PARSONAGE MOVE
GETS UNDERWAY
In order to acquaint everybody
with just what was proposed to be
built Rev. C. M. Lipham prepared
an extensive exhibit and had it on
diplay at the Church last Sunday.
The exhibit was explained in some
detail and every one was pleased
with the plans, and the committee
has asked the pastor to place on fur
ther exhibit the plans in the show
window of R. H. Wootten’s where
the entire comunity can see the
building and Realize what a great
improvement it will be. And every
one is invited to heartily inspect
these plana.
The ladies of the church have
corue forward and enthusiastically
taken up the work and divided them
selves into seven circles each with a
chairman and propose to lend every
aid possible for a woman’s hand.
They expect to launch many fine
movements to materially aid the
building and the equiping of the par
sonage.
The church roalizes that this
movement is so eminently proper
and their oportunity is so inviting in
having a pastor who not only can
furnish a solution of the problem in
making complete plans and specifi
cations, but who can execute the
building in every detail. The Union
Recorder predicts that in a little
while the people of Milledgevillewill

The services of Mr. L. E. Swain
as Farm Agent for Baldwin County,
will be retained for the year 1923.
'This was practically decided at a
called meeting of the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners held last Friday,
at which time an appropriation of
$1,200.00 was made towards the
salary of an agent.
Mr. J. T. Oliver, State agent from
the College of Agriculture was in
the City, and appeared before the
Board. He presented to them the
importance of retaining the services
of an agent, and spoke in the high
est terms of Mr. L. E. Swain, who
was recognized as one of the best
men in the work. He suggested to
the Commissioners an appropriation
of $1,800.00 in order to continue
the services of Mr. Swain, and State
and Federal appropriation of $1200
would be added to this amount.
A number of citizens were present
uad made talks urging favorable con
sideration of the proposition, they
were: Capt. J. H. Ennis, Messrs T.
H. Clark, Dixon Williams, Geo. W.
Hollinshed and others. All of them
pointed out the benefit that had
come to the county through the ser
vices of Mr. Swain.
Capt. Fnnis in his talk stsated that
the benefits derived froip the work
of an agent were far reaching, as
one skilled in the methods of farm
ing set in motion influences, which
spread throughout the county, as
modern methods adopted by one far
mer in a community would be taken
up by others as a natural result.
The County Commissioners went
into executive session and agreed
that they would make an appropia-
tion of $1200.00 and suggested that
the remaining $600.00 be raised by
individual subscription. $60.00 were
subscribed by indivdual members of
the Board.
Those who’ve been most interest
ed are confident that the necessery
amount will be raised, and Mr.
Swaiu will remain as Farm Agent.
Mr. Swain during the two years he
has served as Agent in Baldwin Co
unty, has rendered the most effic
ient service, and his work has been
far reaching. He is in bettor posi
tion now than he ever was, to carry
on the work, as he has become ac
quainted with the farmers of the
county, and is in touch with the
farming methods of the county. The
services of Mr. Swain are in demand
and he has recently received several
flatering offers.

MEMORIAL EXERCISES WILL BE
HELD IN HONOR OF LATE DR.
L M. JONES, AND HIS SUC
CESSOR AS SUPERINTENDENT
WILL P.E ELECTED.
Between the hours of 1:30 and
2:30 p. in., on Monday, 15th, ins;.,
there will bo shown here at the Col
onial Theatre a motion picture the
title of which is “White Magic".
There will be no admission charge to
see this picture, and every one is in
vited. It will be particularly inter
esting to the farmer and his wife,
and to the business man who is in
terested in agriculture. While a ro
mance is woven in tho picture to
give plot to the story, and to prevent
the hard, cold facts, which are driv
en home, from becoming wearisome;'
the primary object of the picturo is
to show the benefits to be derived
from the use of Nitrate of Soda as
a fertilizer under cotton. The pic
ture depicts actual scenes and shows
in graphic manner the difference in
the yields of plots of cotton under
boll weevil conditions where nitrate
is used and where it is not. This
screen production is being presented
by Wm. S. Myors, Director, Chilean
Nitrate Committtee, 25 Madison,
Ave., New York City, through the
courtesy of the management of tho
Colonial Theatre, and as it is educa
tional in its theme as well as enter
taining, looking to the betterment of
agricultural conditions, we do not
hesitate to recommend to our read
ers that they witness the showing of
this pieture, as we feel sure it will
be interesting and instructive.
