COVINGTON, Ga •9 FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1903.
BAZAAR PROVES
great success.
1
Good Work Done by the Ladies
to Pay Off the Church
Indebtedness. 1
The much talked of and widely
advertised bazaar given by the la
dies of the Methodist church t<>se
cure funds to liquidate the indebt
edness of the church, opened with
a rush Monda y morning. I
The bazaar was held in the
Boorstin building next door to the
Bank ot Covington. The room
was artistically decorated and in
the middle of the room was con
structed a stand where coSee, tea,
c ‘^ a,s and like were sold,
The store was crowded with ar
tides to tempt the hard-earned
sheckles from the pockets of the
individuals who passed that way.
Anything from a stove down to a
bat P' u was > n evidence.
Many things of value, beauty
and utility were displayed before
*be gaze of the bargain seeking
P u blie, and there were agreable la¬
dies to take your money and gave
you a sweet smile with each article i
purchased.
About $500 will be realized from
the bazaar. These goods were all
donated by manufacturers and
leading wholesale In,uses.
Trained Men in Demand.
That i
all the professions aTe
crowded more than ever befoie is a
proposition that will not be dispu
ted by any one who is familiar 1
WiLu U Li. k. a e lull. me towns ’
cities and villages of the country

but barely able to eku out a scant
existauce. It is only in very ral e
instances that n professional man
scores a marked financial success.
i'he cause or this is manifest—
there is not work enough in the
professional fields lor ail the pro
a 1 men, and some ot them
must needs find little to do.
But a new era has dawned upon
the country and a broad and profit
able field is opened to the young
men. This is to be found in the
industrial trades. Never, perhaps,
in the history of the country was
there so great a demand for trained j
labor—men who have been taught
to work with their hands as well |
as with their brains. I he field of
industrial day. activity New methods is broadening be- | :
every are
ing employed and skilled men are
required to successfully carry them
out. The practical work of the
wold requires and demands skilled
brains and skilled hands. Presi¬
dent Lyman Hall, of the Georgia
School of Technology, made some
very wise remarks along this line
at the Ice Manufacturers’ banquet
in Atlanta recently. He said :
11 The south needs trade schools
where a boy can attend for three or
four years, or perhaps slightly less,
and when he graduates be compe¬
tent to do a good journeyman trades
man work. There is not one of
these schools from the southern
boundary of Pennsylvania to be
yound Texas. ? >
Young men of proper train are
in demand in all parts of the coun¬
try. Positions are open to them
that the untrained and inexperien¬
ced cannot touch, and it is in this
direction that the young man of
today should look for success and
fortune.
