TOM KINNEY
(The Pirkout column is writ
ten this week by Pug McLeRoy,
friend of Tom Kinney).
BY PUG McLEROY
Basketball tournaments have
again tied Tom Kinney up on the
sport page and We are pinch hit
ting for him . . . Hope you readers
can bear with me until Tom can
again fill this space . . , What we
said the other week about Preston
German walking home from a
movie with a robin caught the
eye of Olin Miller, columnist for
the Atlanta Journal ... In his
column, “Quaint Tales from Geor
gia Quills” in the Journal Sunday:
“Walks Home With a Bird:
‘Preston German walked home
from the movie Monday night with
a Robin’—Pug McLeroy, pinch
hitting for Tom Kinney, in The
Covington News.”
“Does that mean spring is here,
or did the robin see his shadow
by moonlight (Say, has anybody
prior to this instance ever heard
of a man walking home from a
movie with a robin? Could it be
posisble that Preston went out for
a lark and ran into a robin in
stead. We’ve had our feet on the
desk for the past ten minutes
trying to figure out this strange
occurrence, and have got exactly
nowhere).”
The Piekout column is supposed
to be an up-to-date gossip con
tainer, but now we have, in the
absence of Tom, landed it smack
to-dab in the “Quaint Tales’’ so
ciety . . . Tom’s boss might not
like it and we would like to come
right back at Olin Miller, but see
ing that he keeps his feet on his
desk for ten minutes he must be
his own boss and there really isn’t
any way of getting back at the
man . . . But here’s a tip anyway,
Olin—Couldn’t there be a girl
named Robin-son.
How is James Hopkins coming
along with his romance now? . . .
Did that sprangy snake scare Bill
Bates very much? . . . Ditto for
Sleepy Payton! . . . Benny and
Florence Cheek returned from
Florida Saturday . . . They spent
a whole week in the warm climate
While they were away their
. . .
dog, “Red” was killed! ... Is R.
C Arnold’s cousin really coming
down here? . . . Hope so! . . . What
is wrong with the Jersey mail?
. . . What et up Bogum Anglin’s
plantation? . . . Junior Lott and
Johnson pitched a little moo! . . .
Where did P. D. Smith and his
Fordster crew go Sunday nite?
. . . John Brown can’t count but
nine now—he has a sore finger!
. .. Did that fellow cause any hard
feelings with Olin Rowe? ... Is
Snig getting Snootie now? . . .
Charlie Poteet should have, been
a newspaperman! ... Is Barber
Mann a Supreme Court judge?
. . . There is a certain boy with
a girl in a Social set who is being
surrounded by a Circle—all of
which has stirred everyone’s in
terest more than it has his! . . .
How does Charlie Kilgare like
that new shift? . . . Someone call
ed Ben Burt a tailor—he doesn’t
like that name unless you use
Robert in front of it, He, he . . .
Will the Umbrella Man get
through the show without getting
any ribs broke? . . . The “Don’t
Care Boys” were stuck-in-the
muds Sunday morning! . . .
Preacher Day got stuck for two
hours, too . . . Don’t Jay really
remember what he was doing the
“first” time? ... Did Nettie Kate
think someone was going to fight
at the Circus grounds? . . . There
really wasn’t a fish at Rainbow
Sunday afternoon . . .
SURPRISE PARTY
Walter Day was supposed to
bowl against a Georgia Power Co.
team last Tuesday night, but he
didn’t . . . And, he didn’t care—
because he was given a surprise
birthday party by his sisters, Ev§
lyn Day and Mrs. S. D. Williams
. . . It was a gala occasion with
fun for everybody . . . Twenty or
more of Walter’s friends came to
help him celebrate his birthday
. . . Here are a few notes that
were taken at the party, which
by the way, was one of the best
we’ve ever had here:
That—
Bledsoe is really fond of Sara
Kesler . . . Sara Harris and a
blonde boy can be quiet at times
. . . Evelyn can sit on a tack and
never know it . . . Preston Ger
man can tell the girls by their
figure quicker than the other
boys . . . Eloise Bates can step
through a coat hanger . . . John
Martin can flip a coin through a
hat . . . Some girls (no names,
please) can wiggle their knees . . .
Walter Day is a sissy (?) ... Sara
Kesler and T. W. Blair are the life
of a party . . . Bessie Claude and
Sarfa Smith are lots of fun . . .
Ann Sorrels and Annie Laura
Bates made cut shadows . . . This
younger set of boys are good
sports . . . Tom Kinney a
sense of humor . . . J. P.
can get the “end” piece of cake
every time . . . This is enough.

When the writer was a boy in the
country he had a good “possum
dog.’’ A good “possum dog” never
leaves a “possum trail” to chase
rabbits at night. The good “pos
sum dog’’ sticks to the trail until
he “trees” the possum. Many young
people make the mistake of leaving
the “possum trail” to chase rab
bits. Such young people never
“catch possums.” They never “go
places’’ in life. Across the “possum
trail” sometimes the rabbit of love
passes and instead of sticking to
the “possum trail" and waiting un
til the “possum" is caught and then
go back to chase the rabbit, they
leave the “possum trail,” chase the
rabbit of love, get married, settle
down to an ordinary life when they
could have gone on and accom
plished great things. Getting mar
ried and having a home is what
God wants for most people, but He
doesn’t want young people to settle
down untif He, Himself, gets ready
for them to do it. Many young peo
ple leave the “possum trail’’ because
the rabbit of ease crosses the trail
of the divine purpose for their
lives. Some leave the trail to chase
the rabbit of a temporary job. The
world is filled with “rabbit chasers"
who have failed because they did
not stay on the “possum trail.” Ev
ery human being who gets on the
“possum trail” of God’s purpose for
his life and stays on that trail until
the “possum” gets up the tree, will
be successful, The “rabbit chas
ers” on the “possum trails” of life
are always failures.
God has a will for every life. God
did not just create us and put us
in this world to flounder around.
When we were bor. God stood at
our cradle with a wonderful plan
for each of us. Most of us have
been stubborn. We have defied
God. We have crossed His purpose
for our lives. We have refused to
heed His command. We have stood
still when He said, “Forward
march!” We have turned back at
the swollen stream of difficulties.
We have refused to walk the thorny
way, but have chosen to go the
easy road.. Very few of us are all
we could have been. Tlte fact that
we are anything at all is due to the
power and grace of a sovereign God
who would not let us go when we
were stubborn and mean. Practical
ly ail of us are broken vessels in
the hands of the Potter. If God
had not been a kind and gracious
Potter, He would have thrown away
some of us completely. But He has
taken the broken vessels of our
lives and remade them, not into ves
sels of honor, but into just ordin
ary vessels. If we could hear the
voice of God He would be speaking
like this, “I wanted you to be some
thing wonderful. I had big plans
for you. I am sorry you would not
let me make you inti the kind of
vessel you could have been. I had
to go against your stubborn will.
You resisted me when I tried to
mold the clay, but I love you. I
have not thrown you away. As far
j as this world I is could concerned, for I When have
done the best you.
you get to heaven and look into the
face of my Son and become like
Him, you will then be wonderful,
but you could have been wonderful
even here in this world of sin.”
Christians are exhorted to be dil
igent in business, fervent in spirit,
erving the Lord. From my wide
experience in dealing with Christ
ian workers I have found that very
few of them live up to this divine

Scout News
By Johnie Dawkiim
The meeting of Troop 72 BSA was
opened at 7:30 o’clock with the
pledge of allegiance and repeating
the scout oath and the scout laws.
Then we had the roll call, giving our
good turns and paying our dues.
After this came the report from all
three patrols. They were said to
have been making good progress.
Each boy was given a rope about
six feet long. He was placed respon
sible for it at any troop meeting.
Then the boys were lined up in
double file. Each one was to put his
left hand in his pocket holding the
rope in liis right hand. Then he
was to feach across to his partner
who was doing the same as he. They
were to tie the square knot, tieing
the two ropes together.
After this was all over we boys
all went to our regular seats. At this
time we usually have a game, so we
decided to play "Steal the
a very popular game in the troop,
Two sides were chosen up out of
the troop, having eight to each side.
We played pretty good, only one
side won three straight games. Then
we chose up all over. At this second
bunch of games some of the boys
untied the knots in their legs or took
the lead out of their shoes and really
raked up the points.
After the games were all over we
went back to our meeting room. Mr.
Pratt war called on for a speach, as
he was representing the Kiwanis
Club at our meeting.
The subject of a dance or party
came up among the boys. We de
cided to have a dance Friday night
at the Scout hall.
Then the boys were served apples.
Um, um, good old juicy apples. The
meeting was then closed with the
Scout benediction.
So long until next week.
Boy Scout Troop 67 held its regu
lar meeting Wednesday night, Feb
ruaiy 22, 1939. All but 6 Scouts were
present Alter the meeting games
were p:ayed. Relay ra;ss were also
held.
injunction. The Christian leaders
who have moved the world for God
have always been men and women
who were diligent in business. There
is no “big job” in God’s business
for any worker who is careless about
his work or who neglects the details
of his job Men may have a cer
tain type personality that will “get
them by” temporarily, but failure
is ahead of young people who neg
lect writing letters that should be
written, who put off making calls
that should be made, who are too
lazy to build a program or who are
just generally negligent. The fun
damental principles of business are
the same, regardless of the field of
business in which we work, Men
who are faithful in little things are
sooner or later trusted in the man
agement of larger things. God
e“ turns a “big job” over to any
man who was not faithful to the
details of the “little job . I have
spent much of my time waiting for
people who were late for engage
ments or checking people who
inclined to neglect details. When
you consider that back of God s
commands He has put His own om
nipotence, you can readily see that
large percentage of all the Christ
ian workers in the world are less
than one hundred per cent efficient

They have spirit and snap. But no
horse ever conscientiously pulled the

Man has no divinity in his own

to do that," a young woman
one time. “Why not?” her girl
friend asked. “I am a Christian."
the young lady answered. There
are certain kinds of work a Christ
ian would just naturally refuse to
do because he Is a Christian. "I can
not take that job. I am against
that business. It is sinful.” a Christ

“God planted this for me. I am His

wood for the glory of God." A young
Christian at play can say, “This !s
God’s air I am breathing, and my j
body is the temple of the Holy
Ghost. I play this game for the

who are His children an ever-abid

Loan Rate for
Credit Ass’n
Is Reduced
Interest Rate Lowered to
Farmers by the
Association.
The interest rate to members of
the Madison Production Credit As
sociation was reduced one-half of
one per cent on all money advanced
beginning February 24, William N.
Downs, Secretary-Treasurer, an
nounced for the Board of Directors
of the Madison Production Credit
Association.
“This is made possible,” said Mr.
Downs, “by the continued ready
sale of Federal intermediate credit
bank debentures to the investing
j public bearing low rates of interest
and the favorable operating results
j of the Federal intermediate credit
banks and the production credit as
sociations during 1938 ” Mr. Downs
explained that the association dis
counts the farmers’ notes which It
takes with the Federal Intermediate
Credit Bank of Columbia.
“The new rate will be four and
one-half per cent per year and as
usual interest will be charged only
for the period which the members
actually have the money,” continued
Mr. Downs. “The reduction also is
effective in all the other production
credit associations throughout the
country.
“This is the lowest rate at which
production credit has been made
available and the lowest discount
rate made by the Federal inter
mediate credit banks. Based upon
j the present volume will of result business this [ ■
interest reduction in an
nual savings of approximately $800 -1
000 to the 256 000 members of the!
535 production credit associations in 1
the United States.”
The Madison Production Credit
Association, according to Mr. Downs
last year did a business totaling
$175,000.00. “These loans," he said .
“are made for agricultural purposes j
and repayments are made at the!
time when the member is best al^e;
to pay for the sale of crops or live- j
stock or other operations financed, j
Some loans are made on the budget
plan in which members get a com
mitment from the association to ad
vance to them sums covering certain
periods, thus enabling them to be
sure of sufficient funds to
them through their agricultural op
erations and yet not have to pay In
terest on the entire amount for the
whole season. The budget plan pro
vides for advancing part of the en
tire amount as needed.”
One-fourth of all families in the
j United States has 63 per cent of all
the children in the nation, accord
ing to the Bureau of Agricultural
; Economics.
