Funeral Services For Aubry Goode Held At Dade City, Fla., Feb. 21 (From The Dade City Banner) Dade City, Fla., Feb. 27—A throng of sorrowing friends and many relatives, including a num ber from out-of-town, gathered Saturday afternoon at the funeral home of Coleman and Ferguson Co. for the chapel service held at four o'clock for Aubrey Goode, whose death on Thursday in a train col lision of Seaboard trains on the East Coast was a shocking event. The accident occurred near Boyn ton when the northbound Sun Queen of Miami delayed in mak ing it into a siding to give the Orange Blossom Special its sched uled right of way. Mr. Goode was serving as fireman on the latter train although he held the title of engineer which he acquired several 'months ago after a long period of faithful service with the railroad. Thomas Aubry Goode, 39, was a native of Taylor County, Georgia where he was born Sept. 4, 1902, the son of J. B. and Bertha Riviere Goode. He came to Dade City in his early youth and attended school here. In addition to his position of seniority with the railroad, the de ceased was a prominent business man of Dade City as the owner of one of the city's most up-to-date restaurants, and through his busi ness connections and long resi dence here he has made a host of friends who held him in the high est esteem, as evidenced by the large attendance at his funeral and the profusion of lovely flowers. Rev. W. R. Boland, pastor of the Methodist church, conducted the services and a quartet from the church choir rendered special mu this hilarious, slap-happy domestic sic interment was in the Dade life of the Charles family with the city cemetery under the direction fascinating murder mystery.

Kendrick NEW MODERN FIXTURES INSTALLED IN THE BUTLER POSTOFFICE THIS WEEK Stamp Canceling Machine and Other Equipment to be Furnished Local Office by Government Citizens of Butler were admiring Tuesday the complete new and modern fixtures installed over night in the local postoffice. Postmaster C. E. Benns stated that the newly installed fixtures as modern and beautiful as could be purchased and would compare fa vorably with any postoffice in the state regardless of size or class of postoffice. Much credit for making thi$ equipment available is due Dr. R. C. Montgomery, owner of the post office building. Dr. Montgomery was recently awarded a new 10- year lease on the building by the the government.. While extending thanks and ap preciation to those responsible for these improvements, Congressman Stephen Pace, of this district, should be remembered. For it was Mr. Pace who used his good office and best efforts in contacting the headsof the postoffice department in Washington in obtaining their approval for this large expenditure by the government. In addition to the new fixtures the building has undergone gen eral improvement, and repainting of inside walls, floor and ceiling is to begin this week. Postmaster Benns stated that the public was deriving a great deal of pleasure in learning the loca tion and dial number of their new boxes. The post office department has advised the Postmaster that besides UPSHAW SPEAKS HERE MONDAY ON LIQUOR SITUATION Former Congressman a n d a Presidential Candidate, Gives Interesting Lecture. A large number of Taylor county citizens gathered at the court househere Monday evening to hear an able address by Hon. Wm. D. Upshaw, former congressman and a “dry" candidate for president in 1932. Mr. Upshaw was introduced to the audience by Hon. W. E. Steed, president of the Taylor County Bar Association. Discussing the liquor situation in Georgia, the speaker declared: “If the federal government will not follow the example of Wood- row Wilson's wartime administra tion," said the one-time dry can didate for president, "and take liquor away from the drinking, staggering soldier, defenders of this country, then in the name of God and decency and freedoih let the fearless Governor of Geor gia call a special session of the Legislature to redeem the vote of Eugene Talmadge and over 8,000 others five years ago against the sale of liquor, and make Georgia the one decent state in this Union,' where no soldier or sailor will be allowed to disgrace the uniform which is the inslgna of their courage and the emblem of their patriotism." "Conditions now," said the "dry" crusader, “are actually intolerable to every patriotic local citizen who wants to give 100 per cent loyalty Ed ( Swearingen Hugh Bone J. M. Downs J C.

Recently the Dean of Asbury College, Wllmore, Kentucky, nam ed Miss Leetimae Folds as one of the nine selected from a freshman class of 200 students as eligible for student-faculty membership. What ever else this may mean, the cita tion carries with it the significance of being a best all-round student in scholarship, character, extra curricula activities, attitude and student-faculty relationships. We will recall that Miss Folds graduated from Butler High school class 1941, completing the high school work in three years, and en tering Asbury College at 15 years of age. Inspite of these facts she is carrying four regular full time courses of academic subjects, doing choral club work, member of the Christian Service League, and maintaining at least a "B” average which is from 85 to 95 percent. Miss Folds is the attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. V. P. Folds who are now in charge ofi u P the Georgia Industrial Home lo-j J question ^concerning cated at Macon.

Philmon, Butler, Ga., R. 2. soldiers around every training camp I have visited (except Al bany, glory be) and when I re cently wired these facts to Presi dent Roosevelt he very promptly referred my wire to the War De partment; and I received a dis gusting letter from some petty of ficer, making this insane pro nouncement: 'We feel that soldiers should not be denied privileges that other citizens enjoy.’ “In otherwords, the War De partment says that soldiers should be allowed the privilege of getting drunk and disgracing the uniform and the flag they claim to defend. That's a glittering prevarication, sometimes called a lie. America can no more win this war with drunken soldiersthan France could win with soldiers sodden with drink and shame. “If Gov. Talmadge will throw himself into this moral and patri otic emergency, calling on the sol diers in our midst what Congress refused to do for the soldiers of the nation, it will electrify Ameri ca, send a moarl thrill among the struggling democracies, and give Hitler, Mussolini and the Japs a spell of cramp colic, chills and fe ver, and conniption fits, all in our glorious hour of European and Asiatic consternation, "Come on Gene! The moral forc es of the nation look to Georgia to lead in the epochal hour as she led the South against liquor in 1907. Other states around us will rise again to warn the nation't heart.” Mr. Upshaw paid high tribute to the W. C. T. U. and spoke of his pride in wearing the white badge of the Women's Christian Tem perance Union. “Don't send your children to Sunday school,” said the former lawmaker, “but go and take them with you. And whatever else you do, for God's sake, for your chil dren's sake, do not send your chil dren out to face the temptations of the terrible times, having to say, ‘I never heard my father or mother pray.’ A prayerless home is America's greatest tragedy.” During the talk Mr. Upshaw, said that the 18th amendment was “wrapped in prayer and passed by due legislative process.” He held dollar bill as he asked a its passage, of Miss Mary Nann Hollis of Reynolds, answered correctly and was given the dollar. Monday morning Mr. Upshaw delivered an address at the Butler High school auditorium and Mon day afternoon he spoke to the students and teachers of Reynolds High school.
