Fugate Delivered Memorial Address.—Under Auspices of the Pareut-Teacher Association Under the auspices of the Parent- Teacher Association a large crowd of representative Barrow county citizens I gathered in the school auditorium last Tuesday to celebrate Memorial Day. The large auditorium was filled tp overflowing with the old soldiers, cit izens and school children. The stage was beautifully decorated with flowers appropriate for the occa sion. Dr. H. M. Fugate, pastor of the Tat ial Square Baptist church, delivered the address of the morning and with his incisive logic and splendid eloquence paid glowing tribute to the memory of the Confederate heroes and the matchless service they rendered human ity and the noble ideals they fostered. He spoke of the rich heritage they had left their children and grand children, and of the noble men who fought in the recent world war, stressing the im- J portance of being fair in our dealings, with colored race and observing the laws of the land. The speaker was introduced by Rev. S. K. Grubb, after fitting songs by the school. Dr. Fugate is a Virginian, a graduate of the famous Virginia Mili tary Institute at Lexington, the son of a Confederate veteran, and the large throng who listened to his address was pleased beyond measure with the ora ator of the day. Little Miss Pauline Roberts sung a solo and the audience was dismissed with prayer by Rev. L. Wilkie Collins, j Some twenty of the Confederate vet- Uthus were present and their many ; friends rejoiced to see them in good health and delighted to honor them in this occasion. They are fast growing fewer and feebler. I Mr. Carl Fagan Suffers Misfortune Mr. Carl Fagan happened to a pain ful and serious misfortune last week. He was handling a dynamite cap think ing it was an old cartridge hull, and it exploded tearing the thumb and two lingers off his left hand.

He was working with Wat son, Glover & Cos., and will be absent from his post quite a while. FINE CHERRIES. Mr. £. F. Smith brought to our office Tuesday morning a bunch of unusually fine cherries that were fully ripe and as delicious as any we have ever eaten. They were large and luscious. Mr. Smith brought this tree when only a small twig from Oconee county, and it lias proven an unusually fine cherry. He has named it the “Princess,” and will propagate from this tree in time to put on the market next year. This tree is growing on Mr. June Jackson’s lot, and is full of ripe cherries now. These are the earliest cherries we have ever heard of. A. & M. MEETS TECH HI HERE SATURDAY. Arrangements have been made with the officials of the Fifth District A. & M.

SUNBURY CHAPTER D. A. R. ORGANIZED Mrs. George H. Fortson Received Her Appointment From Washington D. C., with Authority to Organize the Chapter. On February sth, 1920, Mrs. G. H. Fortson received her appointment from Washington, 1). C., to organize a D. A R. Chapter in Winder. Not knowing all eligible members it required weeks to find twelve members, the minimum number, to organize a chapter. On account of two applica tions being held for additional informa tion the Suubury Chapter was not of ficially jrecognized until April 16th, 1921. In the meantime, however, the eligible members gave a splendid pro gram at the school building in commem oration of Memorial Day, the first ob servance in several years. Many re member the excellent address by Judge It. B. Russell, and scores of people complimented Judge Russell and the Chapter members for the enjoyable ijncl inspiring program. A 1). A. It. medal has been offered the pupils in the school making the highest average in American History. Three new applications will be con firmed at the next National Board meeting. It is the aim of the Sunbury Chapter to fill its place acceptably in the ranks of D. A. R. workers and to ever live worthy of our ancestors who counted no sacrifice too great, if it attained Liberty and Independence. A “Daughter of the American Rev olution” Ims attained the highest hon or ever conferred by any society or or ganization because indisputable records proved her descended from an Ameri can Patriot. It is a title that can not he purchased. The only way it is at tained must he that you have the blood of an American Patriot coursing thru your veins. The emblem of the society is the American Flag and each member pledges allegiance to the flag and the republic for which it stands, one na tion indivisible, with Liberty and Jus tice for all.—Chapter Member.

ADVANCE SHOWING OF GREAT PICTURE On Account of Some Objections Private Showing Arranged Monthly for “Dead Men Tell No Tales.” The picture “Dead Men Tell No Tales,” which is booked for The Strand Theater Thursday and Friday of thiN week, was given a private showing on Monday. Some little objection has arisen possibly on account of the title which has been seen on every hand for Ihe past month, of the advisability of permitting this picture to be shown, many people calling at this office aud we understand some few called upon the Mayor for information regarding this picture. For these reasons Man ager Ixive of the Strand had the plct- ure shipped out and on Monday noti fied the mayor and city reviewers to attend a private showing of the film. A representative of The News was 'invited to be present and witness the showing and was present. AVe admit that "Dead Men Tell No Tales” is one of the most thrilling and spectacular productions ever transferr ed to celluloid, yet there is nothing to shock the modesty of the most fastidl oiis. most stories the big thrills are in the first scenes The pic ture was made at Oakdale, L. I. There buried in the woods is an ancient an cestral home, surrounded by an estate of about three thousand acres of pine woods and firs. The mansion which hus more than a hundred rooms, was built fifty years ago, aiul modeled English Style. The owner to satisfy the whips of a wom an traveled the whole of Europe col lecting antiques and marvelous wood carvings from the palaces of Italy and the chateau of France to ftix the interiors in proper style. The palace although having cost $3,- 000.000.00, almost immediately was de serted. The woman jilted the owner and he shot himself in one of the bed rooms. No one ever -d there.lt is presumed to be haunted. One of the four villians has a re deeming feature. This man, an impov erished English squire, never approves the “dead men tell no tales, doctrine. The picture play will arouse some sym pathy for John Rattray, and he is permitted to make his escape, while his associates jn crime are killed. SNOW IN APRIL 1910. Last Tuesday morning. Memorial Day, while we were standing in front of the postffioce, Mr. H. F. Pirkle came up and stated that just 11 years ago that day a good snow fell in this sec tion. This was April 26, 1910, and con ditions were just abut as favorable for a crop as they are this year. A fairly good crop was made that year.

The News made an error in the ad vertisement of the above firm in it| issue of last week. We stated that they were selling Pink Lady flour fot $2.25 per 50 pounds and it should have been $2.55. We do not know how this error slipped in unless it was because they are selling everything so cheap that we just put ir down that way. Anywny they are selling flour mighty cheap and the people are buying it to beat the baud. Willie (T.) Pendergrass, who is a member of the News force when not in school, lias been seriously sick for the past week, hut is improving now and was able to come down town Tuesday.
