MEN’S CLUB BURY
MR. HARD TIMES
The Men's Club of the Methodist
church- met on Tuesday night at the
church with an unusually large attend
ance. The occasion was a social ev
ening, and the feature of the evening
was the “Funeral of Old Man Hard
Times,” who was certainly not present
even in spirit at. this meeting. The
Bofird of Stewards, who held a prelim
inary meeting at 7:110 were the guests
of and music was furnished by
Mrs. A. D. McCurry, Mrs. C. G. Land
and Mr. Will Cooper.
After a short business session, the
president, Mr. Paul Brooksher, turned
the meeting over to Rev. L W. Collins,
who conducted the service. It seems
that Old Man Hard Times after an ab
sence of several years, had returned
and joined the Methodist church. At
first he promised to be a useful member,
having helped to increase the congre
gation and turned their thoughts to
■Saore serious things. But lately he had
interfered with the work of the church,
hy discouraging the other members and
robbing them of their Sunday clothes.
The press had recently carried reports
that the Old Man had passed away, and
the question was whether his name
shpukl he dropped from the church
roll.
There was a number of members of
tbe chib who discussed the question,
and there was a flow of real wit and
philosophy. Some of the speakers de
fended the old man very earnestly, af
firming that he had been tbe making of
the manhood of this country. Others
said that at least he was no respector
of persons. Also the physicians pres
ent refused to issue a burial certificate
unless his death could be proved. Tim
conclusion reached was that while his
sojourn had been good for the commu
nity, on the whole, yet no one could
truly grieve at his departure. The club
unanimously resolved to hasten the
same by cultivating the Sptrit of opti
mism, industry and good will, and
working together for the uplift of the
entire community. They were quite
sure that Mr. Hard Times would not
stay in a town where this was done.
The speakers of the meeting were
Mr. J. 11. Maynard. Mr. Will Cooepr,
Dr S. T. Ross. Mr. L. S. Radford. Col.
joe Quillian. Col. Julian Ross. Col. R.
B Russell. Jr.. Mr. John Carrington.
Jr., and Prof. W. M. Holsenbeck.
A rather unique feature of the meet
ing was the fact that the train which
carried the refreshments was four
hours late, and (lid not reach Winder
till ijfter 1) o’clock. This seemed like
> rather slow progress, but all tins was
changed when they reached North
Georgia's hustling city. In five minutes
after the arrival of the train the o\s
ters were in the pot anil in a very few
minutes a large quantity of these had
joined the Methodist Men’s club.
The hostesses for the evening were
the lady teachers and the men teachers
wives of the Sunday school, including
Mesdames W. L. Blasingame, G. W. De-
LaPerriere, A. D. McCurry, A. T Har
rison, J. W. Carrington, Jr., L. S. Rad
ford, and Misses Dorothy Rowland, Ida
Kilgore, Margaret Walker, Ora Lee

Hearing The World’s
First Living Senator.
W. H. FAUST
Suday was an epochal day in the
lives of Atlantans. At the historic old
First Baptist church at four o'clock
2000 people thronged together to set*
and hear what no other such throng
ever heard and saw before and what
the same crowd will not see again
—a real honest uptodate woman sena
tor —Mrs. Felton —"Georgia's Grand
Old Woman.”
It was a representative crowd that
met the Senator, in it were women and
men from every sphere of life. Doctors,
lawyers, ministers, bankers, merchants,
judges, grown ups and children.
Supt. Sutton, of the Atlanta schools
read that wonderfully Appropriate
passage of scripture from the latter
part of the last chapter of Proverbs
and led the congregation in prayer.
Governor Hardwick graciously and
touchingly presented the Senator to the
assembled crowd.
Senator Felton is a grand, motherly
woman and despite her 87 years lias a
keen intellect and a rare voice of carry
ng power. She could be heard over the
entire house with comparative ease.
She stroke under the auspices of the
Business Woman’s club of tlie First
Baptist church and said she had known
Atlanta since it had only one house,
and had watched its tdhenomenul
growth with ever increasing interest
and admiration.
The crowd was held spellbound from
start to finish of this unique service
in the annuls of world history. This
appointment of} Governor Hardwick
will cause his name to go down in his
tory with far greater lustre and glory
than any political stunt he ever suc
ceeded in putting over during his term
as Governor.
President Harding could call a spe
cial session of congress at whatever
cost and have her sworn ip and it
would give him a more lasting position
in the Hall of world fame tan any of
his great achievements have even yet
guaranteed him.
Woman has ever been man’s equal.
The Ixird is wise. He saw that it
was not good for man to be alone, so
he made him woman to lie his helpmate
and companion. She could not fulfill
God’s original purpose and K‘ less in
uny wiisc thun inun.
it is good and right that the great
est state in the bright galaxy of states
Should have the first woman senator.
Three cheers for our junior senator
and for woman’s coming into her own.
I am glad that I have lived to see
sueh a condition and feel that we are
still headed on towards better things
for tomorrow.
