A "Happening"
Is Underway
In Hayneville
Someone once said that
revival days are over, but
not at Hayneville. For the
past five weeks revival has
been in the midst.
Dr. Leonard Ravenhlll
wrote the book, Why
Revival Tarries. His main
point was that because
men, women, boys and
girls still love God At
Hayneville Baptist Church
we have had our altars
filled In each service. In
the past weeks we have
had over 20 new members
to join our church, most of
them were young men and
women.
I hear people talking all
the time, saying, "I wish I
could find a good ole
Southern Baptist church
that still believes In
worshiping God like they
did in the good ole days." If
you are, try the First
Baptist Church of
Hayneville November 2nd
will be a great day at our
church. It will be round up
day with Willie Winn and
the Tennesseans with us all
day and dinner on the
grounds. Then on
November 15th the Lamar
Sego Family will be with
us at 7:30 P.M Some may
say, "Well, that's just old
gospel singing. How is that
helping your church?"
Last week Willie Winn and
the Tennesseans sang at
our church and three
joined the church. The
following evening we
baptized 11 beautiful
people.
The reason for this little
article Is because I open
the paper all the time and
see hate, murder, protest.
I see where the writeup Is
big concerning a young
person getting busted with
pot, so I thought I would
write about what we |
believe the greatest ole 1
fashioned church in the 1
South Is doing for God. We (
love God at Hayneville and <
would love tor you to come '
and be with us in some of
our services. We have a 1
great youth program with 1
over 50 young people each 1
I
Tuesday night. The people
can't be beat. So if you
want to find a church on
fire for God, try the First
Baptist Church of
Hayneville. May God bless

each of you.
Pastor, Johnny Lee Cook
There's rejoicing in the
small rural community of
Hayneville. A small group
of Christian people banded
together a few weeks ago
and promised God that
they would start working
for Him as though each
day would be the last, and
well It might be.
This group of people is
known as the First Baptist
Church of Hayneville and
If you have visited In that
community recently you
know things have changed.
Our pastor, Rev. Johnny L.
Cook, a 25 year old country
boy from the hills of North
Carolina, is truly a man
sent from God. He and his
wife, Judy, reside In the
pastorlum located at
Cllnchfleld.
It all started two weeks
ago with a "pie In the face"
event. The youth leaders
and the pastor had a little
contest going about Sun
day School attendance.
The youth leaders won
when the Sunday School
attendance was 114. The
previous Sunday there
were only 89 in Sunday
School Last Sunday the
Sunday School attendance
rose to 141. Morning
worship attendance has
gone from the 70's to 150
and then last Sunday 210.
Sunday night worship has
increased from the 50's to
near 150.
All these facts and
figures are not meant to
praise man but God alone.
In the last three weeks 20
people received Christ as
their Savior, 13 came by
letter and hundreds of
redicatlons have been
made.
This week, October 12 18,
revival services are being
held each night at 7:30
P.M. Rev. Johnny L. Cook,
the pastor, will be the
evangelist. You are cor
dially invited to come to
where it's happening, the
First Baptist Church of
Hayneville. Saturday
night, October 18, is youth
night and Bro. Cook will be
giving his personal
testimony.

Boiler Still Not Replaced
Southside Elementary
School Without Heating
Southside Elementary
School in Elko is still
without a heating boiler
and all reports indicate the
equipment will not be
delivered until the last
week in October. If cold
weather strikes before the
boiler is delivered, no
facilities are available to
which to move the school's
257 students.
These facts were
revealed at Tuesday's
county Board of Education
meeting in Perry. School
Superintendent David
Perdue reminded the
board that the elementary
school's boiler blew up on
February 27. At that time
the students were bused to
what was then old Houston
High on Sunshine Avenue
in Perry. But Houston High
has been dubbed Perry
Middle School and houses
students formerly at
tending Perry Annex.
Perry Annex's building
is unavailable too because
it is being used to store
textbooks and for some
system offices.
Perdue said he and
Assistant Administrator
Seabie Hickson had been
corresponding "back and
forth" since the explosion
in efforts to determine
extent of liability for
repair or replacement by
the Georgia School
Building Authority, under
whose auspices the
building was constructed.
Perdue said that several
heating contractors would
not guarantee that a
rebuilt heating unit would
operate tor more than a
short period of time. In
stead they recommended
replacing the entire unit,
at a low bid cost of
$5,689.00.
Sydney Pyles Heating of
Macon was low bidder and
has Informed the school
superintendent that the
unit on order will not
arrive until the last week
of October, at which time
eight days will be required
for installation.
* In other school board
activity, Hickson gave his
financial report. It shows a
balance, after pending
obligations, of $282,246 in
the school system's
operating budget. In ad
ditlon, another $500,000 is
still invested drawing
interest.
$500,000 was taken out of
savings last month to pay
bills due then. Hickson
stated that county tax
money was beginning to
come in- $242,000 so far
and will continue to be put
on the books tor several
more weeks
One $10,650 bill that was
not budgeted is a bill for
dumpsters how placed at
each of the county's 25
public schools. The
Houston Sanitation
Department now collects
garbage from every
county public school. Prior
so September the cities of
Perry and Warner Robins
collected garbage from
schools located within
their city limits.
In another financially
related matter, Hickson
said he had dropped plans
to place the school
system's billing on com
puters. He said the com
puter company wanted
$2,000 to set up the system,

Dr. James W. Alley,
Director of the Division of
Public Health, Georgia
Department of Human
Resources, addressed the
group on "The Healing
Community", sharing
many heart-warming
experiences of his as a
medical missionary in
Bolivia. He stressed the
vital need of people
working together to put
together a system so that
everyone will have a
decent standard of living,
with special emphasis on
the community's role of
helping its teen agers.
Outstanding among the
activities reported by state
chairmen was the
Education Funds Crusade
to which Georgians
responded with 93 percent
of the $2,500,000 goal.
Daniel O. McCook of
Brunswick was elected the
new Division Chairman,
heading the new officers
and members of the Board.
Highlighting the lun
cheon was an address by
Mrs. Mary Beth Busbee,
Georgia's First Lady, who
introduced her cookbook,
"Mary Beth's Sampler",
the proceeds from which
will go to the American
Cancer Society.
The "Sampler" includes
recipes from the wives of
our State Legislators, U S.
Congressmen and former
and he added the new
system would not be that
much more beneficial than
his current method.
Hickson summed up the
county school system's
financial status as "in
pretty good shape". But he
added, "It is still too early
to see any definite trends."
