Letters to the Editor
It is with no small sense of urgency that I call on my fellow brothers and sisters of Clarke County to vote with their hearts and minds next month regarding the proposed permit to allow the sale of alcohol within the city limits. This fine county of ours, since its inception, has been a beacon to those surrounding us who have chosen to recreate in inebriated revelry. Our children’s future lies in the hands of those who will approach the polls with the welfare of these young, impressionable ones first and foremost on their conscience. Members of the spiritual community who wish to join our door-to-door campaign in making our citizens aware of this potentially catastrophic ordinance should join us in the fellowship hall of Fairweather Baptist Church Saturday morning at 7. Deacons will be equipping all volunteers with pamphlets on alcoholism and divorce.
Yours in The Word,
The Reverend C.C. Tompkins
