ANNOUNCEMENT
There will be a joint meeting
of the Woman’s Missionary So
ciety and the Parsonage Aid
Society of the Methodist church
June 11, 1918 at the home of
Mrs. F. A. Ricks.
Important Notice to Reynolds
Methodists.
For good reasons, known to
every one, we have missed the
iast three regular Sunday morn
ing services at the Methodist
church, and the service last Sun
day evening, when the Rev. Mr.
Johnstone preached for us, has
been the only preaching service
since the second Sunday in May.
Now let every aone make it
point to be in your place next
Sunday, modning and evening.
At the morning hour we shall
elect delegates to the approach
ing District Conference to be
held at Lumpkin the latter part
of the month, besides another
important matter or two that
should be attended to. The
pastor will endeavor to bring
you a message from the word of
God at each service dealing with
matters of fundamental import.
Let us not permit our Sunday
School interest to lag. If we
are not careful, we may find our
selves making the excuse that
the weather is too hot, and the
nights too short, etc., and there
by cheat ourselves out of some
of the rich things which our
•good God has provided for us.
Sincerely youi>,
J. H. ALLEN, Pastor.
Hon. Sam Olive, the commence
ment speaker, was delightfully
entertained while in Reynolds by
Hon. and Mrs. C. B. Marshall.
Misses Elder and Barron, of the
Reynolds High School faculty the
past year, returned to their res
pective homes yesterday carrying
with them the very best wishes of
hosts of warm friends. They
were accompanied as far as Ro
berta by Col. and Mrs. Homer
Beeland.

| The Reynolds High School
| closed Wednesday night, June
the fourth, after a very success
ful year and an unusually en
joyable commencement. Reg
ular class work ended with final
examinations on Thursday and
Friday of the previous week.
The Commencement exercises
began Friday evening at 8:30,
when the pupils of Miss Simp
son’s music class gave a recital,
consisting of both vocal and in
strumental music. The whole
class showed exceptionally good
training. An enjoyable feature
of the evening was the singing
oi theStar Spangled Banner by
Miss Simpson accompanied by
Miss Bonnie Newsom.
Sunday morning at 11 o’clock
the commencement sermon w as
preached by Rev. J. B. Johnston
of St. Paul Methodist church,
Columbus, and although he had
preached in our town before he
never preached more learned!}"
or more eloquently than on this
occasion. His particulaly ap
propriate subject was “Light.”
The expression class of Miss
Elder gave a recital on Monday
evening consisting of readings
and short plays. The selections
which made up the program
were especially interesting and
well rendered. A delightful ex
tra feature was a declamation
by Earle Williams, of Smithville
“Why we are Fighting Germa
ny,” a speech of Secretary Lane
made before Congress shortly
after America entered the pres
ent war, and now being given at
many commencements and ora
torical contests. The patriotic
nature of the selection and its
excellent rendition won the
young speaker much applause.
An exhibit of the pictures of
Miss Elder’s art class was open
for inspection Friday afternoon
and remained open until the end
of the commencement exercises.
Many patront and others inter
ested visited the art room and
all agreed that the work was
very creditable indeed.
The graduating exercises took
LINES TO OUR DEPARTING SOLDIERS.
The time has come to say “Good-bye,” you soldier boys must go
Upon the field of battle, that your young hearts do not know
You’re just a bnuch of real live Southerners and we will bank on
you
To guide our color to the front and rush them nobly through.
What matters how the cannon roar, when Southerners face the
Gaff?
The fighting spirit’s always there, while old Glory’s on the staff.
Old Glory! boys, the name just thrils me through and through, J
And I know, boys, that grand old name has the same effect on you i
For freedom’s sake. That’s why you’re sent across the briny deep
To fight in France where lives are spent, that loiberty, might keep
Go to it boys, when you get there as in the days of yore,
Whenall Grandads, aside by side, brought freedom to the fore.
There’s glory waiting on those fields, thre’s a name for every man
Who wants to do his level best, just like a Southerner can,
There are names like Washington, and Grant, Farragut and Lee
Awaiting there upon those fields, who’ll bring us victory ?
We’re parting soon, but not for long, at least we hope that way.
We’re with you all in spirit, boys though at home some must saty.
Just think about the stars and stripes, the battles they’ve been
through.
And keep them floating to the skies, the task is up to you.
Your Grandads all were scrappers, boys, no kings could hold’em
down;
Now you go out and do your bit, and do the Kaiser Brown.
What matters how the cannon roar, when Southerners face the
Gaff?
Thefighting spirit’s always there, while Old Glory’s on the staff.
