OPTIMISTIC WM OF
EAST TEXAS’ HOMES
Chamber of Commerce
Head Would Encour-
age Agriculture and
Industry.
The following letter is from
W. F. Corry, president of the
Timpson chamber of com-
merce, and the Times is pleas-
ed to give the writer’s optimis-
tic observations:
In looking over our farms
this year I find that we have
the best feed crops for the past
15 years; also a fair cotton
erop. I believe prospects are
better in the Timpson trade
territory than I have seen for
about 15 years. Of course, we
do not have money as we
shonld like, and this causes us
to put forth our best efforts to
produce cash incomes on farms
besides cotton and corn. It is
true, the past year our tomato
crop did not bring as much re-
turn as we would have liked,
but it helped our general in-
come.
We are trying to get in the
milk and dairy business, and
from territory around Sulphur
Springs that I have inspected
I feel certain this will increase
the purchasing power of the
farmer. Some of our farmers
are producing milk at a profit
now, and we are just scratch-
ing the surface.
We are in the center of the
garden spot of East Texas,
having land that will produce
most any kind of truck; with
abundance of living water to
about every hundred acres of
surface.
We are blessed with timber
for fuel and for other neces-
sary things, such as building^
fencing, etc. I discussed our
territory with a land owner of
Northeast Texas a few days
ago, and he stated we should
be proud of vfrhat nature had
given us, contrasted with his
country; that for coal oil, coal
and other kinds of fuel, it cost
his tenants as much in a bad
winter as our farmers paid for
groceries for the year. We
have nuts, acorns, berries and
grapes that grow wild. Our
streams and private lakes are
getting stocked with fish. We
have many birds on farms and
in woods.
We have a country of patri-
otic, independent, red-blooded
American citizens of which 1
take pride.
We have a mild climate with
plenty of rainfall to produce
crops and stock.
With all of our resources let
us in Timpson try and devel-
op same so that whole sur-
rounding country may live a
better and a fuller life.
Through our chamber of
commerce let us taekle prob-
lems and work them out to
mutual advantage of eonntry
and town.
We need a basket and box
factory, processing plants for
tomatoes and other vegetables,
also a sweet potato market.
Let us all pull together and
these things will come. As one
member of chamber of com-
merce, I with to invite every-
one in our territory to join us,
and offer helpful suggestions
or constructive criticism, so
that we may serve communi-
ty in a more progressive man-
ner.
Let ns go forward with civic
pride, industry and agricul-
ture. W. F. Corry.

God
Lesson for September 8
Psalm 96
Golden Text: $4:3
The caption of the lesson is
a modern expression of the
Golden Text. Obviously you
must attend church regularly
if you would influence others
to attend. Insist upon the at-
tendance of your own house-
hold. Ever hear of the “fam-
ily pew” of other days? Invite
your friends and others to go
to church. Urn your telephone.
Men do os much for their
luncheon dubs aad other or-
ganisation*.
Some seldom attend church
because they go only to be en-
tertained. They are onlook-
ers and listeners. If the sermon
is dull and the music bad they
are disappointed. The reeuK
would be different if they
should go to church not only
to receive but also to give.
There is an uplift of soul in
joining with others in wor-
ship. Ritual should bo an aid
to worship. Bat its symbols
should be as intelligible as
the words or symbols of lan-
guage. Lears the meaning of
your forms of worship that
they may fittingly express the
sentiments and aspirations of
the heart.
Psalm 96 is instructive con-
cerning worship. God should
be worshipped because He is
great and to be chosen above
the idols of the world (versed
1-8). Giving is worship (verse
8—latter part). If more Chris-
tian* would make their giving
in act of worship no cause of
the kingdom-would languish.
And naturally , die . giving of
self is demanded, and such
giving with a purpose in view.
Worship is missionary !verse .
3). And in the last verse of the
Psalm,we find that in exalting
<6.00 TOb*h»itfd, be strengthen-
ed to face )he» ; thing* of life
unafraid and to look with con-
fidence, even in a turbulent
time, to the coming reign of
righteousness and truth.
Mrs. M. O. McDowell and
daughter, Janice, left Sunday
for Crystal City where they
will join Mr. McDowell for
the winter. Mias Joecik Mc-
Dowell went Tuesday to Van,
Texaa, where she will take up
her duties as librarian in the
public school.—Center News.

Tenaha public schools will
begin the 1949-41 term Mon-
day, Sept 9, Dave McNeill,
Jr., has announced.
