W. M. U. Meeting Of
Tucker Association
The twenty-first annual meeting of
the Woman's Missionary Union of the
Tucker Association was held with the
Hopeful Baptist church, Friday, Octo¬
ber 2, 1925.
God smiled upon us with a most
beautiful day and the ladies seemed
to appreciate His favor to the extent
of coming in large numbers from far
and near. superin¬
The efficient and beloved
tendent Mrs. R. L. Hall, of Newton,
called the meeting to order by an¬
nouncing the hymn, “Revive Us
Again." This was entered into and
sung enthusiastically by all the wo¬
men. Rev. J. G. Graham, of Camilla,
was asked to lead the opening prayer.
We then had a very sacred hour of
devotion, led by Mrs. C. F. Cater,
President of the Southwest Division
of the Georgia W, M. U. Such a
hush and stillness prevailed as she
carried us, it seemed, into the very
presence of the Christ and listened
to His three messages that morning.
1st. His Invitation, “Come.” 2nd.
Exhortation, “Tarry.” 3rd. Com¬
mand, “Go.” “Come unto Him and
be Saved; “Tarry” with Him while
He prepares us to "Go” and witness
for Him.
Mrs. Whigham, President of the W.
M. U. work at Hopeful then rose and
opened to us the doors and hearts of
her community and bade us walk
right in and feel perfectly at home.
She gave us such a cordial and hearty
welcome, everyone indeed felt very
much at home.
In behalf of those who had come,
Mrs, G. J. Joiner, of Camilla, respond¬
ed to this hearty greeting and wel¬
come in a most beautiful and appre¬
ciative speech.
All visitors, pastors and strangers
were recognized, introduced and in¬
vited to be one with us.
. The Secretary, Mrs. Henderson
Hatl, of Newton, was asked to read
the proceedings of the Executive
Board meetings for the year. These
minutes bore testimony to the fact
that the Executive Board had been
very zealous in its efforts to go for¬
ward in the Lord's work, as outlined
by the W. M. U. of the South.
Brief, but quite interesting reports
were then given concerning the spe¬
cial phases of our work as follows:
Young Peoples’ Work—Mrs. J. C.
Odom, Newton.
Hospital Supplies—Mrs. G. C. Bur
son, Camilla.
Personal Service—Mrs. W. M. Fair
cloth, Hopeful.
White Cross—Mrs. G. J. Joiner,
Camilla.

ham School for Girls, which belongs
exclusively to the W. M. U. The En¬
listment and Evangelistic Work of
our State Board was also spoken of
and the great work it is doing.
Our Home Mission Work was most
ably given by Mrs. Spencer B. King,
of Pelham. She carried ua back to
the very beginning of this work and
led us through the years up to the
present time and showed us the mar¬
velous growth of the Home Mission
Board. Today, its helping hand cov¬
ers the entire Southland plus Mexico,
Cuba and Panama.
Mrs. J. G. Graham, of Camilla, pre¬
sented the work of the Foreign Mis¬
sion Board and its efforts to send the
Gospel to the Uttermost parts of the
Earth,” as planned and ordered by
the Savior in His last message.
The song, *T gave my Life for
Thee," was then sung, but with a new
meaning, it seemed. How much
Christ gave—how little we give.
Miss Ruth Jinks, Missionary, em¬
ployed by the South Western Division
of the W. M. U. was presented to the
audience. She gave a most earnest
heart to heart talk with a strong ap¬
peal to "Give of our very best to Him
who gave His all for us."
Appointment of Committees and the
announcements for the day were
made after which the Rev. Christopher
pastor, of Hostess church, dismissed
us with prayer for the noon hour.
The Hopeful ladies served a bounti¬
ful dinner composed of everything
one's appetite could wish for. How¬
ever pleasant the hours might be and
was socially, our good superintendent
had told us early in the morning that
we were not there for a good time
socially, but there on business for our
King. His business requires haste,
so when the appointed hour arrived,
we were called to order and asked
to sing that grand old hymn, “Jesus
Calls Us—Saying Christian Follow
Me."
Miss Jinks then read some mes¬
sages from the Gospel according to
John and very earnestly spoke to us
about our “Willingness to follow Him
who calls us.”
The Sunbeams of Hopeful then sang
a very pretty motion song. This was
followed with a duet, “Give of your
best to the Master,” by two young la¬
dies of Hopeful.
“Stewardship" was the subject of
Mrs. Cater’s afternoon address. This
message was indeed sincere and from
the very depth of her heart and soul,
and will surely bear fruit in the lives
of her hearers.
Mrs. J. M. Spence, of Camilla, spoke
on “Our New Apportionment.” She
sounded the S. 0. S. call of our denom¬
ination and pleaded with the ladies to
answer nobly.
“The Spiritual Side of our Personal
Service Work" was the theme of ex¬
cellent paper by Mrs. C. V. James, of
PelhBin.
Reports from the following com¬
mittees were read and adopted.
Memorials; Resolutions; lime and
Place.
The nominating committee then
submitted its report which was accept¬
ed joyously and unanimously. All the
present officers were nominated for
re-election:
Superintendent, Mrs. R. L. Hall,
Newton.
Secretary, Mrs. Henderson
Newton.
Treasurer, Mrs. E. B.
Sale City.
Young Peoples Leader, Mrs. J. C.
Odum, Jr., Newton.
Though loathe to separate, we real¬
ized the day was far spent and night
was creeping toward us, so our sup
erintendent pronounced the 21st An¬
nual Session of the Tucker W. M.
adjourned sine die and asked Mrs. W,
C. Twitty, of Pelham, to dismiss
prayer.
The day had indeed been a happy
one. Signs of progress and
in the W. M. U. work were very evi¬
dent. Despite the obstacles and hin¬
drances in the beginning of the
the work has gone forward, and
way has been paved for still
advance in: the coming year. Christ’s
command is ever "Go Forward.” Like
the Israelites at the Red Sea, the wo¬
men are ready and willing to wade
right through the sea of
and trust Him who says “Go For¬
ward” to lead us through to victory.
Our key word is “Attempt
Things for God, Expect Great
of God.” Thus relying upon
help we press forward towards
goal our Leader, Christ Jesus,
fixed.

Snake Volts; Survives 18,000
Ties Up
EL CENTRO, Calif.—This city was
without power for 10 minutes after
8-foot king snake crawled on a trans
former on the main power line sup¬
plying the district. Eighteen thous¬
and volts of electricity passed through
tiie snake’s body for almost one min¬
ute, but the employes had to be called
to put the reptile to death.
Berlin Women Tire Of
Dancing Without Men
BERLIN.—This year's ball of Ber¬
lin’s women artists marked an im¬
portant departure from a tradition of
30 years. While formerly it was a
festive occasion for women only, the
mere male was this year, not only
invited, but fairly wooed.
When the women artists of the Ger¬
man capital started out in 1925 to
arrange an annual costume party,
they hit upon the novel idea of limit¬
ing it to members of the fair sex.
This meant that all women with lithe,
grace figure dressed as men and as
such became the dancing partners for
popularity among the suffragettes,
who pointed out that women were
not condemned to wait modestly until
some male dancer asked them to have
a turn on the floor, but anybody in fe¬
male attire could unblushingly ask
anybody in male garb to dance.
But when the ball was revived for
the first time after the war, a year
ago it was found that the modern
woman no longer cares to come to a
ball of spinsters. Therefore it was
decided to invite the men this year.

Gold Brick Artists
Will Mulct Millions
The still flourishing cult of the
gold brick artists in the United States
will swindle the people out of $1,
009,000,000 during 1925. The cost of
credulity during 1924 was considera¬
bly more than that figure, but busi¬
ness is not so good for the swindlers
this year. That is the report of the
Better Business Bureau, in New York
City.
The 1925 toll of the “sucker” will
be smaller, the bureau asserts, be¬
cause of the nation-wide drive against
fakers of all kinds.
The whole United States is coop¬
erating to protect “suckers,” the bu¬
reau reports. Many states have en¬
acted laws to guard them against
the swindlers. Through chambers of
commerce, service dubs and business
bureaus the activities of the swindlers
are being reduced.
Particularly is the business bureau
busy. Branches have been establish¬
ed in 40 cities to keep ahead of the
dishonest, promoter to whom fresh
fields constantly are opening. These
bureaus are intended to sweep away
new webs spun for trustful folks who
succumb to attack to get-rieh-quiek
fever.
The summer real estate is a new
bait. Also there are ventures in li¬
quor smuggling, despite the disas¬
trous failure of Sir Broderick Hart¬
well, the English booze baron. The
oil fakers never quit. Dr. Frederick
Cook, of near polar fame, is in pris¬
on, with the story of his deals pain¬
ful knowledge to millions, but the
game still goes on.
Three promoters were arrested in
California this summer and charged
with cleaning up $500,000 along the
stock scheme. Another “blue sky”
Pacific coast with a worthless oil
promoter, sandwiched between re¬
putable business houses in New York
city, was arrested and sent to pris¬
on for a long term.
There is a beautifully furnished
Riverside drive, apartment in New
York city used as a lure by a former
Sing Sing eonviet to swindle victims
to whom he sells stock on promise
of a salaried job.
On prominent streets in all large
cities, it is asserted, are found fly-by
night store “sets" and promoters’-of¬
fices awaiting the uniformed investor.
The habitat of the gullible is not
confined to the rural section, but is
as. wide as the county, the New York
bureau asserts. The sigh of the
dwellers in Madison Square Joins the
doubting inquiry of the squire in Mad¬
ison Corners in the daily grist of
mailed complaints to the authorities
and to the business organizations.
NOTICE
FISH DEALERS
We are informed that a rumor has
been circulated through South Geor¬
gia that we had contracted our fish
at Ochlocknee Bay. We state this
is very untrue. We are operating the
Ochlocknee fishery this year and ex¬
pect to transfer to that point and sell
a large portion of the fish from Mud
cove Fishery, which we operate also.
We will sell from the smallest to the
largest quantity of fish and roe de¬
sired by any one at the market price.
Come to Ochlocknee Bay for your fish
and roe.
