W. H. Ogletree and Lee .ongshore .two master farmers and nost excellent citizens of the Oak' Hill section, announce an all day aeeting at Prospect church for next Sunday with dinner on the ground, 'hese home coming affairs are becom ng numerous hereabouts —a mighty ood sign. A few of us Baptists like Iteve Potts, Bartow Walker and ye ’ditor are being invited around to liese Methodist love feas, mainly on leeount of our table manners. They owe noticed us quit eating if the rowd was unusually large, but if the tTowd is small and there is a whole lots of things unet that would spoil anyway, they have watched ns eat it all up which saved them any further trouble and worry. Steve and I have ’et up several Baptist associations, but W. E. Hardeman ate twenty-three chicken livers down at Ebenezer last Sunday, getting in our class, only you couldn’t tell the difference by either looking at him nor by putting your arms around him. H ith these Philadelphia, Ebenezer and Prospect Methodists holding an nual love feasts every Sunday, It strikes us that we Baptists should hold something that will make us love each other instead of talk about each other. The only thing we hold is an annual association, which is ■‘bout the only time we associate with col] other and even that has went st , le on our hands somewhat like mil d< n from too much refrigeration.

SIGMAN, Secty. .e!)e tiodiMe flecort Ebenezer Home Coming Home Coming Day was observed al Ebenezer church Sunday with the largest attendance noted in years. U was truly a home gathering, as prac tically all present were reared in this community. The morning service's were conduct ed by Rev. A. M. Pierce, of Atlanta, who served as pastor of this church many years ago. The church was crowded to its fullest capacity, as Rev. Pierce, in his impressive manner, de livered his message to an appreciative and receptive audience; to an audience that were no doubt recalling the days of Auld Lang Syne with Rev. Pierce as their pastor. Dinner was served on the ground, and true to the custom of these peo ple. the tables were bountifully laden, which would have easily served twice the number present. It was the after dinner hour in which old acquaintances renewed friendships. It was strikingly touching to witness the meeting of many of whom had not met in years —and per haps then on very sad occasions. In the afternoon the crowd again assembled in the church. After the announcements were made by Rev. .1. D. Milton, a very interesting feature of the program was enjoyed, the his tory of the church, prepared by Mr. A. M. Pierce, of Atlanta, was very ef fectiveiy read by Mr. Grady Goode, also of Atlanta, in the presence of many of whom could recalleven ts of some of its earliest dates. Both Mr. Pierce and Mr. Goode were reared in Ebenezer community. Dr. Jolly later gave a very interest ing talk on the work and duties of the laymen, with tin- expectation of organizing a society at Ebenezer. So evident was the success of Ebenezer’s first home coming day that it was unanimously decided that it should be come an annual affair. Among those present who were rear ed in this community and are now making their homes in Atlanta were: Mr. Jim Hardin and family, Mrs. Su sie Ruth Mountcastle, Mr. Tom Mor ris, Mr. John Warren and family, Mr. Joe Potts and family, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. B. Goode and family, Mrs. Ber tha Hardin, Mrs. Monia Rice and fam ily, Mr. Judd Rosser, Mr. and Mrs. Bud Almand and daughter, Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Pierce. Rev. W. R. Bran on. Mr. Thompson Potts and family. Mrs. Fannie Perkins and son, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Brisendine and son. Others present were: Mrs. Maude Potts and son, Martin, of Young Har ris ; Mr. Joe Goode, Griffin; Mrs. G. W. Tumlin, Tallapposa, Ga. Ebenezer News The editor has asked me to write the local happenings in and around Ebenezer and I promised I would try. I hope I will have lots of good news to write. The home-coming day was enjoyed by a large number of people who came from far and near t toalk and be with their old friends. All went home glad they had been and if any body went away hungry it was their fault, for there was a bountiful dinner spread under the large oak trees where many good dinners have Iteen enjoyed be fore. hut never one so large as this one. Mr. Grady Goode, of Atlanta, prom ised to come down some Sunday, bring some singers and make some music. I think it would be nice for the editor to set a date and remind him and come out with him. We don’t have any Sunday school yet a while and seems as if we could meet more often on Sunday afternoons and have some singings. Mrs. A. M. Pritchett and children, of Atlanta, spent last week as guest of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. McCullough. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Stanton enter tained a large number of young people at an ice cream supper Saturday night which was enjoyed by all present. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Garner and little son, J. C., were the guests of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Garner, Sunday. The friends of little Horace Garner will be glad to know that he is im proving from a badly burned arm. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Regan and mother, Mrs. Bert Regan, spent a while Saturday evening with Mr. and Mrs. G. H. McCullough. Mr. and Mrs. .1. T. Kirkpatrick were the week-end guests of the latter’s sister, Mrs. Lela Jones. Mr. and Mrs. Byron Lester and two children, Mary Alice and John, of At lanta. were guests Sunday of his par ents. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Lester. i w. s. s.

Watson said every ninety eeuts of foreign mission money went. We have been for a bond issue, hut gladly admit our mistaken idea, and take our hat off to Col. Vaughn and Dr. Cannon in their stand against such an issue. It is refreshing to know that we are sending two men up there whom the lobbyists cannot whack up with from funds derived from a bond issue or other sources. Onr securety may be fully trusted in the hands of similar men going up there from the rural sections of Georgia whose in tegrity will stand us in good under the most adverse maneuverings of a well organized gang of political agents. Among their outstanding remedies for improved highways, is their de sire to place commercial Hucksters and bussers under the public service commission and thus have them hear their just portion of highway construc tion and maintenance and render an impartial and dependable service rain or shine day after day. Like it is, any jack leg can jump into a run down buss or worn out truck and engage in irres]>onsilile commercial transporta tion and highway destruction and de moralize' highway traffic without one iota of expense or responsibility and without rendering an ounce of com munity benefit. AH hail to our pro gressive and impartial representatives Gol. Vaughn and Dr. Cannon. 801 l Weevil Week Keep up the fight against the boll weevils. It is as easy and cheap to poi son an acre of cotton now, even if it should have nt) more than one pair of weevils on it, as it is to wait till this pair raises a lot of young critters. Now is the safe time. Every one’s co operation in killing out every boll wee vil possible this week. This week is “BOLL WEEVIL WEEK” for us all and for our common good. W. O. Mann and Bailed & Sims are handling molasses for making your own poison. M. W. Hull is handling “Weevil Nip” at cost to the farmers. This is $20.00 a barrel of fifty gallons, which makes one hundred gallons when di luted with water. We want to say “thank you” to Mr. Hull for this good spirit in helping control the weevils. Add water to your molasses or wee vil nip only as you use it, as it will sour in 24 hours after water is added. If you do not get to all cotton this week, let’s keep up the fight until all is poisoned before checking up. Let’s keep the weevils down this year, by keeping ahead of them all the way. ERNEST D. HOLMES, County Agent. Messrs. Hull and Sims Now Back in Our Class The first definite elimination on Riverside that has been played off to a finish is that of Messrs. Mercer W. Hull and G. Carl Sims, prominent hankers, farmers and soeieyt leaders of this community, who met defeut nt the hands of Rev. J. L. Drake and Joseph Towns, Jr., Monday of this week for the third successive time. Thus it is that they step down and stand in line with ye editor, some what like water seeking its level. The delightful part about golf Is more than winning. The most delight ful thing Is the fact that golf takes your mind off things that wrry you, for you forget them in the thick of the battle against par. When the play er tees off, he leaves behind all busi ness and personal troubles. Hence for two or three hours you are at ense, and when the game is over you nre tires physically and refreshed mental ly, an ideal condition. The fresh air and walking over the links are bene ficial as exercise, but the respite from business and personal cares is the greatest Itenefit of all and above all other things, makes the game worth while. There Is nothing better than leaving your cares in the office and slipping away to the links with two or three pleasant companions. Honey Creek News Miss Mary Lou Johnson, of Atlanta, has returned home to spend the sum mer with her father, Mr. J. W. John son. Miss Ruby Watson had as her guest Sunday Miss Irene Almand.

Galley and the other mem hers of Riverside Golf club will get busy and give Bobby a royal reception with an old fashioned barbecue with all the trimmings that go with it. He will use Galley’s Paracord Long Distance Golf Balls. Mr. John R. White, our genial City Fount proprietor, left this week for Memphis, Tenn., where he will enter the Veterans’ hospital. He anticipates a treatment that will last through the entire summer months. Conyers re grets very much this necessary ab sence of John and will pray for his entire recovery and return. Popular at Home and Abroad Eugene Crutchfield Has the 801 l Weevil Family all Balled Up There are many ways og getting rid of the boll weevil, and most of them will work, but Eugene Crutchfield is the first man we know of to Invent a thing that will work without first working you. He has a V shaped con traption extended out from the plow beam with a croker sack suspended therefrom which is fed poison through a rubber tube with u regulated flow from a gallon can fastened directly on top of the plow beam. As you run nround your cotton, this poison is rub bed over the cotton from both direc tions and when yon get through plow ing you have finished the poison treat ment and without an extra man or minute’s time. In addition to saving labor and applying the remedy timely and properly, you have saved material because every drop stays where it Is rubbed on. Oakgrove community is one of our brnng sections, good farmers, industrious wives, pretty children and clean croiw —looks like camp meeting time all the time up there. They use their hat to salute ladies and their head to out guess the boll weevil with. The Baptist Pastor Begins to Fight Pastor Drake has been passive and fanning his congregation with an olive branch and preaching peace and good will among men for lo these many months, but no longer will you find him wavering between popular opinion and the “sinless summerland” to which the way of the cross alone leads. His sermons last Sunday were on the or der of a proclamation. He condemned things by their first name and left the impression that surnames would he mentioned If u more formal indict ment becomes necessary. We under stand Mr. Drake does not like prize fights, Sunday golf nor bridge, hut of course, there are many other things he will think of sooner or later, possi bly including a thing or two that even ye editor engages in. However, we don’t do hut two things that our pas tors don’t do, and we have our doubts about one of those. We nre sorry for all other laymen around here who’s got to quit so many things else and stay at home in their wife's way Sun days. We have three white resident pas tors and trust they will form a league and treat llieir respective members alike, for if we Baptists can’t have u fight, wc don't think our Methodist or Presbyterian neighbors should have any fights either. The Methodist Pastor Suspicious of Sin Pastor Jordan preached a great ser mon Sunday night on success and fail ure in Conyers and the “secret sin” of one man in the camp that brought Israel’s first defeat following their deliverance from Kgyptian bondage and triumphant entry into the promis ed land. Immediately upon their en trance into the promised land, God gave them a mighty victory over the city of Jericho and thus it is that vic tory and independence too often bring sin into play. However, pastor Joshua, somewhat different from pastors of today, threw himself bodily upon the ground as unto the Lord in Iwdialf of his people and God permitted Joshua to remove the sin and the sinner from within the camp and proceed upon his victorious march throughout the prom ised land. Church discipline is far dif ferent from that today, in fact, dis cipline is but a mere matter of “group gossiping,” without a thought or de sire for reclamation. Pastor Jordan is well founded in his suspicion of there being sin in the camp, but what can he do about it when there are less than a dozen parents out to hear him preach and assist him in finding the guilty culprit or culpritis as the case may be and likely is, for man would not sin unless it pleased woman. If woman will raise her standard, man will fall in line and adjust himself to it. Likewise, if woman lowers her standard, man will be right with her —right or wrong, he is for and with her. However, with dresses above her knees and below her armpits, there is little mystery left to exeit man’s curi osity except as to how she is going to vote. Man will be good if woman will demand it of him. One case of measles will spread over an entire community and it may be that our one case of sin has spread throughout the congregation by this time, for nothing has been done about it. NUMBER 22
