Miscellany
This is January 30th, snow of
the week agone still with us. Most
of Jackson has been living crudely,
in the raw, so to speak, as in co
lonial days. Nay, worse than that;
for ten days we’ve gone Robinson
Crusoe, eating, sleeping, living in
one room, with small chance of
company to chat away the long im
prisonment. Water from outdoors,
in the days of the old spring branch;
where also water must be emptied.
In a crisis of frozen bitterness, all
our conveniences seem to fail. By
the time this is read, if ever, may
we have again advanced to modern
devices.
Dr. Johnson would never permit
Boswell to talk of the weather.
Once when Boswell forgot and
broke over, saying that the great
rains were suridy good for the veg
etable kingdom, Dr. Johnson ad
ded, yes, and for the animals that
ate of those animals. So let us hope
the snow has nipped us now only to
bless us in some fairer days to
come.
Last week’s Progress-Argus
bloomed out like a German garden
with variegated political announce
ments. Which reminds there is a
verse in the nineteenth of Exodus
explicitly telling the voter how to
choose his candidate. It runs:
Thou shalt provide out of ALL
(not just the campaign addicts),
able men (that is, men of efficien
cy), such as fear God (godly men),
men of truth (honest men), hating
covetousness (incorruptible men),
and place such over the people.
Wonder why the International
Sunday School Association doesn’t
give this often as a Golden Text
to be memorized? There’s a text
that one can take jamb up against
the polls, and if used it will rebuild
jCI
our fallen political ideals. Here
again we find “that all the sages
said is in the Book our mothers
read.”
Jane to John:
My dear Mr. Coulter:—
It was not necessary to explain
that your offer was “pure business.”
You remember that from the first
I have called it a proposition, not a
proposal.
I see in it all a rare commixture
of pity, a calculating forehanded
ness for the other person, and a
sweeping disregard for your own
preferences, if any.
To this it should be said, first,
that persons of proper self-regard,
like the Feswicks, do not wish to
be pitied.
Then too, one could not be will
ing to oppose your altruism with a
selfishness that thinks to profit by
s death.
And last, may I suggest that to
one of your means a satisfactory
housekeeper can be had at no great
cost. You had thought of that, of
course?
Jane Feswick.
—Hamilton.

FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH NEWS
In spite of the unusually severely
cold weather, a number of people
attended the evening preaching ser
vice at the First Baptist church
Sunday, January 28. Although the
young people did not have their
regular Training union meetings, a
number of them attended the even
ing preaching service and were com
mended for their loyalty, as were
the others who came out to this
service.
The auditorium was quite com
fortable at this service, as it was
for the morning services, for which
credit is due Messrs. J. C. Kimbell,
R. P. Newton and Wilson Wood,
who were careful to keep fires suf
ficient to prevent pipes from freez
ing, and to install valves on all the
radiators so that these accelerated
and intensified the heating of the
building. A comfortable building
is thus assured hereafter, no mat
ter how bitter cold the weather may
become.
The Worker’s Council will not be
held until February 8, according to
a statement by superintendent H.
L. Allen. However, it is hoped that
a splendid attendance will be regis
tered at this February meeting. A
meal will be served at this time, and
superintendents of the several de
partments of the Sunday school will
be given opportunity to give a re
port on the work of their depart
ments on the basis of the six point
record system.
One million two hundred-fifty thou
sand dollars was recently awarded
by a Detroit court to a former $lB
--week telephone girl. This young
lady was the widow of Danny bodge,
young automobile heir, who was
killed on their honey-moon trip in
Canada. How any one may become
an heir of the God of the universe,
including possession of a mansion
“eternal in the heavens,” will be
discussed at the eleven o’clock wor
ship hour Sunday morning, Febru
ary 4, when the subject of the dis
course will be “The New Covenant.”
At the evening service the young
people of the Intermediate BYPU
will sing a special song, it is plan
ned, and the pastor’s theme will
be “The Message of Him” who hath
“eyes like a flame of fire” to His
church at Thyatira, the subject be
ing “The Message of the Son of
God to a Progressive Church.” The
scripture lesson will be Revelation
2:18-29.
The public is cordially invited to
attend all services of the church.

January Coldest
Month On Record
In This Region
Figures compiled by the Atlanta
Weather Bureau show January was
the coldest month in the Atlanta
area since weather records have
been kept. The average for the
month was approximately 29.5 de
grees, the weather report showed.
There was freezing temperatures
every one of the 31 days in the
month and the recent snow was the
heaviest ever recorded in this re
gion.
The previous coldest January wa3
in 1895 when the monthly tempera
ture average was 34.4 degrees, the
report showed.
Butts county has approximately
the same temperature as Atlanta
and the figures above would not
show much variation between At
lanta and Butts county.
TWO LOCAL MEN
HURT WHEN CARS
PILE UP ON ICE
George F. Gilmore and David
Gray received painful but not seri
ous lacerations about the face and
head when the car in which they
were returning to Jackson skidded
on the ice and hit a truck on the
Indian Springs highway Friday
night. Because of the ice several
cars were caught in the traffic jam
on the slippery and treacherous
pavement and a general unscram
bling was necessary.
Mr. Gray, cut about the face and
head, was taken to a Griffin hos-*
pital. He was expected to return
home during the week.
Mr. Gilmore was shaken and
bruised and cut about the face. Ho
was given treatment and is resting 1
comfortably at his home here.
The first recorded almanac was
written in 1380 by John Somers of
Oxford, England.
