Circle 3, Meets
Circle No. 3, W.S.C.S., Jones
boro Methodist Church met on
July 17, 1956 at the home of
Mrs. Irma Miller with Mrs. B. F.
Book as co-hostess. Twelve
members including a new mem
ber, Mrs. Josephine Teague, were
present.
Mrs. Sowell opened the meet
she asked that each person pray
she asked tha each person pray
one sentence of thanks. Mrs.
Plant had an inspirational
thought for the day for each one
to read. Instead of a program
she asked us to discuss what
type program we would like to
have for the coming year. The
[program material suggested
wOs: "Fruits of Discipleship’’,
“Just Jennie", “The World Out
look”, “The Methodist Woman”,,
more study of home and foreign
missions and the functions of
the Methodist Church. “Just
Jennie”, which is a book by a
former missionary to China,
seemed to be the most interest
ing and it was decided that the
study of this book would begin
next month.
After a short business session
the meeting was closed with the
Lord's Prayer. Delicious refresh
ments were served by the host
esses.

odist Church in Forest Park.
The Rev. Harold Cochran, the
Rev. H. H. Jones and the Rev. W.
M. Twiggs officiated. Interment

For many years the Rev. Mr.
Williams was executive director

Felton Williams Mission, Inc., at
430 Pulliam St., SW.
Clayton. County Views
BY MRS. PAULINE BRANYON
The Hon. Herman Talmadge of
Clayton County has been receiv
ing national recognition for
many years because he is for the
RIGHTS of the people, and is
not afraid to tell anybody how
he feels about this country. Even
before the election for United
States Senate (for which he is
the ONLY candidate — the M. E.
on the ticket doesn’t count, you
know), magazines are recogniz
ing his power, and are “writin’
him up”. Read Collier’s issue on
Herman Talmadge.
Already the left wingers of
this nation are afraid of him, and
his influence, his power, his per
sonality, his intelligence, his
RIGHT thinking and RIGHT act
ions, and the man, Herman
Talmadge is. If and when we can
get a few more brainy Souther
ners in Congress who are not
afraid to speak their pieces, we
won’t have to knuckle down to
that old octopus, “the nine old
men" in the Supreme Court. That
old octopus has mighty long
arms, and how they twist and
squeeze their victims!
I note that Ralph McGill is
"going ‘round” speaking to folks
about the Supreme Court, that
its power should never be taken
from it, and that the Judicial,
executive and other branches of
this body and of the government
should never be questioned, much
less taken away. Ralph certain
ly selected a hot bed when he
spoke at the University of North
Carolina — the students may
not be indoctrinated, themselves,
yet, but Oh, the left wingers
that live around that campus,
and “write” for their living —
they sell their articles and books
too!
Well, Ralph, just ain’t got what
it takes these days, so he won’t
get anywhere in Georgia. People
in other states who don’t know
his thinking, might listen to him,
but he is NO mouthpiece for
Georgia, nor for the South.
States Rights Councils in Clay
ton are still going strong. I am
going to tell what they are doing
'Publish Glad Tidings'
Topic of Baptist WM S
“Publish Glad Tidings” was
the topic of the program for the
July meeting of the Woman’s
Missionary Society of the First
Baptist Church which met at
10:30 on Thursday, the 19th. It
treated of the origin and growth :
of the official organ of the
Woman’s Missionary Union, The ’
Royal Service. In July 1906, fifty
years ago, the first copy of this
magazine was edited under the j
name of “Our Mission Fields”. (
The name was changed to .
‘Royal Service” in October 1914. !
The material for the devotion- ■
al was taken from the first copy '
in 1906. Mr. Julian Wilson sang ,
“Look, Ye Saints”. Scripture was j
read by Mrs. E. J. White and Mr. ,
Wilson led in prayer.

Cortez Suttles Wins
13th Tri - City Title
Sunday afternoon on the
Mericrycket Tennis Club courts
in the stirring finals of the Sil
ver Anniversary of the Tri-City
Tennis Championships, Cortez
Suttles won his thirteenth Tri-
City title, defeating Presbyterian
College ace, jerry Hunt, in
straight sets, 6-3, 8-6.
The remarkable thing about
Suttles’ victory is that he con
tinually stows away his racket—
sometimes for as long as 3 years
as he did this last time—finally
decides to take time off from his
very fine golf game—enters the
Tri-City and almost as often he
walks off with the silver again
Only once—l9s3—did he slip up.

-1 dent, is beginning to become a
go-getter. You ought to see how
' many women members belong to
that council, and they know how
’ to influence men folk. They had
some wonderful speakers at their
July 12 meeting.
John Terrell was elected vice
' president at that meeting. Mr.
' Terrell knows the Bible as
thoroughly as any Bible scholar.
He is a real religious man — he
is not a two-timer in religion —
because he takes his wife, three
children, and his mother-in-law,
packs them in a car and drives
65 miles every Sunday to a little
country church near LaGrange.
He says he likes the old time
religion, and in that little coun
try church of his boyhood, he
gets it. He says they still have
an Amen corner. I would say any
; body who would travel 65 miles
each Sabbath to church, must
love his church and his God.

1 Rights Councils, and you must
be a NAACP, if you are not, get

At the end of the program the
ladies gathered around a lovely
cake adorned with fifty candles
and sang “Happy Birthday”. As
they blew out the candles Mrs.
Swiney led the group in wishing
that every woman would sub
scribe to and read the Royal
Service, which would lead to a
more consecrated life.
After the program a business
session was held.

close 3-set match over the blond
husky in the finals for his only
win In this meet.

petite Lin Schofield, High Mu

fourth Tri-City crown, 6-4, 8-6.

an hour before the doubles could
be completed. Suttles and Hunt,
probably two of the best in the

Reminiscences of Bygone Days
BY B. M. WOOTAN
My father was about 8 or 9
years old when the Civil War
started in 1860, and grandmoth
er with four children, moveV
back to her father’s house and
lived there during the war. My
great grandfather had three
boys that were too young to go
in service, so grandmother’s
three boys and her three young
brothers were quite a problem
They had to help grandfathei
Dodson work the farm, and they
raised plenty of corn, syrup,
and meats, and that was about
all they had to eat. Os course in
summer time they had vege
tables and fruits. They would
parch corn and powder it in a
prestlo and use it for coffee and
sweeten it with syrup.
Father said grandmother got
hold of an old tent and made
pants for the boys to wear, and
on workdays the boys would take
a pair of the pants that were
stiff from syrup dropped on
them while eating, and they
would stand the pants up and
throw rocks at them. Grand
father Dodson’s farm was about
a mile east of Rough and Ready
(Mountain View now) and
paralleled Fulton County line
where Blair Village is now lo
cated on what was then known
as the Poole plantation.
POLITICS
I think Herman Talmadge
stands a better chance of'get
ting what we Georgians want
and need than Mr. M. E. Thomp
son does. I know Herman will
stand up for what he thinks is
right. I may be fooled but I am
willing to risk him.
I hope Clayton County can
get the go ahead on a county

“FIND A NEED AND FILL IT ”
Truly among the greatest words of wisdom are these
Which say, IT IS BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE.
Just to be in a position where we are able to give must in
itself mean that we have more than the other person ....
whether it be material wealth or friendship and understand
ing.
In order to give, it is first necessary to know what to
give, when to give and where. Very often, a few words of
kindness are more needed and would be more appreciated
than thousands'of dollars. How often have you read of mill
ionaires searching for happiness? It is because with their
material wealth, they haven’t learned to give honestly of
themselves and so are not able to get honestly from others.
When a person has nothing to give but himself and yet still
has friends, then that person has really achieved something
out of life.
Try to help others for in helping others, you almost always
help yourself. If you can find a need and fill it, be it at work
or at home, you will find it has been filled not only for the
benefit of the recipient, but for your own reward as well.

erage is just about complete on
die north side and we are sure
glad they didn’t tear up Main
Street too much.
QUOTES
The reward you seek for doing
something often turns to ashes
in your hand.
Life’s highest values come
when you seek to give rather
than to receive.
There are so many people go
to church on Sunday expecting
little and usually they are not
disappointed.
A Cop’s Sermon to a Jaywalking
Preacher:
The Lord gave you a body,
don’t jeopardize it by trying to
’ pit your 120 pounds of skin and
bones against two tons of steel,
‘ don’t set a bad example.
There are two kinds of gifts,
there are good gifts prompted
, by God and there are bad gifts
। prompted by Satan.
