A bit of realism was injected into
a first aid class at a meeting of the
State Guard last week. Guardsman
(and a physician) Jack Standifer had
just completed a lecture on applying
first aid to a patient who faints.
Just as the lecture came to a close
one of the members toppled over in
a real, sure enough faint. The
Guardsmen all gathered around while
Dr. Standifer resuscitated the oblig
ing patient.
This will probably cause our
friend, Judge Arthur Powell, of At
lanta, to lose some of his feminine
friends, but last week in a talk be
fore the Pataula Bar Association held
here, he made this observation about
the weaker sex: “Women will talk
about anything and won’t talk about
anything else.”
We got this story from Mr. Henry
Clark and we pass it on to you:
He says that he was in a store the
other day when a small Negro boy
came in and asked to use the tele
phone. He telephoned a lady here
in town and this is one end of the
conversation- which he heard:
“Lady, does you want to hire a
boy to work in your yard and to run
errands?”
The lady evidently replied that
she already had a boy to do these
chores, because the boy came back
with this question, “Is dis boy giving
complete satisfaction and is you sat
isfied with him?”
Again the answer must have been
in the affirmative because the Negro
boy thanked her very politely and
hung up the receiver.
When the boy started to walk
out of the store the proprietor ques
tioned him. “Boy, what are you
calling up that lady for; don’t you
already work up there?”
“Yassah, I does,” replied the Ne
gro boy, “but.l just wanted to check
up on myself.”
Just to keep the record straight,
we would like to divulge a little
light on a matter which should be of
interest to certain voters in the
coming gubernatorial election. Some
of Governor Talmadge’s friends in
the county have been spreading the
rumor that ol’ Gene was responsible
for the old age pension bill. These
people are led to believe that Gover
nor Talmadge alone is responsible
for them getting the pension. When,
as a matter of fact, he vetoed the
bill, not once, but twice. Former
Governor Rivers was responsible for
this helpful piece of legislation.
Anyone who will write and get a
copy of the Acts of the House of
1935 can find out. we know whereof
we speak.
Last week President Roosevelt
put the quietus on his questioners
concerning where General James
Doolittle took off when he bombed
Tokyo. The president told them that
the place was Shangri-la. Since then
thousands of people have been seek
ing Shangri-la on the map. Shangri
la really isn’t a place at all. It is
the namq of a country created by
the author, James Hilton, who wrote
that tender and poignant story, Lost
Horizon. If you read the book or
saw the motion picture, you will re
member that Shangri-la was the
country in which the story took

To the members of the grad

County Schools we extend our
sincere congratulations and wish
for you much success and hap
piness throughout the coming

Mrs. E. F. Chandler
Passes at Her Home
In Clay County
Funeral services for Mrs. Emma
Lee Cain "Chandler, 58, former Ear
ly countian, who died last Thursday
at her home in Clay county, were
held Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock
at the Pleasant Grove church, with
the Rev. Aiken Etheridge officiating.
Interment was in Pleasar.t Grove
cemetery, with the Minter, Fellows
& Forrester Funeral Home in charge
of arrangements. Serving as pall
bearers were three of her sons,
Fryerson, Albert and Robert Chand
ler, and three sons-in-law, Haynes
Knight, Clarence White and Harvey
Woolf.
Mrs. Chandler was a native of
Early county, where she was born
February 9, 1884. She was a daugh
ter of A. B. Cain and Lula Pearson
Cain and spent most of her life in
Early county, moving to Clay some
six or seven years ago. She was
widely related and had many friends
who were grieved to learn of her
death. She was a member of the
Pleasant Grove church.
Surviving are her husband, Ed
mond Fryerson Chandler; two sis
ters, Mrs. Jim Cox and Mrs. Vernon
Jordan; six brothers, W. L., J. C., A.
8., A. 0., Grady and Julius Cain;
and eleven children, Mrs. Haynes

White of Edison, Mrs. Harvey Woolf

place. It was a place where every
one was perfectly contented, nobody
hated anybody, everybody loved ev
erybody, no hate abounded any
where, everybody did the job which
they loved to do, and most remarka
ble of all, everybody enjoyed perpet
ual youth. It is a highly imagi
native piece of creative writing and
made a grand motion picture (one of
the best we ever saw) and nobody
but our president would have thought
to name this place in order to hush
a too inquisitive public.
Be sure and remember this term.
It might come in handy at a later
date. Especially by men in the
armed forces who will be questioned
about their destinations by an in
quiring public. It might even come
in handy to married men when the
spouse meets them at the door
around two a. m. and very definite
ly wants to know “where in the
have you been?” On second thought,
“Shangri-la” might not be the ap
priate answer to cope with a situa
tion of this particular nature. Be
cause every man ain’t a president,
not even in his own home. Just tell
her that you’ve been to the fish
camp. That seems to be the stock
answer around our town right now.
We hope you attended as many as
one of the recent Baptist revival
services. Because one of these days
the Rev. H. B. Shepherd is going to
be a big preacher and you will want
to say that you knew him when. It
is our prediction that you are going
to hear a lot about “Shep” from
now on. He is young, capable, and
still studying; possesses a swell voice,
and has a magnetic personality. You
can’t beat a combination like this,
especially when one is in business
with the Lord.
