HAMILTON COUNTY MEN
SOME COTTON PICKERSI
INTERESTING NEWS
From a Loraine, Mitchell connty,
exchange, of last week's issue, the
Herald-Record reproduces the follow-
ing championship in cotton picking
made by Hamilton county men who
recently went out there to gather in
the fleecy staple, and are evidently
making good.
On Thursday of last week four
young men who were picking cotton
for Chester Hart of the Valley View
community made an exceptionally
good days picking. We are giving the
names and weights:
Lee Pate, 734; Earl McAnnaly, 605;
G. L. McAnnaly, 503; Ted LeFevre,
502. Total weight.2,344. This is what
we call a pretty good day’s record for
four men in one day’s work. If you
know of s good record, send it in.
We will be glad to publish it.—Hamil-
ton Herald-Record.
THE POULTRY SHOW
The poultry show is the only open
door for the amateur into the ranks
of the high class breeders. The pool-
try show is an eye opener. The be-
ginner in poultry husbandry who has
no opportunity to compare his birds
with others of mors experience can
not make the progress that he ought
to make in the culture of high class
birds.
The poultry show is also a mighty
dynamo of inspiration to achieve larg-
er things every year and reach higher
levels of value in the culture of fowls.
The poultry show brings the produc-
ers together, and the people are be-
ginning to appreciate the value of the
poultry show more and more every-
where.
The show is also a great public pro-
moting power. Every man who conies
to a poultry exhibit of any worth at
all will go home tinging the praises
of nice fowls, and’'a burning in bis
soul to own some. Many young peopM
will come to the front every year to
take the place of older ones who are
in need of the thrill of the finest poul-
try exhibition.
Therefore, lot us work together to
have a big show in Clifton next month
the 22nd, 2Srd and 24th. This is a
thing oar community needs today.
A Member of Clifton Poultry Aao’n.

By J. C WUkereon, Superintendent
The third grade girls won a contest
from the boys of that grade in gram-
mar Wednesday. The contest was on
the correct use of sang and sung snd
rang and rung.
Six new pupils entered school Mon-
day, making the total enrollment 445.
Mrs. Robert Baldridge and Mrs. Al-
bert Nelson donated a dollar each to
the first grade Victrola fund.
A child cannot usually do good school
work and go to parties or other places
of entertainment during the week. An
exception should be made on holidays.
A good time to pay a debt is when
you have the money. While school
taxes are not delinquent until Feb. 1,

TIGERS MAY MEET
CUFTON THIS WEEK
The following appeared in Sunday's
Waco News Tribune. Since its publi-
cation, the game has been definitely
arranged, and will be played on Car-
roll Field, Baylor University, Waco,
on Friday afternoon at 2:45.
The Waco high Tigers may meet
Clifton high this week, but whether
the game will be played in Waco or
Clifton is a question. Clifton has
challenged Waco for the game, is un-
defeated in the district, and is willing
to come to Waco for a fat guarantee,
but Waco hasn’t a place to play, un-
less the game can be staged at Car-
roll field. If the Tigers cannot obtain
use of that field for the afternoon,
the game may be played in Clifton.
Clifton defeated Meridian test week
by a score of 13 to 0 and is anxious
to get at the Tigers. It promises to be
a real game if staged.

BAPTIST CHURCH
Where are the people who ought to
be engaged in Christian services? We
are living in the most wonderful age
the world has ever known, with the
greatest opportunities, greatest ad-
vantages that any age has ever of-
fered to *man—if we are awakened to
these advantages.
This truly is an age of reconstruc-
tion since the great world disturbance.
The morals of our people have been
lowered or strained to the extent that
it will take a number of years to over-
come this downward tendancy and
bring our people back to a rational
thinking and .living. This is a time
of advancement in the different
spheres of life!, All are making their
plans to keep abreast of the times.
But if we are to do this we must be
awakened, enlightened organised and
active.
Organizations do not run them-
selves./ There must be power behind
them. We have our Christian organi-
zations, the churches, with their dif-
ferent branches of work. These ought
to be the greatest and the most pow-
erful and most thoroughly organised
of any of our institutions. But we
find that in a large measure they have
been neglected.
The Bible alone will not evangelise
the world, there most be a power be-
hind it True we have God as the
author of the Bible but this is not
sufficient - His plan aad
and is to use humanity as an addi-
tional force to carry out this great
work in the world, an organized, co-
operating force.

time, talent money—our beat into this
great forward movement that had its
beginning with the Chirst
