Clay County in southwestern Georgia was founded to sur
round the Chattahoochee River outpost of Fort Gaines,
which dates from 1816 during the Indian Wars. In the
early days cotton plantations bolstered river traffic. To
day peanuts and cotton are leading products with mort of
the county moving toward cattle raising and planted
pastures. Principal industries are peanut shelling, cotton
gins, fertilizer mixing, a game bird farm, nursery for
ornamental plants, and sawmills.
In this and other Georgia counties, the United States
Brewers Foundation works constantly to maintain whole
some conditions where beer and ale are sold. Close at
tention is given areas near camps of the Armed Forces, and
both military officials and Georgia law enforcement officers
have commended the Foundation’s self-regulation pro
gram. Retailer educational meetings offer sound sugges
tions for continued operation in the community’s interest.

io buy an
AIL-CROP Harvester now
All combines or* not allko. Lot us show you
what makes fho AU-CROP Harvostor different.
Harvest season may be a long way off, but there are sever
al good reasons for buying an ALL-CROP Harvester note.
1. By speaking early, you can be sure of having the first
choice in combines. The harvest always comes, and
the supply of ALL-CROP Harvesters has often been
short of the great demand when crops were ready.
2. Your trade-in combine is sure to be worth more now
than at harvest. During the winter we have time to
recondition and re-sell used equipment.
Remember, the ALL-CROP Harvester is priced for
home ownership, and proved in more than 100 threshable
crops.
To have the best machine when you need it ... to get
full value in a trade . . . stop in or call us now.

No Favorites
Lesson for February 15, 1953
j loves a "teacher’s
1 pet. No teacher should have
one; just as no father or mother
should have a "pet” child. We all
feel that everybody should be treat
ed alike. And yet, strange to say,
when It comes to religion, many a
person who wouldn’t be a teacher’s
pet for anything, will believe and
hope that he is one of God’s pets.
All of us have this wish at times.
We like to feel that God won’t deal
with us strictly, that he will let
down the rules for us a little. Wa
like to think of ourselves as spe
cial cases, we like to feel we have
the inside track, or the “pipeline
to God.” But it won't do. God has
no special favorites.

Fatal Mistake
It is a fatal mistake to think that
God is bound to look out for ME,
no matter what. In the time of
Jesus, the leaders of his people
thought God was
ham,' Samuel!
Moses, David and Dr. Foreman
countless other good and noble
people. The aristocrats of Jesus’
time thought; Since we belong to
the same family as those who have
served God so well, surely God
will show US special favors! But
God does not grant special priv- 1
ileges merely on account of a fam
ily tree. There are people today
who will tell you; "Yes, my peo
ple for three generations have be
longed to this church. My great
grandfather helped to build it. My
good old mother just about wore
her Bible out—l could show you If
I could find it around somewhere.”
I But Jesus did not hold out any
hope that you can secure a seat by
the Throne on-Abraham’s ticket,
or your dear old grandmother’s, or
any one else who happens to be
high on your family tree. Then for
another thing, those stuffed-shirt
Pharisees thought God owed them
something because of the positions
they held. They had the front seats
in the synagogues; every one got
up when they came In. They seem
to have got the idea that even God
I would get up when they arrived In
heaven. But Jesus gave no encour
agement to that notion either.

Promises “If—”
I Another reason why these prom
} inent men thought they had a sort
| of first mortgage on the Kingdom
j of Heaven was that they misunder-
I stood the promises of God. Many
| promises of blessings, wonderful
blessings, had been made to the
! people of Israel by prophet after
, prophet. These promises are still to
j be read in the Old Testament.
Where the chief priests and all that
! crowd made their mistake was at
! two points. One; they supposed
that these were promises “no mat
ter what;’’ promises without condi
: tions, without any strings attached.
I God would give Israel all these
I blessings, they reasoned; they be
longed to Israel, therefore they
J would share the blessings.
] Not at .all; Jesus tells them
straight out that the kingdom is to
| be taken away from them and glv
j en to a “nation producing the fruits
| of it.” What nation? That promise
j is still good, but no nation, group
' or people or race or church can
claim it absolutely and finally. The
J "kingdom," with God’s highest
| blessings, can belong to England or
j Japan or the United States or Ethi-
I opia—IF They are offered and
promised to any nation that will
produce the fruits. Does ours?
• ♦ •
Christ or Chaos
Again these men were mistaken
in supposing they could claim
God's blessings and yet reject
God’s Son. The basic trouble with
those big men of Jerusalem, and
the people they influenced, was
' that they did not want Jesus. They
, did not want him. his ideas, his
leadership: they had no notion at
all of his sacrifice. Living or dying
1 they had no use for him . . . and
so they perished Those who reject
the living Grace of God have to
I suffer the consequences. Christ is
I still the test of community and na
tion. The people who welcome him,
live by him, have enduring life.
The kind of people who turn him
away and try to destroy what he
gave his life for, will themselves
be destroyed The epitaph of all
wrecked nations could well be the
same: Here lie the wretched re
mains of a people that had no use
for God To reject Christ is to
choose chaos.

Ocmulgee Soil Conservation Dis-
I trict Cooperator R, T. Tuggle of
I the Perry Community has just
I finished planting approximately
5,000 feet of fence row to Multi
flora Rose.
Plants were furnished by the
) Soil Conservation District to dem
onstrate the value of Multiflora
j Rose as a living fence. Robert did
lan excellent job of planting the
! hoses, using the District’s Tree
planter. Plants were spaced about
a foot apart in the row and if all
goes well he should have, in a few
years, a stock-proof living fence.
Also a thing of beauty with white
roses in the Spring and red ber-
I ries in the Fall. T’will be a fitting
j background for that fine herd of
j dairy cows.
District Cooperator J. Meade
Tolleson of the Perry community
was assisted recenty in making a
' soils investigation for a farm pond
, on one of his farms north of Elko.
| Borings were made along the cen
i ter of the proposed dam and out
I in the impounding area to deter-
I mine if a suitable foundation was
j present. Borrow sites containing
' suitable fill material were located.
District Cooiperator J. Y. Green
jof the Perry Community was as
sisted last week in marking two
acres of young pine for selective
cutting, I chipped them and Yates
I painted ’em. Charlie, colored ten-
I ant, and Bob Hartley, assistant
i conservationist, started felling the
I trees immediately. Bob picked out
some mighty small ones to do his
I cutting. Trees marked to come out
j consisted of crokked, ill-formed,
| diseased or crowded trees. The
j thinnings can be used for fence
! posts or pulpwood.
| For the first time it seems there
will be plenty of Coastal Bermuda
stolons available locally for plant
ing this season. Many farmers over
the county have their own stolons.
District Cooperators S. A. Nunn
and J. Meade Tolleson of the Per
ry Community have indicated that
they are prepared to dig whatever
stolons are needed to fill the de
mand of those who do not have
their own. George Brown was by
