with large bowls of red and white
.roses adding fragrance and beauty
to the scene. Hon. C. S. Maddox was
master of ceremonies. One of the
most impressive features of Memo
rial Day was the marching of the
veterans, who have known what war
is, with their somewhat slow step,
and the buoyant and elastic step of
the young men, the Jackson Rifles,
who have heard what war is. To a
large and attentive audience Col,
Julian Willingham, in a beautiful
and fitting speech, introduced the
orator of the day, Judge R. T. Dan
iel, of Griffin. His splendid address,
touching upon what caused the di
vision of the Union, the bravery of
die Southern soldier, the match less
generals of the Southern army, the
devotion of the Southern women,
was most attentively listened to and
enthusiastically applauded. His facts
and figures about the famous battles
was flue history, and should be kept
in the memory of every one.
Following the address the Presi
dent, Mrs. J. B. Settle, in a timely
speech, presented a medal which was
offered by the Daughters for the best
paper on “The Battle of Gettysburg,”
to Joel Mallet. Crosses of honor were
then given to veterans who had made

Col. Threat Moor , by request of
the Daughters, made an eloquent ap
peal to the people for contributions
to the Confederate monument which
is to be erected to the memory of the
Confederate dead.
The excellent programme was in
terspersed with beautiful songs by
home talent.
After the exercises an elegant din
ner was served at the Armory. At 2
o’clock the veterans were given an
aulomobile ride over the city.
Many visitors from other cities
were present. Ten automobiles with
visitors were over from Griffin.
The day was fittingly observed, and
may our brave veterans live many
years to receive the honor paid them
on this annual occasion.

Capricious April!
It seems that every season of the
year contributed a slice or weather
to make Monday a day the like of
which was never witnessed by any
one in this vicinity. The cold was
penetrating, making fires very neces
sary; and then, April, to keep up her
reputation for fickleness, had alter
nately wind, rain, snow, sleet and
sunshine, and sometimes all came at
once. It was a queer sight to look
out through snow and sleet and see
the trees in full leaf and bushes cov
ered with spring’s loveliest roses.
The unusual weather wrought no se
rious damage in this section —only to
cotton. All cotton which had come
up will have to be replanted.

Services at Presbyterian

Services are being held this week
at the Presbyterian church, Rev.
Lynn Walker, of Atlanta, assisting
the pastor, Rev. James Bradley. Mr.
Walker came Wednesday, and in the
evening preached from the text found
in Galatians 6:10: “As we have
opportunity, let us do good unto
all men, especially unto those who
are of the household of faith.” The
three points especially stressed in
the sermon, ami on which lie gave
flue lessons, were:. 1. “Doing good is
the highest ideal of life”; 2. ‘ The
sphere of doing good is life”; 3. “Do
good as you have opportunity.” He
most beautifully spoke of Christ do
ing good all the time. To every walk
of life and all the time he found op
portunities for doing good. His
words that “the world Is measuring
Christ by the church, the church
is the world’s Bible.” were most im
pressive truths which lie spoke to the
attentive congregation. Mr. Walker
is a pleasant speaker, and you will
be delighted and profited if you at
tend the meetings. Services are held
at 3:30 in the afternoon and 7:30 in
the evening. They will continue
