XLIX SUNDAY SCHOOL CON VENTIONS jN SESSION We are to have an unusual op portunity to hear great, outstand ing leaders in Sunday School work at the Regional Sunday School Convention. The conventions will be in session in the First Metho dist Church, Athens, on May 14, 15, 16, and in the Berry Schools at Rome, on May 16, 17, 18. The progrom is great. Special emphasis is to be laid on evangel ism in the Sunday Schools, the work of the small Sunday School, the Daily Vacation Bible School, the Adult Bible Class, and every department of the modern Sunday School. A great music leader will be on hand every session. The whole program will enlarge the vision, create enthusiasm, and make you glad for the rest of your days that you had a chance to be there. Our County is given a minimum quota of 15 delegates. If we have that number registered we will receive a handsome attendance banner. Parsonally, I should like to see two or more representatives from every Sunday School in the County, and would be happy if we could double our suggested quota. Why can’t an automobile load g» from every community? The expense attached to the trip will not be great. Sacrifice, if neces sary, to take in one of these great conventions. Yours trulv, J. J.

At the 11:00 o’clock hour the pastor of the church de livered a most enteresting sermon after which the hour of adjourn ment was announced for the din ner hour, and every body was in vited to pertake of the sumptiem dinner that had been prepared especially for this occasion. When it comes to fixing up a good din ner the good people of Brushy Knob and Shakcrag district know how to do the thine just right, and for good old time genuine hospi tality they just simply cannot be beat. In the afternoon standing room was at a premium, all of the available space in the building was filled to overflowing, and the beauty of the occasion was that the spirit of song was in the folks, and they sang right out of their heart and soul. One special fea ture was the lesson led by the twin brothers of Rockmact Ga., and also the torching duet of the ■song entitled “Mother,” by a gentleman and lady whose names we failed to learn. It was one of the most soul stirring and most enteresting song services that it was ever our privilege to attend, and was one of the best ail day singings that has ever been held in this county.

THE FORD WEEKLY PiCISE PUN “The Ford Weekly Purchase Plan is going to be a boon to many families and permit them to buy a car much quicker than they ever dreamed,” McDonough Motor Co., local Ford dealer said today in discussing the new Plan which is creating such widespread com ment and which is being enthusi astically received everywhere. “In my experience as a Ford dealer, and I believe It is true with every other dealer and salesman as well, I have met many persons who expressed their desire to own a Ford, and who frankly told me that somehow they never could get together enough money to make the initial payment on one. “The results was, of course, that Ihey went on wanting a car and hoping that some day something would turn up whereby they could get a car. “Now that’ something’ has turn ed up. The Ford Weekly Purchase Plan simplifies it all and makes it easier to come into the owner ship of a car. “It is constructive automobile buying in the simplest and eas ; est form and presents to countless families all over the country the long wished for opportunity of enjoying motor car benefits and pleasures. “Right here in our own ciLv it will be more than welcome. “Take the family where, say, the father is not the only wage earner, but where perhaps a son or a daughter or two are at work. The family never has enjoyed a car, yet every member times with out number has express a desire to own one. “Under the Ford Weekly Pur chasse Plan there is no reason at all why such a family should not soon own a Ford car. If each member contributes just a little of his or her earnings each week it will hardly seem any time at all before the whole family will be eejoying a car. “What is true of the family is true also of the individual who wants a car. “And one of the most appealing features of the Plan is that it is adaptable to the means of practi cally everyone. The weekly pay ments, which are deposited to the credit of the customer in the bank and draw idterest at the regular savings rate, may be fixed to suit the desires of each purchaser. What could be easier than that. PROGRAM OF METHODIST GHURGH A splendid program of readings and songs will be given at the Methodist church Friday evening, Mav 11th. Some of the very best talents in in McDonough, will take part in this program, which is as surance enough that a treat is in store for every one who will at tend. Everybody cordially invit ed.
