METHODIST CHURCH NEWS
The Clayton Circuit of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,i
South, Rev. R. P. Ethride, pas
tor, has accepted $847.00 as a
minimum quota to raise; within
five years for the cause of Super
annuate Endowment of, that de
nomination. The goal for the en
tire church of this movement is
$10,000,000.00, the income from
which is to be used for ihe sup
port of the aged and infirm; min
isters and widows and orphans
of ministers.
The campaign for the fund is
being directed by the Board of
Financb of the Southern Metho
dist Church. St. Louis, Mo„
Bishop W. F. McCurry, chair
man, and Dr. Luther E. Todd,
secretary. The latter has issued
and sent to all pastors a booklet,
* ‘The Call of the Forgotten Man”,
which tells the pathetic story of
the great need, asks the church
to remember him with substan
tial giving and outlines plans
for raising the sum sought.
According to reports received
by the board, over 2,000 pastoral
charges have up to this time ac
cepted minimum quotas asked of
them and many of them have
voluntarily increased the a
mounts. Several large individual
gifts have already been announ
ced and others arc expected.
There are over 900 of the old
preachers, many of them pioneer
‘ - cTrcuir^flderr^WlW-^ee throglt
storm and sunshine, winter and
summer, day and night, to serve
humanity and the church, 1,300
widows and 600 orphans, many
'of whom are living in a little
better than poverty. They never
forgot duty and the church for a
single moment, and there is now
evidence on all sides that the
church is at last thoroughly
awake to its belated duly to its
forgotten servants.
This is a small amount for such
a worthy cause from such a well
blessed people as the Methodists
of Rabun County, especially since
they are accustomed to doing big
things for the cause of Christ.
These folks raised $941.00 for
the cause of missions and educa
tion and church extension in the
year' 1923 and for all purposes
$7;i{$.00. Let it be assured that
this $847.00 for these old soldiers
of the cross will be raised and
that in less than five years.

Sheriff Rickman and Messers
Bryant Hill and Carlton Cathey
came in Wednesday morninp
with Jack Blue and Jim Marsin,
two convicts who escaped the
Rabun road gang last monday.
They were out on the road when
these two men decided to try for
a get-away, which wa3 success
ful for the time being. They
carried an axe with them with
which they removed the shackles
from their legs.
These men were discovered in
Habersham county Tuesday
night but made their escape but
the men returned here and car
ried the track dogs back
and captured the men about day
light Wednesday.
While out on the chase they
overtook Will Gregg”,, for whom
the sheriff had a warrent charg
ing him with house breaking, and
captured him. after a chase. Af
ter being captured he came very
near stabbing the sheriff, and
probably would have, had it not
been for Mr. Hill, who called to
the sheriff just as Greag made
his lick, with a dangerous knife,
and barely missed the sheriff,
who dodged just in time to avoid
the stab but Gregg made anoth
er effort st the sheriff before he
was unarmed,

WOMAN’S CLUB' MEETING
There will be a meeting of the
Clayton Woman’s Club, in regu
lar session, at the club room, at
the court house, on Saturday,
April 12th, at 3:00 p. m.
All members are urged to at
ten,d.
Mr. B. W. Mathews, of Bunga
low Hill, is out again after a
very lengthy spell of sickness.
In this issue of the Tribune
will be found the quarterly state-
nent of the Bank of Clayton,
which, though needing no com
mendation, the institution is
worthy of such.
The officers and directors of
the bank arc local mer, of un
questioned integrity and proven
business ability as can be seen
from the splendid showing of
the bank’s statement,
The Bank of Clayton has over
one-third of a million dollars as
sets, counted in dollars and cents,
and enjoys the utmost confi
dence of its patrons, which is
one of its most treasured assets.
Mr- T. A. Duckett, cashier,
has been with the bank ever
since its organization, more than
twenty years ago, and is consid
ered one of the safest and sanest
financiers in North Georgia. We
are told that during all these
years there has never been the
slightest intimation that Mr.
Duckett was not the best man to
be had for the responsible posi
tion which he holds. Mr. Duck
ett is not. only, a bankerjn pre
cept and example but is a suc
cessful farmer and operates a
model farm, to which he gives
his personal attention. He also
claims to be a fisherman but up
to this time has not gained any
enviable reputation as such.
Mr. Guy Green ha3 been with
the bank some ten years, as
assistant cashier, and is one of
the model young men of this
community, who was born and
reared in the environments of
the community. He is one of
the four brothers of the Green

duly sworn, says that the above foregoing statement is a true condition of
said Bank, as shown by the books of file in said Bank. 1

boys, all of whom are serving
the public in some useful and
efficient manner. Mr. Green
still retains his bachelorhood and
resides with his mother, and
judging from the care and kind
ness bestowed upon his mother,
he would make some lady a
mighty good husband.
The newest of the employees
is Miss Drewi'la Bleckly, who as
lecorid assistant cashier is render
ing to-the bank and its patrons
an excellent service. As an evi
dence of the esteem in which
Miss Drewilla is held by those*
who know her best she was
importuned to enter the race for
representative, to fill the unex
pired term of her father, the
Honorable Jus. E. Bleckley, but
declined the opportunity, rather
preferring to retain her position
with the bank.
• Tlve directiors of the bank are
Dr, J. C. Dover, President;
Judge W. S. Long, Vice-Pres.;
T. A. Duckett, Cashier and
Messers J. H. Derrick and Chas.
E. Cannon.
This bank has never failed to
pay a dividend of eight .percent
or more and has paid as high as
twelve percent on the capitol
stock.
All the directors of the insti
tution are men of business ac-
cumen and are among the lead
ing and most, progressive men of
the community, and men who
have made a success of their
own business and with such
men guarding and directing the
affairs of the finances of the
community, there is everv reason
to believe’that the bank will con
tinue to be ore cf the best coun
try banks in Georgia.
