CALEDONIA
Caledonia, March 31.—
Sunday, April 5, is our regular
day for preaching service at
the eleven o’clock hour. There
are some of our people who,
on account of sickness, bad
weather and other causes have
never heard 5ro. Cannon in
his splendid sermons. We ex-
press the hope that a great
congregation will be present.
Sunday, April 12, is Easter
Day. While it is not preaching
day, we will doubtless have a
speaker for the morning hour,
and a very interesting program
will be rendered by the chil-
dren and young people at the
Sunday school hour. Let’s
make this a great come-togeth-
er day when we can all rejoice
together over the resurrection
of our Lord and over the com-
ing anew of spring and new
life to the earth.
A group of young people
met with the pastor and his
wife on the church yard Satur-
day afternoon and enjoyed
playing games. We hope to
revive the Saturday afternoon
play hour for all age groups,
now Jhat the weather permits
out-door play in more safety.
Children of the Boys ’ and
Girls’ World Club, with their
leader, Miss Elizabeth Ash,
enjoyed a picnic Saturday in
Clarence Rainbolt’s pasture.
Trammell Swan, once a very
regular Sunday school attend-
ant, visited Sunday school re-
cently and celebrated his
birthday by giving his pennies
to the birthday bank. Lois
Nix had her first Caledonia
birthday with ns, a few Sun-
days ago. Lois has recently
moved here with her parents
from Oklahoma.
The hearts of many Cale-
donia people were made sad
last week by the deaths of
three dear friends. Mrs.
Mary G. Nix was buried here
Tuesday, Mr. Homer Lacy in
Cushing Wednesday, and
Milly Mercy Hebert in Timp-
ron Sunday. A?1 have many
friends in the community who
are offering their deepest sym-
pathy to those who are so near
Mr. John
at his home in the community.
We shall be so glad to hear of
his early recovery.
Miss Marie Wilmeth met
with the Woman’s H
Demonstration Ciub-,-Monday
afternoon in a session post-
poned from an earlier date on
account of conflicting engage-
ments. She gave further
demonstration of the making
and fitting of foundation pat-
terns, hoping to enable our
women to cut and fit their own
clothing without the aid of
bought patterns. A short busi-
ness session was held in con-
nection with the demonstra-
tion.
It might not be amiss to an-
nounce again that the regular
meeting time for the club has
been changed to the fourth
Wednesday in each month.

Funeral servjeea were held
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock
at the Methodist church for
Miss Milly Mercy Hebert, 13-
year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. E. H. Hebert. The serv-
ices were conducted by Rev.
M. R. Turner, pastor of the
Methodist Church, Timpson;
Rev. C. G, Carter, pastor of
the North Side Baptist Church,
Timpson, and Rev. Neal D.
Camion, former Timpson pas-
tor and now of Henderson.
Pastor Turner paid a beau-
tiful tribute to the life of the
deceased and spoke tenderly
of her sweet disposition, her
lovely character and of her
ability to make and to retain
friends, not orfly with com-
panions' of near her own age,
but with those younger and
with adults. Rev. Cannon read
the scripture lesson, and Rev.
Carter pronounced an impres-
sive prayer. Milly was a sweet
child, an obedient little girl,
beloved of her parents and
grandparents, and admired
and loved by all who knew
her.
Milly was an only child of
Mr. and Mrs. Hebert. She was
kind, affectionate and lovely
of disposition and character.

T. D. Kimbro of Center,
representing the National Re-
employment Service, branch of
the United States Department
of Labor, was a business visit-
or in Timpson Wednesday.
The following statement, rela-
tive to the work was obtained
from Mr. Kimbro:
The NRS office now is oper-
ating under emergency pro-
gram with same'st&tus as Unit-
ed States Employment Service.
The United States employment
service has been operating un-
der an act of congress for sev-
eral years, and following the
emergency act, the employ-
ment service is expected to be
put on more permanent basis.
"The Employment Service
has no connection with the re-
lief office, but acts as a clear-
ing house between the employ-
er and employee. The employ-
ment office of Shelby county
has assigned to WPA projects
in Shelby county since Novem-
ber first approximately 700
men and 200 women, these
having first been certified to
the National Re-eaployment
Service by the Texas Relief
Commission. In addition to
assigning men and women to
WPA projects, it is the duty of
the service to find private jobs
gun with the present tern, and !as well as public jobs for all
her teachers and classmates of {unemployed, but we cannot as-
the eighth grade will miss this {sign non-relief men to WPA
studious little girl from work projects. AH assignments on
WPA projects have been can-
celed at this time due to the
fact of having to reduce the
total now working, after this
is done, the NBS office is ex-
pected to receive notice to be-
gin assigning.
“At the present time some
ten WPA projects are now in
operation in Shelby county.
Four public road projects are
now in operation with the
fifth to begin next week from
Timpson to Center Highway
22. This project will use ap-
proximately 75 men, however,
most of them will come froth
the certified rolls of the relief
that have not been assigned
and then the others will be re-
leased from WPA projects.
The sixth project, an under-
pass at Center, w31 begin
about April 15. It is expect-
ed that by May 1 some 1200
or 1500 men will be working
on WPA projects and public
road projects in Shelby county.
“The National Re-employ-
ment Service has been desig-
nated to take care of the farm
labor in Shelby county for this
year. Those needing farm
hands should apply to the
NRS office and those farm
hands needing fane work
should register with the NRS
office, if not already done so.
‘The Shelby county office is
now in charge of T. D. Kimbro,
assisted by J. E. Lewis. Kim-
bro also has charge of Panola
county..
“We received order Wednes-
day morning from J. S. Moore
ft Sons, contractor on 22 for
30 laborers to begin Monday
morning on 22. These will
come from unasstgned relief
men and WPA operated pro-
jects.”

Milly’s class mates, small
boys of the eight grade, served
as ushers at the church for the
large crowd of friends, who

to Miily.
Active pallbearers were: K.
H. Francis, B. J. Hawthorn. F.

Milly is survived by her
parents; grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. T. P. Rutherford and Mr.
and Mrs. V. A. Hebert.
A beautiful floral offering
gave only a partial though
fitting token of the esteem in
which the little girl was held.
The service was concluded at
the cemetery where a vast
bower of springtime’s . most
beautiful flowers, covered the
newly made mound in Wood-
lawn.
