THE BARTOW TRIBUNE (TRIBUNE, VOL. 13, No 31.) (NEWS, VOL. 38, No. 20.) 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. Reunion Of The Jones Family is Held in Rome The annual reunion of the descend ants of the late Rev. Samuel G.

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.

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 ences in America in the last five years IKm r.ny living American minister has. ever put on in a kindred length ot time, ;_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 (Continued on Pago Four)
