Grim death lias again visited
our town and claimed for its vic
tim our friend and mother and
wife, Mrs. J. M Morris and left a
vacancy that can never be filled.
While we extend our profound
sympathy to you, my bereaved
friends, our tears are blended
with yours and we rejoice that
you.are spared the intense agony
of suspense that some less fortun
ate are supposed to endure.
The guide she followed nev.er
leads his lambs astray, .but leads
them cautiously that they may
avoid the coming in contact with
some perilous shoal and perish
among the barriers.
She trusted her savior implic
itly.
She leaves a husband, and four
sons, Chester, Jeff, Kinard and
Joe Neal to mourn her death.
Look forward loved ones, with
hope and remember that the fear
of death is overcome only by liv
ing in God’s service.
FORDSOti TRACTOR
DEMONSTRATION A
' CREST SUCCESS
The Fordson Demonstration
held here on Tuesday was attend
ed by a large by a large 1 crowd
of interested farmers. This dem
onstration was held by represen
tatives of Ford Motor Co., and J
R. Duncan, the local Fordson
dealer.
The moving picture show held
Monday night in the grove near
Duncan’s garage and attracted a
large crowd. The different reels
were very interesting and were
strong arguments for better seed
bed preparation for successful
farming. The pictures showed by
actual comparison how much bet
ter crop results were where land
was properly prepared than
where it was planted with very
little preparation.
The demonstration Tuesday
.showed the various machines that
can be operated with Fordson
tractor impresses us as a very
handy machine for a farmer to
have on his farm for it can pay
for its keep by doing a dozen dif
ferent things on the farm besides
plowing.
There will be a meeting at the court house on next
Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock sharp. The object of the
meeting is to see whether or not we can make a Cream
ery a paying proposition for you and Douglas County, K
Every member of the Farm Bureau and evei;y farm
er in the county are urged to attend.
We have been assured the co-operation of the busi
ness men in a financial way to get something on foot
that is to your interest. The problem is too great for
you to solve alone and it is going to take us all pulling
together to mak.e a success. This is why we urge you to
lay aside your problems at home and be with us.
Do not wait for your neighbor to bear the blunt of
getting things started and then think you will come in
and get the gravy, but come with him and let’s all get
started together. Other counties have been successful in
doing these things, there is no reason why we can’t.
Now if you and your county want to be the tail end
in the state of Georgia and the South, just stay at home
and I will assure you that will be the outcome of your
progress. Let us all come together and fill the court
house and start off right.
.Every man who is getting a loan through the gov
ernment is requested to be be present to attend to other
matters. Come and bring someone with you.
