THE Ford car is so simple in
construction, so dependable in its
action, so easy to operate and handle
that almost anybody and everybody
can safely drive it. v
The Ford Coupe, permanently enclosed
with sliding glass windows, is cozy,
and roomy—modest and refined—a car
«that you, your wife or daughter will be
proud to own and drive.
And of course it has all the Ford econ
omies of operation and maintenance.
Call and look over the Ford Coupe.
Reasonably prompt delivery can be
made if you order at once.

Henry IT rd to be king bee of J-he
Mussel Shoals of the Tennessee,
Through busy Weeks the paper
speaks and the voice of Uncle Sam
Its on the board that Henry Ford
will finish the Wilson Dam.
The water that rolls o’er Mussel;
Shoals will turn industrial wheels
That operate to make nitrate, to
fertilize our fields.
There’s going to be a mighty boom,
way up in Alabam—
When Ford shall stand and give
eommand to finish I he-Wilson dam
The South will see prosperity and
business will be jammed,
We hail the day, (hough some may
say, The Mussel Shoals be damned
And when the Dam’s completed and
the locks in operation,
The old eyesore will be no more
a bar to navigation.
The waters tame will then proclaim,
the world is getting wiser
For from the air with greatest care
they’re making fertilizer.
When Ford mines among us our
bells will welcome ring,
For In’ ll come as benefactor and
not as tyrant king.
Our Boys and girls will have a job,
good pay for all they do
So HENRY FORD is welcome ami
more than welcome too
of the tide arrayed against you we
hope you’ll stem the flood,
For (he ones that give you welcome
are of Anglo-Saxon blood
We believe you are honest Henry in
! what you say you’ll do
So you are welcome Henry and more
than welcome, 100.
Your name is known all over the
laud by both Ford car and tractor
We’d like to shake your honest hand
and rail you benefactor.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire lo thank our many
friends and neighbors for their syin
palhy and kindness shown us during
the recent death of our beloved bus
hand and father; also for the flora
offerings and may each one h: v
just such friends to comfort then
in their dark hour, is the prayer o
Mrs. O. R Herndon and children.

“CITIZEN'S" COMMUNICATION
ON BELTER RURAL SCHOOLS
Hinkles, Ga. Nov. 28.
• Ed. Messenger:— -•
I notice in your paper
of Nov. 24th aii article on our pub
lic schools. I would like to shake
hands with the “Citven” who wrote
l.;v« letter for I do feel with pity
for the rural school teacher and the
scholars that go to school where
there are only a few pupils.
No child likes to go to where there
are only a few children and I think
now the time, for Districts where
there are only a few children in a
school to combine their schools and
put all the children in one school
and have it a graded sffhool where
there can be more than one teacher
to handle the children. Think of one
i teacher going into a school room of
30 or 40 children and this one teach
er frying to give each child justice
in its studies. Why it is imossible.
No one. teacher can do this.
Now here in this community we
could have a 9 months school w
2 or 3 teachers as there are at least
Bft children of school age, bright and
intelligent, who only want a chance
to go to a good school. Just to think
of our taxes always paid without a
murmur and in this year of 1021 we
have had a bout 3 months of school;
it is a shame and it will never be
any better until we get someone in
terested in better conditions of the
county schools.
What we want is to build a com
fortable school building and put it
in a central place where it. is as near
to each of the communities as is
possible to make it. 44 e think that
by making this change in our school
system that in place of having two
schools going on, with, say 20 or 30
at each school if we could get these
children alt in one school and have
two good teachers to take care of
them that we could feel that we as
parents and citizens of Walker
County would feel proud of our
start towards the betterment of the
community in which we live.
I feel that our wishes for better
schols will be fulfilled and that in
the near future we can look upon
our school house and teachers and
pupils with thanks to God and for

SHELLS OF POVERTY
(Waiter II- Page;
The man who says we are too poor
to increase our taxes for education
is the perpetuator of poverty. It is
| a doctrine that has kepi us poor. It
smells of she alms house and the
, hovel. It has driven more men and
more wealth from the state and
kept away more men and more
wealth than any other political doc
trine ever cost us—more e\ on I Inin
the doctrine of secession. Such a
man is the victim of an ancient and
harmful falsehood.
Even if you could respect the re
ligion of the man who objects to the
elevation of the forgotten masses
by public education, it is hard to
respect his common sense; for does
his church not profit by the great
enlightenment and prosperity that
j every educated community enjoys.
: This doctrine smells of poverty
poverty in living, poverty in think
ing, and poverty in the spiritual life.
