SERIES OF PAGEANTS WILL
EE BROUGHT TO CLOSE
THURSDAY EVENING
With the pageant to be put on
Thursday evening, April 6, at the
Cork school the series of pageants
which have been staged by the dii"
ferent schools in the county will be
brought to a close.
From the reading of papers, both
daily and Sunday, one gathers that
Butts County is the first in the state
to successfully put over a set of
plays or pageants to depict the vari
ous stages ip the history of the
county and section.
The plan was worked out by the
Butts County Bicentennial committee
and was lauded as a model by the
state director of the Ga. Bicenten
nial, Mr. A. R. Rogers.
By request of Mi-. Rogers copies
of all papers having accounts of pro
grams at all schools will be sent
to the State Department of Archives
and History to be kept so future
generations will know what the citi
zens of this county did to memo
rialize historical events during the
two hundredth anniversay of the
Carmichael’s Wonder

and of delicious flavor.”

“The BEST pole bean I have ever planted.”
“The heaviest bearing pole bean I have ever
planted.”
“Beats Kentucky Wonder.”

MISS MARTHA NEWMAN AND
MR. SAM F. LAMBERT TO
WED AT EARLY DATE
Among a number of announce
ments of approaching marriages
none have been of more genuine in
terest than that of Miss Martha New
man and Mr. Sam F. Lambert, made
public Sunday.
Miss Newman is the attractive

ber of years. She has a most charm
ing personality and lovely manners
which have made her deservedly pop

sible position with the Retail Credit

MRS. HINES PAYS TRIBUTE
TO THE MISSES McMICHAEL
AND THEIR FATHER
In a write-up by Nellie Womack
Hines, of Milledgeville, in Monday
evening’s Atlanta Journal concern
ing the members of the freshman
class of the Georgia State College
for Women at Milledgeville, she has
the following to say of Mr. J. E.
McMichael, one of Butts County’s
most sterling citizens, and of the
%
young ladies of the family who have
attended! and are now attending that
college:
“Can you imagine ten sisters out
of the same family, all graduating
at the same school?” was another
question that was popped at me.
“Weil, you listen to this —come on
Virginia, you tell her.” So I learn
ed from Virginia McMichael (who
is here this year, also her sister
Elizabeth, both freshmen) that her
sister, Bex-nice, finished here in
1920; Evelyn, in 1922; Lois, in 1923;
Marion, in 1925, and Ruth in 1927.
There comes a break, because War
| i‘en just refused to be a girl, and
they couldn’t send him here—but
this year along come Elizabeth and
✓
Virginia, and, they both say “We
have three more little sisters at homo
just waiting to get big enough to
come along, Sara Frances, Helen and
Gwendolyn, and that will make ten.”
Can you beat it? The McMichaels
hail from Jackson (Butts), and are
daughters of J. E. McMichael. Isn’t
your hat off to a man who can
“graduate” ten daughters?
