According to James K. Clinton, in his book, “The Shamrock,” real shamrocks grow only in three coun
ties, and all of them are not in (he Irish Free State.
Although snakes arc not as common in Ireland as they arc in the rural districts of the United States,
there are a great number of varieties. According to 11. P. Garland, snake authority of Cambridge univer
sity, there were known to be 78 different kinds of snakes in Erin in 1934.

Rev. H. E. Gaddy Resigns as Pastor
of Macedonia Church
Members of Macedonia church, as
well as Baptists of the entire Kim
bell Association, will regret to learn
that Rev. Hubert E. Gaddy has re
signed the pastorate of Macedonia
church to accept a call to the Bap
tist church in Louisville, Ga.
He has served as pastor at Mace
donia for four years and during that
time has won a place in the hearts
of the members of the church and
community as few preachers have
ever succeeded in doing. He is loved
by both old and young and without
exception has made friends in every
home into which he has gone. He has
been untiring in his efforts to win
people to a place in God’s service,
and to render whatever assistance
♦
possible to the unfortunate and
shut-ins in the community.
Under his leadership the church
has been rebuilt and modernized
with S. S. classrooms, choir rostrum,
and repainted. Every department of
the church has felt his guiding in
fluence and has flourished during
the past four years.
While we are glad for his sake of
this promotion in God’s work, yet
his going leaves a vacancy which
will be felt as never a vacancy has
been felt heretofore. He will preach
at Macedonia on February 12 for
the last time and it is expected that
a large congregation will hear him
at that service.

WESLEYAN OFFERS
ESSAY SCHOLARSHIP
THROUGHTOUT SOUTH
Macon, Ga.-^—The old South—its
Confederate traditions, its generals,
its statesmen, its women—will be
brought back to life in an essay con
test now being sponsored by Wes
leyan College of Macon, and open
to high school students throughout
the South.
Contestants will seek material for
these essays in molded family al
bums, in dusty wills, or perhaps in
cemeteries where tombstones and
epitaphs tell interesting stories of
Civil War days, Dr. S. L., Akers,
dean at Wesleyan, said in announ
cing the contest recently.
The writer of the best essay will
receive full tuition to Wesleyan for
one year under a scholarship provid
ed by Dorothy Blount Lamar, presi
dent general of the United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy.
The essay scholarship, available to
students in Tennessee, North Caro
lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Flori
da, and Alabama, is one of two
groups of scholarships offered each
year by the Georgia college.
Two scholarships are offered to
high school seniors who rank highest
in a competitive examination given
each year by the college.
February 15 has been set as the
deadline for the mailing of applica
tions in the essay and competitive
examination contests, Wesleyan au
thorities have announced. Complete
information regarding the time and
place of the contests has been sent
to high school principal throughout
the South.
