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.

These true hearts have nev er wearied: through the years that have come and gone they have lift ed shafts and kept the hillocks green.

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 L. Grice, Z. V. Peacock, T. B. Ra gan, and Howard Coates, all of Hawkinsville, were among the ma ny who came to town in automo biles, arriving just after the train stopped. F. M. Dykes, J. S.

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. NUMBER 37. PHONE 262. Corn Club Organized. Our Corn Club is now an assured success.
