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.

LETTER FROM MR.
R. E. GRIFFETH.
Mr. M. J. Griffeth, of this city, has
received a most interesting letter from
his brother, Mr. R. 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.
There are oil men here from all over
the country and the streets and hotels
of Ada are crowded. lam still in the
cotton business and doing real well.”

lodge No. 103 May 25th, 1918, under
dimit from Johnnie Hill’s Lodge. Thus
briefly is expressed the history of a
useful life, one whose place in the com
munity will be missed, for as a consis
ent member of his church, a loyal mem
ber of his fraternity, and a devoted
husband and father, he had endeared
himself by earthly ties to those about
him.
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 saves from thirty to fifty per cent of the
farmer’s time.
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.
