Joy dawned again on Easter Day, The sun shone out with fairer ray, When, to their longing eyes restored The apostles saw their risen Lord. His risen flesh with radiance glowed His wounded hands and feet he showed: Those scars their silent witness gave That Christ was risen from the grave. O Jesus, King of gentleness, Do thou our Inmost hearts possess; And we to thee will ever raise The tribute or our grateful praise. All praise, O risen Lord, we give To thee, who, died, again dost live; To God the Father equal praise, And God the Holy Ghcxst, we raise. Amen. Rev.

Agriculture before farmers voted on adoption of price sup- 1 port plan that inequities in pu- blic law 2 72 would be elimin- ' a t e d. Am especially interested i n cotton acreage allotment and know P. L. 272 has worked many foreseen injustices to cotton farmers due to frozen acreage Even with H. J. Res. 398 in ef- feet, Department of Agriculture estimates less than 21 million acres will be planted to cotton in 1950 ’ Your failure to sign ' promptly H. J. Res. 398 will force hordes of tenants from larger farms without chance of other employment. The situa- tion is serious, Henderson Lanham, M. C. Seventh District, Ga. -o-- Along Our Highways The State Highwcy Patrol was * n Dade County Saturday after¬ noon and evening and Sunday evening. No highway violation were turned in to the Or¬ dinary. This is rather remark¬ able in that this was also the time that the new 1950 tags had I to be on our cars. We had at least two highway accidents last week. One jeep turned over several times in Rising Fawn. It is reported the driver was under the influence of liquor. No one hurt. The other accident was on that bad stretch of road south of Trenton, our Visiting Tea¬ cher, Mrs. Gardner’s car slipped, .skidded and ended-in the ditch, badly damaged. Mrs. Gardner, fortunately, was only bruised and shaken, j How do we expect to improve our communities when we keep dumping tin cans and other. -trash along the banks of our highways? Mary Beth Bible weds Wendell Shipley Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bible announce the marriage of their daughter, Mary Beth to Wendell Shipley cf East Chatta¬ nooga, Tenn. -The wedding ser¬ vice was held at the home of the officiating Minister, Rev.

The service was opened by two solos, “Because” and “I Love You Truly,” sung and played by two friends of Mary Beth at Interstate Ins., Co. Then to the strains of “Here Comes The Bride,” Prince Kendall best man and the groom entered the room, where about 30 friends and relatives were waiting and t >ok their places before a flower banked lighted candle Altar. They were follow¬ ed by the maid of honor, Miss Willow Dean Tepleton and lastly the bride looking lovely in a light blue spring suit, with navy accessories and carrying a white Testament topped by a beauti¬ ful white Orchid and white rib¬ bon streamers. Rev. Harris read the very impressive double ring ceremony concluded by a solemn prayer that the young couple might always be happy and true to their vows in their new re¬ lationship. After the ceremony, pictures were taken and all the friends and relatives repaired to the heme of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Shipley, the groom’s parents, where awaited a big wedding cake to be cut by the bride and afterward served to all guests with delicious punch. More pictures were taken at the re¬ ception after which we all left wishing the happy couple a long and happy matrimonial journey.

I dropped in at the meeting in Town Hall last week just in time to hear Smiley Roberts. “The curfew is old-fashioned,” says Smiley. “We ought to be grown-up enough by now to behave like grownups. Seeing to it that our kids get to bed is the responsi¬ bility of each family.” Then Judge Cunningham adds, “Most of us are in bed when the curfew horn blows anyway. It wakes me up just when I’m getting to sleep!” What the Judge said was good New Salem Home H. D. Club met The Home Demonstration Club met in New Home Com¬ munity the 29th at the home of Mrs. Charley Ballard. Twelve members were present with 3 new members joining.

Ice tand the ground frozen. for a laugh, but Smiley juet about summed up how folks think in this town. We believe that the demo¬ cratic tradition of “live and let live” is the only way to live. From where I sit, it’s not the American way to regulate your life by a horn— anymore than it’s right to criticize my caring for a temper¬ ate glass of beer now and then. Think what you wish, say what you wish, but don’t ask your neighbor to do exactly as you do! ^OC tytaAJjZ, 1950, United States Brewers Foundntiot,
