VOL. XVII. BIG CROWD AIHOSCHTON -A Picnic Held Under the A:ts>‘ces of the Prosperity Club V, .is a Success. Mr. C. M. Hudgins Elected President. s The crowd at Hoschton Saturday was variously estimated from 800 to 1000 people, but there was not the slightest difference in opinion that the day was pleasantly spent by those in att Midance. Several organizations, including the Farmers’ Fnionand the Knignts of Pythias, were represented on the jfrywara m. and this made the day one in the nature of a celebration. This was tin* second occasion that has been arranged for by the Pros perity Club of Hoschton, which is a society composed of the entire citizenship of that hustling little town, led by the progressive busi ness men and farmers of the surrounding territory. The exercises were held in the large grove in Hosch’s Park and dinner was served at ' the same •% place. ( , At 11 o’clock Hon. T. S. John son, former senator from this dis trict, made an interesting and help ful address to the Farmers’ Union. He stated that he had travelled ex tensively during the last few years, and nowhere in this great country <aJPh's is there a section where the possibilities of wealth and prog ress are so great for the framer as right here in Georgia, if only they take advantage of their resources and work intelligently in the development of them. His earnest appeal for industrial education and . c mcerted effort on the part of the "farmers to better their own surrond ings by “living at home” was a feature oHiis effort. The absolute dependence of the world upon the farmer was made plain, and in a strong way Mr. Johnson stressed the importance of theatapie crops of this section in the Cbmtnerce of the nation. His address was filled with pertinent facts and showed a clear under standing of the economic problems ofjloday as well as familiarity with the agricultural industries. Judge B. A. Juhan was intro duced as representing the Knight * of Pythias, and made an interesting an able address- He caught his audience from the first by translat ing “P. K. S.” the letters of the young ladies’ club of Hoschton as the “Pythian Knights’ Sisters,” and paid an eloquent tribute to the fair sex. Tl* Judge handled his subject ably; - speaking eloquently of what the order stood for. He said that all good men, who loved the home, believed in law and order, and worked for the betterment of man kind were Pythians but that thej did cot know it. He closed with a beautiful tribute. to Friendship and was roundly applauded. Rev. B. Muraoka, of Japan, who vas recently heard in this city, was also present and made an interest ing talk- | After the program had been car ried out the Club officers were elected. Mr. C. M- Hudgins was unanimously chosen president, Prof. Richbourg, vice president, and Miss Eula Blalock, secretary. Mr. Hudgins in a brief manner out lined the future policy of the or ganization, stating that the next picnic would be held on July 4, , MHO, and that other exej ' es would Be arranged for ’ Hay. The P. K. 8. Club, cot. " of the young ladies of Hoschtoh, the Hoschton orchestra and quartette also a(\ded much to the pleasure of the day, and the picnic altogether tras one, long to be remembered by bose-ftho attended. 1 i-tic ci ttJccklg WINDER, JACKSON COUNTY.
