CAMPGROUND ITEMS

Mr.. Thomas Henry Williams, one
of our most loved and honored citi-
zens, died here Saturday night at
$3.50 o'clock, aged 81 years and few
days. Mr. Williams was buried in
Poplar Grove cemetery Sunday after
noon, Rev. j. w. Joyner conducting
the services, attended by large
number of friends and relatives. The
floral offerings were beautiful and
appropriate. Mr.. Williams is sur
vived by two children, Mr.. T. E. Will
liams, of this community, and Mr.
Erasmus Williams, Of Columbus,
Ohio, and six grandchildren.
Rev. T. G. MeKelvey, of Millington,
preached to a good congregation at
Quito Sunday afternoon, filling the
pastors appointment, who was de-
tanned at the T. H. Williams funeral
at that hour. Mr. McKelvey has
many friends at Quito and they ac-
cord him a cordial welcome among
them.
Rev. A, G. Melton, of Munford and
Atoka churches, was well pleased
with his fine reports for conference.
We understand the ladies of these
good churches are going to present
him with a fine conference suit. He
says his friends started this good
work when they put him in his fine
conference hat at Munford the other
day. Upton is going to have share
in this, too.
Next, the fifth Sunday, there will
be preaching at Poplar Grove at II
a. m. and at Campground Sunday
night. The pastor or some visiting
brother will do the preaching.
Wheat sowing next; cotton is out;
corn gathered and wood cut, looks
good to a passerby Sow wheat now
and Japan clover in the spring and
get two good crops and starve few
boil weevils besides. Go to it, brave
sons Of the soil, and God will prosper

FORD STILL IN FIGHT
FOR MUSCLE SHOALS

Henry Ford "has not yet begun to
fight" in his campaign to convince
Congress it should accept his plan
for taking over the Muscle Shoals
project and creating a great. indus
trial center in the South.
Reports that the Detroit automo-
bile manufacturer had become dis
gusted with delays his offer had
been subjected to during the last ses-
sion of Congress and had decided to
drop all active efforts to secure a
favorable vote were sharply denied
by Mr.. Ford in statement recently.
"Any statement that have lost
interest in Muscle Shoals, or am
contemplating withdrawal of my Of
fer is simply a lie" he said en-
phatically. 1--WE reached the point
where Pm tired of saying people who
are continually misrepresenting my
osition ip regard to Muscle Shoals
merely are mistaken Instead of
that I'm going to say they are Just
plain liars. We are in the Muscle
Shoals project to stay. We haven't
started to fight.

Urging her hearers to labor to reduce
needless and tragic deaths among
mothers and infants, Miss Grace Abb
bott, chief of the Federal Children's
Bureau of the United States De-
partment of Labor, today addressed
the delegates to the General Fedora
zion of Women's Clubs.
Her subject was the Sheppard
Towner act and the responsibility OF
club women in promoting the welfare
of children. After reviewing the RS
tory of this Federal measure Miss
Abbott turned her attention to the
existing situation in various states OF

is impossible for any state to know
its own problem-when and why and

three states, Arizona, Nevada and
South Dakota, which have not adopt

sixteen others, Alabama, Arkansas,
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho,
Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri,

your individual state there can be
no single model plan because con-
