(J. G. Kirckhoff, Pastor.)
A man wanted to drive a nail in the
wall to hang a large picture on. He
stood on a chair but was not high enough.
His wife put on a small box, and, bal
ancing himself precariously, he began to
give the nail hesitating taps with the
hammer. His wife said, “Why don’t you
give a brave blow or two, and settle it?”
He replied, “How can a man give a blow
or two when he is standing on a founda
tion like this?”
That settles the question of certainty
or uncertainty. It depends upon the
foundation on which the preacher or
teacher is standing. The Hebrew prophets
never sounded a note of uncertainty be
cause God Almighty was their founda
tion and they knew that God stood be
hind their “Thus saith the Lord.”

“Bound upon the accursed tree,
Dead and awful, who is he?
By the prayer for them that slew’—
‘Lord, they know not what they do!’
By the spoiled and empty grave;
By the souls he died to save;
By the conquest he hath won ;
By the saints before his throne;
By the rainbow round his brow;

IN MEMORY OF VV. H. FLOYD
Friday morning, March 7, 1939, the
gentle spirit of William Henson Floyd
took its flight to the realms beyond. He
died at his home in Rome, Ga., where he
has resided for the past thirty years. Mr.
Floyd had been in declining health for
several years, and a few days before his
passing, he was stricken with paralysis,
from which he never regained conscious
ness.
Mr. Floyd was a native of Chattooga
county, being born Sept. 18, 1870. He
had reached the age of 69 years. He was
the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John
B. Floyd, who were residents of Chat
tooga county, coming to the county while
the Indians were here.
Mr. Floyd married the former Miss Is
abelle Cargal Oct. 13, 1891. To this un
ion were born seven children, five sons
and two daughters. The sons are W. B.
J. Floyd, Eugene Floyd and Eldred
Floyd, of Rome, and C. D. Floyd, of
Chattanooga, and John H. Floyd, of
Gadsden, Ala. The daughters are Mrs. O.
T. Hudson, of Rome, and Mrs. Percy L.
Littleton, of Florence, Ala.
Mr. Floyd leaves to mourn his loss
these seven children and his widow, Mrs.
W. H. Floyd ; four brothers, C. E., Ed
ward and G. C. Floyd, of Summertille;
E. A. and DeForest Floyd, of La Fay
ette ; three sisters, Mrs. S. Allman and
Mrs. John Allman, of La Fayette, and
Mrs. Thomas Woods, of Summerville;
several grandchildren and one great
grandchild.
Mr. Floyd was an ordained minister of
the Baptist denomination, and while he
was in this county he was pastor of sev
eral churches, and took an active part in
the revival meetings of many of the
churches in this and adjoining counties.
He was an active member of the First
Baptist church in Rome for the last
years of his life.
Words of appreciation were spoken by
his former pastor and fellow helper in
the word for the Lord, Rev. H. F. Joy
ner, of Rome, and the services were held
in his former church in Summerville.
His body was laid to rest in the Sum
merville cemetery.
■ Mr. Floyd was a contractor, and erect
ed many buildings in Summervilel and in
Rome during his life.
He will be missed by all.
A FRIEND.
IN MEMORY OF VIRGINIA
CORNOR.
One week has passed, dear one,
Since God called you home,
To be with Him and the angels
Around the snow white throne.
No one knows of the sadness;
Only those who have lost can tell
Os the grief that is borne in silence
For the one we love so well.
In silence you suffered,
In patience you bore
’Til God called you home
To that bright and happy shore.
Seems so sad and lonely
As the long hours pass away;
But we long to meet you, dear one,
Up in heaven some sweet day.
All is dark within our home and school;
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we love so dearly
Has forever passed away.
She has gone but not forgotten,
Never will her memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts will ever linger
’Round the grave where she is laid.
We loved you; yes, we loved you,
But Jesus loved you more,
And He has sweetly called you
To yonder shining shore.
The golden gates were open;
A gentle voice said, Come,
And we farewells unspoken,
You calmly entered home.
Oh, dear one, she is waiting for us all
to meet her there where we all can be
together and there will be no more sad
partings when we meet our friend there
if we live as God wants us to.

GORE F. F. A.
By BILL KING.
Monday night, May 8, the district F.
F. A. speaking and quartet contests were
i held at Powdefr Springs. This was one of
■ four district contests held during the
week. The winner in each district won
a prize of $lO and the alternate a prize
of $5.
The winner of the speaking was Bill
: Boyd, of Fairburn. This is the third year
he has placed in these contests. Second
place was awarded to Willard Carson, of
Dawsonville, and Harold Storey, of
Gore, received third place.
The winners of the quartet contest
were Dallas, first; Valley Point, second,
| and Jonesboro, third.
The small grain demonstration has
improved greatly in the last few weeks.
The stand of grain is the same over the
j entire demonstration, but in the plots
i where nitrate of soda was applied the
i plants have grown more, become sitrong-
I er and a larger head which melans more
grain per acre has developed. Where no
Arcadian was applied there is a marked
difference in the vigor and development
of the grain. The yield from this plot is
expected to be quite a few bushels less
i than from the plots where different
amounts of Arcadian soda were applied.
There is a $2 prize for the person who
; guesses the nearest to the exact yield es
the four different plots. Cards for the
guessing may be gotten from Mr. Hendrix
at the demonstration or from Mr. Hib
ben at the Gore school. The Gore F.F.A.
chapter urges all fertilizer dealers and
farmers to come by the demonstration
and guess.
We believe that you will see the value
of using good nitrate of soda and at the

X /fWKZ X \BILLS CUT/
The Gordian Knot of Georgia’s fiscal
problem remains unsolved, to puzzle and
harass every citizen of the state. There
have been many efforts to state the prob
lem in simple language and clarify the
amazing snarl of tangled state and coun
ty and school finances. Most of these ef
forts at simplification have been in the
direction of discovering a political for
mula thait could arouse the people to an
acceptance of half-measures. Most of rhe
plans have been, at last analysis, plans
for political aggrandizement.
To many politicians, and to the uncau
tious among Georgia citizens who are con
cerned over the plight of the schools, the
agonized entreaties of the neglected and
forlorn old-age pensioners, the suspension
of the vital function of highway building
and the collapse of local services, the an
swer may appear to be: 'Provide more
money and the rest is easy.’ Upon waves
of oratory and argument, such an idea
has made some advance. It is recogniz
able that no civilization has exer endur
ed that neglected the twin cardinal fac
tors of road building and education. The
complexities of modern life have added
two additional factors: old-age assistance
and public health as requisites.
And Georgia is neglecting all four.
The schools of the state have been ham
pered grievously by want of money.
Teachers are going unpaid, if the schools
are open at all. We shall pay many
times over in ignorance, poverty and
crime for the ghastly mistake of the past
year in failing to finance the schools.
From the time of the first Pharoahs.
the building of roads has been the index
of civilization. Without adequate trans
portation, the products of agriculture rot
in the fields and barns; the market towns
wither and die because trade has vanish
ed ; employment is given a serious blow.
Today the State Highway Department of
Georgia not only has suspended virtually
all its functions of construction, but has
been ordered to curtail the work of main
taining the roads we now have, so that
they will speedily fall in ruins. Mainte
nance was suspended in one neighboring
state during the depression as ‘an econ
omy measure,’ and it has since been es
timated that for every dollar then ‘saved’
IN MEMORY
In memory of Thomas Lee Henderson,
who died April 22, 1939:
Two weeks have passed, Thomas Lee,
Since God has called yon home
To be with Him in heaven
Around the snow white throne.
No one knows of the sadness;
Only those who lost can tell
Os the grief that’s borne in silence
For the one we love so well.
’Tis sad to part with one we like
While here on earth we stay;
But then a brighter thought comes:
We will meet again some day.
Oh, how sudden death can take you,
In the twinkling of an eye;
We may meet with him in heaven.
Where there’ll be no more goodbyes.
No one knows how we miss you.
We think of you both day and night;
Though we know you wait in heaven
Where there’s love, peace and light.
You shall never be forgotten,
Your memory is too dear to fade,
Our fondest love will always linger
On the spot where you are laid.
Just two weeks ago today
God called you, Thomas Lee, away;
And our hearts are aching
As they were on that awful sad day.

same time will have an opportunity to
win the prize of $2 in connetion with the
' guessing content,
nearly four dollars has been spent in re
construction. Aside from the possible
loss of federal grants, this suspension of
highway work in our state may easily
cost Georgians $5,000,000 when recon
struction of neglected roads becomes ur
gent a few years hence.
The eleemosynary institutions of our
state are suffering. Although, in round
figures, it costs twice as much to main
tain a convict in one of our ‘public
works camps’ as it does a sick citizen at
the tubercular hospital at Alto or one
suffering from mental ills at the state
sanitarium. We can not find the- paltry
sums required for those undertakings and
insane persons are being turned back on
the counties and men and women ill
with tuberculosis are going without need
ed treatment.
The old-age pensioners find that money
is inadequate to meet the cost of operat
ing our system of public assistance. In
the same plight, but somewhat ignored by
political leaders because they lack the
ballot, are the dependent children of
Georgia.
Much of this can be mended by more
revenue, but, in final analysis, providing
more revenue would be a pallative in
stead of a cure unless some drastic re
visions are made in the state’s system of
financing, appropriating and administer
ing. It is essential that many changes,
even in the relationship between the state
and its 159 counties, be effected before
a system can be evolved that -will insure
Georgia against a recurrence of these
evils.
In this crisis it is most essential that
the public conscience be aroused both to
supply the needs of the state and to cor
rect the basic ills of our governmental
system so that these perennial crises in
state finance will occur no more. Pri
marily it was because public sentiment
had not crystalized that the assembly
went home without writing a new rev
enue bill. And the legislature will not
meet again—at least in an effective ses
sion—until the minds of Georgians have
been made up as to what is needed, what
is desired and how much we are willing
to pay to keep what we have and go
forward.
LIGHTNING STRIKES BED,
BUT SLEEPERS ARE UNHURT
QUITMAN. Wilson Sheffield and
his wife and child escaped unhurt
when a lightning bolt hit their house
and literally splfritered the head post of
the wooden bedstead on which the three
were sleeping. They are negroes living
with Wilson's father. Aaron Sheffield.
During the severe thunderstorm in
the early hours of last Friday morning
the lightning bolt descended. It first
hit a pine tree back of the house, then
it hit the radio aerial and burned it In
two, hit the clothesline stretched in the
back yard and tore up all the posts to
which the line was attached. When it
hit the bed the wooden post was re
duced to splinters and the bed collaps
ed on the floor with the sleepers scar
ed half to death.
They think the only reason that they
were not killed was that their time had
not come.
