Howdy, Folks
BY REV. B. L. BETTS
AT BERRYTON—
The regular preaching service at
Berryton will be held next Sunday
at 11 a.m. I have always liked the
Berryton people and am looking
forward to the time we will worship
together.
AT LYERLY—
Last Sunday was our day at Ly
erly. To an attentive congregation
after a Sunday school session that
had been real interesting, I was
privileged to preach. Lyerly has a
custom for all those who have had
a birthday to come forward and
place a penny for every yaar the
giver has lived in the jar for birth
day offerings. I saw Brother Fletch
er Cochran put a dollar in it. Sure
ly he isn’t as old as the offering
suggests.
AT TRION —
In the absence of the pastor, who
attended a dedication service at
Union Point, I missed the fine N.
Y. F. meeting and the excellent ad
dress of Prof. Lovett in Lyerly, and
went with Brother Copeland to
Trion to substitute for Brother Har
rell.
We reached Trion in time for a
part of the N. Y. F. service, which
we fully enjoyed, and then every
courtesy it was possible to show a
visitor was shown us at the preach
ing hour. God bless the good peo
ple of Trion.

OSCAR R. FLETCHER, Manager
M. Cochran, has passed another
milestone in the journey of .life;
his birthday having been on Tues
day, Oct. 17, and,
Whereas the F. M. Cochran Bible
class of the Lyerly Methodist church
wishes to observe this event; there
fore,
Be it resolved, (1) that we take
the present occasion to express to
him our desire for his happiness,
welfare and preservation in health
as the years of the future unfold;
(2) that we remind him of our pro
found appreciation of his services
in the many years he has been our
teacher. He has been punctual in
attendance, faithful to his task and
prepared in mind and heart at all
times; (3) that we assure him of
our co-operation in building a
better class, church and commu
nity. Signed Arthur Ray, Chele

They are Arthur Ray, his good
wife, Shirley Bell; Robert and Ser
geant Joe Sam Ray. Brother Ar

brother-in-law in the armed serv
ices. Does anybody in Chattooga
county beat that record?
Mrs.‘Betts, Mrs. John Rogers,
Half-Pint, Quart Cup and Miss Isa
Stancil were my fellow guests of

FARMERS’ BUREAU—
Last Saturday found me on the
way to the Farmers’ Bureau barbe
cue at Dr. Selman’s lodge outside
Gore, Ga.
My good friend, Charlie Brooks,
made my heart rejoice by inviting
me, and he introduced me to his
friends just like he felt real proud

of me. That was nice, wasn’t it?
Hon. Henderson Lanham, Judge
Claude Porter and Hon. Tom Linder
were among those making good
speeches.
The barbecue was a success in
every way. 'Since we have twice as
many banks in Chattooga county
as we had last year, it may be we
could celebrate this march of prog
ress by having another barbecue.
We could call it the bank deposi
tors’ barbecue or just say “bankers’
barbecue.”
UNUSUAL—
Chief Daniel Brooks, of the Ly
erly police department, showed me
his collard patch with one collard
appearing to be six feet from stem
to stem.
Brother W. D. Hawkins tells me
he has a cat which brings him a
young rabbit for breakfast every
morning and a dog which brings
him an o’possum for supper every
night. I would like to buy his cat
and dog.
SANTA CLAUS—
Turnip greens from Chief Brooks,
variety of vegetables from Arthur
Ray and barbecue from Dr. Selman.
Yum! Yum! Yum!

The fourth quarterly conference
