GERMAN-RUSSIAN MEMORIAL DAY C.H.S. BASE BALL
Alliance Threatens
Shccess at Genoa.
Kussiu has followed the example |
of the United States, and lias made a !
separate treaty of peace with Ger
many.
The treaty, however, really takes ■
the form of an alliance, as far as
commerce is ooncerned, nnd there is
no doubt that it will become a mili
tary alliance if occasion arises. Both
countries cancel their war debts to
one another.
The other nations of Europe nat-1
urally regard this alliance with sus
picion and alarm, nnd Germany nnd I
Russia will not be allowed to remain ]
in the Genoa conference unless the
treaty is rescinded, and this may
break up the conference. As a mat
ter of fact, such an alliance threatens
the peace and safety of the entire
world.

JIM HUTCHESON
Killed by Train Satur
day at Newnan.
Mr Jas. D. Hutcheson, one of the
Central Railway’s most popular em
ployees, met with sudden death Sat
urday at Newnan. He was on the
side of a freight car, and was caught
between the car end a platform, and
was so badly crushed that he died in
n c&uple of hours. The remains were
brought to his home here that even
ing.
Mr. Hutcheson was a most excel
lent young man, thirty-one years of
age, and was a member of the First
Baptist church. He is survived by
his wife, who wus Miss Marguret Par
ker, of Griffin, and who has the sin
cere sympathy of all in her tragic
bereavement.
Funeral services were conducted
Sunday afternoon at tho home on
Philpot street by his pastor, Rev. C.
A. DeVane, under the auspices of
Caledonia Lodge, No. 121, F. & A.
M., in which he had only recently
taken the degrees. Tl\c remains
were taken to his boyhood home in
Buchanan for interment, the Central
providing a special train for tho pur-
pose. ^
Coming from a distance to attend
tho funeral were his sisters, Miss I
Aulyno from Aragon and Miss '
Catherine from Birmingham; his un
cle, Hon. Thos. A. Hutcheson, and I
Mr J. W. Pope from Buchanan; and '
Mr* Hhtcheson’s mother, Mrs. W. I
Pndkcr, and brother and sister, For-!
rest and Miss Grace, from Atlanta, j
It is indeed strange that a young
man should go unscathed through !
tho fierce fighting in France of the
42d Division, to which he belonged,
only to lose his life in such a tragic
accident.

The Presbyterians of Cedartown

The Missionary Committee met
Tuesday nternoon, and the sessions
of the Presbytery opened that even

There have been good sermons,

opresented the 38th District in the
Senate. It was through his efforts
while a member of the Senate that
the Dallas High School became a
free school.
"During his residence in Dallas he
has been actively identified with the
most progressive movements of town
and county. He is president of tho
Chamber of Commerce and chair
man of the Dallas school board. He
is endowed with a vigorous, aggres
sive nature which would peculiarly
fit him for the duties of the office he
seeks. His ability as a lawyer is at
tested by the rapidly growing prac
tice which he enjoys, and this ability,
coupled with the whole-hearted zeal
and unflagging energy which he gives
to whatever he undertakes, should as
sure him a most successful adminis
tration of the affairs of the office of
Solicitor General if he is elected.”
Typhoid Vaccine.
(Georgia State Bear'd of Health.)
Typhoid fever was responsible for
more deaths in the United States
during 1921 than in 1920. From
1913 through 1920 the death rate had
declined each year, and the preval
ence of this disease was in many sec
tions of but slight Importance. Mnny
communities hud begun to feel that
this disease was a condition of by
gone years only. For this ronson the
citizens, no doubt, begun to lessen
their efforts to protect theniselves,
and in the time of their unprepared-
ness typhoid came in and stole mnny
of the people.
In Georgia alone 789 victims were
claimed by this disease during 1921.
The prevention of typhoid fever is
simple and inexpensive. To fail to
acquire protection by means af anti
typhoid inoculation is exceedingly
unwise.
Your State Board of Heulth pre
pares the vaccine and sends it free
to any citizen of the state. Each
person is warned not to deluy in se
curing this easy und certain method
of protection.
Regurdless of the boll weevil nnd
in defiance of all the dictates of pru
dence, the cotton acreage planted
this spring bids fair to be one of the
largest in history. And unless suf
ficient attention is pal'd at the same
time to food and feed supplies, many
a furmer is riding to ruin next fall—
in fact, “fall” will cover the situa
tion very completely as to both the
season and his condition.

More Blue Quail.
Another dozen-of the beautiful
Blue Quail and several dozen Pheas
ants’ eggs arrived here through the

tive Association, and we will soon
haVc a good start for some fine game
birds on various farms In the coun
ty.
The Association is doing all in its
power to oncotlrage law-abiding
sportsmanship,' and its members are
naturally vory Indignant that some
miscreant recently dynamited the
Benedict millpond, killing aU the
fish there. Such a thing is both law
less and senseless, and is a piece of
vandalism that should be severely
punished. The Association offers a re
ward of $50 for the apprehension of
the guilty party.

meets at Rockmart this evening at
