WOMAN’S CLUB TO “CARRY ON • > The fjrst meeting of the Woman’s Club fer 1925 was characterized by a full attendance and a community spirit for which Fort Valley is so noted, and the labors of such a group will surely redound to her glory and prosperity. The New Year brings a time of review and a time of resolu¬ tion, and as the club women look back over the things achieved and the things left undone, they find in both an incentive for renewed endeavor. That which has been accomplished f< 1 the progress, of our city and for the promotion of . the happiness and welfare of many proves the virtue ol persistent effort, and that which is hoped for and not yet realized is but a challenge to our courage and faith, and a clear call to “carry on.” With gratitude for the good gifts of the old year, the Fort Valley Wo¬ mans Club will pvfch on into a reali¬ zation of greater things for the New Year upon which we are now enter¬ ing. MEETING OF WOMAN’S CLUB The Fort Valley Woman’s Club met Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 6 , with Mrs, A. M. Solomon as hostess. The first part of the meeting wa devoted to business, Mr? .T. M. Gr< en presiding. The secretary, Mrs. J. C Wilson, read the minutes of the last meeting, also a report op. the Christ mas box sent to the Veteran’s Hos¬ pital in Augusta. Mrs. Cornelius Hall reported that rehearsals for the play to be produc¬ ed jointly by the Woman’s Club and the Kiwanis Club, are now in prog- 1 ess. The play, “Mrs. Temple’s Tele¬ gram” will be given Jan. 16, the place not yet decided upon. At the close of the business ses¬ sion, Mrs. O. D. Williams took charge of the program. Two very in¬ teresting papers were read: “The Russo-Japanese War” b\ Mrs. T. J. Shepard. “The new Woman in Old Japan” by Mrs. Edwin Martin. The roll call, answered by facts concerning women, concluded the program for the afternoon. A most delicious salad course wat then served by the hostess, assisted by her little daughter. The next meeting will be held Jan. 20 . * ♦$» *> *> ♦*.

Wood had an article in one of the magazines suggesting that America has an “inferiority complex.” We are inclined to believe that Mr. Wood has not looked around so considerably as he thinks he has. Iri fact we guaran¬ tee that he has never visited Peach county or attended one of her mass meetings. Or he would acknowledge a rare exception in the home of the peach. Peach county does not boast to cover some defect. Peach county is always sure of herself. Peach county has shown the world that she is not apologetic concerning politics. If sju throws out her chest it is because she is justly proud of herself. And when she brags it is always collectively and about something. Criticism does not annoy her for the simple reason that she never hears any, in fact all visitors are so magnanimous in their praise and good will that it would be an impossibility for Peach county to have an inferiority complex. Peach county tells the world that has no money, furthermore she is proud of the fact that she accom¬ big things without money or little money. She caiims thrift, and good management along co-operation as the secret of ier success. STEWART HERE Willima E. Stewart, of Macon, as¬ general freight agent of the of Georgia railway, was his host of friends in Fort Val -last Friday.
