Announcement of the passing of Thomas G. Davis, which oc¬ curred last week, has brought sadness to the heart of many of our citizens whom he had befriended and served during his sojourn here with us. As a citizen, a Christian and a good neighbor, Tom Davis did his full duty as he saw it. Ever ready and anxious to serve his friends in sickness and distress, With his faithful companion by his side, their kindly service and Ministrations to the aged and helpless, the sick and those in distress, will live forever in the hearts of those whom they have so cheerfully and capably served- Mr. Davis’ heart was filled with the milk of human kind¬ ness, and he knew the full meaning of practical Christian¬ ity. Like our Savior, he devoted his life to the service of the poor, the unfortunate with whom he came in contact. He demonstrated his Christian spir¬ it in deeds of loving kindness not mere words and sympathetic platitudes. Tom Davis’ passing is mourn¬ ed by many grateful hearts to whom he has ministered, and his influence will live long after his cones have returned to dust- We deeply sympathize with his aged companion and children who survive his passing. He has truly earned his reward. Peace to his ashes. Buy Victory Bonds Published Weekly — Since 1901. TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1945 Sure, we’ve won the War BUT THE COST GOES ON!

For what purpose did Christ come into the world? “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Je¬ sus came into the world to save sinners.” (I Tim. 1:15). Is there salvation through any other name? “Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name un¬ der heaven given whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12). Through whom only may we come to God? “And one medi¬ ator between God and man, that is the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransome for all, to be testified in due time.” “I will, therefore, that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting.” (I Tim. 2:5-8). What has Christ been made for us, and for what purpose? “For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” (II Cor. 5:25.) . How dependent are we on Christ for salvation? “I am the vine, ye are the branches: Without me ye can do noth¬ ing.” (John 15:5.) What three essentials for a saviour are found in Christ? “But unto the Son He sayeth, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever.” (Heb. 1:8 ) Humanity. “When the full¬ ness of time came, God sent forth His Son, made of a wo¬ made under the law.” (Gal. 4:4.) Sinlessness. “Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth” (I Peter 2:22.) How did Christ show from the Scripture that the promised Saviour of the world must be both human and divine? “While the Pharisees were gath¬ ered together, Jesus asked them saying, What think ye of Christ? Whose Son is He? They say unto Him, The son of David- He sayeth unto them, How then doth David.in spirit call Him Lord? saying The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool- If Da¬ vid then called Him Lord, how is He his son?” (Matt- 22:41-45). NOTE: Another has aptly put this important truth con¬ cerning the human and the di¬ vine in Christ thus: “Divinity needed humanity that humani¬ ty might afford a channel of communication between God and man ” Man needs a power out of and above himself to restore him to the likeness of God. There must be a power working from within, a new life from above, before man can be changed from sin to holiness, and that power is Christ. Welcome to the Trenton Bap¬ tist church LOUISE DANIEL. Scientific Crime Lab Sought For Georgia Acting on motion of Governor Ellis Arnall, the State Public Safety Board, of which the Gov¬ ernor is chairman, has recom¬ mended the establishment of a scientific crime laboratory at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation headquarters. The action furather recom¬ mends that $6,500 be set aside for the purchase of the equipment, and that Dr. Herman Jones, tox¬ icologist and ballistics expert be employed as director. Recom¬ mendations of the board are sub¬ ject to the approval of the State Budget Commission. The board also approved the purchase of 89 new automobiles for the uniformed division of the State Patrol and gave permis¬ sion to the director of the De¬ partment of Public Safety to bring the patrol to its authorized strength of 200 as soon as pos¬ sible. The board urged the Legisla¬ ture to increase the maximum strength of the patrol to 250. and voted to establish a patrol divis¬ ion headquarters at Cordele, pro¬ vided that the city erects a suit¬ able building and deeds it to the Department of Public Safety. Governor To Confer With States Solons LEGISLATIVE AGENDA BEING ARRANGED FOR SMOOTH PASSAGE IN JANUARY Looking forward to a harmo¬ nious and constructive adjourn¬ ed session in January, Governor Ellis Arnall has been planning a series of conferences with members of the General Assem¬ bly during the next five weeks. In these conferences, the Gov¬ ernor and legislators are work¬ ing on the agenda for the ses¬ sion and to devise methods of clearing up the home-rule stat¬ ute- Also, they will consider what local bills have an emer¬ gency status and need- insist¬ ently to be passed, and other¬ wise work to prevent calendar congestion. The meetings are purposed to arrange for smooth, quick pass¬ age of every proposed bill not wholly out of harmony with the Administration, and which can secure Assembly approval- Arnall and the two presiding officers of the House and Sen¬ ate are in thorough accord as to Georgia’s needs and what should be done in behalf of the State, the Governor said- “This Administration,” assert¬ ed the Governor, “is concerned with rendering to the people the broadest possible public services consistent with the financial stability of the State- We par¬ ticularly are anxious to enlarge services in the fields of educa¬ tion and health. By the wise enactment of the General As¬ sembly, we are undertaking to render expanded services to our returning war veterans and are moving forward in many fields that properly should receive at¬ tention from the State. “The January session of the General Assembly will offer a splendid opportunity for the Legislature to survey the State’s financial situation and deter¬ mine how we can provide en¬ larged services to the limit of the State’s financial ability. I have conferred with President Gross of the Senate and Speaker Harris of the House. There is no disagreement between us as to the needs of Georgia and what should be done.”
