Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Julian
Ross will learn with more than pass
ing pleasure that in Fort Lauderdale,
Fla., they have splendidly established
themselves in the grace of the people.
Mr. Ross, who is a director in the
Kiwanis Club and commander of the

honored with the position as head of
the Broward County Bar Association

forty members present. There are
44 lawyers in Broward county, and
above all the rest, friend Ross was
winner for the presidency. A native

fine parentage. His father, Bob

the editor of The News ever had.

Tornado Hit* Bank* County
A tornado passed four miles above
town last Friday about noon. For
tunately it remained above ground
roost of the time it was passing. It
was watched by many people, who

with a tail hanging towards the
ground. It would rise and fall, and
where it did hit the earth it wiped
everything in its path. It blew Mr.
Sob Allen’s barn away, and killed
chickens and a hog. Most all

Mr*. Beth Bennett Dye
The Baptist Church of Jefferson
has sustained a great loss in the
home going of Mrs. Elizabeth Ben-'
nett Dye. She was the daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Bennett. Miss
Beth, as she was affectionately
known, early in life gave her heart
and life to God and the church for
service, and, while she was only
twenty-nine years old when she was
called home, her pastor and all
those who knew her life and works
feel that the Master must have said
to her, “Well done, thou good and
faithful servant; thou hast been
faithful over a few things, I will
make you ruler over many; enter
thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
She has served as pianist for the
church and also teacher in the Junior
Department of the Sunday School
for many years. She was faithful
and efficient in all that she under
took to do. The church and com
munity has lost one of its best and
most willing workers.—A Friend.
The Johnsons In South Carolina
A report from another state reads:
“The church at North, South Caro
lina, enjoyed a gracious season of
spiritual refreshing during the week
of April 24-30. Rev. Allison J.
Johnson, pastor of the Nor cross, Du
luth and Suwanee Churches, Geor
gia, was the visiting preacher. His
son, the Rev. J. Glover Johnson, is
pastor at North, and it was a rare
privilege and great pleasure for the
son to have his gifted father with
him and his church. Mrs. A. J.
Johnson accompanied her husband to
South Carolina. Several were add
ed to the church, and the entire com
munity was drawn closer to Christ
through the power of the preached
Word.”

The T. F. Railroad Hearing
A delegation numbering almost
two hundred citizens from the towns
along the T. F. Railroad attended the
hearing in Atlanta last Wednesday.
The receiver submitted his argument
that the road should be abandoned,
and was supported by representatives
of the Southern railroad. The local
citizens presented facts and figures
to show that there was no immediate
necessity for the abandoning of the
road. The hearing was before the
Georgia Public Service Commission,
and they will transmit the evidence
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for a decision from that
body. It may be several weeks or
months before a decision is reached,
and in the mean time the road will
continue to operate as before.

to the club by Miss Sarah Whitaker,
Jackson’s Home Economic Agent.

GEORGIA’S PRODUCTS
SLIGHTED FOR OTHERS,
ROY LcCRAW REPORTS
After an extensive study of the
products of the wholesale and retail
merchants of Atlanta, Roy LeCraw,
president of the Forward Georgia,
me., announces that only a very
small percentage of the Georgia pro
ducts can be found among tho can
ned foods on sale here.
"Out of a total of fifty products
called for we found that the supply
of eighteen of these is 100 per cent
imported and many products such as
peaches, tobacco, apples and other
commodities which are grown in the
state showed a very high import per
centage,” Mr. LeCraw said.
Georgia, the home of the peach,
imports 95 per cent of her canned
peaches and 95 per cent of the peach
preserves used by local people, the
survey showed.
In commenting on the situation,
Mr. LeCraw said that he believed the
situation could be helped if there
were more co-operative marketing
enterprises in the state.
“A wonderful opportunity is pres
ented to the county agents to in
struct and assist the food producers
of Georgia in organizing to market
their products,” Mr. LeCraw con
tinued.
The “Forward Georgia” Farmers’
Exchange now being operated at 92
Poplar Street in the rear of the post
office will be glad to aid Georgia
farmers in marketing their products,
Mrs. R. M. Barnes, manager of the
market, said.
