COLONIAL TEA
■
In Honor of The Father of Our
Country Cochran s U. T). C.
Delightfully Entertain
Last Wednesday.
To say the U. L>. C. celebration |
of George Washington’s birthday]
did justice to the birth of the fa
ther of our country,” is to say
much, for this great man was per
haps the greatest of any whose
name has gone down on the pages
of American history.
All was suggsetive of days long
gone by. The pretty girls who act
ed as waitresses wore the Martha
Washington costume, and the old
spinning wheel on exhibit brought
to the mind the old colonial days.
The menu cards were of red pa
per hatchets. Small cherry .trees
full of cherries, were used for deco
rating, with their com] anions, the
Aatchets which were scattered over
the room promiscuously. A hang
ing basket of red cherries surround
c 1 by red paper hatchets formed a
bright center decoration. Large
flags were hung across one side of
the wall to demonstrate the patriot
ism of the occasion. Cherries were
also used in the desert served with
the delicious luncheon; consisting
of turkey, chicken salad, chochoeo
late ice cream, strawberries, cake.
A beautiful doll was given Dr. C.
T. Hall and Thomas Hall for guess
ing nearest to the correct number of
cherries in the glass jar.
The proceeds from this affair go
to the monument fund. The dau
ghters hope to finish paying for the
monument by the lastof April. So
let the whole town convert itself in
to a committee of workers and in
spirers, and aid in the laudable
cause, so that the last day may be
one of triumph and not dissapoint
ment.
The story of the hatchet has been
told and retold to the youth of our
country and the example of truth
fulness is admirable indeed; but
still more admirable is the story of
Potts, the Quaker, tells of going
through the woods, and seeing Gen.
Washington on his knees, praying.
The hardships that he was enduring
at Valley Forge, and the defeat just
before had almost made the brave
general despair. So he goes to a
Power mightier than himself for
strength, and who knows but what
this habit was the secret scource of
his greatness-
It is gratifying to know that
the father ]of our country” was a
man in God.
If Washington had failed, the
canse of liberty would have failed.
But thanks to his mother’s teaching
he looked within when all was dark
took courage and fought on until,
the clouds disapeared and he stood
forth in the bright sunlight, looking
over a triumphant, infant nation,
which was to become one of the
greatest on the globe.
For your odd skirts, call on D.
A. Brown. They are made to fit.

ONE HUNDRED CONTESTANTS
ENTER FOR PRIZES IN
A SPLENDID QUILTING
One of the most enjoyable events
of the week was the quilting given
by Mrs. Annie Nobles on last
Thursday.
At 9:25 o’clock the guests began
quilting, all the married ladies tak
ing the ends of the quilts and leav
ing the sides for the single girls, as
there were more single than married
present. At 10:25 the quilts were
ready to roll. After the quilt was
rolled Mrs. Nobles passed around a
basket of fruit which they all en
joyed very much. Being ready for
quilting again, Mrs. Floyd suggest
ed that the married ladies race
against the young girls. The girls,
not being quite as particular with
their sewing as the older ladies,
t>eat of course. At 11:35 the quilts
were ready for hemming.
They were then called in to a
nice dinner which was just simply
fine. Dinner being over, they all
decided, to put in another quilt, as
the bats w’ere all ready. By 2:30
they were ready for quilting again.
Mrs. Rebecca’s eyes being very dim,
she decided to attend to the babies
for their mothers to quilt. Aunt
Matilda dropped her glasses and
broke them so she couldnt quilt
any more. Having lost two of the
best quilters we did not get along
so fast. At 3:30 they all grew
tired and stopped to rest.
Mrs. Nobles was then assisted by
Miss Walter Floyd in serving a de
licious hot course.
Mrs. H. P. Pound being the best
and fastest quilter, won the prize
which was a silver thimble.
After reporting a nice time, they
all bid Mrs. Nobles good afternoon,
and all left for home.
A Sorry Quilter.
.1 A Wade killed five hogs last
Monday aggregating 1626 pounds
as folljws: 413, 33L, 306, 293, and
280 pounds. Four of these hogs
were eighteen months old. The
one weighing 413 pounds was older.
Mr Wade believes in raising “hog
and and hominy” and, living at
home, a farmer like Mr Wade
don’t have to depend on the West
for his meat and bread; and his
success in raising such fine hogs
simply demonstrates what can be
done in Pulaski by any intelligent
and thrifty farmer. When our
sturdy and progressive farmers
raise everything they consume on
the farm and cotton as a surplus,
you will then see our country flour
ish as the green bay tree. We be
lieve it is coming and feel that our
county is as fine as the sun shines
on.

THE FARMERS’ CORN CLUB
THOROUGHLY ORGANIZED
Enthusiastic Meeting of Our Citizens at Opera
House Last Monday Afternoon Launches
The Organization" Under Most
Flattering Auspices.
A real live, enthuastic and work
ing corn club was organized at the
Cochran Opera House, last Monday
afternoon, Feb. 20th and 60 mem
bers were enrolled as contestants.
It is no longer a speculation as to
whether our farmers are going to
demonstrate what Pulaski County
soil can do. These people mean
business. They are going to place
Pulaski where she belongs, in the
forefront of the leading counties of
this state.
Over 60 contestants enrolled at
one meeting. This is a magnificent
showing, and uve are confidently

expecting scores of others to enter.
It doesn’t make any difference
whether you get a prize or not, ev
ery ambitious farmer should enter
this contest, if for no other reason
than to be an integral part in the
uplifting of their county, to he a
portion of a co-operative associa
tion, to help yourself and your
neighbors in demonstrating the pos
sibilities of Pulaski county soil.
Our new representative, the Hon.
J T Deese, made us quite an inter
esting talk in regard to the conserv
ation of the soil and pointed out
the absolute necessity of intensive
CORN CLUB
cultivation to provide for the re
quirements of our rapidly increas
ing populatson—a process we will,
sooner or later, he forced to adopt
as is clearly shown by the expe
rience of all old and densely settled
countries. The time is not far
distant when tne cry for laborers to
till the soil will be changed to the
cry for more soil to till.
Dr J B Peacock d< serves espec
ial mention for his untiring, and
enthusiastic support he has given
to the organization of this club,
having large farm interests him
self and realizing the future of our
country depends more largely upon
the intelligent cultivation of the
soil than on anything else. He has
entered into this movement with
all his heart and has been a great
factor in impressing others.
We are going to have another
meeting Saturday Feb. 25 at 10:00
A. M. and we want every farmer in
Pulaski to come and enter the con
test, and next year we can carry up
to the Macon Fair the greatest
country exhibit ever been seen in
the Central City.

NUMBER 3a
Cotton Anniversary
Of Epworth League
jd Delightful Occasion Held at
The Home of Mr. and Mrs
f. C. Dunham.
One of the most novel and de
lightful affairs in the social calen
dar of this week was the Epworth
League’s celebration of its Cotton
anniversary at the beautiful and
hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. J.
C. Dunham last Tuesday evening.
One year ago this body of young
people wedded themselves to a life
of usefulness and, true to their
vows, they reached the happy occa
sion of their Cotton anniversary.
Decorations consisting of huge spi
der webs made of strands of cotton
anil suspended from the walls in
the hall and parlor produced a pret
ty effect. Delicious fruit punch, ice
cream and cake were served.
Many useful and beautiful gifts
were presented, which will serve a
two-fold purpose. Some will hi
donated to the parsonage and others
to the Orphans’ home.
The generosity of these hapoy
hearted young people is highly
commendable, and we wish for
them many happy returns of many
more anniversaries. Copies of the
League paper, artistiotically tied
with ribbon of the League color,
were given as souvenirs to the de
parting guests.
Why So Many Editors Get Rich.
After a great deal of worry and
study we have at last figured out
how so many editors get rich. Here
is the secret of their success: There
is a child horn in the neighborhood.
The attending physician gets 010
The editor gives the loud lunged
youngster a great send off and gets
SO. It is christened, and the min
ister gets 05 and the editor get-'
000. It grows and marries. Tin
editor publishes another long wind
ed, flowery article and tells a dozen
lies about “the beautiful accom
plished bride.” The minister gets
SlO and a piece of cake. The edit
or gets 0000 and a request to carry
the groom’s subscription account
another year. In the course of
time she dies. The doctor gets
from So to 0100, the minister gets
another 05, the grave digger gets
02, the undertaker gets from 04 to
0100, the editor publishes a funeral
notice two columns long, a lot of
poetry and gets 00,(XX). No won
der so many editors get rich.
