KEV. H. >l. MEEKS WRITES OF HARMONY GROVE MEET. Editor Enterprise: We spent the day Saturday last at New Harmony Grove in a special ser vice in the interest of the Georgia Baptist Hospital. A most entertain ing program was prepared, in which most of the young people of that -plendid community taken part, do ing credit to themselves. Following is some of the parcs of the program: Opening song—“ The King’s Busi ness,” followed by prayer by the pas tor. A fine solo by Miss Mattie Morris. Then five representatives from the k Hospital. Then after other cxercis- Pes by the small children, a sermon by the pastor. The afternoon services consisted of songs, a quartette by four. Miss Mattie Morris at the organ. Closing, a play, “A Day in the Georgia Baptist Hospital.” This was most touching. H. C. Roberts was superintendent. Several nurses were presented, each telling of this work in this play, two little children have come to visit the Hospital and are shown through the institution during the play. The superintendent’s mail is brought in and opened, in which is some applications for admittance. The applicants are not able to pay the bill, but presuming that Georgia Baptists would stand by the institu tion they are admitted. This exercise was to show the work of the institution. It does an im mense charity work. Many are treat ed that are not able to pay the cost. About three hundred thousand Bap tists are behind the institution, and though young, it is proving a great success, and the capacity for doing more extended work is to be increas ed in the near future. A dinner was served at the noon hour that did credit to that splendid community, also lemonade in grata abundance was in evidence, but had quite disappeared by the close' of the afternoon cession. The great congregation enjoyed the day, and was helped by the services. H. M. MEEKS, Pastor. INTERESTING LETTER WRIT TEN BY B. F. GRIFFIS,' S., JUST BEFORE HIS DEATH (Pearson Tribune.) “Following is a letter written some time before his death, Mr. B. F. Griffis, Sr., who died in Pearson in October last, at the age of 65, which was intended for the Douglas Enter prise but was never sent to that pa per. The deceased was writing on the death of a life-long friend. At ) request the Tribune publishes the let ter. It follows.” “Dear Enterprise:—lf you will al low space in your paper I feel de sirous of giving a few sketches of the life of one of Coffee county’s old landmarks and old Confederate vets who has a few days since answered to his last roll call. I have been ac quainted with him since I was a little boy, and he lived, so far as I know, a pure and spotless life. I first remem ber seeing him after the close of the Confederate war, he serving the war through as a private soldier. He has told me about being present at Gen eral Lee’s surrender. This memor able event of the great man, General Lee, occurred near the shade of a large apple tree which soldiers, both grey and blue, cut to pieces, each taking as a souvenir a small piece, he bringing home a small fragment. He was in the great battle of the Wilderness, passing some of the sev erest engagements of the war. He was never wounded, came home after the war was over, again to meet a loving father, a devoted mother, sis ters and brothers. Their home at this time was in Baker county, Fla., afterwards settling in Coffee county, three miles north of where .Pearson is now located. “Mr. Redding Williams is the per son I speak of. He is now resting from his labors, and his work will follow him while war is raging in the far East, thousands of young men be ing cut down by the modern weapons of the war. Large portions of that country s devastated and laid waste, and fatheris and mothers, wives and children, are suffering from neglect and privation. This reminds one of days in the sixties, when Grandpa David Sears sang some sad songs and weeped. “B. F. GRIFFIS, SR.” FOR SALE.

Mill- r”r<fe'4*ia< AmAai*fc4i- j; . • • *- . - A Timely Warning ELEVEN well-known automobiles have advanced in price within the last ninety days. The Maxwell Company has not increased their prices. We do not know what their plans are, but we do know and you know that materials entering into the construction of good automobiles now cost from 20 to 300 per cent more than they did six months ago. Nothing is to be gained by delay. Much may be lost. Not only may you lose several dollars in the purchase price, but you are sacrificing the enjoyment, the relaxation, the health-giving prop erties —everything, in fact, that makes motoring the favorite pastime of the nation. We urge you to come in and investigate the Maxwell. Or, we will refer you to any number of Maxwell owners and let them tell you their own story in their own way. They will tell you what they have told us. That the Maxwell is good-looking that it is powerful—that it is comfortable —that it is economical —in short, that it is the best investment they ever made. They will tell you more and they will tell you gladly and freely. That’s the way they feel toward.us and the Maxwell Car. Whatever you do, don’t put this off. We have a few cars on hand and can take orders for immediate or future delivery— at present prices. If you can’t come in today, phone us for a Maxwell demonstration. %%* ' . ■ s % \ . ■ Touring Car $655 Roadster $635 F. O. B. DETROIT ®w.
