Your Name in the Tele
phone Directory Is a
Good Credit Reference
If you are new in the com
munity or just starting out
in your new home, you need
a telephone more than ever.
Your name in the telephone
directory, identifies you as a
member of the community
—as a substantial resident—
not just a transient visitor.
If you need work or credit
(and who doesn’t at some
time or other) just say “I’m
listed in the telephone direc
tory.” It helps a lot. Besides,
■i telephone has a thousand
ither uses, all of them valu
able and helpful. Call us to

telephone is installed.

Mr. Arch Talbert spoke to his
agents all over the county concern
ing the distribution of the Red
Cross flour. The county has been
wonderfully helped through Mr.
Talbert’s faithful effort to help the
needy of his county. Those of this
community who have received help
are very thankful to him for the
help. I do not think it has pro
moted laziness on the part of any
helped in this section; it just fed
the hungry to be more able to work.
Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Talbert, James
and Mary Talbert and Mrs. B. S.
Culbreath attended the flower
show at Meriwether in the home
of Mrs. Laura Bunch. They re
port a fine trip and no trouble com
ing home after a heavy rain. Mrs.
Talbert carried a basket of . wild
flowers that brought home a blue
ribbon. She kindly presented the
flowers to your correspondent. She
also won another ribbon.
Several of this community are
trying a new method in raising to
matoes. It was tried last summer
and proved a success, so others are
trying it. It is said that a hole
should be sunk three feet, filled
half full of compost, leaf mold, or
any fertilizer that is handy, the
plant is set and as it grows the
hole is filled with rich earth. I
heard of one plant that was raised
last summer in the Mayson settle
ment that supplied the table, the
plants are said to grow to great
size. However, it is some task to
get the desired depth in country
with such a firm foundation as this
community has.
Mattie Morgan, wife of Gilbert
Morgan, a respectable colored wo
man of this community died sud

when they reached the house.
They were in a field some distance
from the house. She was a good
woman and tried to rear her chil
dren right.

Mr. and Mrs. Bud Morgan and
