YOUR COUNTRY NEWSPAPER
Without its new|>aper the small
town American community would be
like a school without a teacher or a
church without a pastor. In the ag
gregate, the country newspaper de
termines the outcome of more elec
tions, exerts a greater influence for
constructive progress, is read longer
by more members of the family and
constitutes, with its millions of cir
culation and quadrupled millions of
readers, u better advertising medium
than any other group of newspapers
or periodical publications.
When properly conducted, it cul
tivates so intensely its home news
field that city dailies, farm journals
and general magazines circulating in
the same territory become only
secondary influences.
Through service to its community,
the country newspaper will not mere
ly survive; it will continue to flou
rish as the most representation, most
distinctive, most wholesome type of
journalism America has produced.—
John H. Casey.

which passes through Jefferson:
“Route 11, which begins at the Geor

Blairsville and Murphy and extends
to the Georgia-Florida lvne near Jas

of paving is being laid from Nash
ville via Lakeland on this route
which, when completed, will leave
only a small amount of hard-surfac
ing to be laid between Gainesville
and Jefferson, and between Winder
and Monroe. When these stretches
are paved, Route 11 will be hard
surfaced from the North Carolina to
the Florida line, through the heart
of Georgia.”
A REAL OPPORTUNITY
Once a year the Methodists of the
North Georgia Conference are given
a real opportunity to do something
worth while for a most deserving
cause.
Sunday, October 3rd, has been
set apurt by the Trustees of the
Methodist Children’s Home as the
day for receiving gifts and contri
butions to take care of the 110 chil
dren now at the Home, who owe
their laughter, smiles and opportuni
ties to you.
The goal for this year is set at
$20,000.00. And in doing some
thing for these children you are do
ing something for your Master and
yourself. “In as much as ye did it
unto one of the least of these, ye
did it unto Me.”
This funds is properly administer
ed by competent trustees and asso
ciates, who in turn, provide for the
education, medical attention, clothes,
food and shelter for the deserving
orphan boys and girls.
Visit the Home, and meet the
staff of workers. Know the children.
Bestow upon them your love and
blessing and see their responsive
hearts.
Do not forget work day. Lay one
full day’s wages on the altar for
these children who have no other
Home but this and no other parents
but the Church. Will we fail them
at this time?
Fred L. Glisson, Supt.

which contributes liberally each year

Jefferson Friday. Colonel Booth is
representative from Barrow county,
and has made a reputation in the
house for attention to duty and
ability in solving state problems.
This county has a deep interest in
his political welfare, because he was
born in this county, and his ances

is a son of Chief Justice and Mrs. R.
B. Russell, and those who know him
well say that he has a very bright
future in his chosen profession.

their members, and hope to reach a
large number of those who have
never united with any church.
