Jackson Girls
Beat Fayetteville
Saturday Night
JACKSON AND FAYETTEVILLE
SPLIT TWO GAMES HERE SAT
URDAY NIGHT. LOCAL GIRLS
WIN BY SCORE 23-7
Jackson High and Fayetteville di
vided a doubleheader Saturday
night on the court at Indian Springs
before a numerically small but en
thusiastic group of spectators. -
The Jackson girls came through
with their best game of the year to
date and turned back a hard fight
ing Fayetteville team which never
seriously challenged, by a 23-7
score. The least said about the boys
game the better, but Jackson man
aged to pick up two points from the
foul line to keep from being white
washed. The score was 26-2.
Mary Ruth Thurston led the scor
ing for the Red and Black with 12
tallies, and was followed by Hazel
Jackson with seven and Evelyn Ar
cher with four. The defensive play
of the Jackson guards, Jane Thurs
ton, Lunette Pope, and Ellen Jane
Sams was so brilliant that the vaunt
ed offensive of the visitors never
got under way.
Fayetteville’s sharp shooting for
wards, White and Loyd, kept the
Jackson boys constantly on the de
fensive and were too excellent shots
for the local lads to bottle up.
White had 14 points to lead the
scoring.

Modern Education
A young agriculturist, just grad
uated from college, locked rather
scornfully at the old farmer. “Your
methods of cultivation are hopeless
ly out of date,” he said with a su
perior air. “Why, I’d be surprised
if you got ten pounds of apples from
that tree.” “So would I,” replied
the farmer. “It’s a pear tree.”—

CHURCH NEWS
Co-eperation in the Ministers’ Re
tirement Plan of the Baptist Con
vention of the state of Georgia was
voted by the First Baptist Church
in conference, Sunday morning,
February 12. This action, recom
mended by the deacons of the
church at their monthly meeting
Monday evening, February 6, was
another step toward providing fi
nancial security after the age of 65
for ministers of the Georgia Bap-
tist Convention who participate in
the plan. Adopted by the Georgia
Baptist Convention on November
15, this plan will become effective
beginning July 1, 1939, provided
the required number of churches
and ministers elect to participate by
that time. The report of the church
treasurer, R. 'J. Carmichael, was
presented at this conference and
showed that the financial condition
of the church is good, a balance be
ing shown after all obligations were
met.
Twenty-two Boy Scouts of
America, Troop 19, Flint River
Council, attended the Sunday morn
ing preaching service. Scoutmaster

ning at at 7 o’clock.

o’clock service Sunday morning,
Feb. 19. This is another of the sub
jects in a series on fundamental
doctrines of the Christian faith.
Special music will be rendered at
this service. At the evening service
the pastor will speak on the Gospel
which has as its theme the man who
could still a stormy sea with a word,
heal a demon-possessed man, and
raise a twelve-year-old girl from
the dead. rr Te record from an “eye
witness” is what some Bible schol
ars think of this shortest of the four
Gospels. In it, some believe, a man
of action appeals to men of action
to win them to faith in himself as
the Son of man who came to give
his life “a ransom for many.” Some
of the things in Mark’s Gospel which
show Jesus as the Son of God and
the Saviour of the world will be dis
cussed at this service which begins
at 7 o’clock. A male quartet will
sing at this service, it is planned.

England, the only church days which
are regular legal holidays, aside from
Christmas, are Good Friday, Easter
Monday and Whit-Monday.
Georgia’s Coldest Weather Occurred
Forty Years Ago; 8 Degrees Below Zero
BLUE BIRDS BLOTTED OUT IN
EXTREME COLD. BUT LIT
TLE SUFFERING, PAPER RE
PORTED IN ITS STORY
It was forty years ago this week
that Georgia had its coldest weather
since weather records have been
kept. A heavy snow storm sent the
thermometer to eight degrees below
zero, blue birds, mocking birds and
other birds were frozen, and con
siderable suffering resulted.
It is recalled by old-times that
snow began falling Saturday, Feb
ruary 11, and by Monday and Tues
day the earth was blanketed with
several inches of snow. The snow
remained on the ground for several
days.
Editor Parry Lee of the Jackson
Argus in the issue of February 17,
1899, wrote of “The Blizzard” as
follows:
“Georgia has had this week the
coldest weather, perhaps, in her his
tory.
“Snow began falling Saturday
night and continued most of the day
Sunday with high winds from the
northwest. The mercury fell grad
ually until Monday when the lowest
point was reached about 8 a. m.
Dr. R. G. Bryans says the thermome
ter in his north veranda registered
11 degrees below zero. Others who
have thermometers reported as fol
lows: F. M. Allen, 5 below zero;
Charlie Beauchamp, 6 below; H. B.
Tullis, 6 below, and others reported
a temperature of 5 to 7 below zero.
“It was a revelation in cold wea
ther to our people. There was com
paratively little suffering, and when
a case was reported supplies were
promptly furnished. Business was

benumbed and practically at a stand
still on Monday. The temerature
began to ease somewhat on Tues
day and sleigh riding was a favorite
pastime.
“If the snow and the exceeding
cold weather have damaged this
section it is very little so far as
known and the compensating bene
fits will be great. Disease germs
will be killed and the insects which
destroy the useful products of the
soil will also be largely exterminated.
“Really we are under renewed ob
ligations to offer thanks to the bene
ficent Giver of every good and per
fect gift.”
CARD OF THANKS
Mr. and Mrs. I. C. Smith and fam
ily wish to thank their friends for
the cards and letters sent during
the illness of Mr. Smith, and regret
that it is impossible to answer each
one.
The chance for quintuplets have

Bronchial Coughs
Need Creomulsion
Just a common cough, a chest cold,
or a bronchial irritation of today may
lead to serious trouble tomorrow. They
may be relieved now with Creomulsion,
an emulsified Creosote that is pleasant
to take. Creomulsion is a medicinal
combination designed to aid nature in
soothing and healing infected mucous
membranes by allaying irritation and
inflammation and by aiding in loosen
ing and expelling germ-laden phlegm.
The Medical Profession has for gen
erations recognized the beneficial effect
of Beechwood Creosote in the treat
ment of coughs, chest colds, and bron
chial irritations. A special process was
worked out by a chemist, for blending
Creosote with other ingredients so that
