TWO GOLDEN WEDDINGS

and the needy knows well of their

long miracle, thy self-besting won

The marriage of James S. and
Jane E. (Head) Gregory occurred
December 13, 1877, at the Head
homestead near Cork, in Butts coun
ty, by R. V. Smith, notary public,
who in his BGth years is still living,
an honored veteran of the Con
federate army, serving as second
lieutenant of Cupt. Watkins 6th
Ceorgie regiment.
Mr. Gregory was born in Butts
county September 19, 1849. At the

Acting upon a suggestion re

When was that sale made?
ADVERTISING in this news
paper constantly is broadcast
ing ideas and suggestions, which
in longer or shorter time, crys
talize into sales of merchan

have the money or the inclina

But the thought or suggestion
remains in the background of
their minds and then, some day,
it moves to the foreground and
a sale is . made.
Executives in big establish

count surely on the return from
an accumulation of these belat

through continued advertising.

should from this source? You
rarely know exactly when a
sale is made.

age of 15 years he joined Cos. H,
(th Georgia regiment, and served
one year in the civil war, substi
tuting for his father. He was one
of the youngest, if not the young
est, private in that great conflict.
He has a keen memory and has a
fund of incidents about early his
tory of Indian Springs. Unfortunate
ly the celebration of his golden wed
ding anniversary was marred by an
accident a few days previous which
has confined him to his bed. As he
is one of the fixtures of the spring
basin, where he always has a circle
of listeners to his tales of the w*.r
and the history of Mclntosh and the
springs, he is greatly missed by the
hundreds who are drayvn to the
spring daily for their supply of the
water.
His wife was born near Cork in
1858, and is in the best of health
and always busy—a saintly, old
fashioned mother who loves her gar
den, her chickens, and naturally,
her family—for as (Mr. Gregory
said: “Fifty years married and never
any domestic trouble. I’ll say she
is a good and true wife.” They have
lived in this county except five
years in Texas and some time in
Randolph county, Georgia, but for
the last nineteen years at Indian
Springs.
The family consists of Leonard
J., James M., Thalma and Archie B.
Africa. Leonard is an electrician,
piumbcr and general builder, while
James carries the mail between Flo
villa and Indian Springs.
The Gregorys’ were recipients of
many presents on the anniversary
day and all afternoon friends came
to congratulate them.
The Civic Club gave two presents
to every child at Indian Springs Fri
day evening, as well as bag’s of pop
corn, candy and fruit. A tree was
set in the Baptist church yard, gaily
festooned, lighted with many can
dles and red fire gave an added
thrill to the youngest as Santa Claus
came from out the darkness into
the circle of light and began to pass
about the gifts. Christmas carols
and an address by the pastor, Rev.
Walter S. Adams, completed the af
fair, which was attended by hundred
or so people. The evening was ideal
for the outdoor exercises.

dairyman, refrigeration, milking raa
' chines and sterilizers. To the com
i munity interest, electric power
j means street illumination, cold stoL
age, canning factories, cotton gins,
grist mills and many other uses to
which power may be applicable.
In carrying into communities a
rural service program there will be
found a degree of familiarity with
the use of electric service, but there
must of necessity be instituted an
educational campaign to develop a
more general application of the
uses of this service. The rural popu
lation is familar through contact
with city and town conveniences and
appreciate fully the benefits of its
use particularly from the standpoint
of the home. There is need, how
ever, of much cooperative work
with the farmer, poultryman and
dairyman in the development of the
use of this service from a practica
ble, economical \nd profitable use
of electric power that is applicable
to his needs. An educational pro
gram through publicity, newspaper
articles and stories for the promo
tion of this work to create interest
and bring to attention the various
application of this service.
In the creation of this new devel
opment among the agriculture in
terests, experiences have shown con
clusively that rui’al customers are
responsive to educational work, that
the application of electric service
is constantly increasing, and that
new developments are continually
under way that require the appli
cation of electric power.
There is appearing a fuller under
standing of mutual profitable co
operation, a mutual understanding
between the industrial and agricul
tural interests. In bringing together
htese mutual interests there is be
ing created a higher type of citi
zenship among the rural population,
affecting to a marked degree the
general economic scheme reacting
largely to the benefit of this indus
trial cooperation.

CHRISTMAS TREES PROVIDED
FOR 3GTH CONSECUTIVE TIME
A fact of unique interest in coa
liection with the Christmas tree at
the Presbyterian church the past
Friday night, is that Mr. Joseph P.
Maddox has provided the Christmas
tree at that church for the thirtieth
consecutive year. This is probably
a record that will stand for a long
time. During these thirty years Mr.
Maddox has obtained trees of
various kinds, including hoily, cedar
and pine, but in all that time it is
doubted if any tree was prettier
than the one furnished this season.
The Christmas tree for the little
folks was full of interest and a
short program of readings and songs
was carried out.
