Pin Point Sermons
. t
(By Rev. J. O. Burnette)
When a man dies, all at;ree that
he should be buried; but when a
church dies, it often refuses to be
resurrected or buried.
¥ * *
A man can endure a great deal in
a sermon, as long as he thinks it is
hitting the other fellow.
* • *
Some congregations would be
more greatly moved if they suw in
their preacher more perspiration and
less asperation.
* * *
You cannot, make sin decent fcy
taking it into the meeting house,
any more than you can make a
skunk smell like a rose by taking it
into a garden.
■ * *
It’s no sin to be a salesman, just
so you don’t sell your soul.
V ♦ #
To laugh at a vile jest, is giving it
your hearty endorsement.
* * *
The devil never asks any one to
go all the way home with him, but,
just go a little further.
* * *
Some preachers puff like a loco
motive engine, but they don’t pull
like one.
• * *
Some folks test a sermon by its
noise and length, but the question is
from whence did it come, and to
where did it go?
* * *
This world is not God’s Heaven,
but it is just one step away.
* * *
No matter where you were last
Sunday at preaching hour, God was
watching you.
* * *
Some people put their chips on
their shoulder, instead of under
their boiler.
♦ * *
A right proportion of water and
fire will generate steam, but some
sermons we hear have no steam in
them—more water than fire.
* * *
It is when a man gets as tight as
a drum that he makes the most
noise.

“ITS OS -,AY, BOSS:"
(From Albany Herald)
lie was a NVgro farmer, who
rents a little place for which he
agreed to pay two bales of cotton
for this crop year. He had come to
town in his wagon to make a few
modest purchases, and was ready to
start for home. Asked how he would
come out on his year’s farm oper
ations, he replied:
‘‘lt’s dis way, boss. 1 rented a
little piece o’ land wid a two-room '
house an’ n little barn on it, an’ I
reckon I’m gwine come out pretty
well, thank de Lawd. I owns my
mule and wagon, and I promised to
pay de man I rents from two bales
o’ cotton. I made three bales, an*
dat leaves me ore to sell.
“I made a nice crap o’ peanuts,
but I don’t want to sell ’em at dese
present prices lessen I haf’ to. I’m
gwine let my hogs gather part o’ de
crap—yeasir, 1 got hogs. I’ll make
meat enough to run me right on
through nex’ summer. I got plenty
o’ corn an’ fodder for- my mule,
plenty o’ sweet potatoes, an’ I’m
gwine make my own syrup. Dry’s
some pecan trees on de place, an’ de
white man tol’ me I could have de
nuts. Dry’s all seedlin’s. I hopes
to sell a few hund’ed poun’s, an’
keep enough for me an’ the ol’ wo
man an’ de two chillun.
“Course meat and bread an’
sweet potatoes an’ syrup an’ pecans
ain’t no king’s rations, but dey mean
we ain’t gwine go hungry in de win
ter. We saved some dried peas an’
butter beans, I got a good collard
patch, an’ I ’spect to sell de yuther
bale o’ cotton long ’bout Chris’mus
time. I sho’ worked hard, an’ so
did de ole woman an’ my oldes’ hoy.
I don’t see much money cornin’ in
—maybe enough for some shoes an’
a little sugar an’ coffee an’ ter
backer, but—well, boss, I reckon I
ain’t got no right to complain.”
Which prove that diversification
works out pretty well, even in years
when the price of farm produce is
greatly depressed, and we have an
idea that most persons will agree
with the Negro farmer that he has
“come out pretty well.”
A PERFECT DAY
(By Grenville Kleiser)
Do hurry, my dear, we must not be
late,
The bargain sale starts precisely at
eight.
Don’t stop for a thing, because, rain
or shine, ,
We must see the dentist at quarter
to nine.
A full day ahead—let us make haste,
You know there isn’t a moment to
waste.
I must not forget the modiste at ten.
From there to the bookstall, let me
see, then
Oh, yes, at eleven we go to the club,
After that the masseuse for a vig
orous rub.
Luncheon we’ll plan to have about
one—
Ten minutes will do to keep on the
run.
Again to the shops to search for an
tiques,
I’ve not bought a thing for over two
weeks.
Don’t let us forget that bridge i- at
four;
You seem to enjoy it, to me it’s a
bore.
We promised to call on the High
brows at five,- -
From there we will go for a forty
mile drive.
At rix we can take a brisk walk n
the park,
Then hurry back home before it :s
dark,
Dinner at seven —we must not be
late—
The opera begins at a quarter past
eight.
Midnight for supper, and, if we’re not
dead,
By two, 1 think, we should all be in
bed.
My dear, you look tired, but surely
you’ll say
That this is. the end of a perfect day.

when the crop war a little vor 17,-
000,000 bales. No United States
crop has reached fifteen million bales
since those two years.
The southeastern states have re
duced acreage within the last twelve
years while the states along the Mis
sissippi .River have all increased
cotton acreage.
Georgia has reduced cotton acre
age more than any other state during
the last twelve years.
India planted nearly 23 million
acres to cotton in 1931 making n
bout four million bales.
The United States plants about
half of the world’s cotton acreage
and produces about 57 per cent.of
the world’s crop.
There are more than fifty foreign
countries thnt grow cotton. Only
Egypt, Asiatic Russia, Indin and
China produce as much ns a million
bales a year. Egypt’s production is
hound four million bales a year while
China’s production i- almost two
million bales a year.
India has not increased her cotton
acreage materially in the last fifteen
years. Russia has increased her acre
age to more than double the acreage
of fifteen years ago.
In 1921 the cotton production in
the United States was 7,954,000
bales. These years showed the
smallest production since 1903.
In 1930 the world production of
cotton was 26,673,000 bales. The
greatest world production of cotton
was in 1927 when more than 27
million bales were produced. In
1922 the world production was a lit
tle over 15 million bales.
In 1930 foreign countries con

cotton and 11,622,000 bales of other
cotton.
In 1930 the United States import
ed 413,000 hales of cotton and ex
ported 7,097,000 bales.
WATERS OF TWO LAKES
VANISH NEAR VALDOSTA
Valdosta, Ga. —Following the lead
of Lake Octahatchee, which began to
empty Thursday night, 1 ly Pond, al- (
so known as Sunset Lake, is also
rapidly disappearing into an under
ground passage.
Fly Pond, the normal dimensions
of which are something over 75
acres, is located on what is general
ly known as the “West Plantation,
southwest of Valdosta, near the
Georgia and Florida state line.
Late reports from Octahatchee
are to the effect that two sections
of the lake are becoming dry, the
water pouring out in such tremend
ous volume that it will be practically
dry in a short time, and Fly Pond
will be a close second.
TWO PAIRS OF PANTS
Albert Wiggam says a depression
usually lasts through the life of
“two pairs of pants.”
What he did not say, however, was
this: If we will get up out of our
easy chairs, take the tug off the
trousers and put the wear on sole
leather, instead —the depression will
be shorter and the pants will last
longer!

THE BEAUTIES OF AUTUMN
(By David Presley)
I was strolling through the wooas
one autumn day,
Looking at the fallen leaves eo
bright and gay;
As 1 looked from tree to tree,
Various colors I could roc,
And around me on the g/ound . onie
lay.
As I looked upon those lovely colors
bright,
In the gentle breeze it made a 1 >vcJj
sight;
Gold and red, brown and green,
On the tre'e3 there could be seen;
Yes, to me, it was a scene of great
delight.
As I look upon the lovely leaves that
fall,
I could see the blessed Savior in it
all,
For I know that God alone
Such creature works has done,
That we trust in Christ the Lord all
nature calls.
Tho these lovely leaves so quickly
pass away,
And through the long winter on the
ground decay,
Still they point to that sweet
home,
Where with Jesus we shall roam,
There in Heavenly beauty ever
more to stay.

Hatches 35 Chicks, Sets Again
Waycross, Ga.—An initial invest

The old turkey hen has laid sixty
five eggs this year, has sot five times,
hatched thirty-three young ones and
is now setting on a batch of thirteen
eggs-
Mrs. Johnson has raised a farm
yard full of turkeys, the first litter
of eight now being as big as the

Mrs. Johnson points out that she
would have raised more turkeys from
the settings of the old turkey hen,
