rest on the site of towers built by

FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH NEWS
The Sunday school attendance last
Sunday at the First Baptist church,
despite the weather, was an increase
over the attendance on the previous
Sunday. The Intermediate De
partment, Miss Phinazee, superin
tendent, led the other departments
in their attendance record on this
day, and the Fidelis class, Mrs. How
ell, teacher, made the best record
of the classes in the Sunday school.
The Anglers’ class enjoyed an
oyster stew in the basement of the
church on Friday evening, January
27, at which time Mesdames Jack
Moore, Herbert Moore, Howard Per
due, Arthur Stodghill, John Thurs
ton, and Miss Julia Vaughn served.
Mr. C. F. Singley, president, had
charge of the program on which
Messrs. T. A. Nutt, teacher, J. T.
Moore, assistant teacher, D. W. Ham,
Gaither A. Briggs, J. C. Kimbell,
S. H. Thornton and M. L. Powell
took part, with Mr. Howard Perdue
leading the singing assisted at the
piano by Miss Julia Vaughn.
The Baptist Training Union bus
iness meeting was held in the church
parlor Monday evening with Miss
Minnie Lou Tingle, director, in
charge. The records for the past
month show that the Intermediate
Union led in the average grade
made, and all three unions were
loyal in their attendance on the Sun
day evening preaching services.
Mrs. S. H. Thornton, president,
announces that the circles of the
Woman’s Missionary Society will
meet Monday afternoon, February 6

A' vocal solo entitled “I Shall Not
Pass Again This Way” will be ren
dered by Miss Catherine Thornton
at the evening preaching service
February 5. “What Would Jesus
Do” is the pastor’s subject for this
hour, when he will discuss the ques
tion as to what Jesus would do if
he lived on the earth in human form
as he did many centuries ago. Spe
cial music will be rendered at the
11 o’clock service on this day, it is
planned.
The public is cordially invited to
attend all the services of the church.
“BACK ~ CODS NEWS” NAME OF
PAPER PRINTED NEAR LAKE
Number one, volume one of the
"Backwoods News,” printed by the
students of Jackson Lake Vocation
al School, has been received here.
This camp, one of the leading insti
tutions of its kind in the nation, is
located in Newton county near Jack
son lake. Henry W. Derden is direc
tor of the camp and the first num
ber of the paper is dedicated to him.
In this camp the Future Farmers
of America study vocational agricul
ture, handicraft and kindred sub
jects. Ernest Brooks, Jackson, is
vice president for 1939 and other
Butts county students are enrolled.
The camp was built by boys in
adjoining count : es under the super
\ iiion of Mr Derden. The plant,
according to those who have seen
it, is declared to be one of the best
in the entire country.
Keep Clean Electric Bulbs
“What’s the matter with that
light? It seems to be getting dim
mer and dimmer.” Maybe there is
a reason. Those of us who have used
and perhaps still are using oil lamps
know that lamp shades get dusty
even if they are not used enough to
get smoked up. Of course there is
>o smoke or lamp black about an
electric bulb, but the dust and dirt
just will accumulate on the bulbs
and reflectors and shades. So they
have to be cleaned once in a while.
Keep the bulbs and fixtures clean
and let your light shine.

Last season was bad, yet I produced 1,800 pounds of seed
