Richard N. Gunn and John C.
Gunn. From Mud Greek, Bun

and James Hendley, Jr. Then
Jane, Chaney and Susan, colored
women belonging to Henry
Might—totaling 81. Rev’s, Rad
ford Gunn, J. Q. West and Wil
liam L. Tucker were present to
receive these members and rec
ognize the body as a Baptist
church. The constitution, cov
enant and decorum were copied
from the earlier churches of the
same faith and were accepted
and appropriated by the new
church.
Radford Gunn was chosen as
moderator at the first
which was held immediately af
ter the organization of the
church and Evans McCrary
made clerk. Two deacons were
chosen and ordained.
were Samuel Hall and Aaron
Jackson and the three ministers
present performed the
tion service.
Radford Gunn is the same
man whom one can trace thru
Warren and adjoining counties
in his efforts to broaden the
field of the Baptist denomina
-tion. He must have been a man
of unswerving faith and indom
itable energy. He is found
couraged and strengthening the
churches in their early efforts
and ever readj r to assist a broth
er preacher in time of need. He
immediately accepted the call
New Providence, doubtless feel
ing that the members of the
church would need to catch the
inspiration of his virility, em
thusiasm and his strengtli of
character. After choosing a pas
tor thev v went immediately J into
the selection of delegates to at
tend the next Georgia Associa
tion, who were to request that
the church be accepted and if
accepted, to represent the church
in the deliberations of that body.
Henry Hight and Thomas Avery
were elected

Chevrolet Six Gains
In Production In 1932
Nearly one out of every three
new automobiles bought in the
first six months of this
was a Chevrolet Six,
to registration figures for
period, which are now
Latest State reports show that
Chevrolet titled 215,811
sixes in this period, while
industry as a whole was titling
055,764 new cars, giving the
largest division of General Mo
tors 32.9 per cent of the total. *
This compares with 31 per
cent in the same period of 1931;
with 24 per cent in the first half
of 1930 and with only 20 per
cent in the boom year of 1929 up
to midyear.
Ten years ago, when the
pany volume was getting its start in the!
car field, it obtained less
than ten per cent of total busi
ness.
During the first half of 1932
Chevrolet sold and titled more
cars than the next fiv e other
makes of lowest priced cars
combined, the returns indicate;
Chevrolet’s total comparing with
combined regisftrations of 212,-
115 units for the other five
makes in the lowest priced field.
In its present position, it is
the world’s largest builder of
automobiles, having obtained a
higher percentage of total busi
ness so far this year than at any
time in the past, even during
the three of the past five full
years, when Chevrolet built and
sold more cars than any other
manufacturer.

He has been actively engaged
in operating a good size mercan

it still engaged in both these ac

high plane' of Christian living
and will not be contaminated
with what is known as political

Every vote cast for him for
commissioner of agriculture will
be cast for a man who will
stand fearlessly at all times for
the interest of the agricultural
citizenship of Georgia.

Great Problem of the Human Race ■
NEW DISCOVERY BRINGS LASTING RELIEF TO THOUSANDS
Medical Authorities Agree That Old Fashioned
Purgatives, Salts, Oils, Cathartics and Laxatives

Remarkable Treatment Discovered
The commonest and greatest curse of mankind is consti
pation. It is man’s greatest enemy. It poisons him, slows him
down mentally and physically, breaks down youthful strength
and vigor, ages him prematurely and leaves him an easy victim
to the attack of almost countless diseases. Millions are virtual
slaves to the laxative habit, without obtaining real or permanent
relief.
Cathartics do relieve constipa
tion for the time being, but their
effect is only temporary at best

artificial aids, the more we require,

Registration of automobile drivers
and compulsory liability insurance,
protection of hospitals in collection
of their bills, inspection of all hos

Economies which have reduced De
Kalb county’s outstanding Indebted
ness from 1661,000 at the end of 1930
to $193,000 as of June 30 of this year
have enabled County Commisloner C.
A Matthews to cut the 1932 tax rate
by 25 cents, Matthews announced.
This represents a slash of 35 cents
from the 1930 rate, which was $1.76.
The 1932 rate will be $1.40 per $100,
Including the special school tax of
10 cents.
More than half of the per capita
cost of operating the state govern
ment of Georgia In 1931 went to the
state Highway Board. Figures con
tained in the recent audit of the state
filed by State Auditor Tom Wisdom
show that Georgians paid $7.88 o' the
$14.90 per capita cost of government
operations into the highway funds.
The total receipts of the Highway De

When the word “Depression” is
used, we all sit up and take no
tice, for we are all partners in
suffering. But the depression is
entirely man made; God had
nothing to do with it.
His fields are just as fertile

were.
His forests are just as green
and luxuriant.
His wafer supply is just as
pure and abundant.
His birds sing just as sweetly.
His flowers bloom just as
beautifully.
His sun rises just as majesti

His love is just as strong and
abiding.
