Carlton; T. H. Johnson and J. H.
Howell, alternates.
The date for our revival services
has been announced to begin Sun

We trust that our membership and
the community will participate in the
services at the Baptist church and
that the meeting will be a great bless

CANDLER’S CHAPEL
I have offered the gift of a new
Testament for the best write-up on
what Candler’s Chapel is doing in
church, Sunday school and prayer
meeting work.
Bro. McCade Alford will give a
Bible to the one giving the second
best writeup. All writeups to be by
boys and girls in the sth, 6th, 7th
or Bth grades. Papers will be handed
in this week, and recorded only by
number. Mrs. R. C. Linder will act
as judge for them.
One of our bright little Sunday
school girls gave me a writeup and
it was so good that I am going to
give her a Testament and send it to
The Christian Advocate for publica
tion. This will have nothing to do,
however, with the contest.
We are looking for some papers
that will keep the judge up late at
night trying to decide which is best.
Come to our revival at Candler’s
Chapel, now in progress. You are
welcome.

“BETTER HOMES IN AMERCA”
Campaign For 1925 Better Homes
Week May 10-17.
What is your community doing to
support this year’s Better Homes in
America campaign?
This great educational institution,
founded in 1921 by The Delineator,
was in 1923 surrendered by us to
an Advisory Council, and incorporat
ed as a public-service institution. The
Delineator no longer participates in
the direction of the policies of the
Better Homes movement, but we do
heartily support it and urge the
readers of The Delineator to do so.
President Cooledge launched the
1924 campaign with this message by
radio to the nation:
“The American home is the source
of our national well-being. In it
our high traditions of service and in
tegrity are fostered. From the true
home there emerge respect for the
rights of others and the habit of co
operating for worthy ends. Through
sharing its common enterprises and
common sacrifices, the child develops
that sturdiness of character which
distinguishes the manhood and wo
manhood of our land.
“In recent years the remarkable
development of our material re
sources, of human invention and of
human opportunity has turned the
attention of many from the home to
other fields of engrossing interest.
It has been necessary to recall pub
lic attention to the home lest its
influence and its finer values be im
paired. I have, therefore, been well
pleased to note the founding of the
movement for Better Homes in Am
erica under the inspiring leadership
of Mrs. William Brown Meloney, and
have been happy to serve as chair
man of its Advisory Council. The
reorganization and program of the
movement I have followed with deep
interest, realizing the significance to
the nation of a widespread movement
to strengthen and improve the home.
“Thus at the opening of Better
Homes Week I am glad to call at
tention to the demonstrations plan
ned with such loyalty and disinter
ested zeal by the Better Homes com
mittees of hundreds of American
cities and villages and to commend
as a natural service the cooperation
of the woman’s clubs, civic and com
mercial associations and of the pub
lic and the press in this significant
undertaking. Such initiative, enter
prse and devotion should profound
ly influence the home life of Amer
ica, and should make firm the high
ideals which characterize our na
tion.”
Three years ago five hundred com
munities observed Better Homes
Week. In 1923 the number was
doubled. Dr. James Ford, the ex
ecutive director, recently stated that
more than twenty-five hundred com
munities participated in Better
Homes Week in 1924. What will
this year’s record be? You can help
to double it. We are going to try.
The Delineator is dedicated to the
American home and to American
home-makers. It believes that every
home in this country is a fortress. It
believes that one single home bet
tered betters the race. It believes
that the Better Homes movement,
with all that it means, is the most
important public work to which the
women of this country can give their
time.—March Delineator.

CARD OF THANKS
We desire to take this method of
publicly expressing our appreciation
for the many courtesies and kind
expressions from our friends and
neighbors during the illness of our
dear wife and mother. May God’s
richest blessings abide with each of
you.
W. E. GAINES
AND CHILDREN.
MRS. JOHN PARTAIN
We think not of her as dead but
as it being her heavenly birthday
and that she has been transplanted
to a sweeter and purer and better
life to live evermore with her Savior
and loved ones gone on before. Her
sweet spirit passed away March 29,
1925, in the silent watch of only a
few friends. Her blessed Lord call
ed her home and she answered “I am
ready.” She has gone, but her work
has not ceased, for the influence of
her noble character will live on and
on.
Though dead, she yet speaketh.
For her the victory is already won,
and her crown of life assured.
We need not mourn as though her
task was finished, for God means to
complete her coffers by using us and
the greatest trast homage we can
render her is to take up her works
and carry it on to completion. It
is a sad privilege to bear this loving
service. To others her memory will
be cherished with tenderness and
greatful love by all who knew her.
May we emulate her example and
meet her in the beautiful city of
God.
She joined the church in early life
at Shoal Creek and was a faithful
member until later years moving her
church membership to Cross Roads
about two years ago. Owing to h< r
health she had to give up her work
in July. She was married to Mr.
John Partain and to them was given
11 children, 9 of whom mourn her
death: Mrs. Quillie Herring, Mrs.
Henry Ankerich, Mrs. E. E. Sanders,
Mrs. Henry Weaver, Mrs. J. P. El
rod, Miss Ada Partain, Messrs. J. 8.,
Jr., Harold and Ray Partain.
She died March 29 and was buried
the day following at Cross Roads
Baptist church.
The pallbearers were Messrs. Hen
ry Ankerich, Quillie Herring, Henry
Weaver, E. E. Sanders, J. P. Elrod
and Will Vickery. Funeral director
W. C. Page, of Hartwell, was in
charge.

ROUND-UP OF AUTO TAG
DELINQUENTS PLANNED
The office of the Georgia Secre
tary of State, the State Revenue de
partment and the State Highway de
partment, cooperating with the sher
iffs of the various counties, will im
mediately launch a concerted cam
paign to round up delinquent auto
license tag purchasers for 1925, it
was announced Friday by Secretary
of State S. Guyt McLendon, says a
dispatch from Atlanta.
According to figures to date 179,-
171 motor vehicle licenses have been
issued for 1925, which indicates that
thousands of automobile owners are
still using their cars under a 1924
license. It is stated that, in the past,
thousands of dollars have been lost
to the state from this cause but if
the cooperating departments can pre
vent it, this leak will be stopped
during 1925.
