THE ONE WHO TAKES MY
PLACE
(From the Volume “Time Copy,”
by Raymund Daniel)
When I am all through and
someone takes my place,
Will he tread the same old path
and go the same old pace?
Have the same old run of luck,
the same old rush.
Begin where I left off, or start
his work anew?
Find the same old joys, and know
the same old fears,
The fear, the loss, the gain, the
smiles and tears—
And face the same old cares and
fight the same old fights,
Or battle as he knows the wrong
and seeks the right.
II
So—oft I wish that I might know
his face
The one, who’ll come some day
to take my place.
There’s much that I might tell,
much that I might show
For the path he’ll take is hard
and far to go.
There’s a burden I might save,
task that I might clear,
Might show him to a sin, where
others find a tear;
Might hear him ask that God
shall give me grace
When I am all through and some I
one takes my place.
“BUT TO LOVE HIM”
“None knew him but to love
him; nor named him but to
praise.” The words written by
Fitz Green Halleck can be well
applied to Rev. Shelton E. Adarrfs
in charge of the Chattooga Dis
trict of the North Georgia Meth
odist conference. He lives at Ly
erly.
Young, bouyant and yet suf
ficiently seasoned, Minister.
Adams is well equipped for the
work in God’s vineyard. He is de
voting his life to service of God,
and humanity. He is building
well his foundations for God.
He has charge at Lyerly, Oak
Hill and Menlo.
There is no one in the circuit ;
more loved than Mr. Adams. He
possesses the confidence of his
members and friends in a con
fidence he has never violated.
Much is in store for this noble
representative of the Master.
FISHES—BUT NOT STORY
This is a true, honest-to-good
ness fish story. It concerns a leg
itimate catch and a gift of the
catch.
The Abrams of Lyerly were
awakened one night recently by
a deputation of friends with fish,
which were caught by Will H.
Smith of Lyerly, at Guntersville,
Ala., for Rev. B. D. (Bill) Ricks,
pastor of the First Baptist
Church, Mr. Abrams and other
friends. They were mostly tasty
brim.
WHY THEY LIKE CHOCOLATES
In addition to being one of the
most attractive young women,
Miss Tessie Cook, who is a sales
lady at a Lyerly store, where
they sell “sweets,” is, perhaps,!
the most reticent. She is much
like a Chinese translator Time
Copy knows. A Chinaman and
Time Copy were carrying on a
conversation through an inter
preter. Finally the Chinaman
talked for nearly 10 minutes. At
last the translator said: “He say
yes."
THE REAL REASON
A small 14-year-old friend, Joe
Williams, was in the store and
Time Copy asked the charming,
Miss Cook what flavor had the
lead. “Chocolate,” said Miss Cook I
“Why chocolates,” asked the lad j
“Because they like them best,”
replied Miss Cook. Joe is the son
of Postmaster J. C. Williams of
Lyerly.
KIND DEED BY LAD
A few moments later Joe “did
his good turn daily.” He, on a
wheel, passed Time Copy, with
bundles. Voluntarily, Joe rode up
to the sidewalk and asked Time
Copy if he (Joe) could not take,'
Time Copy’s packages in his
wheel basket?
“LITTLE CLEANER GIRL”
Her real name is Mrs. J. M.
(Becky) Copeland, but we call
her the “Little Cleaner Girl.”
She works at a Lyerly cleaning
establishment. In fact, by her
sweet and efficient service, she
is the cleaning establishment.
Then she looks like every stitch
and hem was freshly laundered.
She is as efficient as she is kind
and charming.

JUNIOR RED CROSS
PRODUCTION QUOTA
FINISHED FOR YEAR
Junior Red Cross members of
Chattooga County have finished
their quota of production for this
school year. Since Jan. 1 they
have made tray and table favors
typifying Valentine’s Day, St.
Patrick’s Day, George Washing
ton’s birthday, and Easter. These
; favors were made by boys and
girls in the Lyerly, Subligna and
■ Summerville schools for patients
in the Naval Hospital at Dublin,
> Georgia.
Three afghans have been sent
; to the Station Hospital at Fort
Benning. Two of these were
; made by the Summerville High
School pupils. The other was
(made by Summerville pupils in
i one section of the seventh grade.
Exerpts from two of the let
r ters of appreciation are given
below:
, 1. “The happiness of Easter
time prevailed throughout the
I hospital last Sunday. The day
j began with a sunrise service on
, the roof, followed by the regular
i chapel services and an egg hunt
in the afternoon. Your attrac-
I tive Easter nut cups and favors
.! were appreciated by all and es
ipecially the bed patients. The
; favors brightened not only their
trays, but their day as well.”
2. “We have received the three
afghans which you notified us
were coming from the Summer
ville pupils. They are very color
ful and beautifully made. We
appreciate them very much, es
pecially since they were made
by the boys and girls. The Jun
ior Red Cross has proved inval
uable to us in our hospital pro
gram.
“Please express our thanks to
the students for their thought
fulness in helping us in so many
, different ways.”
One of the most important
phases of the Junior Red Cross
program is the local help given.
The following are some things
that have been done for local
i people: Making and buying of
clothes for children, paying for
school lunches, getting more
adequate first-aid supplies in the
schools, and making afghan for
county home.
Naval Reserve
Week Endorsed
Acting Gov. M. E. Thompson
has “heartily agreed” to pro
claim the week of May 18-25 as
Naval Reserve Week. He en
dorsed the plan for recruiting
naval reserve personnel in Geor
gia proposed by Rear Adm. L. T.
Dubose, commandant of the 6th
Naval District, in a conference
with naval reserve officials last
week. Co-operation with the
drive by civic organizations was J
urged by the governor.

sunlight, too, and “brightened

WILL GIVE TOWN AID .... I
, Intimations are that there is j
under consideration by women
of Lyerly the formation of an j
organization for the betterment I
of the municipality. Among the
reported program features is the
installation of a traffic system
which will curb the speed of au-
Itomobiles at highway intersec
tions, where the danger is great
est. Other improvements, it is
said, are planned.
LYERLY—A MAN’S TOWN
Not since Smiling John Smiley,
the philosopher of the Chattooga
hills, left for Alabama has there
been a more wise upholder of
ideals than M. M. Allen, who re
cently moved from Summerville
to Lyerly. First of all, Mr. Allen
is a fisher—not a fisherman, but
'a FISHER. It is now his life’s
occupation. Among his repeated
declarations is the statement —
i “Lyerly is a man’s town. Men
I fish and the women do the
work.” Another opinion is: “Let
go and get God.” Mr. Allen is full
lof philosophy.

UNDER PARTY BAN; '
BOLTERS BARRED
Members of the General As
sembly who voted for Herman
Talmadge on the night of Jan.
13, 1947, when he was unlawful
ly “elected” as governor are not
barred from the Democratic
party. Many of them did so un
der the belief that their action
was legal and required by the
Constitution of the state. The
Democratic convention’s rule
barring bolters from party af
lairs, either as candidates or
party officers, applies tn those
who took part in the “November
bolt,” by which an independent
i candidate was entered againstl
I the Democratic nominee for gov
| ernor. --
i The rule affects the political
fortunes of some widely known
Georgia politicians, chief among
whom are Roy V. Harris, former
House speaker and leader of the
Cracker party, who announced
last month that Herman Tal
madge would be a candidate for
governor in 1948; Herman Tal
madge, who sought election as I
governor in opposition to the
1946 party nominee and whose
midnight seizure of the state
capitol resulted in his ouster by
a Supreme Court ruling; James
Peters, former chairman of the
state committee in 1940-41 and
chairman of the 1946 conven
tion, who supported the move.

primary next year, attempt to
i call the 1946 convention, formal-
Ily adjourned last week, back
