Christmas day nineteen twenty-one
dawned dark and forbidding at Porter
dale. The quiet little city on hills in
the valley of Yellow river was indeed
marvelously quiet. The true Christmas
spirit was in the hearts of many of
our people and the hearts of the little
ones were made so happy at many
homes by the coming of Santa Claus.
Many beautiful little Christmas trees
were to be found in the homes, while
our big £$anta Claus had visited the
children at the auditorium eariler. On¬
ly a few of the old time celebrators got
“a wee drop too much” of the “corn
juice” and there were no disturbances
of consequences to mar the day.
Towards nine o'clock through little
i ifts in the clouds the welcome sun¬
shine came to add its brightness to the
occasion, and as the faithful few of
Liberty Sunday school sought that sao
red hill the day became pleasant, and
Supt. Adville Atkins' heart filled with
Boy as he watched them come in
! roups, telling, with happy hearts, of
the pleasant surprises that Christmas
had brought them.
The little church, always beautiful,
presented a strikingly beautiful ap¬
pearance for the good ladies had been
there and with deft hands had festoon¬
ed, with streamers and evergreen, the
interior and transformed it into fairy
[and.
Shortly after ten o’clock the inter¬
mediate and smaller classes marched
in, under the direction of Mrs. Cohen
Piper, and sang “Merry, Merry Christ¬
mas Time," which was followed by an
address of welcome by Master Elmer
Collum.
This -was followed by a song, “Joy
to the World” by the school and an
earnest prayer led by Secretary W. D.
Collum.

Then the regular lesson period was
t ailed and all went to their classes for
brief resume of the lesson and to re
reive assignments for the new year's
study.
Resolutions were made to make our
Sunday school the very best in
land^in nineteen twenty-two and to
keep it that way by all those whose
interest never flags.
One of the most touching incidents
of the day was when little Miss Mo
Piper in behalf of her class, pre
Rented Supt. Adville Atkins with a nice
ittle Testament and a box of station
ery as a token of their appreciation
of his efforts in building up and
up Liberty Sunday school. Then
Supt. Atkins, with a few remarks,
and an expression of his appreciation
of the love and esteem in which he is
dismissed the audience, and the
last ®®ssi°n of Liberty Sunday school
i n this year was closed.

ALei an excellent Christmas dinner
many of our faithful Liberty singers
gathered at the church for an after
n< n <>! informal praise, through
song, to Him who came to rob death of
its sting to I hose who wonld£ believe
and accept His sacrifice. Bros. W. H.
Lamb, Alex Day, John Scott, George
Day, \Y. H. Piper and a goodly num¬
ber of others were there, as was our
good friend, Jesse Lamb, of Atlanta,
who cannot keep away from Liberty
when he visits his old home. Like his
father, Mr. W. H. Lamb, he loves Lib¬
erty church and her people, and we
don't blame him one bit, in fact Ave
don't see how any one could help it.
Two or more hours were spent in sing
in gthe good songs of Zion and alto¬
gether a good time was had.
Secretary Atkins said that on Sun¬
day, January first, nineteen twenty
two we would have the biggest and
best meeting of our history and asked
every one to come out and bring some
one else, and with another song we
wended our way homeward happy over
a well spent day in the Master's ser¬
vice.
At seven o’clock a fair sized audi¬
ence greeted Rev. Mr. Allen, our
Presbyterian pastor and heard a good
sermon to the Boy Scouts, which
seemed to us fitted most everybody.

SELLING CORN THROUGH
MEDIUM OF PORK AND BEEF
Atlanta, Ga„ December 28—Corn
growers in Georgia and throughout the
South according to farm experts here,
have found an indirect market for their
crop, and instead of getting as low as
35 cents a bushel for their crop, they
are promised a dollar a bushel and
even more.
Selling corn through the medium of
pork and beef provides this indirect,
though highly profitable, market for
the growers.
Farmers in the west, where large
crops of corn are grown, experts here
state, largely dispose of their crop m
fattening cattle for the market, thus
realizing on the corn several times
much as would be received in direct
as
sales. Southern growers who have fol
]owetl the western plan, have trebled
the price of their com and at the same
time netted large profits on their cat
tie. .

THE COVINGTON NEWS, COVINGlVn, vz^uRGIA
—
, that by marketing his corn via the
j hog route, he has received more than
I j Sl a bushel for it, against 40 cents,
the price being paid for it on the
j Moultrie market.
A few weeks ago he turned a bunch
G f hogs into a corn field that he esti
mated would yield 700 bushels, cer¬
tainly no more than that, it is stated.
At that time the hogs weighed 2,200
pounds, receiving for them 0137.50.
Afterward he found that those left in
the field Weighed 20,000 pounds, repre¬
senting a gain of 5,000 pounds. This’
5,000 pound gain in weight, at 6 1-1
cents a pound, the price of hard hogs
on the Moultrie market, would repre¬
sent $312.50.
Mr. Coleman estimates that not more
than half of the 700 bushels of corn
in the field has been eaten, and by the
method of marketing it he has adopt¬
ed, ho has received $450 for the 350
bushels consumed. The hogs will be
kept in the field until the corn is con¬
sumed. Mr. Coleman says the results
of the test so far lead him to believe
that he will certainly get more than
$1 a bushel net for the corn.
Attention here today is called to the
fact by agricultural leaders that the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
Railway, which runs through the rich¬
est farming section in Georgia, has
taken an active part in the promotion
of packing houses in Georgia and the
increase in the production of hogs and
cattle. Packing 1100808 are located at
Moultrie, Atlanta, Macon, Tifton,
Waycross, Statesboro, and Savannah,
Ga., and at Jacksonville, Fla. These
packing houses, have never received a
sufficient volume of hogs and cattle to
make them profitable, but it is hoped
• t y tat (j lt , continued promotion of th ■
. ) W ef cattle industry in Georgia will
eventually show better results.
