Many women have been staying away from town the past week on account of the “Flu.” Others just had to come, but while in the city they were particular to keep a hand kerchief to their mouth and nose— i/ut that talking never ceased. ♦ * * * a Wonder what is the matter with Johnie Spencer. In one of the recent issues of the Macon Telegraph his editorial column looked deserted. This appeared running up and down the column, “The King of Spain and ye scribe have the Spanish Flu.” Could it be that he only had it one day? Next day his column was spicy. * * * * * About the funniest thing that has occured in Bainbridge lately is: When the different sanctified sistern are in a hurry to order ten cents worth of matches over their phone and when central fails to answer the minute they take up the receiver— why they are thinking and looking at tha rata of fifty miles a second and then some . •* The office force presented us with a nice box of candy Saturday after noon while we were in the midst of cleaning office. It was appreciated for sometimes actions speak louder than words—in this case they surely did. » * * * * In G. N. I. college it seems that in some of the rooms they have these "double layer” beds. Some of our Bainbridge girles HAVE occupied top layer of said bed—but no more for one. She found herself on the floor twice in one night last week and after her five feet falls she concluded to sleep with roomate on single bed. ***** Such a relief to see all the men at work and no time to bunch on the street corners to make remarks about the different passers-by who happen ed te have on a hat one-sided or a dress a little crooked or short. May the day dawn when MEN will be too busy to gather to make ill remarks about the fair sex. ***** Sunday seemed like Sunday in j Bainbridge. iV 'AVSVVWVVVVWVVVVVV EVERYTHING IN Building Hardware Sash, Doors, Paints WE CARRY A COMPLETE LINE ....OF....

Some of our sisters have been scar ed silly over the idea of taking the influenza. Said parties have used unceasingly gargles, nose sprays and asaifeotida. It would be bad but rather funny if these scared ones should be come victims. ***** The report comes to us that all of our Decatur county boys are making good in their various departments of serviee. We knew that they would for this is a characteristic of all De- caturites. We feel proud of them. ***** It is such a pleasure for us to sit in our little sanctum and write. Somehow or “uther” our thoughts flow smoother since our living place has had the dust and spider webs re moved. We believe now that we will live to write a few items of interest. ***** Several Decatur county boys are writing us to put their name on our mailing list. They say, “We cannot live without the Post-Search Light.” Our efforts are appreciated after all. t —M. K. Special Notice to Club Members We have asked you in personal let ters recently to file out your record books and send in to us at your very earliest convenience, but as we have not had the response we wish we take this method of reminding you again. Perhaps you have not kept up with it as you wish and have not done so on that account or perhaps it is my fault and you have not had one sent you, but the point we must make is this, it is very necessary for us to have the records of all who have done anything in this work, poultry or canning, so ae to get up our an nual report for the Ceunty. Now this is our County and we want to make the very best showing we can even if we were “learning to walk” this year, so it iB up to you to help me out. Without your report I can make none. Let me know at once if you have had no record book. It makes no difference whether you had an exhibit or not, the record is nec essary, and just here let me say that we really “did ourselves proud” at the Fair. I wish every one of our club members could have seen the splendid exhibits, in canned goods and poultry, and I am sure those who did were all inspired with visions of what can be accomplished another year, and have already begun to work that they may be realized. Now please let’s have those record books, for I just have not the enve lopes or cards to remind you again, and I do not believe you want Uncle Sam to go to that extra expense or j to take up more of my valuable time in this way.

ALFORD How About the Farmer The end of the fourth Liberty Loan campaign is close at hand, the South has not fully met its share of this national obligation There have been many subscriptions, and many of them »ere 1 There were some which represented merely the surplus money of w« folk; there were many which meant real self-denial by the poor.
