly
frightened by a passing car.
Both boys were thrown violently
against the brick building of Joe
Lee’s Laundry, but young Willi
ams seemed to have been the
most seriously injured. Reports
from the hospital later are the
young lad is fatally injured.
Young Griffin, who was with
the little Williams boy, is only
slightly bruised.

TO THE DELINQUENT
STREET TAX PAYERS
The police department has
been trying all the year to col
lect 'in the stieet Lax due the
city and process is alow because
they have tried hard to keep
from fining anyone for ?neg-
lecting to pay. If they had lin
ed up about a hundred delin
quents and fined them as the
law requires you would hear a
howl go up that would shake
the very banks of Flint River,
but they dont want to do this
except as a last resort.
The city cannot run on air
and they are needing funds now
to keep up tne city streets as
they should be. They can’t
well do it without the street tax
fund and every citizen knows it.
The advalorem tax books have
been open for several weeks
now and the folks are not pay
ing that tax as fast as they do
ordinarily. The city negds the
funds to run on just like any
other business and they ought
to have it when it is due with
out having to bear down on any
one. Have you paid your tax
yet? IF NOT it is a mighty
good time to do so.
CONFERENCE AT RECOVERY
Presiding Elder E. F. Morgan
held the fourth Quarterly Confer
ence at Recovery, Sunday after
noon. The charge will pay out in
fullon all lines thereby makingone
of the best showings that it has
made in years. The quarterly
conference sermon was preach

Kord who is now engaged with
pastor Jordan in revival services
at Climax. A splendid dinner

OFFICERS DO THEIR BEST
A little agitation of the sub
ject had kept the folks from be
ing worried with hogs eating up
their yards the past week. In
this matter the policemen did
not get the proper support as
they often would pull money out
of their own pockets to hire boys
to help them catch the hogs and
only to have the city council as
per their monthly statement re
fund the impounding fee. This
is a scant piece of encourage
ment and puts the officer in an
embarassing light and makes his
work a burden. The council
naturally dont like to be criticis
ed but they are obliged to admit
that this is true and has a ten
dency to make the impounding
laws a joke. If an officer catches
a man’s stock running at large
and obeys his ordinance and im
pounds it, then the owner going
before the council has his work
set aside, the officer is blamed by
the stock owner and looked on a
mischief maker when he is Only
doing his duty and the one mak
ing the mischief is the governing
body behind him that does not
sustain him in the discharge of
the duty.. The council does not
mean to nullify the law but that
is just exactly what they do in
cases of this kind.
