Pretty Girls Pick Cotton for Church

Atlanta, Nov. Glow the pretty
girls of suburban Atlanta church
went into the cotton fields and picked
cotton to lift the debt from this in
stitution was learned with surprise
this morning.
Curious autoists riding through
Oakland City shortly after breakfast
happened to look toward the broad
acres of Farmer A. P. Morgan, white
with the 1eecy staple, and then they
rubbed their eyes and looked again.
Instead of the ordinary negro field
hands, the fields were swarming with
rosy-cheeked girls and buXom mat
rons. working industriously, darting
hither and thither like experienced
cotton pickers.
1t turned out they were members
of the Ladies Aid society of the Oak
land City church. 1t occurred to them
that at this season of the year they
could make more money for the
church debt by picking cotton than
by holding "sociables' and sewing
circles, so they set to. Not many
of them were accustomed to the hard
| work, and some fell by the Wayside
| as the day progressed, but for the
most part they expressed a determi-
nation to stick it out through the day
and return tomorrow. In addition to
the regular pay of so cents hundred
pounds given to all pickers, prizes
were offered for the lady who picked
| the most in given time.
