GETTING READY FOR THE
DOUGLAS SINGING CON.
Editor Enterprise:
I would like to say a few words'
through your paper in regard to the
singing cause.
A little over two years ago I moved
to Douglas, the people in this section
of the county, except a few in town,
were all strangers to me. The first
singing I attended in the spring of
T 3, was at the Vickers School House.
This singing was led by Profs. J. M.
Spivey and B. L. Davis, but since that
time we have had several all-day sing
ings at that place. Some people that
were strangers to me when I made
my first visit out there two years ago
are my friends now. I taught a sing
ing school at that place last summer,
which I am glad to say was a success,
ESSENTIALS OR
NON-ESSENTIALS
Does it occur to the happy and con
tented women and mothers who spend
their entire time making their homes
models of neatness and precision, and
their children models of daintiness
and beauty that those children under
the superior educational advantages
of this day and time are making prod
igious progi-ess?
In a few years when the physical
cares cease, and germs have become
extinct, will not the time come to
meet the spiritual and intellectual de
mands of his or her young mind, and
will we be prepared to meet these
demands? Will our children look up-
us in a loving, dutiful way anly,
and not as a kindred, and congenial
mind and soul?
There are so many household con
veniences and appliances at the pres
ent day, that it is not necessary to
spend one’s whole time n a ccasless
round of domestic duties as our an
cestors did.
Social ease is something to be de
sired and acquired if possible, but a
well informed mind and a well poised
ed character will come nearer per
petuating our memory in the hearts
of our sons and daughters than any
social advancement.
Surely in the long summer days
there is at least a few hours that
Women can spend in self-improve
ment and advancement to keep their
minds bright, so that father will not
be the only source of information on j
current events and topics of the day; [
not the only broad-minded and clear
headed individual in the home.
A correct sense of values is an im
portant possession, and here’s hop- ]
ing that we may learn to conserve
our energies and be able to designate j
between the essential and non-essen
tial duties of our home life.

and I am proud to see the effects of
this school of a year ago still bear
ing fruit.
The people are getting more inter
ested in this work, it seems, than
ever before, but the field is very large
and the harvest is great, and I find
it impossible for me to cover this
large field and reap this great har
vest alone.
Just here I want to ask my sing
ing friends and co-workers in the
song field to join me hand in hand in
this work and help me reap the great
harvest. Let’s make old Coffee the
banner singing county in the South.
We can do it; we have the material
to do it with; just needs a little train
ing. Now, singing friends, will you
do what you can to make this year,
1915, the banner singing year for old
Coffee? Say yes, and go to work.
On the first Sunday we had a fine
all-day sing at Vickers School House
which was much enjoyed. It is now
just a little over three months until
the Coffee County Singing Convention
convenes a Douglas, and I would like
to see classes from every section of
the county visit this convention. We
have several good leaders and teach
ers in the county, among them being
Profs. Charlie Wall, William Maine,
Hugh Ricketson, Rufus Robert's, B.
L. Davis, S. M. Todd. Any of these
leaders will, I think, attend your
school or church and lead your sing
ing if you will extend to them an in
vitation to dp so.
I think we have as good singers
here in Coffee county as any county
in the South. Just a little more prac
tice is needed to make this' county
the banner singing county.
Recently in the town of Pearson
we conducted an all-day sing at the '
Baptist church until 11:00 A. M., ad
journed until 1:30 P. M., to lead the
singing for a revival at the Method
ist church being conducted at that
place by • Rev. Milton Leggett. We
will sing again in Pearson the 4th
Sunday in June. Now, my singing
friends, let’s make this one of the
best sings of our history.
In closing I want to thank the good
people of Pearson for their kind hos
pitality and able manner in which
they entertained the people that vis
ited the sing at that place. Every
body was .well cared for by those
good people. May they live long,
and their memory linger forever.
Yours for better singing,
GEO. W. RIGHT.
SIR EDWARD CROKES
Has discovered how to make
optical glass that absorbs all
the heat, or harmful rays of
light—it is these heat rays that
cause a blair and dread of
light even after the correct
focus lenses are worn.
With “Crookes” glass it is
posible to look at a strong
source of light such as an elec
tric light or in an open furnace
without discomfort.
Every one who uses their
eyes by artificial light either
day or night, and every auto
mobile driver, should have a
pair of lenses madeof thisglass.
Come in at once and lets stop
vour eye worry.
