A Beautiful Occasion,
In Honor of Our Nohle Dead
Cochran’s U. “D. C. Enter
tain Most Delightfully
St. Valentine Day
The Valentine tea given under the
auspices of the U. D. C. was beau
tiful in every detail. Everything
conceivable and suggestive of the
season’s meaning was in evidence.
Red hearts hung in festoons across
the room and also served as borders
for the snowy white table covers.
The red and green color scheme was
beautifully displayed with hand
some ferns, palms, and red lillies.
The perfume of narcissus and hya
cinths from the center of each table
was waited on every passing bre<izc.
Delicious ice cream frozen into
hearts, heart-shaped sandwiches,
chicken salad laid on heart-shaped
leaves, and beautiful hand painted
menu cards all helped to carry out
the Valentine idea.
A chafing dish was presented to
the one who was lucky in guessing
the amount of candy placed in a
heart shaped box. It was awarded
to Mrs. Eloise Jackson, who held
the lucky number, 495.
The proceeds of this entertain
ment go to help make the last pay
ment on the monument.
The chapter here is to be con
gratulated for having erected this
beautiful monument in so short a
time. Of the twenty-five hundred
U. D. C. Return Thanks and
Announce Washington Tea.
The U. D. C. extend their sincerest thanks to their friends
and patrons for the cordial support they gave the Valentine
tea, and, encouraged by this effort, they desire to announce
that they will give a Washington tea in the *ame building,
next to barber shop at the rear of J. J. Taylor’s store No. 1,
on Washington’s birthday, next Wednesday February 22nd.
Refreshments will be served from 3 to 10 o’clock p. m.
The Valentine tea was liberally patronized. If the public
will come forward and give these entertainments unstinted
patronage, our beautiful little monument will soon be
paid for.

PULASKI'S STURDY YEOMANRY GREET
FARM TRAIN AT COCHRAN.
School Children of the County Are Given
Holiday to See Exhibits—Mammoth
Home Cured Ham Presented-
Prof. Browning Extends
Welcome to City.
Farmers in automobiles met the
train here Friday morning—pros
perous farmers, representing the
substance that is behind Cochran
and that invests in the capital of its
local banks and other enterprises
and makes it possible for Cochran
to claim the envious position of the
second town in Georgia in point of
commercial rating. These farmers
came from all around —from out in
the country, miles out, where they
hud left their work of the day well
started when they climbed into their
cars and set out for town a few
minutes before the train was due.
One of these brought in a mam
moth cured South Georgia ham and
presented it to the party aboard the
train with the compliments of him
self and his brother. J. P. Pea
cock and W. 11. Peacock, both of
whom are veterans of the 1910 Jour
nal-Herald tour, and who together
farm many acres of Pulaski county
land, tendered their toothsome trib
ute and won the everlasting regard
of their friends aboard the train.
They and a third brother, J. B.
Peacock and W. H. Peacock, to
gether farm more than 100 plows in
the county. Pulaski has other men
like them, men who cultivate many
acres and pay big taxes. It is a
county of farming lands. And
thereby its prosperity is explainable.
The ham which the agricultural
workers will enjoy for many days
tips the scales at 25 T-2 pounds,
and was raised on the Peacock farm,
and smoked and cured theie, and
then wrapped in canvas and white
washed. So treated, it would stay
sweet indefinitely. No packer has
yet applied the art of home-curing
hams that was known so well in old
Georgia and that today is still prac
ticed in the more prosperous farm
ing communities.
HOLIDAY IS GIVEN
The schools of Cochran were giv
en a holiday for the whole of Fri
day. All of the 200 pupils availed
themselves of this opportunity to
see and study the interesting things
that the train brought to them.
Particularly were the boys interest
ed. They went through the coach
es with note books in hand and
took memoranda of everything they
saw and of every idea that was sug
gested to them.
The organization of a boys’ corn
club was started. prof. L. H.
Browning, principal of the High
school, secured a blank from Prof.
J. Phil Campbell, U. S. I). A., who
is in charge of the corn club exhib
it, and stationed there with Prof.
Campbell at the exhibit, he took
down the names of such boys as de
clared their interest in corn grow
ing and their wish to enter The con
test. Other boys will enlist later,
and before many days the commu
nity around Cochran will be in line
for the big awards. Prof. Brown
ing will be in local charge.
J. H. Mullis, Jr., the mayor,
and the teachers of the High school,
Misses Arrie Lawton, Alva Bennett,
Ina Wright, Minnie Smith, Anne
Smith and Bella Hilsman, were
among the first to meet the train on
its early morning arrival. Warren

Hawkinsville, were among the ma

biles, arriving just after the train
stopped. F. M. Dykes, J. S.

been ordinary of the county for the
past 25 years, all from Hawkins
ville —were only a few of those who
were recognized among the crowds
at Cochran.
HOPE IS IN COUNTRY
Professor Browning, High school
principal, in an eloquent speech,
welcomed the train to Cochran. He
recalled William J. Bryan’s saying
that if you tear down the cities, the
country will continue to prosper;
but that if you destroy country life,
grass will grow in the streets of the
cities. He said everything depends
on the farmer, wherefore any agen
cy seeking to improve the farmer’s
part in life cannot be too greatly ap
preciated. He said we are ap
proaching the day of an universal
education when an agricultural
training is brought to the very
doors of those who are interested in
learning it. Professor Hite spoke,
following Professor Browning, tell
ing his audience what they would
see aboard. President Cabaniss. of
the Farmers’ union, followed Mr.
Hite, and Commissioner Hudson
and Entomologist Worsham con
cluded the speaking program at
that point, though Mr. Hite and
Dr. Bahnsen, state veterinarian,
lectured later to the crowd of inter
ested ones at the stock car.
The acoustics of the speaking pro
gram at Cochran were little short of
perfect, and could not have been
bettered indoors. With the exhibit
coach behind them, a warehouse
wall forming a corner at one end,
the speakers delivered their words
without effort, and people standing
hundreds of feet away could under
stand perfectly what they said.
The farmers around Cochran held
a meeting at that place several days
ago and formed a local organiza
tion through which they hope to
accomplish much good by co-opera
tion. Se r * farmers, some of
them the, 1 ,in the county, intend
to take iit «,en-days’ course at the
State Agricultural college next term.
Several of them have already visited
the college, some to study; and its
reputation is high among them.
