THURSRAY, MAY 6. 1921. Some Baptist Figures Mr. Editor: By request the following figures were compiled and read in Oconee church by the undersigned, not for the purpose of exploiting the Baptist of Jackson count}', but to show just how little attention the teaching part of our church work is receiving. The total population of our county, last year, was 24,654 souls. Taking two whites for each colored person, as has, heretofore, been about what the census showed, we have 16,436 white people. Of this number there are 4,- 283 who belong to the Baptist church es. The Baptist Sunday school rolls show that we have 2560 pupils in the schools. The average attendance upon these schools is 1551. Now taking into consideration that at least one-fourth of this enrollment are non-members — small children and a few older persons —we have only 1920 Baptist members in Baptist Sunday schools. And, of the average attendance, only 964 Bap tist attend Baptist Sunday schools reg ularly. Jackson county seems to be the “cor nering place” for the Associations. Of the above aptists, the members are di vided among 26 churches, 18 in the Sa repta association, 6 in the Mulberry, 1 in the Chattahoochee and 1 in the Enon. Brethren, this is being published hop ing that it will be an eye-opener to our people. We have been playing Sunday school long enough. Let’s get busy. Fraternally, W. E. WHITE, S. S. Com.

E. Griffeth, of Ada, Oklahoma, from which we make some extracts: “We have the iivest town on the map, and if you were here you would soon forget your loss on your cotton and bad guano notes. We have an oil boom on now, the first boom Ada has ever had? -They have struck a real oil well in about 11 miles of Ada. It hasn’t been brought in yet but the oil men think it w’ill be something like a thousand barrel well. Oil leases are going high. One lease was sold at auction yester day on 147 acres for $70,500. I bought a small lease next day after they struck oil for $lO an acre and can get S2OO an acre, but don’t want to sell yet.

Therefore, be it Resolved; That we extend our love and sympathy to the sorrowing friends and relatives of the deceased, pointing them to Him, who doeth all things well, for solace and comfort. Resolved, further, That a copy of these resolotions be spread upon the minutes of our Lodge, a copy be fur nished The Winder News for publica tion, and that a copy be furnished to the family of the deceased.

The Fordson plows, harrows, drills as much ground in the same time as from four to six horses. ( Many far mers say it does the work of eight horses.) The Fordson does for the farmer just what machine power does for the manufacturer-it enables him to manufacturei ,his products at less cost. And that is what the farmer wants to do; grow his crops more cheaply and make his margin of profit greater. And the Fordson will help him do it. Let us prove this to you by a demonstration on your own farm. Just phone us or drop us a card. King Motor Company C. B. MOTT, Manager. WINDER, GA.
