The program of the Camp Fire Girls emphasize the dignity or work, the necessity of keeping good Health and the spirit of comradesnip, ail of these as u condition of happi ness. its ideals are expressed in its watch word, “Wo —He —Lo,” which is deriv ed from the three words which embody the fundamental prinqfciies or its teach ing—Work —Health——Love. Its law opens seven roads leading down long vistas of endeavor and op portunity towards the goal of balanced, efficient young womautiood: Seek beau ty ; Give Service; Pursue Knowledge; Be Trustworthy; Hold on to Health; Be Happy. Under .its seven crafts, home, health, camp, hand, nature, love, business and citizenships nearly 1,000 specific sug gestions are tabulated, each opening aoiue avenue of helpful endeavor for girls. The lwsis of the Camp Fire honor system is appreciation. Its honors are given for the simple and modest work of daily life actually accomplished and their wide selection stirs the imagina tion and develops originality. Every honor achieved means an added bead of color according to the particular craft. Camp Fire aims to develop the home spirit and make it dominate the life of tlie entire community. It uses beau tiful ceremonies, and bases rank and honor upon personal attainment. It interprets the things of daily life in terms of poetry, symbolism, color and imagination.

THE HIRAM NIXON RAINEY WILL CASE * hie of the most interesting cases in tlie history of Harrow county was set tled last week when the contest he-.' tween the executors of the wills of Hi- : ram N. Rainey, Sr., and H. N. Rain- * ey, Jr., was settled by compromise. ' The following history of the case, will prove interesting reading to our readers. i A number of years ago Rev. Ilham N. j Rainey, a prominent Baptist clergyman, died leaving a will conveying his prop erty to his son, H. N. Rainey, Jr. and to his children. In this will Judge (}. <l. Robinson, of Lawrenceville and Col. \V. H. Quurterman, of Winder, were named as executors. In the meantime after the elder Rainey's death his sou administered the estate. He died a few months ngo in Atlanta, and left a will which was set up, leaving all his property to liis wife and two children, Nick and Mattie Louise. Mayor George X. Bagwell, of this city, and Mrs. H. N. Rainey are numed as executors in this will. A short while ago this case was decided in the ordinary’s court of this county, and the original will of the senior Rainey was set up. The case was brought to the supe rior court. Some of the leading law yers in the state were engaged by the two sets of executors, among them be ing Col. Reuben Arnold, of Atlanta; Ross & Koss, of this city; Col. Lewis Russo 11, Judge I. L. Oakes, of laiw reneeville; Col. Thomas J. Hhaekelford, of Athens. Numbers of witnesses had been sub poenaed on both sides and a great deal, of feeling was manifested. Tuesday af ternoon the counsel for both sid*s met, and a compromise agreed upon by which Mr. Bagwell and Mrs. Rainey were to act as executors and wind up the estate. Under the agreement Mrs. Rainey is to get one-sixth of the elder Rainey's estate and her two step children five sixths. Mrs. Rainey and Executor George Bagwell are to pay all* court costs. • The estate of Rev. Hiram Rainey did not turn out anything like what he was reputed to be worth, the assets to taling $.‘{40,000.00. Judge Robinson and Attorney Quar terrnan, the executors of the elder Rainey’s estate, were paid a substantial sum. FEDERATION OF CHURCH CLUBS. A meeting of representatives from the men's clubs of the Methodist, Bap tist, Christian and Presbyterian church es of the city was held Tuesday even ing looking to the formation of a Fed eration of church clubs. There wero present Rev. L. W. Collins, Rev. VV. H„ Faust, Messrs. Paul Brooksher, J. W. Carrington, J. T. Walden, C. W. Brum by and J. <’. Stiekney. The latter was asked to present the plans of church club federations with which lie had been connected. It was decided to call a meeting of three representatives from each men's club to meet at 2:45 o’clock Friday af ternoon to complete the organization. Those appointed were J. Roy Jackson, Jonn M. Williams, S. F. Maughon, E. A. Starr, Paul Brooksher, J. W. Car rngton, Claud Mayne, J. T. Walden and J. B. Brookshire. The motto of the organization will he "In the Master’s Service. Winder Post American Legion To Present A Minstrel Friday Night The people of Winder and vicinity will lmve the opportunity on Friday night of this week of witnessing one of tin* best minstrel revues ever seen here. It will lie the “Jazzland Minstrel Revue,” and will be put on under the auspices of the local post of the Amer ican Legion. “Before a large and attentive audi ence, the “Jazzland Minstrel Revue” was presented by the local post of the American Legion at Brenau Audito rium last Friday night, making the biggest hit of any minstrel introducing local talent ever presented there. It was' excellent from beginning to end, and the audience was kept in a continual uproar of applause. The show opencil with the members of the colony sitting around the stage in ex cellent style and a number of popular songs were sung by end men and cho rus. Y The Quartette continued the splen did performance by some fine songs. The interlocutor presented some excel lent talks by a Sunny Son of Italy and also sang ’’<) Sole Mio” in Italian, which was excellent. The H.vpordermie four made a big hit. Their string instruments, together with their quartette, and the yeodling of Whelebel, were given a big hand. Mr. Ed Zoeller was another big bit of the evening when he performed the role of n Jew and ‘pulled some good ones' together with Mr. Hooy.” A great audience from Winder and vicinity will hear these minstrels to morrow (Friday) night. Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Wooten left last Saturday to make their home in Cin cinnati, Ohio. Their many friends in this city regret to see them leave. We hope they will' be happy and prosper ous in their new home. No. 51
