LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
TWO ROADS WHICH
MAN CAN TRAVEL
There are two roads which man
can take; one is broad and the
gate is wide, the other is a nar
row way and the gate is in like
manner narrow. Man is in a
world that will pass away; also,
man’s body is made of the same
material and endureth only for
a season.
There is an earthly kingdom |
and a heavenly Kingdom, so the
Good Book tells us. Man is a free
agent to make a choice as to’
which one he may choose. The
earthly kingdom appeals to ;
man’s earthly nature and resists,
the appeal which comes and of- |
fers to him a life more abundant
and far more lasting, but leaves
man to choose the way he wishes
to go. No one can follow both
roads at the same time, but there
is an appeal made from both
sides. The earthly side seems to
be the stronger; but as man jour
neys on and disappointments
arise, he then begins to think on
where it all ends, and what he
may expect when this earthly
house ends.
Then what is next?
The appeal that is made thru
the gospel to accept the mercies
of a Christ and live has been put
o.i so long it seems almost im
possible to right-about.
Habit becomes second nature
and unless some strong soul takes
a hand and becomes a go-between
and compels the mto enter the
Kingdom, they will die outside of
the Kingdom and suffer the loss [
of their soul. Man can grow so
weak and lose his will power that
he can hardly act unless someone
takes hold and compels them to
enter.
I have experienced some of the
things I am writing about, but
unless someone had come and
took hold of me with firmness
and with love, I was ready to die
and wished I had never been
born. Don’t judge a man or re
fuse to welcome his appeal in
your behalf by judging him un
worthy when he seeks to life at
your load.

HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL
The Halloween carnival, given
last Thursday night by the pri
mary and grammar schools, was
quite a success. Approximately
$350 was made. This money is to
oe used for much-needed im
provements in the two buildings.
The goal planned lor the primary
building is to have a lavatory in
each room, so that the little chil
dren will have a place to Wash
their hands before going to
lunch. Their share of the money
will go towards achieving this
goal.
There are many things needed
in the grammar school. The mon
ey made in this building is being
divided equally among the 12
rooms. Each teacher will spend
the money for things needed in
her room. Window shades are
badly needed in many of the
rooms.
The parents were very helpful
in making the carnival a suc
cess. The teachers and children
wish to thank them and also the
following for their donations and
help:

JACK BAILEY JAILED ON
CAR THEFT CHARGE
Jack Bailey, a young white man
about 25 years of age, was jailed
a few days ago on a charge of
stealing a car belonging to G. W.
Barrow, of Birmingham, Ala. Mr.
Barrow, a salesman who covers
this territory for an auto parts
concern, had picked Bailey up at
Armuchee, on his plea that he
was hitch-hiking to Trion to visit
a sick relatives. When Barrow
stopped in front of the L. B. Har
rell store, just south of Trion,
and went inside leaving Bailey in
the car, Bailey promptly drove
off, going north through Trion,
then heading east through Moun
tain View and on to Subligna.
Bailey freely admits the theft of
the car, and states it was aban
doned on the streets of Dalton.
However, to date, it has not been
located.
Bailey returned to Trion a few
days later, obtained a job there
and had just reported for work
when he was recognized and ar
rested by Chief of Police Brown.
At a preliminary trial before
Squire Tom Brown, Bailey was
ordered held under bond of sl,-

How Homer Got
His Black Eye
I guess the kids in our town are
no different from any other. When
Homer Bentley (that’s Cy Bentley’s
boy) gave Tommy Hartman a black
eye, Tommy sent his older brother
Bert to hang a shiner onjo Homer.
Well, you can forgive kids for
believing two wrongs can make a
right. You know they’ll learn bet
ter. But you can't forgive grown
ups for making that mistake!

to immoderate drinking. Folks who
talk in favor of it must have for

GILBERT RETURNED
TO JAIL HERE
J. C. Gilbert, a young white
man who recently broke out of
jail here and flet to Tennessee,
was captured last Thursday by
Deputy Sheriffs Westbrooks and
Martin. Gilbert was located at
the home of his sister near Chat
toogaville, and offered no resist

Gilbert and a companion in the
jailbreak, Robert Zahnd, were
jailed in Chattanooga following
their escape here. They fought

Gov. Jim McCord, of Tennessee,
