TRAVELING CHRISTMAS TREE
ENJOYED AND APPRECIATED
The traveling Christmas tree spon
sored by the Children of the Confed
eracy on Christmas Eve was indeed
a novel treat to the Confederate Vet
erans, their widows and the shut-ins
of the town. The children distribut
ed gifts and Christmas dainties to the
veterans and widows. Not only to
those to whom the carols were sung
was the tree a pleasure but also to
the people on the streets and in the
homes.
On account of the disagreeably
cold weather some of the singers
were forced to drop out and the
others were so thoroughly chilled
until it was necessary to omit a num
ber of homes on the original list.
This was very much regretted but
could not be helped.
Mrs. R. W. Mays is the capable
director of the C. of C. and she was
ably assisted by Mrs. H. M. Moore,
Mrs. W. E. Watkins and Mrs. D. P.
Settle.
CANTATA AT METHODIST
CHURCH
The Christmas Cantata, “Star of
Bethlehem,” put on by the choir of
the Methodist church was heard by
a large audience and elicited the
greatest praise from all.
Mrs. J. B. Harrison was the effi
cient pianist and Mrs. D. P. Settle
and Mr. R. P. Sasnett soloists. The
entire production was under the di
rection of Mr. Joseph E. Edwards,
who deserves much credit for- his
skillful work.
The choir loft was banked with
pines and cedars and occasionally
through the greenery beamed forth
a lone bright star or a constellation
of them. Among the opening numbers
was that beautiful old hymn, “Si
lent Night," the strains of which
were heard again as the singing
came to a close and only the light
from the “star’s” shone forth.
Rev. T. H. Williams offered pray
er before the cantata was begun and
Rev. Thomas M. Callaway, of the
Baptist church pronounced the bene
diction.
MISS PULLIN WEDS
MR. FLETCHER
One of the most surprising events
during the holidays was the marriage
of Miss Julia Paula Pullin, of Grif
fin, and Mr. William Thomas Flet
cher, of Jenkinsburg, which was
quietly solemnized Saturday after
noon, Dec. 27, at two o’clock at the
home of Rev C. C. Heard at Locust
Grove. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Mr. Heard in the presence
of a group of close friends and rel
atives.
The lovely bride was gowned in
a modish costume of brown crepe,
trimmed in beautiful lace, with
brown hat and other accessories to
match.
Mrs. Fletcher is the second
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. W.
Pullin, of Griffin, and is a graduate
of Griffin High school.
Mr. Fletcher, the oldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Fletcher, of
Jenkinsburg, is a graduate of Jack
son High school, and one of the
most prosperous young farmers of
Butts county.
After a short wedding trip Mr. and
Mrs. Fletcher will be at the home
of the groom’s father for a while and

ZONE MEETING
The Jackson-McDonough Zone of
the Griffin District Methodist wom
en held its eighteenth regular meet
ing at Jackson, December 29, with
an attendance of 62.
The subject of the afternoon
“Planning for the New Year,” was
made very impressive by Rev. J. M.
Glenn in the devotional when he
used the Bth chapter of II Cor. as
his scripture, stressing the 6th verse
and stating that, “If God is to reap,
there must first be a consecration
of self.”
Mrs. W. Y. Daniel, district secre
tary, next gave a very helpful talk
on:
1. Standard of Excellency.
2. Miss Annie Mae White’s jour
ney to her station in Africa.
3. Improveemnts in plans for the
New Year.
4. Pledging as stressed in the
Bulletin.
5. The use of the Hand Book.
6. Officers’ Training Day in Jan
uary.
Mrs. J. M. Glenn told, in a most
interesting manner, of the far
reaching influence of two Chinese
girls, of her acquaintance, who be
came Christians, and won many souls
to Christ. Mrs. Daniel praised the
work reported by the various chur
ches of the Zone.
During the social interval the
Jackson ladies served delicious sand
wiches and hot coffee.
The next meeting will be held at
Juliette, the date to be announced
later by Mrs. Daniel.
D. A. R. MEETING
Mrs. T. B. Miller and Mrs. J. B.
Harrison were the gracious hostesses
to the members of the William Mc-
Intosh chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, Friday after
noon, December 26, at the home of
Mrs. Miller on Second street.
The regent, Mrs. C. W. Buchanan,
presided and the opening song was
America.
There was practically no business
to attend to at this meeting and it
was voted to defer the election of
alternates to both the state and na
tional conventions until the January
meeting.
The executive board, which con
sists of the chapter officers, will be
called together early in January by
Mrs. Buchanan for the purpose of
making out the chapter budget for
1931. Again the chapter will meet
all the requirements as laid down
by the state officers.

of the program the subject for which

Colony.” Three years ago, Miss Var
ner spent the summer at Boston and
visited Plymouth a number of times,
so her information was first-hand
and was very instructive. Miss Var
ner exhibited a plaster reproduction
of Plymouth arranged on a mirror.
This showed the famous rock, the
canopy over it, the paths the Pil
grims made and Burial "Hill, ’where
the dead were buried for the first
few years of the settlement. Pictures
of this famous spot were also shown.
The hostesses served a delicious
salad course and tea and Christmas
fruit cake and salted nuts. They
were assisted by their house guests,
Mrs. J. E. Butler and Miss Dorothy
Deaton, of Columbus, and Miss Leila
Sams, of Atlanta.
