/ The ETTEVILLE NEWS VOL. XXX. FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 20, 1918. NO 23 ?• 7 y f f f HOME AFFAIRS ) School closes today for the holi days. Ask your neighbor to take the coun ty paper next year. Mr. T. N. Goodman has moved to the Dorsett home on South Side. G. H, Guy, who is working in At lanta, spent Sunday with homefolks. • Make the farm on which you live better next year! Be sure and start an orchard at your home this winter. If you are able get one farm la bor saving machine this winter. The “auto” has demonstrated liow much more one can do with a machine. These things save labor and horse power. ’ If negroes like chickens so well they should grow more of them. They could better resist temptation. Prof. B. H. Landrum and wife, for merly of this county, are now teaching in Wortham, Texas. They are well pleased. A letter this week from D. T. Luncefdrd in France says everything looks good to them now. They are well cared for and hope to reach home i nthe near future. He says they are glad to got The News. W eappreciate more than words can tell the kindness shown us during the illness and death of our dear husband and father. May God’s richest bless ings be with you all, is our prayer. MRS. J. O. STINCHOMB AND CHILDREN. If you failed to read the letter in last week’s issue from Rev. Will Hill, you look up your paper and read it. We think it one of the best communi cations ever sent us. Begin next year with a flower yard, an orchard, a pasture, a cow and a pig and calf for every child. A good flock of chickens will not make the premises look lonesome. The two Sunday schools decided last Sunday to have a Christmas tree. The several committees were appointed on Sunday afternoon and we are glad to see the interest being taken. It will be for the pupils only and every pu pil may expect a present. They ex pect to have a jolly good time and we all regret you are not a member of one of the schools. We miss many good things by the neglect of oppor tunity. We are glad that so many of the pastor of the county will remain on their work another year. Only one change we know, and that was on the Inman circuit. J. D. Milton was returned ‘to Fay etteville charge. E. L. Foote will be here another year. C. A. Adams will have about the same work, and as we understand the churches having pastors from out of the count} ''v ill retain them. This speaks will for all the pastors, and we feel sure they will accomplish more the second year. Only thirty per cent of the people of the county own their homes and from reports there will be more chang es than for many years. This is* not always best. Tenants cannot build up a farm in one year. It costs to move. It adds about one month’s work for every member of the fam ily and this would improve the place where we reside very much. It would terrace the farm welland repaii out buildings. It would start a flower yard or orchard, besides the damage done in moving. NOTICE! FAYETTE’S FIRST LIFE IN FRANCE. As we were ready for press last week we had notice of the death of the first of Fayette’s boys to die in France. Albert Posey of Brooks had not been heard from in some time. A telegram on December the 10th said he died December 1st in France of pneumo nia. Albert was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Posey of Brooks. He was twenty-two years of age and had been a member of the Methodist church and Sunday school since a small boy. We had known him for about fifteen years and his kind dispo sition made us always glad to meet him. We never saw him misbehave any where and he Avas liked by all the boys. He volunteered before he was drafted and in our last conversation with him he had given up his work in Atlanta and told us he Avas getting ready to go and do his part. He was industrious and so far as Ave could see never offered to shirk any duty. His Sunday school, his church and tOAvn Avill miss him. The people of the county regret his death, be cause they know he was loyal and faithful to his county. He Avas one of the county’s best young men, and the people of the en tire county join the News in extend ing sympathy, to the bereaved father, mother and family. COLONY HOUSES FOR HOGS. GROWLERS. Have you any in your community? If you can swap them for anybody the community is made no worse. We have stopped at places to learn the recent happenings of the commun ity, and in less than ten minutes one of these growlers would begin to talk ing about individuals^'the people or the church, the school or the teacher. The next time Ave were there it would be the same thing and some are not satisfied unless you agree Avith them. They seldom go to their school un less there is a disturbance. They won’t go and hear the preacher be cause he cannot preach from a text from the Bible unless he makes the old felloAv mad. If you sugest some thing good for the community, he be lieves the old Avay the best. Anything most will make a more valuable citizen. All who OAve me are urged to come and settle at once. I accommodated you and now I need your help so that I can meet ray obligations. Yours is past due. Come at once. J. E. TRAVIS. COW AND CALF FOR SALE. I will sell a nice Jersey heifer and calf. She is in good shape. Has pret ty udder and is from a splendid but ter cow. Price $100.00 if sold by De cember 21st. R. P. STEINHBIMER, 2t "" Brooks, Ga. NOTICE. You will find Watkins Liniment, Medicine, Toilet Goods and Flavorings at Chas. C. Travis’ Store, near the depot. We thank our customers for past fa vors, and will appreciate your future business. Several men wanted to take nearby counties; for further in formation see W. C. VOIJjENWEIDER, The Watkins Man, Fayetteville, Ga. When times are prosperous, it is too often the case that those things which develop character and community life are neglected. We believe three- fourths of the church buildings Avere erected or started when times Avere “hard.” Three-fourths of your school buildings Avere started or erected Avhen times Avere “hard.” When people are prosperous they often forget the rights of others. They feel that their money will carry them through, and hence manifest but lit tle interest in community progress, community building or the building of character. He really takes but little interest in publi caffairs' except those that will place dollars in his pocket. Christ ■ spent his last years work- ing for the salvation of others. Paul’s last years Avere spent in per suading others to do better and estab lishing churches for others. We OAve duty to ourselves. We owe duty tb our neighbors. We OAve duty to God. We Aveaken character when we neglect any of these. We are told that a good per cent of the cotton now being sold is dam aged because it was allOAved to take the recent rains. Cotton should not remain in the weather. Place it In a warehouse and have it insured. If you do not do this place it under a good shelter. It Avill have you from $10 to $25 per bale. We believe the price will go higher, but you had bet ter not hold it if you let it take the weather. Nearly every farmer producing swine can profitably use one or more movable hog houses. On many farms, especially where the winters are mild, movable hog houses Avill meet all the needs of the sAvine for shelter both fropr the hot sun - of summer and the dampness and storm of Avinter. The movable or colony hog houses are especially suited to the needs of the farmer just starting in the hog business, and also for pig club .mem bers. These houses can be moved from field to field as the pigs are changed from one grazing crop to an other. Their use makes it easier to keep the hogs healthy, as the house may be moved as soon as one place be comes insanitary or unclean. The movable houses can be built much more cheaply than the larger ones; they can be increased in number as the herd gets larger; and if the farmer is a renter they can be taken Avith him if lie should move. BROOKS. Christmas with all its symbols of joy, peace, happiness and good will to- Avard men, is nearby, but, oh, how many millions of sad hearts and homes made desolate because of loved ones Avho will never return that. Avere the sunshine and strong arm of support in homes that are now desolate, all on account of the cruel Avar, but Ave should remember to love and trust our heavenly Father, Avho will never af flict us above that Ave are able to bear. Several of our boys from the Geor gia camps have been mustered out of service ahd are home again rejoicing that the Avar is over. The Brooks school closes Friday till after the holidays. The musical de partment will have an entertainment ahd supper at night. All are invited to attend. Farmers through this section have about finished gathering their crops. There is quite a number of fine hogs in this section to be sclaughtered Avhen the weather will permit. There is quite a number of cases of “flu” yet in our community ; none, however, is considered serious. Mrs. W. F. MatheAvs and daughter, Anita, of Bremen, Ga., spent Saturday and Sunday with 'relatives here. Rev. Jones of the Inman circuit fill ed his appointment here Saturday and Sunday. Rev. Qutrell of East Point Avill serve the Christian church as pastor next year. Mr. H. C. Coppedge of East Point spent several days last week with rel atives and friends at Brooks and vi-, cinity. A REAL MAN. It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you havfc an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has sav ed a little, who has a reserve at the * Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t so afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhood. The larger the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confidence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever present resource in time of need. It’s not what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. Don’t make the mistake of wait ing nntil you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE. LINE CREEK. Prof. D. B. Led of Sharpsburg is teaching an interesting music class here at this writing. . Messrs. M.
