the globe and finally come
to the very simplest and nearest
|H'- best means of educating children
come back to what was the first
of the awakening souls —
•play—genuine play.
J Father, mother, be thankful for the
’ play instinct in your children, en
courage their play, plan for it and if
you haven’t the talent or time, then
send them to the playground, where
they will be cared for properly, taught
games and songs; interesting stories
will be told them, and where their
play will be supervised by a compe
tent director.
“The boy without a playground is
father to the man without a job.”
Study, unrelieved by piay, degener
ates into drudgery; in other words
“all work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy.” Health of body and joy
ousness of spirit are of first impor
tance in rearing children. Play is
not to interfere with work, but only
to sweeten our labors with a real joy
in doing; to increase the amount done;
not lessen it. The more your child
loves play, the more he will ln\ c his
work. The Greeks were the first
great exponents of play in education
and the world has not ceased to mar
vel at the results of Greek educatior.
As the highest type of man, physi
cally, intellectually, they have been
the unsurpassed models of the ages
and are still the inspiration of our
schools. Why ? They placed so much
emphasis on hygiene, exercise, games
and play, which we sometimes neg
lect and so often ignore, making the
’ American-children only !50 per cent,
efficient.
I consider it quite an opportunity
to have a “Supervisor of Play” for
the children of Douglas and hope you
will avail yourselves of this oppor
tunity. I also hope to see some ap
paratus or other equipment provided
for the playground, perhaps donated
by influential citizens, or else secured
.joine way by civic organization.
* An ounce of prevention is certainly
worth a pound of cure, indeveloping
children physically and morally, by
providing an adequate place for them
to enjoy their play; being taught to
appreciate “A Square Deal” and
“Fair Play.” Perhaps the “selfish
ness of the boy” being changed into
“the individuality of the man; ’ his
“boyish willfulness” into “manly de
termination;” his “childish self-con
fidence” into a “dignified self-res
pect;” and his “boy-like pugnacity”
changed into a “capacity for right
eous warfare.”

TO THE FOLKS
IN JJENERAL
I wish to call your attention to the
fact that I am in the Baking Business
again, and am out for the business.
Realizing it takes the best quality of
baking goods to please our Douglas
people, and being familiar with then
wants, I have secured the best baker
obtainable, and propose to put out the
best that can be made, regardless of
the large cities that has been furnish
ing Douglas with bread since I went
out of the business.
I appreciate your patronage of the
past, and if you will give my bread
and cakes a trial I am sure I will en
joy doing business with you again,
for with my experience along this line
coupled with your support, we will
produce the goods that will be a credit
to any city bakery, second to none.
At present my bakery is a little in
convenient for you to visit very often,
but in the near future I hope to locate
in the heart of the city, but until then
J will run a double daily delivery ser
vice. When you want any special
kind of Bread or Cake, I will be glad
to have you order. I make anything
that’s made in an up-to-date bakery.
And “Quality” is my motto. My terms
are strictly cash to one and all. I
sell tickets at a discount.
Yours for Service,
(Adv.) G. T. McNAB.

THE DOUGLAS !E> TER PRISE, DOUGLAS, GA., OCTOBER 2. 1915
IN MEMORY IF GILFORI)
UST THE jriIIRTY-FIRST, 1915
Darling Gilford, he has left us,
Left, yes, left'lor evermore;
But we hope to meet our dear brother
On that happy golden shore.
Dear brother is so dear to us all,
And we long to see again his face;
In virions now I see his form,
But no one can take his place.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast
We have kissed thy loving brow,
And in our aching hearts we know
That we have no darling now.
Dear brother is watching
Around the throne of God on High,
Where throughout eternal ages,
We his name shall glorify.
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
On that happy golden shore,
Where our darling brother is waiting,
Singing there for evermore.
We weep for him, a tender brother,
E’er made man’s fireside bright;
No more devoted a brother love,
E’er kept home altar fires alright.
’T:s ours to miss thee all our years,
And tender memories of thee keep,
Thine in the Lord to rest,
For He giveth his beloved sleep.
—His Sister, Leila Miller.
SAD DEATH OF A CHILD-
A very sad death occurred at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Owen Neugent
last Saturday morning, September
11th, about 6 o’clock. Their little
three vear old son, Clayton, crushed
to dea| i by a heavy wash trough fall
ing on him, crushing his little head
and causing death almost instantly.
His father was pumping water nearby
when he hard the noise of the falling
trough, hastened to the child, caught
it in his arms, where after a few
breaths the young, tender body was
breathless, and the gentle spirit gone
to its Maker. The little crushed body
was put to rest in the cemetery at
Mora, Sunday afternoon, and as the
stricken parents wended their w-ay to
the darkened home after the burial,
the sympathy of their friends went
with |hem.
Put away those little garments
Little Clayton used to wear;
He will need hem on earth never,
He has climbed the golden stair.
The .'amity desires to return thanks
to their friends for t/eir kindness and
sympathy in their 'a jr of sorrow.
