Joanna Mills Deed
Requires Largest
Amount In Stamps
Laurens. July 6—The Clerk of
Court’s office handled recently its
largest revenue stamp transac
tion since the present clerk went
into office and probably the larg
est in the history of the office,
according to Clerk of Court Wal
ter E. Dunlap.
The stamps were placed on a
deed given by the Joanna West
ern Milk Company to the Joanna
Realty Company, recently organ
ized. and amounted to a total of
$5,429.65 in staipps. The deed
was for a consideration of $1,-
751.500 and involved the convey
ance °f rea l estate and other
property in and around Joanna in
the lower part of this county, not
including the Joanna Mills plant.
It is understood that the . ob
ject of the transaction was to
separate the real estate of the Jo
anna Mills interests from the
manufacturing department.
Of the tptal amount of stamps
$3,503.00 were issued by the state
and $1.926 55 were issued by the
federal government
.The deed took up about five
pages of single spaced typewriter
copy on the clerk's deed book,
equal to about 12 pages of single
spaced copy on legal size type
writer paper.

THE WORLDS MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
And when H« was com* near, H* b*h*ld th* city, and
wept or*r it. (Luke 19:41.)
From my hotel room I could see the shattered homes and empty
streets of the “no man’s land” that marked the dividing lin e between
Jordan and Israel. I.felt that Christ must still be weeping over Je
rusalem.
We have reason to" believe that He is weeping over the strife and
bitter enmity between Arab and Jew, and over thousands of refu
gees huddled in tents and mud huts along the Jericho Road. Sure
ly He weeps over all the sins of men, whether in Jerusalem or any-...
where. They draw Him to the way of Sorrows again.
Any “no man’s land” is dangerous to mankind, but much more
dangerous is the “no God’s land” where pride, prejudice, selfishness,
and lust for power hold sway. These cause weeping and prevent
many from finding the joy of the new life in Christ.
The hope of a redeemed humanity everywhere is to allow Christ
to make all things in personal life and national life.
PRAYER
Lord, forgive Thy children for their love of self. We
pray fpr the redemption of persons. We pray that the
nation, will seek Thy will and dedicate themselves to be
used of Thee to pursue those things which make for
peace. Redeem Thy world, O God. beginning with me.
For the Redeemers' sake. Amen. r
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
By walking in His spirit, it is our privilege to walk where Je^is
walked.
