Community Life
The city of Conyers is happily mov
ing on toward a more vivid apprecia
tion of its own community life. A lit
tle reflo-lion, however, minbt quicken
its step. AVe are so near a larger city
Hint there is danger of forgetting our
own virtues because of the glare Hud
boom of the bigger. It means some
thing to live in a community which Is
not so large, but that every citizen
may know and enter into the live of
every other. There is tin* sense of
fineness, of inter-relationship in the
small town that one largely loses in
the big city There is more of the
family spirit None of our lieople are
so wealthy as to lose interest in tJmiu*
not wealthy, and none so poor as to
lie forced to beg or steal. If in some
rare case poverty pinches too hard the.
sufferer only needs to let it he known
to have relief offered. The more for
tunate look on the less fortunate as
brothers and seek to relieve tills strain
while the whole family rejoice together
when fortune smiles on any. Now it
may be we do not properly appraise
this fact. When we go to spend our
money we often go to some other
and thus im|ioverlsh our own <‘oinmiisi
ty purse. Making ourselves less aide
to carry on.
Then I would say a word about our
church life. We are one people and
ns one iieople are interested in the
church life of tlie community. There
is not denominational strife. We hll
want (every chim b to prosper because
we know that tin* church life is tlie
heart life of the whole. The day lius
passed when men feel that in order to
build their house, they must tear down
another's. Thinking of t lie ill ter-rela
tions hi f> of the community, can we not
see that the laxnrss or indifference of
one tones down the effectiveness of
the whole? One lawless man affeefs
the whole as does one broken finger
the man.
I pi end for the deepening of com
munity interest.
1 plead for loyalty to our churches-
I plead for u deeper interest in one

Methodist Church Notes
On last Sunday our church was a
center of life and interest. The morn
ing service was given to a study of
‘‘Tin* World's Cry for Christ and the
Response of the Church- Some Ureeks
came to one of Christ's disciples and
asked to see Jesus. These Greeks rep
resented the millions who do not know
God as he is seen In Christ Will the
church answer their cry? We can If
we will. The evening service was en
livened by a group of boys helping the
pastor detail tin* life of John Mark.
This was a fine service. The boya
were Hutton (Heaton. Hlllie Patrick,
Ward H. Galley, Joseph Brown, Harry
McElvaney, and W. O. Mann. The
boys did well and showed liow well
they could do with more training.
Next Sunday the morning service
will lie given to a study of “The Man
That Missed Heaven and Why.” Tin
evening sermon will be preached by a
group of our flue girls —tlie theme.
“Robbery.”
"Who is hurt, the person robbed or
the robber?”
Baptist Church
Sunday morning Sunday school serv
ice brought forth a marked increase
in attendance, consequently showing
an increase in interest.
The morning worship was well at
tended. The pastor brought out splen
did thoughts concerning Christian be
liefs and negative beliefs. Mr Coop
er rendered the vocal solo “Whisper a
Prayer,” which was very effective-
Why is it that the people today seem
so bent toward pleasure? Do they not
stop to think of consequences? Tbt
lsistor in tin* evening service brought
an inspiring and thoughtful message,
pointing out the sin of worldly rather
than Godly people- His subject was
“Towers of Pleasure."
You are cordially invited to attend
tlie services of tlie church. Why not
turn your hearts on Sunday at least,
to tlie jieace which comes from true
worship?
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep
it holy.”
801 l Weevils for 1929
tThc indications arc
tiiat we will have lots
of hull weevile in Hock
dale county early in the
season tills year. II is
far from safe to “guess
that some how we will
not lie bother inir-li
with them," for every
indication is that they
will la* here in abundance. There are
reasons for saying this-
Now, there is a lot of guessing for
tlie farmer to do on tilings tlml con
cern t|ie weather, or about things that
flu* weather affect, but still there are
a lot of things about which we do not
have to depend on guessing, and aiiier*
guessing is so often tin* cause if a lot
of trouble, it behooves us to leave off
guessing on the things that we can
find out the facts about, and act on
facts that we know exist.
Now, let’s figure some on some fads
about tills Imll weevil business; What
determines the amount of boll weevils
that we have in the spring at (lie be
ginning of tlie boll weevil infestation?
I>e you know the answer? Well, you
do know the answer if you have been
studying this business as much as you
should have. Tlie answer is simply
based on three tilings and they arc
tlj.ese: First, how many and liow gen
eriil were boll weevils jn Rockdale
county lust fall before frost? The an
awer to tills question is that we laid
plenty of them all over the county be
fore tlie season was over last year.
Second, how late in the fall were ill
Weevils fed and allowed to thrive lie
Ijpre killing frost? The answer to tlii
question is that we had second growth
leaves and blooms in our cotton and
the hull weevils thrived and multiplied
until late in tlie fall, or about 'til tin
first of December. Y'ou remember we
had a very late date for killing frost
last year. Third, How- cold a winter
is there to kill the weevils out that go
into winter quarters? The answer to
this question is that we have lmd lit
tie weather cold enough to give Hie
boll weevils much trouble yet, and a
this is nearly tin* middle of February
we cannot count on Mr. 801 l Weevi
being injured very badly before om
cotton comes up this spring.
Now, since we will have so many
weevils at planting time this year
and since we do not know whether 1h
summer weather will la* in favor of
the boll weevil or against him. and
since we cannot handle a large acre
age of cotton and fight the weevil on
it and projierly cultivate it at tlie
same time, especially if it rains much
and since we do not want to get h
the place that if we stop to fight tin
boll weevil, tin* grass will eat up oui
cotton crop, and if we stop to kill Hit
grass, (lie boll weevils wil eat up oui
cotton crop, we liad better lie aide 1i

take care of the boll weevils and grass 1
both if we want to lie reasonably sure]
of making a cotton crop.
Now, we can do these things and
make a good cotton crop with the boll
weevils here if we will reduce our
acreage to tiiat amount that we have
good laud to plant on, fertilize well,
and cultivate well and fight the boll
weevil well on-
Now, let’s play safe, and plaut only
that amount of cotton tiiat we can
.veil handle this way. This is a ser
ious proposition and I am worrying a
lot about the fellow who puts in more
icrcagc than la* can handle with the
toll w evils here this year. Now, fel
