MR. TOM BAXTER
“And 1 appoint unto you a
ringdom. as my Father hath
appointed unto me.” — Luke
22:29.
Mr. Tom Baxter, a friend lo
all at Covington Mill and a
great church worker, has been
called beyond this troubled
world, where the latter days
and nights of this earthly life
were spent in suffering: a
lingering sickness which gave
his many friends and loved
ones the chance lo visit him
and talk with him before the
departure.
“Uncle Tom,” as he was
called by many who knew him
so well, left a comfortable
feeling In the hearts of his
loved ones when he simply
said, “I am ready to go.” He
will long be remembered ln
the hearts of all who really
knew him.

So E. W .Horton, of Newnan, did

six tables—Mr. Horton thought it
a real’ deal. They swapped. A day
later two men same to Mr. Hor

took ’em. Now Mr. Horton wants
to see the man with the honest

across something new, different,
unique. Ariel, handwriting an
alyst or graphologist, may be de
scribed in such terms.
Sceptics may scoff, says Ariel,

the ability to analyze a person’s
and thereby point out mannerisms
or traits which may be keeping
that person from being as success
ful or happy as he is capable of
being.
Many people have been impres
sed by Ariel’s seemingly uncanny
ability, One testimonal from a
man in an executive position sta
ted that he had been a sceptic but
was now “very much impressed
by your analysis.” A photostatic
copy of this man’s letter is on
display in the office of the News.
