REV. EUGENE DANIEL
RESIGNS PASTORATE

Friends in Jackson and Butts
county are interested to know that
the Rev. Eugene L. Daniel, former
pastor of the Jackson, Fellowship
and Bethany Presbyterian churches
and since December pastor of the

ill health, it was explained. Mr.
Daniel is now taking a rest in Flor

Graduate of Georgia Tech and
Columbia Theological Seminary, Mr.
Daniel was pastor of three church
es in this territory for five years
before accepting a call to serve the
church in Cairo. While a resident
of Jackson he was an active civic
worker, being a past president of
the Kiwanis club and interested in
Boy Scout work.
Local friends hope his health will
soon be completely restored.

Seigler Warns
Of Challenge
To The Church
GUEST SPEAKER TOLD KIWAN
IANS JEWS GAVE THE WORLD
CHRISTIAN RELIGION, AMER
ICA TRUE DEMOCRACY
The pillars on which civilization
rests—the business order, the gov
ernment order, the educational sys
tem, the home and the church—are
being challenged by world events,
the Rev. O. M. Seigler, of Canton,
evangelist in charge of revival ser
vices at the First Baptist church
and guest speaker at the Kiwanis
lub Tuesdacy night, declared.
“No man liveth to himself, but
all are interrelated and interdepen
dent,” the speaker said. The pres
ent age received its literature, art
and sculpture from the Greeks, law
and commerce from the Romans,
thrift and hardihood from the Ger
mans and Nordics, diplomacy and
colonization from the English and
the Christian religion from the Jews.
Oppression in the old world led to
the settlement of America where
true democracy was evolved, it was
explained, and the blending of the
Puritans in New England, the
French Huguenots in the middle belt
and the German Salzbergers in the
South resulted in the present great
nation.
World events and dictatorships
are challenging the existing order
as never before, it was declared.
Soil conservation should be stressed,
lest the population of the future be
unable to feed itself. Even the
government is undergoing changes
and politicians are interfering with
the schools. The home is becoming
tainted with isms and the Russian
plan of abolishing the home in favor
of state socialism was mentioned. It
is the church that has the keenest
competition of all these great agen
cies. He urged that the church be
supported by loyalty and co-opera
tion.
Character building is the greatest
work of the church and civic clubs,
the speaker explained.
The program was arranged by the
committee on Support of Churches
in their Spiritual Aims and the
speaker was presented by the Rev.
G. A. Briggs.
Dinner was served by the U. D.
C., Mrs. L. M. Crawford chairman.
The program for May 7 will be in
charge of the committee on Boy
Scouts, Rufus Adams chairman.

Mrs. J. M. Bankston
Claimed By Death
The death of Mrs. J. M. Bankston,
72, of Jenkinsburg, early Sunday
afternoon came as a shock to her
family and friends. Although Mrs.
Bankston had not been in good
health for the past three months
she was able to visit friends in Mon
ticello and Jackson Saturday after
noon, and ate a hearty meal Sunday
at noon. Her death came suddenly
at two o’clock as she was talking
with membex-s of her family and sev
eral neighbors.
Mrs. Bankston, who was one of
the county’s most widely known and
beloved citizens, was Miss Margaret
Glass, eldest child of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel Edward Glass, of
Heni-y county. She was the widow
of the late Mi*. J. M. Bankston of
Jenkinsburg, who died in August,
1926. She was the mother of eleven
children, two of whom preceded her
in death. They were a daughter,
Mrs. Lola Bankston Moore of At
lanta, and a son, Dodson Bankston,
or Jenkinsburg.
Funeral services were held Mon
day afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at
the Methodist church at Jenkins
burg with Rev. E. C. Wilson, for
mer pastor but now of Hapeville,
and Rev. C. B. McKenzie, pastor,
having charge of the services. Beau
tiful flowei’s were sent by friends
and relatives, showing the high es
teem in which Mrs. Bankston was
held.
Bui’ial was in the family lot in
the Jenkinsburg cemetery.
Surviving Mrs. Bankston are sev
en sons, J. E., Macon, L. C., Dublin,
T. A., Washington, D. C., S. P., O.

Electric Cookery
Cook Electrically
For About 9c a Day!
Clean, carefree, convenient
Electric Cookery costs much
less than most women think!
For example, if your electric
bill now averages about $3.00
for lights, refrigeration and
small appliances, you can
add an Electric Range for
about 9 cents a day. That’s
less than it costs to cook
troublesome, old-timey ways!
Electric Cookery may cost
you a little more, or less, de
pending upon how much
electricity you now use and
how large a family you have.
Come by the City Hall and
let us estimate the low cost
of Electric Cookery for you!
Miscellany
Proverb: “There’s no good moth
erinlaw but her that weai’s a green
gown.”
Gi’een gown indeed! Indeed there’s
many a good motherinlaw now ex
tant, and long may it be before any
of them wear the green gown of sod
over the grave.
This old English proverb is like
every other maxim ever written: it
is only a half truth. Saws and say
ings are to be examined like fancy
ribbons, they have two sides. See
both before taking.
Any woman who has sufficient
understanding and forbearance to
make a good wife will, and doubt
less does, make an equally good
motherinlaw. Often, all too often
it is true that instead of “too much
motherinlaw,” there is too little
soninlaw.
And the moral of the story is
that even proverbs should not be
swallowed hook, line and sinker,
and that a motherinlaw can very
well be a man’s best friend.
Last week we heard a very par
ticular pei’son say our local paper
was today “better than it had ever
been.” Those were the very words.
And the speaker was a former Jack
sonian who knew it when. So it’s
orchids to you, Mr. Jones, and all
ye gallant scribes. More power
to you.
A colored woman last Friday was
showing around the square a roos
ter’s liver said to look as if it might
have weighed three pounds. No, he
was a perfectly healthy rooster, they
said, had just been killed for the
pot. He seemed normal, only had
an exorbitant liver.

HOW do you feel at the end of the day? Chip
per and pert, or too tired to move? It’s the time
you spend in the kitchen that decides which.
If you have to fret and fuss around for hours
with a pokey old stove, you’re pretty sure to be
worn to a frazzle when your day is done! But if
you Cook Electrically well, that’s different!
For an Electric Range is clean, quick, convenient!
Its oven is heavily insulated on all sides so heat
can’t leak out. Air stays fresh. So do you! Fresh
as a daisy! Because there is no flame, or smoke,
or soot, or smudge to dirty walls and utensils.
Isn’t it time you changed to a modern Electric
Range? Then, dash to your electrical dealer’s
store and see the new Electric Ranges. Find out
how cheaply you can cook on one . . . how
easily you can buy it on low monthly terms!
Now could that cockerel have been
a sort of fowl drinker and was de
veloping a cirrhosis? Did he invite
that heavy inner stoi’ehouse by too
much swell-chesting and goose
stepping before the lady hens?
Doctors say the liver has a private
channel from the stomach by which
it stoi’es up great quantities of gy
cogen for nourishing the body. So
that if thd stomach deserves the en
titlement, as some give it, of Sec
retary of the Interior, then the liver
may be dubbed the Dept, of Sup
plies.
This particular chanticleer had a
department of Surplus Supplies, a
sort of Fort Knox for burying his
gold. With his big liver he was

SCREW WORM MAKES
EARLY APPEARANCE
IN BUTTS COUNTY
