LIBERTY SINGING
A GREAT SUCCESS
The Newton County Singing
Convention met with Liberty
church on the second Sunday
evening and, as predicted last
week, it was the greatest sing¬
ing we have yet had. The church
was full and the convention
opened promptly at 2:30, fast
lime. The convention was opened
by singing “Praise God from
Whom all Blessings Flow,” with
prayer, led by Brother Canup.
and presided over by Vice-presi¬
dent, J. W. Henderson, with the
following program: Leaders, 15
minutes each—E. B. Edwards,
J. W. Henderson, T. A. Coalson,
Willie Gray. Professor Thomp¬
son, Mr. Birch. Prof. S. E. Coal
son, Mr. Kilgore, W. W. Wilson,
B. L. Kitchens, S. R. Vaughn,
and Jess Piper.
T he Jackson Orchestra, con¬
sisting of six instruments, and
played by R. C. Edwards, J. E.
Edwards, C. E. McMichael, E. R.
Harper, Virgil Johnson and Jack
Jinks, together with Miss Annie
Reid Harper, Miss Jesse Jones
and Mrs. J. E. Edwardds, or¬
ganists, all t- rom Jackson, added
much to the convention, and to
all of whom we aie under many
obligations for their assistance
Those boys know how to handle
their instruments and it is a
great treat to have them, as lots
of folks have never seen such
performance or heara such nr:
sic. Con e again when you can,
we need your help and we are al¬
ways glad to have you.
We were glad to have with us
Professor Thompson, of the Wal¬
ton County Singing Convention.
He extended to all a cordial in¬
vitation to their Annual Con¬
vention, which meets the third
Sunday in May, all day. Jess
Piper, B. L. Kitchens and C. J.
Norman were appointed as dele¬
gates to the above convention.
Our convention meets with
County Line on the fourth Sun¬
day evening, and we are expect
mg a great singing there, as it
will be close to the line of Butts
where so many good singers live,
and we are expecting them to
come over and help us.
There were so many applica¬
tions for the convention that it
was difficult to get the dates ar¬
ranged. I am glad to see that
the western part of the county is
taking so much interest in our
singings (they certainly know a
good thing when they meet it),
but we can’t give them all; we
must divide up with the eastern
part. Through the earnest ap¬
peal of Brother Jim Johnson, of
Starrsville, who :s an enthusias¬
tic singer and knows a? good
thing, I succeeded in carrying
the convention to Starrsville the
first Sunday evening in June.
This is necessary for the conven
tion: Where shall we meet for ar.
all-day song service in June?
While t.her has been a great
advancement in refinement and
culture within the last few years
and everybody is expected to act
i nd conduct themselves as gen¬
tlemen and ladies, I feel that J
would not do my duty did I not
mention the good order that pre¬
vailed last Sunday. Our
was in session for three and
half hours. The house was
packed, the yard full; a
of people stood during this en¬
tire time and sang. There
not not the least disorder or
turbance; even the babies did
<ry. This is undoubtedly a
community, and with this a
ion of other good communitie
with good folks made a
It’s Cheaper to Paint
THAN TO LET YOUR PROPERTY DECAY AND DEPRECIATE
IN VALUE.
You have not quit eating because the price of potatoes and
pork has doubled, nor have you wearing shoes and clothes. You
know that the cost of every commodity has materially increased.
Good pain has also be naffected by the upward trend of prices,
but the necessity of painting is greater than ever before.
Economic as w r ell as patriotic reasons prompt you to refrain
from building, as men and material are needed in the construction
~f ships and implements of war.
Therefore, the next best thing for you to do, is to repaint and
i efinish your property—inside and outside. The cost is small com¬
pared with the results obtained. Good paint prolongs the life of
your property, protects it against decay, incr ases the value and
f,dds to its appearance. No matter what you paint wants may be

gation that was commendable.
Isn’t it great to live among good
folks—folks that love God and
praise Him in song? Singing is
making folks better and biing
ing them closer to God every
day, and I hope to see the day
when everybody will one" the.’
mouths and shout praises unto
God in Gospel songs, when con¬
gregations will sing everywhere,
and not choirs.
There is constantly some one
coming to me and saying: “I
wish I had known of that girt¬

singings are published in The
News every week, and in order
to keep posted you should take
The News. The Editor is so
busy making it a good paper that
he forgets to come to our sing¬

BIG old singer himself. His
heart is in the work and some of
these days he is going to appear

mighty little when he gets up
before you.

“More Tread on the Road”
TTERE is the Ajax Road King—master mile
JLJ. maker of them all. The tire for endurance
and abuse on all roads in any weather. Made
doubly strong where the road strain comes. It has more
tread on the road — more rubber where it should be —
more grip to grip with—because of the special patented
feature—
V Ajax Shoulders of Strength
These rugged supporting shoulders of the tread mean
longer wear. They cushion against shocks. Shoulders of
Strength distribute road wear evenly. It cannot come in
