PRESBYTERIANS OR
GANIZE TWO CHURCHES
IN RABUN
r~ ■ ——-
WILEY AND- PERSIMMON
ARE CHOSEN
Rev. B. W. Baker, of Tiger,
who has been in this county for a
number of years in the interest
of the Presbyterian church and
who has already organized a
church at Tiger, some time ago,
has recently organized a church
at Wiley with fifteen members
and one at Persimmon with ten
members.
Rev. Baker was recently as
sisted in a series of revivals by
Rev. Robert King, D. D. who al
so assisted in the organization of
the two churches.
The church at Wiley was con
stituted with the following mem
bers; Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Burch
and daughter, Miss Mary Han
nah Burch; Mr, and Mrs. H. C.,
" Ramey and son, Harry Ramey;
*Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Shirley
and three daughters, Misses
May, Lizzie and Ethel Shirley;
Mrs. H. A. Hays; Mr. and Mrs.
•Charles Perteel and Mr. J. C
J inkin?.
The church at Persimmon was
constituted with the following
members; Mr. and Mrs. H. M.
Nichols; Mrs. J. F. Keener;
snerii^Srs-T. B.
ral McDowell;
Mies Minnie Forrester; Miss
Gussie Stubblefield; Mrs. Emma
Gray Gordon, and Mrs. Gaither
Coleman..
At each of the new churches
there are good prospects of other
members joining the churches at
an early date ami no donbt both
0 of them will prove to be a bleps-
ing to the communities in which
they are located. .
We acknowledge a generous
sample of new sorghum syrup,
from our neighbor, Mayor Jos
eph T. Davis. • A fine .crop" of
syrup will be made in this coun
ty, despite the extreme dry wea
ther of the summer which cut
the crop somewhat short.
J. A. SCRUGGS & SON | niLLARD SGHOOL NKWS
MAKES LIBERAL OFFER
TO FARMERS
Our efficient millers, Messers
J. A. Scruggs & Son are offering
s:>me inducements to the farm-
e/s of Ra,bun county to sow more
wheat next year.
It has been long known that
the south does not get the best
grades of flour but that the off
grades are shipped south.
Messers Scrugg are offering
to loan any Rabun county farm
er seed wheat which has been
re-cleaned and of the best grade
of wheat. The only condition is
that if the farmer makes a crop
he is to return the same grade
of seed wheat without interest.
They also offer to give a pre
mium of five dollars in gold for
the best bushel of wheat grown
in Rabun county in 1925. They
propose to get a government
standard tester with which to
test the wheat in order that the
test may be fair and impartial.
Of course, there is a reason
for the offer that Mr. Scruggs is
making. The reason is that he
has orders for more Rabun coun
ty grown flour than he can fill.
Other people who have tried out
the flour made here are anxious
to buy the entire output, of the
mill but not enough wheat is
grown in the county- to. supply
the demands, hence the ctffer.'
But then,’why not sow wheat?
It will pay as well as any other
crop and requires less work than
most crops that can be grown
and it insures the grower of the
best and most wholesome grade
of flour to be had.
If you are interested go to Mr.
Scruggs and talk the matter over
with him and get a bushel or
two of seed wheat.
\ Other than the offer mabe by
Mr. Scruggs, The Tribune is of
fering a years subgfcriptipn to the
Tribune and two dollars and a
half to the farmer making the
most wheat on one acre of land
in Rabun county, in 1925. The
only condition attached to this
offer is that the Farm Agent is
to see that the wheat is properly
weighed or measured.
The unfavorable weather of
the past week necessitated the
postponement of tht Convention
of Vocational Teach ers of Dis -
trict No. 1, which \yjs scheduled

METHODIST CHURCH NEWS
Rev. W, T. Hamby, - D. D., of
GainsviUe, Ga. preached a very
inspiring sermon on Sunday at
the morning service taking for
his subject the character of Paul
and using for a text the latter
half of the 12th verse of the 3rd
chapter of Phiilipians, Dr. Ham
by is noted for bis uniqueness
and originality in his preaching
arid no one can fail to find unus
ual interest ip his preaching.
This ends the term of four
years for the Presiding Elder
and some other man will likely
be assigned, to this position, by
the conference which will be
held Nov. 19th to 24th.
After the devotional service
the fourth quarterly conference
was held for the charge. Owing
to the inclement weather all the
eight churches on the charge
were not represented but reports
from all were received, and a
fine showing was made.
One of the interesting reports
from the churches was that of
the Clayton Sunday School. A
total of $125.00 has been spent
for literature during the year
and something above $100.00
was' raised for the Orphans
Home on that Sunday morning
The Mens Bible Class alone rais
ing $60.00
. The financial Showing on the
whole charge was good. Last
year the sum of $7100.00 was
raised on the charge for. all .pur
poses and iLnow appears that as
much if not more will be raised
this year, which is a healthy
showing for a small member
§hip.
