Over 40,000 buggies were made
in the South last year, among them
some that were good, and some
were bad, but Valdosta, Ga.,
made some of the very best ones
Yet it is true that a good many
people in South Georgia have
bought foreign made buggies not
nearly so good, when the” could
have bought a high grade Valdos

price. See add on page 3.

Big Meeting at Big Creek-
Brother J. I. Oxford arrived at
home last Wednesday morning af
ter an absence of eleven days, and
reports that he has just been through
one of the most successful and en
thusiastic meetings at Big Creek
church, Appling county, of the
year, taking up all that time. Dur
ing the series of meetings there
were thirty additions to the church,
twenty-five of which were to
baptise. There are three others
who will join. Some of those to
be baptised are between fifty and
sixty years of age. Contributions,
$29.00 cash, $38.50 in subscrip
tions.
He was at Guysie Tuesday night,
where there were nine additions to
church, returned there Wednesday
night where he is now carrying on
a series of meetings.
Brother Oxford’s preaching is
meeting with wonderful success
wherever lie goes.
At the Baptist Church Last Sunday-
Bro. Adams preached morning
and evening at the Baptist church
last Sunday, and although be
claimed to be in a broken down
condition, from having preached
fifty four sermons without rest, he
seemed to be at his best. llis ser
mons were among the best we have
heard in a long time, and were
commented on by all who heard
them. Those who missed hearing
them were the losers.

Our Face Rot Blue-
Sometime ago we asked candi
date Ward, as an honor, to allow
us to print a part of his primary
election tickets, but he refused, at
the same time pointing to the pic
ture of a man, on the window of
of the drug store, with a very blue
face, he said : “When the tickets
are all printed your face will look
like that man’s face.” We replied
that “when the tickets were voted
and counted his face would look
blue.”
Now, lets see, we have printed
tickets for eleven candidates, 2,50 c,
each, 27.500. Four others with
an additional thousand, making in
all, 31,500. Such as that, 18,000
of which were printed on Monday,
didn’t make our fape blue a bit,
and as there were many other candi
dates, we hope our neighbor did as
well. Now, let’s see how his face
will look when all these tickets are
voted and counted. Our books will
show these facts.
