“HURRY”
In this whirlwind of time
everything is done in a hurry.
Wp get out in a hurry to get
our chores done. Those who have
jobs are off to their jobs in
a confused rush to get produc-
tin done. It seems to have gone
farther than just jobs. When we
go to visit a sick friend or a
shut-in, W'o seem to be in too
big a hurry to make them enjoy
it. They are made to feel like
wc- came because its duty and
not because we want to bring
m a little cheer and some of the
outside world, from which they
are shut in We don’t take time
to visit our neighbrs for a
friendly chat any more, and
when we go to Sunday School
and church, it’s hurry to get
through. We hear such remarks
as “I’ve got to get back: I’m
looking for company,” or “we
are going some place,” or “I
didn't clean up; I’ll have to get
back and do that”: even “I’m
hungry—wish they would hur¬
ry.” We don’t take time to sing
enough, or to go into the lesson
discussions as we should; don’t
take time to discuss the daily
Bible readings, 1 hereby helping
one another; never ask any
question if any one knows of
anybody sock in the community
or in need and distress, and nev¬
er appoint a committee (that
shouldn’t be necessary, but is) to
visit around and try to interest
folks in the Lord’s work. Every¬
body is too busy. Did Jesus ever
hurry? No. He always had time
to do good. He came to seek and
to save that which was lost, but
if He were to appear now, I’m
afraid He would have to hurry
to get around to all that need
Him.
Even on the night He was be¬
trayed He never hurried; He
calmly sat down, blessed and
break the bread and did eat; He
also took time to wash feet,
thereby leaving us an example
of humbliness, but do we heed
that example? We don’t take
time; we don’t wait upon the
Lord.
“For all seek their own not
the things which are Jesus
Christs’.”—Phil. 2:21. We are not
watchful enough. Jesus said, “Be
watchful and strengthen the
things which remain that are
ready to die: for I have not
found thy works perfect before
God.”—Rev. 3:2. We should
right about and face toward hos¬
pitality to all; good for evil;
helping hand to those in need;
a word of cheer to the
hearted; a friendly greeting
everybody. Our precious boys
not fighting for a world of
red, malice, sin, strife,
and selfishness, but pure
mocracy. So, let’s clean up
the home front while they
fighting and dying on the
tlefronts. Let’s try to have
cleaner, friendlier, better
for them to come back to
for the next generation to
in.
—Mrs. Will Bradford.

CANDIDATE FOR IK
ORDINARY
TO THE CITIZENS OF DADE COUNTY:
On March 4, this year, the people of Dade County will decide whether or
not they are satisfied with my management of your county government under my
administration as your Ordinary. In order to reach this decision every voter of
the county is entitled to the full facts as to the county’s affairs.
On January 1, 1937, when I took office as your Ordinary, your county had
cn hand a cash balance of $44,634.75. Today, your county has on hand as a cash
balance the sum of $48,025.84, and the sum of $19,000.00 invested in War Bonds,
tiour county s cash assets today are $67,025.84, as against $44,634,75 when I took
office, an increase in cash assets during my term of office of fifty per cent. Also,
during my tenure of office your county purchased out of its operating funds the
load rights-of-way for U. S. 11, the Scenic Highway and the road from LaFayette
to Trenton, ail of which were built by the state during my tenure of office, the
rights-of-way costing your county the sum of $28,903.81. If this sum had not
been expended for these rights-of way it also would be invested in War Bonds as
1 L aSS6tS which would make the cash assets on hand equal to the sum of $95,-
oon 5, or an increase in cash assets during
. my tenure of office approximately
EIGHTY PER CENT.
en assumed office January 1, 1937, the bonded indebtedness of the
county was $112,000.00. Today the bonded indebtedness is $76,000.00, or a de-
crease in bonded indebtedness of thirty-two percent. When I assumed the duties
of this office aside from this bonded indebtedness the county was free of debt
and had no other outstanding obligations. Today your county is free of debt ex-
obligaiions C lStlng bonded indebtedness referred to and has no other outstanding
