Let’s all of the fellows in Bar row County get together and or ganize one of the stnmgest posts in the State.’ We should do this so that there may he some record in future years of Barrow Coun ty’s part in the War.

M. ” social given at the Christian Church' Wednesday night has passed into the history or church life as a decided suc cess. It proved to ho just what "as purposed and planned. Every department of the church was represented. It was one of the largest gatherings of its kind for years and everybody thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. It was truly a “Remember Every Member” Socia.l Old and young from the aged shut-ins to the cradle roll in their mother's arms were pre sent. The entire building from roof to basement was used. The people assembled in the main auditorium at first for a brief devotional ser vice; after which a brief program was rendered. The .Juniors sang and little Meredith Mayne and Mary Mayne delighted the audi ence with their recitations. MLss Charlotte McCants then enter tained old and young with her well chosen reading from Miss Minerva and William Green Hill. She kindly responded again to re peated requests down, stairs when refreshments were served. before leaving the auditorium the various organizations and de partments of the church were presented to the audience by the minister. After this, the soldier boys of the Loyal Guards Class went “Over The Top” climbing Mount Zion, marching and leading the audience up stairs through the rooms and down agaip into the basement, which like a valley of the Holy Land was full of cooling refreshments from “Jacob’s Well,” The Pool of Siloam,” and “The Spring of Nazareth,” from which Rachels and Marthas serv ed the journeying pilgrims; near the “Spring of Nazareth” the travelers found supplies of “Man na,” or “our daily bread” in the form of sandwiches, which the older as well as younger folks enjoyed. The church was beautifully de corated with potted plants and cut flowers; and the basement dining room was like a dream of Autumn with October leaves and vines. Professor Cooper with his school orchestra furnished de lightful music. Mr. Ike Jackson sang a tenor solo and the church quartette sang several selections. Red lettered mottoes, such as, “Smile,” “Look Pleasant,” “Bury Your Grouch,” were seen here and there: among which was “ If every member were just like me what kind of a church would my church be?” It was indeed good to be there; all in all, it was perhaps the most unique church social ever given here and everybody felt good. The several committees deserve speci al congratulations. * Let us have a great day at Sun day School and Church next Sun day. ANOTHER MILLION DOLLAR BANK FOR WINDER.
