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 Camp. Willie May Eavenson, Montine Robinson and Edna Blanks. Reporter.

TIRES $17.00 THOMAS & OLIVER tf 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.
