W. C. T. U. MEETING
The May meeting of the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union was
held at the Methodist church Friday
of last week when an interesting
program was given by the Flower
Mission committee. Mrs. G. D. Head,
chairman, gave a fine devotional us
ing a few selected Bible verses. The
first, Gen. 2:8 “And the Lord God
planted a garden in Eden,” and
placed his first human creation in if
to “dress and keep it.” He made
“to grow every tree that is pleansant
to the sight and good for food.” She
stressed this wonderful gift to hu
manity of trees, plants and flowers,
emphasizing the perfection of God’s
creation in every flower we see.
Matt. 6:28 “Consider the Lillies of
of the field how they grow; they toil
not, neither do they spin, and yet
I say unto you, that Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one
of these.” This was followed by a
solo, “Thank God for a Garden”
sung by Mrs. R. P. Sasnett in her
own sweet way.
Mrs. B. K. Carmichael read “The
Good American.’ ’Mrs. Morris Moore
told in an interesting way the story
of “Dropping - Flowers” along lifes
way. Mrs. E. A. Godsey told of the
■ “Countless Ways” of doing Flower
Mission work.
Mrs. Head gave a fine report for
the past half year that had been giv
en by the members at regular meet
ings, of flowers, delicasies, visits,
drives, garments, and money to the
sick, in trouble, shut-ins, or needy
in any way. She closed her program
by reading an original poem writ
ten by the state director of Flower
Mission, giving the plan and de
tailed work of the department.
After a business session the meet
ing closed for the summer months
unless there is a special call for
July by the president.

CARMICHAEL DRUG COMPANY
Or Drug JMw,
rie Landers, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. C. Landers, of Griffin, and
Mr. Farris J. Stocks, of Barnesville,
son of Mr. and Mrs. James Andrew
Stocks, of Barnesville, was beauti
fully and impressively solemnized
last evening at 8 o’clock at the First
Methodist church in the presence of
a large gathering of friends and rel
atives from Griffin, Barnesville, At
lanta and other near-by towns.
Preceding the ceremony and dur
ing the reading of the nuptial vows
a program of beautiful nuptial mu
sic was rendered on the organ by
Mrs. Frank S. Pittman, organist of
the church. “Romance,” by Wright
was played just before the bridal
chorus from Lohengrin, which was
used as the processional. The wed
ding march from Mendelssohn’?
“Midsummer Night’s Dream” was
played as a recessional and McDow
ell’s “To a Wild Rose,” was softly
played during the ceremony.
The bridegroom chose as his best
man, Louis Crowder, of Barnesville.
The bride had two attendants,
her little sister, Willene Landers, who
was the flower girl, and her maid
of honor, Miss Lucy Brown,
Barnesville.
Immediately after Rev. Fred L.
Glisson, pastor of the First Metho
dist church, performed the impres
sive ring ceremony, the young cou
ple left for Atlanta where Mrs. M.
S. Johnson entertained them with
an elaborate reception at the Wine
coff Hotel. They then left for a short
w r edding trip through the beautiful
mountains in north Georgia.
Mrs. Stocks has a host of friends
and admirers throughout this sec
tion, and her popularity is attribut
ed to her delightful personality, rare
beauty and charm. She is the elder
daughter of J. C. Landers and the
late Mrs. J. C. Landers, who was, be
fore her marriage, Miss Janie Lemon,
of Jackson. She has two brothers,
Jane and William Landers, and one
sister, little Miss Willene Landers.
Mr. Stocks is a graduate of Gor
don Institute, and he is now in bus
iness with his father who owns and
operates a leading grocery store in
Barnesville. He is a splendid young
man who is liked by all who know
him, and his many friends through
out the state will be interested to
read of his marriage.
■ Mr. and Mrs. Stocks will make
their future home in Barnesville,
where they will be welcomed as pop
ular members of the younger mar
ried contingent, there. The bride’s
many Griffin friends regret, how
ever, that her marriage takes her
elsewhere to live.—Friday’s Griffin

MRS. HANKINSON MAKES
APPEAL FOR SUPPORT OF
SCHOOLS IN GEORGIA
Will our schools open in the fall"
This question is in the mind of
every man and woman interested iri
the education of the children of
Georgia at this time.
For some time the school term has
been shrinking in Georgia. As an ev
idence of this the average school
term in 1931-32 was three weeks
shorter than in 1930-31. The 1932-
33 term term was shorter than the
previous year, thus depriving Geor
gia children of their full opportuni
ty of education.
Many of the schools closed in the
spring far earlier than they had
planned because of lack of fu.ids.
Many boards of education have sent
their teachers home with no definite
contracts for the fall, because mon
ey with which to pay is not in sight;
there is not enough to guarantee even
a small salary.
Do you as a patron of your school
and a citizen of your county, want
the schools to continue in this wretch
ed condition? Do you intend that
your children shall be deprived of
the training that is to fit them for
life? If not, what are you ns a citi
zen of the county doing towards co
operating with your school authori
ties that your schools may open or:
time with a full staff of teachers, as
sured that those schools will run for
full time?
This unprecedented condition has
arisen because we have not paid our
taxes. This in turn has been occa
sioned by the economic conditions, in
the world about us. To meet this
emergency some counties have given
their people the privilege of paying
school taxes, even if no other can be
paid, in order that the schools may
run. What is your attitude to this
procedure? Are you willing that the
material things of the county shall
wait while we do justice to our chil
dren?
Public opinion can keep our
schools open. You must help to chys
talize that opinion. Your board and
your county' superintendent need
your co-operation and support.
The schools have not been extrav
agant. Even before hard times came
the schools of Georgia cost infinitely
less than in other Southern states.
During the last two years the sala
ries of all teachei’s have been re
duced. Material improvements have
been foregone. Everything has been
done by those in authority to run
the school at the lowest cost; too
low for the best interests of our
children. We have now reached the
place where school costs cannot get
any lower and the school continue
to run.
Will you, as a public-spirited citi
zen of your county give to your
school authorities the full force of
your influence that our schools may
be the best for Georgia's children?
The Parent-Teacher Institutes, to
bo held at Statesboro,' July 3 and 4,
and in Athens, July 13 and 14, will
handle the problems that relate them
selves to the school conditions in
Georgia.
MRS. R. H. HANKINSON,
President Georgia Congress of Pa
rents and Teachers.

At the close of the business meet
ing the president, Mrs. Lane, read
an original poem dedicated to the
“Mimosa Garden Club.” She was giv
en a “big hand” for this lovely bit of
verse. The title is, “My Heart’s Gar
den” and is as follows:
MY HEART’S GARDEN
In the garden of my heart
Are many flowers fair;
They grow in beds of sweet repose
Without a thought or care.
The pansies represent kind thoughts,
Are nourished at my will;
Sweet reminiscent moods they bring.
And longings they fulfill.
The violets are my ardent urge
To strive each day anew,
For through the snow and ice they
push
And lift their heads of blue.
The tulips are bright bits of cheer
That chase away all woe;
The roses are sincerest love
That fill the heart with glow.
Fcrget-me-nots are faithful friends
In poverty or wealth;
Snowdrops that never fail to bloom
Are types of hope and health.
Sc. in this secret garden
My flowers die or bloom;
It all depends on whether I
Shall give them plenty room.
BAPTIST BRIEFS
t_
The “Briefs” inadvertently were
left out last week. Everyone present,
at the welcoming service for Rev.
Neil McGeachy, appreciated the fine
message he delivered. We trust his
stay in Jackson may be pleasant and
his church prosper under his minis
tration.
The regular services wil be held
at our church Sunday morning. Sun
day school at 9:30, and preaching
services at 11 o’colck, conducted by
the pastor.
The night servies are called off
and our Baptist people are urged to
attend the special meetings at the
Methodist church, and coo-perate
with our Methodist friends in these
services.
