Atlanta's 75 Years
(By Will C. Hornsey)
Over a period of four years, ex
tending from 1883 to 1887, the
citizens of Atlanta, Texas as well
as all other people throughout
the civilized world, saw the most
gorgeously beautiful sunrises and
sunsets ever before witnessed by
the eye of mortal man.
Yes, each morning and afternoon
for four successive years from
1883 to 1887, the sun would rise
above a horizen of a marvelously
beautiful gold - bespangled sky
and in the afternoon, that sun
would slowly sink below the hori-
zon of a sky glorified in crimson
No matter if clouds obstructed
the view now and then, those glor-
ious sunrises and sunsets were
there just the same.
There is a cause for every ef-
fect. We may ask: what was it
that brought about those remark-
ably beautiful sunrises and sun-
sets? Here is the answer: In the
year 1883, about one thousand
miles across the Pacific south-
west from Philippine Islands to
the extreme southern point of the
Island Sumatra, there was a
volcanic eruption. It was the great
est explosion ever to occur on the
earth. The noise of that great
volcanic explosion was heard in
Australia, over 2,000 miles away,
and it set up an oceanic wave that
reached the English Channell over
11,000 miles away. This volcanic
explosion killed many thousands
of natives living in a nearby vill-
age.
The explosion of this volcanic
cast countless thousands of tons
of ashes into the earth's atmos-
phere. Its explosion also created
an air - wave that went around
the world seven times, back and
forth, before it ceased to affect
the barometer. This atmospheric
disturbance caused the volcanic
ashes to permeate the oceanic at-
mosphere which envelops our earth
planet. The volcanic ashes which
came from that volcanic, remain I
ed in the earth's atmosphere for
four years, giving rise to those
beautiful sunrises and sunsets
from 1883 to 1887.
Those remarkable sunrises and
sunsets, which were then seen in
their magnificent splendor during
those four years extending from
1883 to 1887, prompted people in
many sections of our United Sta-
tes to name new towns and vill-
ages Sunrise and Sunset.
For an example: there is a vill
age near Ft. Worth, Texas named
Sunset, Texas. In the State of
Louisiana, we have a Sunrise, La.,
and a Sunset, La., We also have
a Sunset, Georgia; a Sunset,
Maine; a Sunset, Montana; a Sun
down, New York; a Sunset, Wash
ington; a Sunrise, Kentucky; a
Sunrise, Minnesota; and a Sunrise
Wyoming.
One of the world's masterpiec-
es in Art is a painting by the
famous Artist - Thomas Moran.
Upon his canvas, this noted artist
painted: "Sundown Over Grand
Canal in Venice." A reproduction
of this world's famous painting
was portrayed in full color on a
calendar which has been seen by
approximately 22,000,000 people.
Those glorious sunrises seen
by the citizens of Atlanta, Texas
and other people throughout the
world, was a continous scene for
six months of each of those four
years at Petsamo, Finland for
there in that faraway northern
country, the sun would rise and
remain above the horizon from
March 21 to Sept. 21. Its contin-
uous beauty as seen there was be
yond the power of man to describe
in words or to paint upon canvas.
Yes, the citizens of Atlanta,
Texas saw the world's most glor-
ious sunrises and sunsets extend-
ing over a period of four years
from 1883 to 1887. .
ed, they will have to be cleaned,
dried, and scarified which should
not cost but about two dollars per
hundred pounds.
Arrangements have been made
with Orin Hilliard of the Huffines
community to harvest about 150
acres for Henry King and the
Davis farm of Atlanta. Sericea
usually produces about 200-400 lbs
per acre.
Sericea is another perennial er-
osion - resisting crop that has ex
cellent soil improving qualities in
addition to its values as a hay
drop, wildlife, food and cover.
With the combining of sericea
seed this can and probably will
open up a new project for sericea
in Cass County which already has
proven its value with more acres
of sericea being planted than any
county in Texas.
nearest station carrying this pro-
gram is KTFS, Texarkana at 2:30
p. m. President R. G. Lee of the
Southern Baptist Convention is
the October speaker.
\
Garvin Gibson Sav-
ing Serecia Seed
Garvin Gibson's farm, located
in the Union Chapel community,
has just started combining the
first Sericea Lespedeza seed ever
harvested in Cass County, this
week. Gibson has 32 acres of seri-
cea on his farm and has completed
the harvesting of about 10 acres
with a yield of 3500 pounds which
is about 350 pounds per acre.
Farmers of Cass County have
made sericea lespedeza one of the
most outstanding hay crops in
county after many people in the
state gave it up a bad crop reports
Truitt Powell, County Agricultural
Agent For about twelve years all
the seed planted have been pur-
chased from Arkansas and other
States with several thousand dol-
lars of our money going into the
pockets of farmers in other states
however by harvesting our own
seed this money will not only stay
in the county, but can bring addi-
tional money into the county by
having seed to sell.
After the seed have been harvest
Enon Association
Further Facts
Enon Association had one of its
greatest years of accomplishment
during the period October 1, 1948
to September 30, 1949. There were
311 baptisms. The present total
membership of the 44 churches is
above 7000.
Sunday school enrollment, 4214
Training Union 1356; eight Vaca-
tion Bible schools reported an en
rollment of 832, 60 more than 13
schools reported last year.
Total contributions were just
under $200,000 00 for all purposes
This total included many thou-
sands contributed to new church
buildings, particularly Linden and
Douglassville. Some $20,000.00 was
contributed to Missions and bene-
volences.
The above figures do not include
five of our churches which sent
no statistical letters. More than
ever do we see apropos of an erst-
while wit who was reported to
have said that it looked as if the
Baptists and the devil were going
to take this country. Making due
allowance for non-resident mem-
bers, even if every resident Bap-
tist were a dynamic, working
Christian, much more thrilling re-
cord would be made this associa-
tional year.
The associational officers and
department leaders are meeting at
Linden Thursday, October 20, at
2:00 p. m. to formulate a cal-
endar of activities for the year
ahead.
Attention is called to the fact
that Baptist have launched a year
round radio hour on Sunday. The

HEADACHES
CASE NO. 274:
PROOF
Chiropractic is a definite, specific method of lo-
cating and correcting the basic, spinal CAUSE of
DISEASE. Chiropractors set free nature's^
forces and she begins at once to make repairs'
In due time the case gets well as illustrated by
the following case histories:
NERVOUSNESS—
A girl of 17 who came to a Chiropractor suf-
fered from severe headaches which she attri-
buted to her eyes. She had worn glasses for
five years, changing to a stronger type of
lens every six months. However, analysis re-
vealed that the headaches were caused by
nerve pressure at the base of the skull. A
series of spinal adjustments released the
nerves from pressure and the headaches
promptly ceased. Further, eyesight so im-
proved that within a short time she was able
to discard her glasses and has not worn them
since.
CONVULSIONS-
CASE NO. 356:
A young woman who for seventeen years had
been having as many as ten to fifteen con-
vulsions daily. Treated for epilepsy without
avail. Under special treatment for seven years
without benefit. All hope for recovery had
gone, when a friend advised Chiropractic. A
spinal X-ray revealed a marked disarrange-
ment of the neck, the result of a fall suffered
when a child. Adjustments were commenced
and after only a few months she was 95 per
cent better.
CASE NO. 34:
This woman, age 41, came to our Clinic feel-
ing very nervous and run down. In her own
words, "I feel like I am not relaxed." She
also complained of a tight feeling across the
chest and throat and at times felt that she
would not be able to get her breath. She suf-
fered severe headaches with her periods and
chronic constipation. Our Chiropractic Spinal
examination and X-rays revealed a mis-
aligned vertebra in her neck that was caus-
ing an interference with the normal flow of
nerve energy. Corrective spinal adjustments
restored vertebral alignment, allowing a
free flow of this vital nerve energy after
which all symptoms ceased. This woman
works in a supervisory capacity and claims
she now feels just grand.
AGREED—
"After practicing medicine for 15
years, and spinal orthopedics for 10
years, I am daily astonished at thp
remedial power of Chiropractic spinal
adjustments as a cure of disease."
