NEWTON COUNTY SOIL
BANK PAYMENTS $9058.53
Payments to Newton County
farmers taking part in the 1956
Acreage Reserve program of the
Soil Bank totaled $8,067.03 up
to October 13, according to A. E.
Hays, Chairman, Newton County
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Committee. Total
payments to Newtén County
farmers will be $9,058.53 under
the 1956 Acreage Reserve pro
gram.
As of September 28, payments
to farmers in 39 States reporting
totaled slightly over $lB million.
The maximum national pay
ment U. S. farmers could earn
by remaining in compliance with
the 1956 Acreage Reserve pro
gram was estimated at nearly
$251 million. However, Chairman
Hays explains, the U. 8. Depart
ment of Agriculture has author
ized the termination or modifi
cation of 1956 Aecreage Reserve
agreements by farmers who mis
understood the terms of the pro
gram. As a result the total
amount to be disbursed under
the program is expected to be
less than the figure given.
Revival Servic
Revival services will held at
The Church of God beginning No
vember 18th and continuing for
ten days.
Hugh Bryant, of the Hemphill
Avenue Church of God, of At
lanta, will conduct the services,
assisted by the pastor Rev, Hugh
McDaniel.
The public is cordially ingited
to attend the services and a
hearty welcome will be extended
to all who come.

EXTENSIVE STYLING CHANGES from front to rear give
the 1957 Dodge the distinction of having more outstanding
improvements than any new model in the company’s his
tory. In the Custom Royal four-door Lancer hardtop shown
nbove, the striking rear fenders accent the styling theme
for the 1957 Swept-wing Dodge. Duo-level front bumpers
afford complete protection and also serve as a grille. Over
all height of the Dodge Lancer hardtop has been reduced as
much as five inches. Glass area of the new hardtop mode!

RURALITE
REPORTER
MRS. JAMES P. KNIGHT
Phone 2766
One day each week your Rural
ite Reporter roves around Rock
dale, meeting new friends and
finding out what goes on in our
neighboring county. Last Wed.
nesday I had such a nice visit
with Mrs. J. R. Young, of Smyr
na, and she told me quite a bit
of news about that busy com
munity. Mrs. Young's spend-the
day guests on Monday were Mr.
and Mrs. G. L. Housworth and
daughter, Beverly, of Atlanta.
Mr. W. E. O'Neal is ill at Geor
gla Baptist Hospitak and all his
Smyrna friends are hoping his
stay there will be short,
Mrs. W. H. Robertson came
home Tuesday from Rockdale
Hospital, and is doing nicely.
Mr. W. D. Taylor will spend this
week in Lexington, Kentucky, on
‘business, and your Reporter sure
ly envies him that trin. Wish
jwith all my heart 1 could rove
up that way, for there's nothing in
the world more breathtakingly
beautiful than Kentucky and In
diana in October, when the maple
trees begin to turn.
Conyers Preshyterian Church
held its Revival last week, and
Mr. J. E. McDaniel and his sister,
Miss Edna Earl, were looking
forward te attending Wednesday
night. Mr. McDaniel has the right
idea about Ruralite — he not only
bought a policy for each of them,
but assured me he meant to keep
renewing them annually as long
as they live!
One of the most pleasant hours
of the week was spent on the
high bluff at Snapping Shoals, at
the home of Mr. M. T. Lummus.
There was a swift little autumn
breeze blowing that morning, and
I thought how wonderfully cool
1t must be in the summertime.
Stopped by a few minutes at
Mr. Stoney Hays’ Store in Hays
ton, to ask directions, and enjoy
ed hearing Miss Myrtice tell a
bout the fine improvements that
have been made recently on the
Hayston Church.
Stopped in Hayston, too, to see
Mrs. James Dobbs, and was happy
to find her feeling better.
Coming back through Mans
field, I thoroughly enjoyed an
hour spent with good friends, Mr.
and Mrs. Runie Epps, and Mrs.
Willie Lunsford. Miss Willie had
just returned from a week’s visit
with Mrs. Thomas Miller, of At
lanta, and Miss Annie was leav
ing to spend this week in Atlanta
helping her daughter, Mrs. Ralph
Lockhart, to move into her lovely
new home on Tanglewood Drive.
Mr. Runie had many funny things
to tell about selling insurance in
the “old days"’, but he recognizad
