Thompson Enjoys Day at Old “Stamping Ground” and Gets Square Meal. In the best state of the Union and the best county in that state and in the best section of that county is sit uated the Tyro school. The citizenry help tp make it as it is. The creator of all things blessed this section with soil, climate, hill and val ley to a degree of such perfectness that there has never been a failure but abun dant crops have been gathered. Tyro 4tua ted "near the top of a ridge be tween the waters of Parker nnd Buck Creeks in the Northeast part of Bar row county. It is six miles frem Winder, nine miles from Jefferson and five miles from "Statham. The present house was built some ten years ago and they have had fine success in keeping a good lice school at this place until two years ago a school was organized at Johnson which hurt this school as well as the school at Liberty. I cannot see why te good people don’t nil unite and have two nine months school at each of these two places and bring Johnson pupils to these. The school at Tyro has been presided over this year by Mrs. Eula- Pierce McKeever and on last Fri day the school term closed. It has been a custom for a half century to celebrate the closing by giving a bar becue, a big eat and hand shake. Last Saturday was the day for this social union. I, remembering other days. -ent for no other purpose than to get a square meal. When we got there the house was -attv well filled and the pupils per forming their part well, in singing, and reciting at the close of the school work. Prof. Brookshire, school superinten dent. made an interesting talk. The whole of the exercises go to prove Mrs. AN ENJOYABLE REUNION OF THE CROOK FAMILY HELD AUGUST THE NINTH AT THE COUNTRY HOME OF MR. C. N. CROOK Tuesday, August 9th, 1921, was a memorable day to the children, rela tives and some of the friends of the late Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Crook. Peacefully, “Neath the shade of the trees” in old Center Grove church yard side by side, sleep Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Crook, pioneer settlers of Elbert and Jackson counties, there awaiting the resurrection morning. To this no ble couple were born 12 children. 10 of whom survive them. At the pretty country home of the lest son. Mr. C. N. Crook, on Tues day, August 9th, there gathered eight of the ten living children, together with > grand children, great grandchildren, relatives and friends, to spend one more day together, to renew old friend ships, to “tell the old tales over,” and drink deeply of memory’s mellow wine. The day was ideal. Nature seemed to smile in sympathy with this happy crowd. • tl’s easy to describe the material ' mrt of this gathering, but what words can do justice to the indescribable ties that bind heart to heart and make the lips tremble, and the eyes grow dim with tears as friends and relatives, brothers and sisters, meet again after months and even years of separation? At noon, a long table, which had been placed beneath the shade of the beautiful oaks on the lawn, was liter ally laden with good things to eat. flanked by huge tubs of iced lemonade and ice tea. After the blessing had been asked by Rev. Mcßrayer of Jef ferson the guests refreshed themselves by partaking of these good things. After dinner, the people gathered on the spacious porch and were en tertained by some lovely and appropri Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, August 25. 1921. McKever to be a teacher of no mean degree. The hour for feasting arrived; every one partook himself or herself to the vicinity of the table place in the shade of beautiful oaks that grow such heavy foil age. The table was loaded with pies, cakes, meats and stews such as the good people of Tyro know so well how to prepare. It seems to me these good women know more of the art of building a cake and baking a pie and preparing tasty edibles than any of my knowledge before. When It comes to meats and stews it takes Tyro citizens to prepare them to suit my fancy. I knew this section when ten pupils completed the roll. 1 saw it build up aud then fall off. In its successful days many years ago I saw Big Ben Collier walk four miles to this school. Bud O’Shields walked from near Winder, Henry nnd Ben Seyman walked from Justice Old Mill to get learning here. One more thought. It may be you are domiciled in some city home and en vironed with the wealthiest of the town. You may be continually dressed iu the cosliest garments with fingers and body ajdorned with the most costly dia-* monds. You may attend preaching in a church building which cost its mil lions, and sit in a cushioned pew. Lis ten to a sermon of choice words which tickles your fancy. Then barely lower ing your head listen to wonderful pray er (in words.) Listen to music vocal and instrumental as charming as an operatic performance. Does it mean anything? The honest hearts, the sim plicity in ever adt of those hoys in this rural section. The good handshake of the honest yeomanry of Tyro mean something. There Is more religion in one hour's stay here than a year, yea a life-time in other environment. C. M. THOMPSON. ate songs. Several short talks were made, after which Rev. C. A. Strickland addressed the crowd in an impressive manner. He then asked that the people bow their heads, and in one of the sweet est prayers to which we ever listened he asked the good All Father that one bright day the Crook family might form an unbroken circle in the Eter nal Home, where there’ll be no more partings, but an everlasting reunion. It was a wonderful day to the fam ily, and we trust to the friends, also who were present. Of the family who were present, were the following: C. M. Crook and wife. Center Grove, children and grandchildren; C. C. Crook, wife, chil dren and grandchildren of Danielsville; W. L. Crook, wife and children of Cnmeron, Texas; J. A. Crook, wife, daughter and grand children of Pen dergrass ; R. D. Crook and children, of Winder; A. C. Crook and family, of Bishop; W. H. Elrod, wife, children and grand children, of Winder; li. A. Watkins, wife, son and wife. ONE WHO WAS THERE. WINDER CITIZENS ON FISHING TRIP Rev. S. R. Grubb, Messrs. Claud Mayne, W. O. Perry. W. A. Bradley. R. A. W. Smith, John Drake. Dr. E. F.

It was gratifying to see at court last week, Judge Richard B. Russell, who for eight years was Solicitor General of the Western Circuit, and for seven years was this circuit’s presiding judge. There never stood before a jury of the Western Circuit a more fearless prose cuting attorney, aud there never charg ed the law a fairer judge. For nine years Judge Russell was a member of the Court of Appeals, and more than half of that time its chief judge. Here he made a great record. With five years of his term unexpired, he volun tarily resigned, and resumed the prac tice of law. He now practices all over Georgia, and few lawyers have a lar ger or more satisfactory clientile than Judge Russell. Right in this connection, we will state that the bill to divide the Wes tern Circuit did not pass. When it cbed the house, there was some dif ference of opinion among the represen tatives in the house from the counties composing the Western Circuit, so it as agreed not to pass the bill this year. The original bill put Clarke. Oconee nd Walton, in one circuit; and Banks, lack son, Barrow and Gwinnett in an other. But the bill, as passed the sen ate, put Banks, Clarke and Oconee in me circuit, and Jackson, Barrow, Gwin nett and Walton in another. This di vision was thoroughly unsatisfactory to some of the representatives, solely because Banks does not adjoin ( larke, or Oconee counties. Why should Jack <on, which is adjacent to Clarke, not be put in a circuit with the county? There would be little criticism of the bill if it put Clarke, Oconee, Jackson and Banks in the same circuit; or Hanks, Jackson, Barrow, Gwinnett, ilton in one circuit; and Clarke and Oconee in another, or have circuits as provided in the original bill. It has been suggested that there be no (livis m of the circuit, but that an addi tional judge be provided, as was the case in the Macon circuit. If the Wes tern circuit has more work than one judge can do it seems to us that an ad lonal judge would be equally as good for the circuit as a division of the old circuit that has existed so long. r. and Mr*. B. R. Barber and children, Miss Thelma and Sara, and Master Harold Barber, accompanied by Miss Margaret Appleby, spent Sun day with relatives here. Mrs. Comer Weaver of Atlanta is being accorded a cordial welcome on the occasion of her ivsit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Niblack. Mrs. Weaver was formerly Miss Alma Ni black, and was one of Jefferson’s most admired ladies. ( Four-Countyßooster) Messrs. It. L. Rogers and C. C.

Wood, Jr., Mr. W. B. Brown, of the Oliver Chilled Plow Works and assist ed by Mr. A. I). Robertson, our farm demonstrator. This picture showed how soil and seed bed should be prepared and why. You actually saw corn sprout, take root and grow from the time the seed was planted under the soil. Both prop er and poor seed beds were shown. The corn planted in proper seed bed germinated and growth started eight days ahead of that planted in poorly prepared seed bed. It was clearly shown by the use of Fordson .Tractor and improved Fordson Power farming implements land can be prepared in the right way at the right time, with less labor, increasing yields and profit. Saturday afternoon the Fordson trac | >r and Fordson farm power implements were demonstrated on the King Motor Co’s, demonstrating field, mowing, plow ing, harrowing, culti-packing, sawing and feed grinding. Dr. C. B. Mott has secured two ex pert Fordson tractor men—Mr. Hale and Mr. Pierce —who are ready and anxious to not only starve Billy 801 l Weevil but to bury him deep. One of these men will call on each Fordson owner every week to help with farm ing problems and to see that your Fordson tractor is in perfect condition and is giving yon satisfactory service. Dr. Mott says he is proud of his far mer friends. That he wants to help them make money—so they can spend some of it with him. Mrs. Green Brnselton on Sunday after noon. Mr. J. H.

Methodist Women Or ganize for Local Work At the conclusion of the Wednesday evening service, the ladies of the Meth odist congregation organized anew so ciety for the work of the church. The city was divided into four sections, with one circle for each section, each circle to have its own chairman and treasurer. The object is not to raise funds alone, but to more effectively cover the territory, visiting the sick, and looking after newcomers and stran gers. At the present time there is much friendly rivalry among the cir cles in the raising of funds for the new house of worship. There will be a so cial gathering of the entire body on each fifth Monday, when each circle will give an account of its work. An interesting feature is the plan by which the pastor of the church can communi cate with every family of the congrega tion in an hour’s time, when impor tant announcements are to be made. The pastor communicates with the head chairman, who at once telephones the chairman of each circle, who in turn, will get in touch with her captains for each sub-division of her territory. Officers and by-laws are to be decided on later. No. 19.
