Another Widow’s
Crop Worked For
Her by Neighbors
You can’t beat Bartow
•county—her people are the
best under the shining sun—
and no one disputes that
statement.
Witness the recent plow
ing of a whole field of cotton,
as given in detail, and prov
en by a published picture, in
the case of Mrs. T. P. Wat
son, who lives west of Car
tersville.
And now comes another
story, equally as good, and
showing further evidence
that the people of Bartow
county will never let anyone
suffer—not if they hear
about it in time to prevent it.
Mrs. Angie Raines is a
widow living on a farm in the
Pine Log district. Mr. James
L. Johnson, who is farm man
ager for Mrs. Corra Harris,
learned last spring Mrs.
Raines would need some
help if sh e made a crop. He
promptly came to her rescue,
prepared the ground, and
planted the seed. Since then,
Master Bill Raines, who is
only 13 years old, has plowed
and cultivated the crop.
Last Saturday the whole
neighborhood turned out to
help with the work, and
among those noted were
Messrs. A. Y. Tilley, Amos
Edwards, Marion Pinson, Jim
Wright, A. A. Nally, Elbert
Thurman, Will Broom, Lint
Worley and others.
Asa result of this fine
neighborly spirit, Mrs. Raines
and her four boys and two
girls, all of them still young,
won’t have any need to wor
ry about “if winter comes.”
It’s great to be a Georgian.
It’s a “whole heap” great
er to be a Bartow countian.

Dixie Live
Stock Magazine
New Publication
Published by John Buford
Brock, and Printed at Plant
of Tribune Publishing Cos.
The Dixie Live Stock Magazine is
now being published in Bartow coun
ty. The new magazine is being pub
lished and edited by a Bartow county
boy, John Buford Brock, of Adairs
ville. It is printed by the Tribune
Publishing Company.
The mehanical appearance of the
hew magazine ts attractive enough to
compare favorably with any magazine
in the country. The contents deal With j
the business end of the live stock in
dustry, dairying, cheese-making, pas
turing and other forms.
It has a broad d'stribution going to.
the twelve Southern Btates, and serv
ing the breeders of pure-bred live
stock in particular.
The editor has been associated With
the Chero-Cola Company, at Columbus,
Ga., for the past four years in the ca
pacity of editor of their House Organ
and Director of Publicity. Previous to'
that, and following his service in the
war. he was a member of the editorial
staff of the Atlanta Georgian and Sun
day American.
He was reared at Adalrsville and
educated at the University of Georgia.
His training in the magazine and news
paper field has been in direct work pre
paring for the publishing business.
The choosing of the live stock industry
as a proper field for a magazine, ex
ploiting profitable farming for South
ern farms shows great faith on his
part in the future of the South. He
says he believes that we are at the
threshold of anew era—smaller farms,
better cultivated and well stcoked.
It now seems that the broad interest
being shown in the cow. sow and hen
program throughout the Sou.th is find
ing concrete support in favor of such
a magazine as the Dixie Live Stock.
Cartersville and Bartow county
should receive much publicity from this
new magazine, which is published ev
ery month, and having so wide a dis
tribution. Mr. Brock and his family
have moved recently from Columbus to
Adairsville, where Mrs. Brock and the
two little Brocks, John Buford H an£ i
Jane, will live, while the editor of the
Dixie Live Stock travels the South in
the interest of more profitable farming,
and the promotion of pure-bred cattle,
hogs, sheep and poultry.
The d'fference in the Dixie Live Stock
magazine and the ordinary pa
per is that the Bartow county publica
tion is a business organ, dealing ex
clusively with the business of/breeding
better live stock, while the smaller
farm papers try to handle every phase
of farming. The one is a high class
specialized magazine while the other
’s more of a general news medium.

RATIA HENDERSON
REPORTS COTTON
OPENING FAST
J. A. HEATH HAS FINE PATCH IN
CITY LIMITS THAT ATTRACTS
MUCH ATTENTION
Mr. Ratia Henderson, progressive
young farmer of the Stllesboro district,
reported last week that he had quite
a number of open bolls of cotton on
his farm, with prospects bright for a
gqod crop this season, despite the boll
cateripllars and other pests.
Heath Has Fine Cotton.
Mr. A. J. Sparks brought to The
Tribune-News office Tuesday after
noon a fine specimen of .ppen cotton
from the field of Mr. J. A. Heath, who
has one of the "show pieces” of cot
ton of this section. This cotton was
planted on May 10th, Mr. Heath says,
and it has proven one of the hardiest
varieties We ever saw. He believes it
withstands the ravages of cotton pests
better than any breed he ever saw,
while the yield Is prolific, and the sta
ple unusually good.
Tabernacle i
Meeting Was
Big Success
With the closing service at the tab’
ernacle Sunday evening, there came to
an end one of the most remarkable
n ceting* ever heid in Cartersville. v
For ten days Dr. W. B. Riley, of Min
neapolis, Minn., and Rev. Frank Pim
had had charge of this series of serv
ices and they completely won the very
large audiences that attended the three
services -.ach day.
On Saturday evening Rev. Frank
Pim, with the young people who were
members of his Bible Study classes,
gave .mi hours program that held the
large audience that greeted them spell
bound with delight. No one has ever
v.sited Cartersville before as children's
evangelist, who so completely won both
the children and parents as did Mr.
Pim.
On Sunday Dr. Riley spoke four times
to very large audiences, growing with
each succeeding service.
On Sunday afternoon Dr. Riley spoke
to church members on the subject,
“Shall Evolution Be Taught in Our
Schools?" He handled the subject in.
a masterly manner.
At the closing service Sunday eve
ning Dr. Riley was presented with a
large purse, which was given volunta-
rily by his admirers as no subscriptions
were tuken for him, .. voluntary offer
ing only being asked for.
The Junior choir also presented thru
Mrs. Sam Jones a purse as a token of
love and appreciation to Mr. Pim. Dr.
Riley and Mr. Pim left Cartersville
Monday mopping with the love and es
teem of alb who were fortunate enough
to near them.
For those of his hearers who were so
de.ighted with Dr. Riley s adjfress on
Bible Study, he gives the following;
“Mastering My English Bible”
Was the subject of Dr. R. B. Riley s
initial day address at the Sam Jones
Tabernacle, Cartersville;
Dr. Riley is founder and president of
the Northwestern Bible Training
school, Minneapolis, Minn., one of the
Important training schools of America.
He is the, executive secretary of the
Christian Fundamentals Association,
and has conducted more Bible confer

;_bout 100 per year. * i
Concerning Bible study, he said -.n
part:
Dr. Jaimes Gray has five simple yet
sublime rules for* B.ble study. They
constitute a sensible
Way of Bible Study,
first —Read the book; not a verse;
not a chapter, but the whole book. It
was not originally given in charpters
and verses, but in books; read it as God
gave it —a book at a time.
Second—Read consecutively, a book
at a sitting. That will give you a
f‘t perspective; that will show the wirt
er’s objective. We don't read history
. by verses or novels a page a day- Why
treat Gods book tp&h less considera
tion . 'BIB
Third —Read ■!>’. over and
over again. Every reading of a book
will repay the perusal. You can ex
haust the meaning of other books, but
new light and new truth is always
breaking from the sacred pages.
Fourth— Read independently. Let
commentaries and lesson helps alone.
The biggest Sunday school in Amenca
uses no a'ids, but employs the Bible in
stead. The scholars study the Bible.
The teachers teach from the Bible in
the First Baptist church, Fort Worth.
Fifth —Read prayerfully. Remind
yourselves of the fact that the Holy
Spirit is the author of the Bible and
