The Ellaville Sun Friday, September 29, 1939 No. 13 TO SUBSCRIBERS WHO HAVEN'T PAID Quickness of subscribers to settle their subscription accounts with The Sun while making the usual round of paying obligations "in the fall" has been most gratifying. Notices carried in the last two issues reminding those who owe to come by and enter their renewals brought much response. This is a third reminder to all who have neglected to pay: "We were glad to be able to wait for your renewal until the harvest time when money was more plentiful. If you have delayed settling, we will appreciate your handing the money to any representative of the paper, the mail carrier, or sending it by mail." And, many thanks. Rates: $1.50 per year in Schley and adjoining counties; $2.00 elsewhere. SCHLEY SLANTS by Raymond Duncan THE FRANKNESS OF THE MODERN SWIMSUIT After 75 years, a Schley county woman was introduced to the frankness of the modern bathing suit. Riding on the outskirts of town with Mrs. Andrew Sellars of Midway, the lady saw a car overflowing with girls and boys clad in swim suits--going to Avary's swimming pool. Several minutes later, the lady said, "Lucile, let's go back and see about those children!" "Why should we go see about them?" asked Mrs. Sellars. "Because they had to leave home before they put on their clothes. Their house must be burning down!" Told the youngsters didn't regard themselves undressed and that they were about to take a dip in a public swimming pool, the 75 year-old woman expressed amazement. When Mrs. Sellars offered to take her to the pool some time, she declined. "If they don't wear any more clothes than that, I don't want to see them." MRS. SELLARS WINS SHOW PASSES For passing along this incident revealing how modernity looks to someone who has never known what it is like, Mrs. Sellars and her husband will be passed into the Rylander Theater at Americus any time they decide to go. "Each Dawn I Die," starring Jimmy Cagney and George Raft, plays at the Rylander Monday and Tuesday and manager I.T. Taylor advises Mrs. Sellars that she can't go wrong with this one. The person submitting the most suitable item for this column each week receives a pair of undated tickets to the Rylander. IT WAS AN ALARM BELL ALL RIGHT Miss Ruth Stewart if Ebenezer sends along this bright saying of a small boy in her neighborhood. Walking in the pasture with his father, the lad saw a snake and heard it rattle. He exclaimed, "Daddy, come and see this snake with bells on it!" MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY Birthday wishes to Ira Smith, Sept. 19; Edmund Robinson, 21st! Mrs. Ed Hornady, 25th; C.S. Wall, Oct. 1; Billy Kimble, Malone Stewart, Oct. 4. BOWLING ALLEY PLANNED HERE A new sport--bowling--will be introduced to Ellaville within the next month. M.J. Arrington said yesterday, he and J.F.

DILLARD RITES ARE CONDUCTED Burial services were held in Ellaville Thursday afternoon for George Dillard, former local citizen who died at his home in Hawkinsville Tuesday night.

Survivors include his widow, four sons, Colquitt, Hawkinsville; Ralph and Alva, both of Savannah; Eugene, of Cordele; a daughter, Christine of Savannah. Honorary pallbearers at the burial service here were E.C. Rigsby, C.C. Williamson, John R. Wall, Eugene Dixon, and H.W. Hogg. BUS FIRE CALLS LOCAL FIREMEN Ellaville firemen were called to extinguish a fire on a Georgia Stages bus in Taylor county near the Schley line last Friday night about 9 o'clock.
