Years to 1923 there was an annual ap proprration for free seeds for Con pressional distribution through the Department of Agriculture. But in 1923 the Government decided to dis continue the distribution of this great quantity of seed since it was only commercial garden seed such as could be bought from any goon seed house and did not necessarily represent varieties better than those lrl common use. Not only does the Department of Agriculture have nc free seed, it has no seeds or plants (or sale either. G. I.

OBSERVATIONS From the Pastorium REV. C. C. BUCRAI.EW (Continued from Page Eight) Pastor. Rev. Walton Stewart will preach. The people of the Methodist church have been all that anyone could ask them to be as good church neigh bors and friends in time of need. They have rendered us the use of their building; the pastor has divid ed his night services with us; and has offered us a warm welcome at all times. We are hearing rumors that they might begin repair work on their building before many weeks In this undertaking we wish for them the finest success possible, and shall stand by with our facilities and services to help in any manner possible. Here and now we want to thank these people who took part in the play presented at the school house last Friday night. It was under the auspices of the L. L. L. Class ana directed by Mrs. Fred Davis, Mrs. Jno. Warren and other members of the class who were so ably assisted by Mrs Galley Summers. A capacity house saw and enjoyed the presen tation, and the receipts netted S175 50 to the building fund. Much of the financial success of the play was due to the fine response of the business men of Conyers and Covington who responded so readily with ads. Services next Sunday will be held in the school auditorium with Bible School opening at 10.30 followed bv preaching by the pastor at 11:30.
