PORTERDALE NEWS
Uub given by the Women’s
of Porterdale on Friday evening,
November 26, at the Community build¬
ing, proved to be the most brilliant af
tair in the history of the town. Music,
elocution and oratory filled the air and
our people who were fortunate enough
to be present were delighted beyond
description. Mrs. W. H. Lamb is presi¬
dent and ably and gracefully fills her
place, while Mrs. W. C. Ivy‘is its effi¬
cient secretary. AA r e are proud of their
work for good in our town, and pledge
the aid of every man here in assisting
them m their future efforts.
Liberty church, the little white
church on the hill just south of Por¬
terdale, will be the mecca of all true
lovers of music next Sunday, Decem¬
ber 4th. AVe are going to have the very
best meeting in our history unless our
plans fail, and already several noted
singers are getting in line for their
debut.
Let every interested person come out
and join us in .this great work of plac¬
ing good singers in every church in
our county thereby adding to the at¬
tractiveness of the services and indue
ing attendance of those who have for
gotten their God.
The ladies of the Degree of Poca
hantas are busy preparing a program
for their annual watch meeting on De¬
cember 31st, when they bid farewell to
the old, and welcome the new year.
Music, speeches and recitations will be
features of the evening, and a dainty
luncheon will be served. This will be a
great meeting.
Welaunee Tribe, Improved Order of
Red Men, is forging ahead slowly but
surely with applications for adoption
at every meeting. v They do a lot of
good in every community, and we are
proud to see the added interest that is
being shown.
Rev. J. J. Mize, the incoming pastor
of Porterdale charge, will preach at
Liberty church next Sunday, Decem¬
ber 4th. AA T e earnestly request the at¬
tendance of all who can get out, es¬
pecially our singers, so we can give
him a real reception that will make
him glad he was sent here, and while
we give him a good start let’s resolve
to keep him going good by going along
with him and helping him in his good
work. AVe can—will we?
There is plenty of work in Porter¬
dale for those who want a job, but po¬
sition seekers who want a good salary
for a few hours service such as they
want to render had just about as well
pass by, for you must work and sing
if you want to stay here and be happy.
Attention has been called to the fact
that "a stitch in time saves nine.” Bad
weather is coming and our good road
to Covington ought to be looked after
before it gets bad. A hint to the wiste,
etc.
Practically all the machinery, ligths
etc., have been installed in the addition
to Osprey Mill, and soon a full force
will have things humming day and
night, and Supt. Andrews will be so
busy he will forget that hunting sea¬
son is here.
Every body get the Christmas spirit
in you and the old hard times grouch
out, and let us have a real day of joy¬
ous praise for the greatest gift of all
—His only begotten Son, to make us
joint heirs with Him, to that eternal
mansion in the skies.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
AND ITS RESOURCES
The Southern Presbyterian church is
planning a census of its resources.
There will shortly be sent to the vari¬
ous churches in this section a survey
card, which, if filled out, will give some
interesting facts in connection with
the membership and other data on the
church.
This card calls for the total member¬
ship of the church, the number of fam¬
ilies holding family worship in the
church, the number of candidates for
the ministry, the number of young
people attending church schools, the
number of families taking church pa¬
pers, the number of additions to the
church on profession of faith, and the
Sunday school enrollment. The nro
gressive church program adopted by ‘the
includes an increased attend¬
ance of 25 per cent on church services;
a Sunday school enrollment at least
equal to church membership; at least
one life in each church enlisted for
definite Christian work; a family altar
in every home; a church paper in
every home; the establishment of mis¬
sion Sunday schools and churches
wherever possible. The program also
calls for the organization of each
church on a four-fold plan of evangel¬
ism, stewardship, spiritual resources
and missionary education. As pointed
out, definite policies are thus fixed for
the church to work on.
It is shown on this card that the
goal for benevolences in the Southern
Presbyterian church this year is $4,-
500,000 and the total estimated gross
income of the members of the church
is $200,000,000. The church is at pres¬
ent stressing the tithing system; that
is, giving a tenth or more of one’s in¬
come to the church, and it is pointed
out that If every member of the
Southern Presbyterian church were a
tither, this would mean an annual In¬
come of $20,000,000. Last year the total
membership of this chut'ch was shown
to be over 397,000, an increase of
about 20,000 for the year. The total
amount given to benevolent causes
amounted to nearly $500,000,000, or
about $12.43 per capita. There were
over 13,000 members who reported that
they gave one tenth or more of their
income to the church.
MISS HEARD PASSES
AT THE OLD HOMESTEAD
Miss Susie Heard, member of the
highly esteemed Heard family, died at
the old homestead, south of Covington
Friday morning, November 25th.
Miss Heard had been ill only a few
days, and up to the time she was
stricken was very active. She was
eightey-three years of age.
Rev. R. L. Cook, of the Primitive
Baptist, Social Circle, and Rev. J.
McD. Radford, pastor of the Greens¬
marriage, boro aAJi-ihodist church, and nephew by
conducted the last rites.
The remains rest in the Heard family
cemetery.
The goodly company of relatives
and friends with the wealth of ex¬
quisite flowers attested the reverence
felt for this saintly woman.
Miss Heard is survived by one
brother, Wilkes Heard, with whom she
lived. Also many nieces, nephews and
relative*.

ALUMINUM THE MOST
ABUNDANT METAL
Aluminum is the most abundant me¬
tallic element. It is an essential constit¬
uent of nearly all rocks except sand¬
stones and limestones, according to the
United States Geological Survey, De¬
partment of the Interior. Though it is
more abundant than iron it has been
of no use until the last 25 years, for it
is locked up so tight with oxygen that
only the electric furnace can easily
separate the two elements and give us
the meatl for pots and pans and the
thousand other things that we now
make of it, including even the bodies
of some automobiles and certain
of some airplanes.
Millen—The Millen and Jenkins coun¬
ty Chamber of Commerce announces
through the secretary, AV. R. Crites
that Jenkins county will plant over one
million Bermuda onions this year. This
is a radical departure from the usual
agriculture production here.
Jenkins county is making rapid
strides towards a diversified agricul
ture. Markets are being developed to
such an extent that the farmer here
hope soon to be freed from the monopo
ly of cotton.
CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY
GIVE OYSTER SUPPER
The North Covington Co-Operative
Society treated themselves and their
friends to a big oyster feast Thursday
night. About- eighty people were pres¬

This organization has been in oper¬
ation 18 months and has accomplished
great good, maintaining a charitable
department at all times and promoting
a social commingling truly delightful.
GEORGIA NEWS.
Athens—The fact that several charg¬
es in the North G\orgia Methodist
conference reported that they had fail¬
ed to pay pastors the amount of salary
promised them for the year that has
just closed, caused no little comment
on the floor of the conference and has
also been commented on In general
since the close of the conference. This
condition cannot be said to be true on¬
ly of those Methodist charges. It is true
in other demoninations from time to
time and in times of financial stress is
always more or less true.
The church that looks after its min¬
ister’s salary in the proper way is the
church that is on the road to effective
service of humanity.
Hartwell—Unless something is done
in Hartwell there’s going to be a fine
crop of young drunkards within a year
or so. The other night we saw one
young man who goes to school as drunk
as a lord, and a few nights Jater we
saw another young man Just a little
older, who clerks in one of our stores,
all lit up. And any little boy, from
knee high on up, can be seen behind
the buildings and trees puffing away
on cigarettes and somebody sells the li¬
quor—both are just connom law
breakers, if we know how to read.
AVho’s guilty?
Dublin, Ga.—The male voters of
Brewton, ten miles from Dublin, were
given a severe jolt Saturday when of¬
ficial returns of the election showed
the election of a woman mayor and 5
women aldermen. Only 9 votes were
cast.
Mrs. W. H. Beall was elected mayor
over Dr. C. G. Moye.
A peculiar incident is that Mrs. C.
G. Moye was named as alderman when
her husband suffered defeat for mayor.
Brewton has a population of 250 peo¬
ple, has splendid reputation as a law
abiding community and has for several
months past been without services of
policeman. It is now rumored a wo¬
man will be named to police the town
and a woman for clerk.

AVaynesboro, Ga.—As a bulwark
against crop failure and to insure the
farmers of this section against bank¬
ruptcy and want, Burke county has in

This compares in size with any in
Georgia and is the only one in this sec-
tion of the state.
Te elevator and auxiliary plants

MOUNTAIN COTTON BLOOMING.
Hon. N. D. Arnold reached home from
a trip of several days to the northern
part of Georgia. He brought with him
quite a curiosity in two stalks of cotton
he pulled yesterday morning from a
field near the top of Currihee Mountain,
near Toccoa. The stalks are still green
to their tops and one of them has a
white bloom and on the other stalk Is
a red bloom. The stalks are heavily
fruited from bottom to top and Mr. Ar¬
nold says the field from which he got
the stalks will make a bale to the acre.
It is evident that boll weevils have not
invaded that section, or at least that
they had not found the field which
these stalks came. Mr. Arnold says they
are making fine crops of cotton through
that section and are just now right in
the midst of picking.—Elberton Star.

Covington, Ga.. Nov. 2.!, :9.:
Editor Covington News:—
The coming city elect'on in Covis
ton is of interest to every farmer a. I
every resident of Newton county.' V e
who live in the country may think l ■
cause we cannot vote in the city tli .
city affairs mean nothing to us. B . .
we are wrong, Covington is the ca; i
tal of the county and, therefore, be¬
longs to every one in the county. It
should be a matter of pride to us that
the city is well governed; that t ie
streets are clean and well paved and
that the finances are in good condition
—if these things are true. If they are
not true then it behooves us to use oar
influence in getting our city friends to
vote for the candidate who, we think,
will make Covington the best town for
country folks to go to for business or
pleasure.
The farmers are Interested In the
candidates who will assist in the co¬
operative movement to market crops;
they are interested in the candidates
who will use their best efforts in start¬
ing a board of trade or some organiza¬
tion which will back the farmer and
the city man at the same time; tht /
are interested in the candidates wl o
will, in time, have the square paved—
realizing that this one piece of wor e
will do more to bring business to Co.
ington than anything they might do.
In short the farmers are interested in
the candidates who will make Cov ing¬
ton a better town in which to live.

GAINS REPORTED
BY BUSINESS MAN
Resident of Salt Lake City Adds Ten
Pounds While Wife Gains 28
Pounds in Weight.
John J. Perry, .370 Quince St., well
known Salt Lake City, Utah, business
man, in reporting remarkable gains in
weight both of himself and his wife,
says:
‘My wife gained twenty-eight pounds
and I gained ten pounds in a few weeks
by taking Tanlac. The change in Mrs.
Perry is all the more remarkable, as
she had been going down hill steadily
for four or five years. She got no
nourishment from her food and don’t
believe she averaged three hours sleep
out of the twenty-four.
“While my condition was not as se¬
rious as hers, I had been under the
weather for some time, had no appe¬
tite and was bothered a good deal bv
indigestion. Tanlac has certainly prov¬
ed all and more than is claimed for it
with us.”
Tanlac is sold in Covington by City
Pharmacy and by all leading drug¬
gists.
