THE VIDALIA ADVANCE
N. C. NAPIER, Editor and Publisher.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1920
AN APPRECIATION.
In assuming charge of the Advance, the opportunity
cannot be passed by of giving an expression of appreci
bon on behalf of the readers of the paper and the citi
;ens of Vidalia. of the high ideals maintained by Mr. J.
W. McWhorter, the retiring editor, as well as the splen
did public setvi-.e rendered by him during his management
and ownership of the paper.
This service is well known to the leaders of the Ad
vance, but even one who comes as a stranger to this
city is soon made aware of the high regard and deep
affection the people of this community have for him,
both as an editor and citizen, and the praisewrthy serv
ice he has rendered his town and his community.
The people of Vidalia will be glad to know that there
is little probability of their losing him as a fellow citizen,
and that they shall continue to have the advantage of
his safe leadership and wise counsel in all civic affairs.
We shall strive very hard to maintain the high ideals
of our predecessor and to give our readers a wide-awake,
aggressive, newsy paper, and in every way within our
power shall endeavor to promote the progress and pros
perity of Vidalia and this rapidly-growing and fast-devel
oping section of our great State.
N. C. NAPIER.

has been the pastor at Jeffersonville

splendid .record behind him as a
pastor and church builder. He is an
eloquent preacher and great things
arc anticipated by the Baptists of this
city. Mr. Anderson and his family
ate receiving a cordial welcome by
the membership of the church and
all our citizens join in a hearty wel
come to Vidalia.
DR. “M. J. RATTRAY IS
MOVING OUT TO FARM.
Dr. M. J. Rattray is moving this
week to his farm about a mile and
a half out of the city. He has one
of the finest farms in Toombs coun
ty and he is getting it in splendid
shape. He has sown about 75 acres
in oats and they are looking fine.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
, The undetsigned has sold the Advance, with its en
tire printing plant, to Mr. N. C. Napier of LaFayctte, Ga.
Mr. Napier is an old newspaper man, as well as one of
the prominent citizens of Walker county and that sec
tion of the state. He is well equipped, both by ability
and experience, to enlarge and extend the business of the
paper and to make it a still gerater fotce for the upbuild
ing of Vidalia and this section. He comes to South Geor
gia to make it his home, and to identify himself with every
movement that makes for the progress of Vidalia, Toombs
county and this section of Georgia. I commend him to
the public as eminently worthy of their kindest consider
ation. He will become a valuable asset to the citizenry
of our city, and will be found supporting every movement
that makes for the improvement of this section. He
assumed charge of the paper and office on December Ist.
There i> always a feeling of sadness that comes to a
■ man when he cuts himself loose from a business with
i which he has been identified for many years and to
, which he has become attached. I came to Vidalia a little
over five years ago and became the owner of this paper.
The business has grown, even beyond my expectation,
during those years, and is now easily the best printing
, plant in this section. I feel deeply grateful to the public
for the splendid patronage that has been accorded me in
the past, and assure them that it has been a pleasure to
do business with such a people.
I have been in ill health twelve or fiften years and
ciose application to the business of the office has so told
upon my strength and vitality that it becomes necessary
that I retire from business of such an exacting nature, at
least until i regain my health. I do not intend to leave
Vidalia, at least for a while, and possibly r-.cver. I have
no plans for the future and am going to rest until next
spring and then decide about my future work. Vidalia j
is the most promising town in this section of Georgia
and no man need go elsewhere to find a better place. Na
ture has wonderfully endowed South-east Georgia with
agricultural and industrial possibilities, and Vidalia is
strategically siluated to command a major portion of the I
prosperity that is bound to come this way.
I have made hundreds of good friends since coming j
here and am loath to part from them. The above rea-j
sons incline rrc to remain a citizen of this growing city I
and 1 may do this, though, as I said above, I will make no J
decision until next spring.
With deep appreciation for your patronage and kind-j
ness in the past, and bespeaking for Mr. Napier your I
consideration and support, I am.
Yours gratefully,
j. w. McWhorter.
x •;
Turn to last week’s Advance and re-read the article j
on Ten Tests of a Town.” Then let us all resolve to I
make Vidalia qualify on every point.

He has also sown some wheat and
proposes to make his farm self sus
taining. He is just as busy now with
his farm work as he will be in the
spring of the year, and that is what
makes a success of farming. With
his energy and pluck, he is sure to
make a sp’etidid success of farming.
REV. W M. BLITCH
COMES TO VfDALIA
Rev. .M. Biitch, the new pastor
of the Methodist church in this city,
has moved into the parsonage this
week and begins his work as pastor
for the coming year. Mr. Bljtch
comes to Vidalia trom Eastman. He
and his excellent family are receiv
ing a most cordial welcome to our
city, and we trust that liis work
here will be fruitful and pleasant.

A STRONG ORGANIZATION.
The Senior B. Y. P. U. is one of
the strongest £nd •fastest growing
organizations of the Vidalia Baptist
church. Their meetings every Sun
day evening at 6:30 are full of in
spiration. They have very interest
ing programs. In addition to their
regular programs they have good mu
sic, consisting of solos, duets and
quartettes by members of the Union.
There is a great deal of good be
ing done by the young people in the
way of training themselves and oth
ers in the Lord’s work and the ad
vancement of his kingdom. Visitors
and new members are cordially in
vited to come. Your presence will
do us good and we are sure you will
enjoy the meetings. Our ideal is to
be like Jesus; out business to lead
others to Jesus.
