' CËNTRAL POINT AMERICAN
Agriculture Is
Main Topic Here
(Continued from page 1)
natural conditions are here waiting
for the right folks to come along and
cash in on them.
The specialist is today making the
money, not alone in the professions,
but on the farms. Anybody can be
a specialist by simply specializing,
and he can get big prices for what
he produces, or some reason, how­
ever, most men are content to raise
uverage things and get only average
prices.
More farmers are wanted in Jack-
son county, whether they farm on a
big or a small scale. We offer them
just as many chances to prosper as
they now enjoy, and besides we o f­
fer them our many natural ad­
vantages.
Farming is at the best hard work,
but in Jackson county everything so
contributes to human com fort and
happiness that the routine labor on
the farm is relieved o f many o f its
trials.
You farmer folks who are living
where you are not getting much out
o f life, come out here where you
can get all there is in it, and maybe
a little bit more.— County Booklet.

crowd and some very interesting
numbers were presented.
Misses Naomi Moon, Vida Dent
and Naoma Magrader spent their

A large community dinner was
held at the school house Thanksgiv­

and, in fact, we hac! to hunt an extra
table to take care o f the cakes and
pies which were made by some o f
the best cooks in the country.
Several o f our young people at­
tended the dancing party given by
Miss Aletha Gray at the community

ful time and were sorry to depart

Sunday, Dec. 5.
Title for Sunday school lesson:
“ The Betrayal.” John 18.
Let us start right on time next
Sunday morning with every teacher
in place. The lesson is so full o f im­
portant things th*t we need every
minute available.
The sermon in the morning will
deal with the subject: “ What the
Scriptures Consist of, and their
Uses.” Come, let us exalt the word
o f God together. The young people
will meet at 6:30 p. m. for their ser­
vice, and at 7 :30 p. m. the service
will magnify the Lord in song; and
the sermon will be on the subject:
“ What the Bible Teaches About Re­
tribution.”
There are many false
things being taught about this sub­
ject that all who wish to know what
the Bible really does teach should
be in this service.
J. M. JOHNSON, Pastor.
