Revival To Start At Collins Sunday Widely Known Evangelist of Athens To Do Preaching Next Sunday -night, 8:15 the fall revivial services will begin at the Methodist Church at Collins to tinue a week or ten days, with vices during the week at 3:30 8:15 P. M. Rev. C. C. Cliett the pastor con- ser- and will have as his helpers the Rev. J. A. Langford, pastor, evangelist and radio preacher of Athens. Mr. Lang ford will preach twice daily. Mr. Cliett and local talent will take care of the song service. These two min isters are friends of long standing, having graduated in the same class at Reinhardt College. Mr. Langford is pastor of the Oco nee Methodist Church -in Athens, where he has great congregations •even through the summer months, while other ministers are apologiz ing for having only a handful of people to preach to. Mr. Langford does not confine his activities to his own church but preaches to the thousands through the radio two Sundays a month. Though Mr. Langford is a young man and has been in Athens only one year his popularity is so great that he is called to the homes in sor row. This puts a great burden up on him, as he has twice the number of runerals than all other ministers of his city combined. Card of Thanks I desire to publicly thank the many - friends throughout the county who rendered such able assistance in my race for nomination as Judge of the City Court of Reidsville, in the pri- mary held last Wednesday. I hold no ill will for any who oppose me, and will try to fill the office to the very best of my ability. Respectfully, M. W. EASON.

C. C. Camp on the evening of Friday the 7th. M. V. Overstreet, president, presid- ed, and there was a large and inter-- ested membership in attendance. The object of the meeting was to arrange details of the purchase by the assoc- iation of a one hundred foot steel lookout tower, for fire protection purposes. This tower is being bought to supplement a tower that has been given to the organization by the United States Forest Service. The last named has already been shipped, an should be in Reidsville at an early date. There was considerable discussion about whether to build a temporary wooden tower or to go further and buy a permanent steel one. The wood structure would come for about half the cost of the steel, but the consensus of opinion was strongly for the better structure. The net result was that the members voted an average assessment sufficient to buy the steel tower, and all assess ments are to be paid in by Sept. 22. The C. C. C. forces will then erect both towers, at no cost to the land owners, and connect the tower sys tem with some thirty to forty miles of telephone, the material for this telephone system being already on hand. Considerable thought was given at the metting to a systematic cam paign for the expansion of the pro tection system to all timber owners in the county, and to this end it was determined to hold another meet ing of the association at the City Hall in Glennville on the evening of Sept. 25th, at 7:30. Alarge atten dance is urged and expected. 144 Old Baldy And The Election Why, Hello, Baldy: What do you think of the election? Well!, I think from so many ang les, I find it real hard to express my self clearly on the question. All of my men did not get nominated, and I venture to guess I am not very much worse off in that than any one else. I made one prediction though that came through: I said there would be plenty of campaign liquors in circu lation, and there was, entirely too much. There were eminent gentle men aspiring to some of thehighest offices within the gift of the voters that were guilty of polluting the electorate with gallons of the most vile poison that could be found. Many poor dupes became ill from the ef fects of it. The heat of the campaign has cool ed of, everyone should now be satis fied; if anyone said any offending words while being inebriated, or dur-, ing the heat of the campaign, it should be all forgotten, and all should: be friends as before the election. I know I did things, and said things that I should have refrained from saying, an hereby ask the forgive ness - of my fellow-man for so offend ing. If anyone has offended against me, I now forgive, and forget. Let us sail on serene waters now until the next campaign comes around; we will not all be here to answer to the roll-call then, but some will, at least. —Adiose. Card of Thanks I wish to express my deepest ap- preciation to the voters of Tattnall county for the confidence displayed in me as evidenced by my nomination yesterday as Representative. I as sure the citizens of the county that I shall represent all of the people all of the time and shall exert every ef fort to see that none will have cause to regret that I was nominated.
