ROTARY CLUB HAS
GOOD ATTENDANCE
Luncheon Featured by Readings and
Talks on Boys.
21 of the membership of 24 were
present at the weekly lunchheon of
the Blakely Rotary Club, held at
noon Wednesday, besides a number
of visitors.
Misses Mary Frances Williams
and Claire Phillips, of Piper, Ala.,
were guests of Rotarian Denny Wade,
the latter favoring the Club mem
bers with two amusing readings.
Rotarian Bunyan Stephens, of the
Tallahassee Rotary Club, was a
guest of the Club, and was given a
glad hand by friends formed during
his recent visit to Blakely, when he
assisted Pastor Hartsfield in a revival
meeting at the Baptist church.
Two Club members, Rotarians
Grist and Duke, gave excellent short
talks on Boys, both of which were
pleas for a more encouraging and
sympathetic attitude on the part of
the men toward the youth of our
city.
Mr. R. M. Hendee, of the Abbeville,
Ala., Food Products Co., who is
in the city in an effort to enlist the
aid of our citizenry in establishing a
canning factory, gave a short talk
of the wonderful possibilities of the
canning industry.
Miss Amzie Jones furnished the
music for the occasion.
THE SOWHATCHEE
REVIVAL CLOSES
The revival meeting recently con
ducted at Sowhatchee Missionary
Baptist church by Pastor W. T.
Bodenhamer, assisted by Rev. J. S.
Hartsfield, who did the greater por
tion of the preaching, was closed
with last Thursday morning’s ser
vices.
The baptismal services were held
that afternoon at Sheffield’s Mill.
Pastor Bodenhamer administered the
ordinance to ten converts, this being
his first experience in baptizing
others. Two joined by letter.
Mr. T. E. Bush, the blind singer,
conducted the song service during
the last week of the meeting, and
was a marvel to those who witnessed
his splendid work.
The church experienced a general
revival and the influence of the
meeting on the community at large
will be lasting.
BASEBALL.
The Blakely and Cuthbert base
ball teams stand even on the series
thus far played, the two teams hav
ing won two each. A game is being
played in Cuthbert this afternoon
and tomorrow afternoon the six |
game series will be concluded on the
Blakely diamond. The boys have
corralled an excellent team and the
attendance at the games should be
good. Ozark, Ala., fell victim to
the homelings last Monday afternoon
to the tune of 11-3.

AN EDITORIAL.
Lack of marketing facilities is the great hindrance to the
success of diversified farming in this wonderful section.
Just now the business men of Blakely and the farmers of
Early county have the finest opportunity that has come their
way in a long time to create a profitable market for every con
ceivable surplus vegetable and fruit that grows so abundantly
in this section—an all the year round market.
Mr. R. M. Hendee, of the Hendee Construction Co., of
Abbeville, Ala., who is the superintendent of the canning fac
tory at Abbeville, now in active operation, is spending several
days in Blakely explaining to our people the method by which
his organization hopes to establish a chain of ten or more can
ning factories under a common organization throughout South
Alabama. South Georgia. North Florida and Southern Mississ
ippi. Mr. Hendee is an expert, having spent some twenty
years in the canning business in the North before coming South
to establish a factory at Brewton. Ala., and later to Abbeville
to establish another, both now in successful operation.
He says the beauty about this section is that something
can be found to can every month in the year, while up North
they have at most only four months of the growing season.
To realize the possibilities involved in the proposition, one
has only to go into the average grocery store and look at the
various kinds of canned goods displayed there and then contem
plate the fact that nearly all of them can be raised and canned
here.
Recently an Abbeville gentleman was displaying a can
containing turnip greens, what we Southern people call turnip
salad, which he found on sale in one of the stores in his town.
Mr. Hendee says that there are untold profits to be made from
canning turnip greens alone, and hundreds of acres would be
needed to supply the factory’s wants in the winter time when
other vegetables and fruits were not to be had.
Mr. Hendee and his associates offer to take a considerable
block of stock in the factory and the building and operating
company is to be organized on conservative lines, with the full
realization that the operation of a successful canning business
depends upon knowledge, skill and careful supervision.
We hope every interested citizen —business man or far
mer—wiH drop in at Dr. E. L. Fryer’s real estate office and talk
with Mr. Hendee while he is here. He is here to help us help
ourselves.
Opportunity has knocked loudly at our door. Will we
open the door and let her in?
MR. ANDREW JACKSON,
HURTSBORO, ALA.
Dies at Home of His Daughter, Mrs.
Robert Freeman, in Blakely.
Mr. Andrew Jackson, of Hurts
boro, Ala., aged 79 years, father of
Mrs. Robert F. Freeman, died at the
I
home of his daughter in Blakely Mon
day night last at 9:30 o’clock, after
a brief illness.
The deceased, with his aged wife,
was on a visit to his daughter’s home
when taken ill. His remains were
carried to Hurtsboro, Ala., Tuesday
for interment. Besides his wife, Mr.
Jackson is survived by two sons,
Mr. Isaac Jackson of Jacksonville,
Fla., and Mr. Wm.' Jackson of Bir
mingham, Ala., and by two daugh
ters, Mrs. Freeman of Blakely and
Mrs. Zilemma Bracey of Hurtsboro,
Ala.
The bereaved wife and other loved
ones have the sympathy of our peo
ple in their sorrow.
