dergo an operation the past week at
Dothan, Ala.
Our Sunday School starts at ten

RANDOM NOTES.
By Old Caesar.
We are indebted this week to
Miss Doris Weaver for social items.
Many thanks.
Miss Callisu Anderson, one of
Pine View’s popular and leading
young ladies, was the guest of Miss
Doris Weaver last Sunday.
Mr. A. T. Smith and sister, of
Columbia, were visitors at the home
of Miss Doris Weaver last Sunday.
Messrs. Robert and Ralph Swann,
of near Blakely, attended the musi
cal entertainment at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Chambers Satur
day night.
A splendid rain fell in this com
munity Monday night, which re
vived everything, and we suppose the
boys will put in some extra efforts
on their already good-looking crops.
Rev. and Mrs. W. P. Stewart, who
have made their home at Miami, Fla.,
for the past year, are now touring
Southeast Alabama visiting their
children. They will reach Georgia
Wednesday or Thursday. Their first
stop will be at the home of Mrs.
Stewart’s brother, Mr. J. W. Ang
lin, after which they will visit other
relatives at Sowhatchee. It will be
a meeting of the oldest and youngest
children of the late J. W. Anglin,
Sr., and S. E. Anglin. Sowhatchee is
the childhood home of Mrs. Stewart.
Her life from early age has been
one of full consecration to God’s
work and with her husband, Rev.
W. P. Stewart, has done some fine
work for God’s cause. We will make
an effort to keep them here till the
fifth Sunday.
What next? One Dr. Ira Lan
drith, of San Antonio, Texas, na
tional extension secretary of the
Christian Endeavor Society, says
the churches should annex courting
booths for the young people, as
they will get together some way
and if the church does not supply the
means they will go to the other ex
treme. Bah! the other extreme!
Many have already reached that
point, and, too, they don’t need
courting booths, the Charleston
dance and many other things to get
the disgusting publicity they have
already reached. Who is to blame?
Home, Church and Sunday School.
As to the day school—Christian in
fluence is a thing of the past with
many of them. Some teachers, lead
ers and preachers like Dr. Landrith
will suggest many damnable in
fluences that will make the future of
numbers of young people fit subjects
for the devil. What is your home?
Who are your preachers, teachers
and leaders?
Messrs. Sevola Jones, B. McEach
ern. Otis Hall and C. L. Roberts, of
Rock Hill, were visitors at Sow
hatchee last Sunday.

hot days. "All the flavor comes from

ROWENA NEWS ITEMS.
By Jumbo.
The commencement exercises of
Rowena Consolidated School started
last Sunday afternoon with a splen
did sermon at the school auditorium
by Rev. Mr. Hancock, of Albany. On
Wednesday night quite an interest
ing play was presented by the little
folks, which was well rendered and
highly appreciated by the full house.
On Friday night the graduation ex
ercises took place. Quite an inter
esting address was delivered by Col.
N. L. Stapleton, of Colquitt, and
diplomas were awarded the follow
ing young people: Emmie Byrd,
Maggie Daniels, Berta Daniels, Ber
nice Meadows, Martha Newberry,
Jean Newberry, Mell Roberts, Wil
liam Clowers, Tennyson Daniel, Har
ry Timmons and Isaac Newberry.
On Monday night last the Seniors
presented the play, “The Fruit of
His Folly,” which was well prepared
and admirably rendered, and was
highly pleasing to the overflow house.
The music rendered each night by
Mrs. J. L. Jay’s orchestra, was just
splendid and highly appreciated by
the audience. We cannot refrain
from mentioning the fact that Floyd
Lewis received a prize, a five dollar
gold piece, for being the best all
round scholar during this term of
school, a record to be proud of. This
has been quite a successful term of
school, and while everybody has not
been entirely satisfied, we believe
the teachers have discharged their
duties faithfully and impartially,
and don’t think the trustees could
do any better than to get the same
corps for another term. One of the
impossibilities of this life is for
school teachers and school trustees
to give perfect satisfaction. You will
always find some kickers.
On Friday before the fifth Sun
day two union meetings will convene
here. The Flint River Primitive
Baptist Association will hold their
union meeting here, and also the
Martin Freewill Baptist Association
will meet here in a union meeting.
It is regrettable that both meetings
will come off at the same time, as
our people generally help each other
in their big meetings.
Miss Florence Taylor was a
guest of her sister, Mrs. Berrien
Martin, at Cedar Springs, last
Elder Petty, of Thomasville, filled
his regular monthly appointment at
the Primitive Baptist church here
last first Saturday and Sunday. He
was accompanied by Elder Davis,
of Grady county, who preached some
good sermons to our people.
Rev. and Mrs. J. M. Emanuel and
son, Paul, visited Tallahassee, Fla.,
on Wednesday of last week.
Mrs. Gus Rabon and baby, of Lib
erty Hill, were guests of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Scott, last first
Saturday and Sunday.
Mrs. Geeslin, after spending sever
al weeks with her daughter here,
Mrs. J. W. Tindol, returned to her
home in Columbus last week.
Mrs. J. L. Scott, accompanied by
Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Davis, were guests
at a birthday dinner at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Garrett, near
Hillside, on the 29th inst., the oc
casion being the 44th birthday an
niversary of Mr. Garrett. A splendid
dinner was spread and the guests
were royally entertained by these
good people, and the wish was ex
pressed that Mr. Garrett would be
permitted to celebrate many more
such happy occasions.
B. D. Ingram, G. C. Davis, W. M.
Carter and C. R. Davis went over to
Albany Monday afternoon to wit
ness the Albany-St. Augustine ball
game.
Rev. J. M. Emanuel made a busi
ness trip to Bainbridge last Friday.

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILWAY TELLS WHY IT
INVITES CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
AND SUGGESTIONS.
Nearly five years ago the Central of Georgia Railway, through the use of paid advertising
space in newspapers, began giving the public information about the railroad situation, in gen
eral, and this railroad in particular. Advertisements have appeared at monthly intervals, each
closing with the request for constructive criticism and suggestions. Ther has been a gratify
ing response, and the management believes that both the railroad and the public it serves have
benefitted from the many constructive criticisms and suggestions received.
The Central of Georgia Railway is continually seeking to improve its service, since it be
lieves that its patrons are entitled to the highest possible standard of service in transportation,
and spares no reasonable expense toward this end. New equipment of the latest type and most
improved design is constantly being purchased. Construction forces are always at work, putting
down heavier rail or new cross-ties, re-ballasting, replacing wooden bridges or trestles with
steel and concrete structures, or improving the grade so as to render quicker, safer and better
service. Locomotives, cars, tracks and other facilities are given frequent and close inspection,
to make sure that they are in condition to render the first-class service to which our patrons are
entitled.
But, even with the best and most nearly perfect equipment and working tools, and with the
most careful supervision, mistakes and errors will occur in the operation of a railroad or any
other organization employing a large force. More than eleven thousand men and women
work for this company. Before being put to work each of these is given a physical and men
tal examination to determine his fitness for a position. The management beleves that no oth
er railroad has a more capable or loyal working force; but there is no essential difference be
tween the men and women who work for the Central of Georgia and those who travel or ship
over this railroad. Being human, the railroad employe is just as likely to make an occasional
error in his work as is the railroad patron at his farm, office, store, shop or home. The man
agement has found the patrons of this railroad fair-minded enough to realize this, and has re
ceived few complaints about purely human errors.
The management believes that the Central of Georgia service is steadily improving. The
records for 1925 show that in spite of the greatest volume of traffic ever handled, this railroad
was never operated more efficiently. Quicker and better service was given the traveling and
shipping public at a lower cost than in previous years, despite steadily increasing costs to the
railroad of everything that goes into the making of transportation. Constructive criticism and
suggestions from our friends and patrons have helped make our service better.
The Central of Georgia is anxious to safeguard its reputation for good service. It hopes
its patrons, friends and employes will continue to show their interest by sending in suggestions
for still further improvements. The railroad patron will frequently observe some defect or im
perfection that escapes the most careful attention of the railroad worker. No matter how small
these defects may be, this railroad wishes to correct them, and thus make its service more nearly
perfect. Our friends will confer a real favor by'bringing these imperfections to our attention.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.

Presdent, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
