HEARS DR. SCREWS
PRIMITIVE MEETING GROWING
STEADLY IN INTEREST AND
ATTENDENCE
The congregation last night was
the largest of any previous service
and they were well intertained. the
preacher tock for his text the follow
ing scripture ‘“The hour is coming
and now is, when the dead c<hall hear
the voice of te Son of God, and
they that hear shall live”. His argu
ments were clear and forceful, and
his logic was unanswerable. Many
hearts were made g.al, and many
souls wer;-) comforted and iustructed
mcre perfectly in th: way of right-i
eousness, as the go~ve! came to us,%
“not in word only, but in power and
demonstration of the spirit”. }
The meeting has steadly grown in‘
interest and in attendance, and
much good is being done for the
cause of truth.
Services will be held tomorrow at
11:30 A. M. and 8:30 P. M.
Come and get your share. It is
charged up to vou, and if you (I(mt‘
get it you are just out that much.
All are invited and welcome.
of agriculture will be aboard and will
be prepared to furnish stumping argu
ment for every community. The pul
ling devices aboard will represent
\every know method and they will be
set to work at each stop in order
that farmers may know first hand
what method is the most effective
and the most economical.
Mr. Williamson and those who have
assisted in making the stumping
campaign possible feel that it will do
Georgia farms more good than any
thing that has occurred in the stump
ng world in more than a century He
is delighted with the prospect of the
early start and is making ready for
the occasion with great zeal and in
terest.
It is feared that other st.ump pulling
‘equippment from a distance may not
reach Cordele in time to go with the
train, but should that occur, a delay
is all that will be necessary till all
operators of stumping devices are
ready to go.
Georgia farmers are going after the
stumps following this campaign. This
is the general impression following
a survey of conditions as they pro
mise development in the wake of the
stumping special.
