Revenue From Beer and Wine
Sales Swell County Coffers
Butts County Treasurer
Billy Sutton reports that
Butts County is deriving
income from the sale of beer
and wine, after one month’s
experience, in about the
amounts anticipated.
Of the four wholesalers
licensed to distribute beer
and wine to the 10 retail
outlets in the County, only
one had reported sales for
July and remitted $896.40 to
the County, Sutton said. If the
other three wholesalers have
comparable sales, then the
County should receive be
tween $3,000 to $4,000 per
month from sale of the
beverages.
Wholesalers collect the
beer tax at time of sale to the
Local Unemployment Rate
Of 9.5 Leads Area Counties
According to figures re
leased by the Mclntosh Trail
Area Planning and Devel
opment Commission, un
employment in the eight
counties represented by the
Commission stood at 6.8
percent for May, with Butts
County still having 9.5
percent of its labor force
unemployed.
The figures reflect a trend
that has continued for the
past several months and
which show Butts County
with the leading unemploy
ment rate for counties in this
area.
With a total labor force of
4,578, Butts County had 4,145
employed, with 433 still
seeking jobs.
Henry County, Fayette and
Spalding counties all showed
unacceptable levels of un
employment, although most
were well below the local
unemployment rate.

WELCOME HOME!
0 trusty type writer, you have written many
a poem!
Seven volumes of them all, have been pound
ed out by you!
And so, about a week ago, you ended
on the blink!
Your total disability just made me stop
and think!
Then, I carried you around to a local
repair shop!
My friend sent you to Griffin for your ail
ment there to stop!
It cost a pretty penny to get you all fixed up!
The price of eighty dollars overflowed
my cup!
With tenderness and loving care, they brought
you back to me!
And now my poems all reflect your typing
tenderly!

BEING -IN THE WAY”
OF GOD
“I being in the way, the
Lord led me”. Genesis 24:1-7.
As we read these script
ures, we comprehend one of
the most practical incidents
in the Bible, demonstrating
how the will of God is to be
understood. Our key verse is
verse 27. Let’s look at the
truth found here.
Knowing God’s will is not
complicated. “I being in the
way, the Lord led me.” The
servant was “in the way”.
God’s side is “to lead”. Don’t
confuse these. There are two
beginning points in knowing
and doing God’s will. God has
promised to lead the man
who puts himself in the way
to be led. Man does not have
the responsibility to pattern
or alter God’s will, this is
God’s part. Man’s part is to
be “in the way”. Man’s part
is also to be available for
God's use. However He does
it. God will make known His
,way to the man or woman
who waits to walk in it. I
don’t say this to over-simpli
fy it. Count on God to lead,
never mind how He does it,
for He has promised to do so.
Be sure your Life, Soul,
Mind and Body is committed
to His will and then depend
on Him to keep His side of the
bargain. You have God’s
promise. Count on it: Then
had lunch at Marsh’s.
