GLENWOOD HAS NEXT
SINGINGCONVENTION.
The singing convention held
held on the first Sunday in Octo
ber has been judged by a great
many, to me, as the best we ever
held at all.
Os course, any one that was
present sawv e had the people,
the best singers and leaders we
ever had. It was impossible to
use all the leaders present—some
going away without being able to
geta chance at the floor, a con
dition that could not be helped.
Time will not permit.
It is further estimated that
Alamo had on that day one of the
largest gatherings of people in
its history. I want to say that a
letter received from the Ortner
family brings good news of the
time they had here Thanking
the convention as a whole and the
famines that took care of them
while they were in our midst, for
courtesies and consideration
shown them. They want to come
back at a time when all of their
family can come.
Now for Glenwood on the sth
Sunday in November. I have full
and complete arrangements
made with “Vaughn’s Happy
Two.’’ These people do nothing
but sing for a living; so you may
know they have to be good, mak
ing a living singing these kind
of times. With these two gentle
men, Wilson and Sebern, will be
Col. Lawton Bracewell and Prof.
A. H Gay, of Atlanta. These
four together are about the best
that can be had. Reserve a place
for something great, good and
helpful on that day.
Now to get these Ungers to
Glenwood on the sth Sunday.
They want five nights the follow
ing week a school house and
church for concerting.
Please let me know if you can
use them. Confer with your
church authorities and school
trustees and make arrangements,
so that they can get out Adver
tisements.
These boys are now singing at
holiness camp meeting in State
of Ohio, an annual affair for them.
They conduct the singing at this
meeting—have for years.
Let every one interested in the
day at Glenwood boost it. We can
have just as big day as you care
to make it.

DICKERSON RULES
ACTIS ILLEGAL
Douglas, Ga., Nov. 2. —Judge
M. D. Dickerson, of the Way cross
circuit in chambers in Douglas
yesterday held unconstitutional
an act of the legislature making
the tax collector of Bacon coun
ty, ex officio sheriff for the pur
pose of levying tax fi fas issued
by the tax collector of Bacon
county with power to advertise
and sell the property. The tax
collector levied a large number of
tax fi fas for 1929 taxes and the
tax payers attacked the act by
injunction claiming that the Bac
on county tax act was local in its
nature and in conflict with a gen
eral law, in that the act provided
that it should apply to all count
ies in Georgia having a populat
ion according to the 1920 census
of not less than a given number
and not more than a given num
ber.
Judge Dickerson gave consid
erable study to the question and
finally reached the conclusion
that the act was local in its na
ture because it was not so word
ed as to become ap Jicable to
counties, which in the future
might have the population named
in the act and was therefore not
flexible so as to take into its ap
plication counties of the 1930
censusor of future census’ com
ing within the purview of the
act. The act was therefore held
to be in conflict with the general
law providing bow property
should be levied on and sold un
der tax fi fan and the injunction
was granted.
This decision will perhaps
effect a great many counties in
Georgia as quite a number of
counties have secured the pas
sage of similar acts within the
past few years.
Oak Grove School News.
An outstanding event of the
week was a Hallowe’en party and
box supper given on Hallowe’en
evening, October 31, at Oak Grpvd
school building.
An interesting program was
rendered by Misses Ruby Wolfe,
Romie Clark, Lorine Clark, Ber
nice Fowler, Hazel Blankinship
and Mrs. L. M. Pope. After the
program games were played, viz:
Bobbing for apples, chewing for
raisins, fortune telliug, etc.
The table was filled high with
lovely boxes of edibles. The box
es were auctioned off by Col. W.
B. Kent, of Alamo, and it was
due his ingenuity that a neat lit
tle sum was raised for the pur
pose of buying new black boards
A hearty contest was held in
which Miss Ruby Wolf was voted
the prettiest and most popular
girl in Wheeler county.
Candy and boiled peanuts were
sold. A nice large cake was given
to one who held lucky number
13.
The people of the community
and the teacher wish to thank
Col. Kent for his large contribu
tion to a successful evening. We
also wish to thank each one who
prepared a box. Cooperation is
the life of anything.

Mr. J. F. Sikes returned home
Sunday from Booth, Alabama
and Columbus, where he visited
relatives for several weeks. His
many friends were glad to see
him return, and learn that he
continues to improve in health
Another paradox is that only
by remaining a slave to art may
one become its master.
ALAMO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1930
OLD LANDMARK IS
CONSUMED BY FIRE
This morning about eleven
o’clock one of the oldest build
ingd in the town was discovered
on fire, owned by Mr. J.F.Sikes,
occupied by a tenant, Charlie
Guyton. The fire is supposed to
have originated from the stove,
as the fire was first discovered
in the top of the cook room, fan
ned by a heavy wind, the build
ing and contents were soon con
sumed.
The building was erected about
eighty years ago, the body
being built of logs, but had been
added to. Mr. Sikes lived in this
bulding until he moved to his
present home. It is said that the
building was erected in 1850 by
the late Judge Mcßae, and was
also occupied by he and family.
Os late years it has been used
by Mr. Sikes as a tenant house,
the present occupant having
been with Mr. Sikes for a num
ber of years. The top was falling
in when discoverd and only a few
small items were saved. Guyton
si one of the most reliable and de
pendable colored men in thid
county. He is a bard worker ans
attends strictly to his affairs.
No insurance was carried on
the puilding.
Psychological note: If he car'
ries his small chinge in a purse
he is probably a tig it wad.

Everywhere we pass the
children with their school
books! And it comes to U 3, with
a little shock, that Summer is al
most gone—that the winter-long
round of studies is beginning all
over again.
For the mothers, too, in homes
from which these children come,
school days make a cem-led diibr
ence. The family schedule now is
regulated by the classroom clock.
And many a mother find:- that the
lunch hour is the most trying time
of the entire day.
Particularly annoying is the prob
lem of planning dishes that Include
generous quantities of milk. Plenty
of milk must be in the diet of every
growing child, yet many boys and
girls quickly tire of drinking it;
and mother must use strategy to
get this food necessity in the daily
menu.
Listed below are a number of re
cipe and menu suggestions that
should prove helpful to any mother
who must face the school lunch
problem. Try them, and see how
delightfully they will serve to keep
milk’s healthy glow in the child
ren’s sanes.

None Too Old To Learn
Often one hears an uneducated
man bewail his lot, complaining
that he never had a chance to ac
quire an education. Usually such
a man is one who actually abors
not more than eight hours a day.
He overlooks the fact that he
could easily devote three or faur
hours daily to profitable reading
and study, whereby he might
overcome the handicap of which
he complains.
Too many get the idea that un
less they acquire an education in
early life they must remain in
ignorance. No greater mistake
can be made. It is not when one
begins to learn, but when one
stops, that counts.
The trouble with the man or
woman who goes through life in
ignorance is usually nothing but
sheer ’aziness. Think of Lincoln,
getting an education at night
from borrowed books, studied
by the light from a fireplace. Or
of Andrew Johnsoo, who only
learned to wright after he was
married, and received an ele
mentary education through his
wife’s instruction. Yet both rose
to the office of President of the
United States.
How great the opportunities
of even the humblest today, in
compaaison with those of Lin
coln and Johnson. Books maga
zines and newspapers are within
the reach of all. Machinery has
given everyone greater leisure
for self improvement, if such is
really desired.
No one need remain uneducat
ed unless he deliberately chooses
to remain so.
