Mrs. M. E. Judd
Dies In Dalton
Butts county people were sorry to
learn of the death of Mrs. M. E.
Judd, prominent Georgia clubwoman
and former member of the Georgia
Forestry Association in charge of
state parks, which occurred last
week at her home in Dalton. Fun
eral services were held Saturday af
ternoon.
While a member of the forestry
association Mrs. Judd was in charge
of the Indian Springs state park and
gave considerable attention to the
development of that project. Under
her direction thousands of trees,
flowers and shrubbery were planted
on the Indian Springs reservation.
Her greatest activity in park work
was while M. B. Lufburrow was state
forester.
Mrs. Judd, 73 years of age, was
a native of the North but had re
sided in Dalton for many years. She
was an active club member and was
interested in the development of her
county and the state as a whole. Her
death, which occurred Thursday, fol
lowed a long illness.
More interest is being shown in
poultry shows at Georgia fairs this
year than in several years.

car Weaver, Jr., first decree.

Members of the Butts County
Boai’d of Education meeting Tues
day in regular session met the Jan
uary pay roll in full and expressed

AFTERNOON SERVICE TO BE
ADDED AT THE FELLOWSHIP
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Beginning this coming Sunday af
ternoon, there will be a regular
preaching service at the Fellowship
Presbyterian Church the second
Sunday in each month. This ser
vice will in no way interfere with
the regular services on the fourth

allowing many who cannot attend
a night meeting to be present.
The minister, Rev. E. L. Daniel,
announces that his sermon for this
first service will be on the subject:
“What Is An Adequate Christian
Faith?” A cordial invitation is ex
tended to the public to be present.
