To some'Knight, every night
- But lost night Wtt ;‘<)ar ^>y^Lnigbt—
“When Knighthood Wgs ft Flower."
This little old Burg andt#U that was
in it belonged to the Soldier* v and Bailor
Boys last night—Just at this ..little old
World of ours belongs to the valiant men
who fought to make it free. This day
is u Young Man’s Day and yesterday and
last night they got a foretaste of the
time when they will be iutoutrul of
thiugs.
The women of Tifton, as represented
by the Twentieth Century Library Club,
scored another ten-iitrike when they cel
ebrated Armistice Day with a banquet
to the returned Service Men of Tift coun
ty. Those women have been doing a fine
aud au unusual thing In making public
acknowledgement of the indebtedness
of Tifton to some of the men and women
who have been instrumental iu the mak
ing of the Tifton of today; they carried
out this beautiful thought effectively in
giving the returned Service Mon here a
public token of their country’s gratitude
aud appreciation.
At noon Tifton closed up tight—as
tight as ou Sunday—and everybody took
a holiday. By the middle of the after
noon, the town was full of young men in
uniform, and before the time set for the
parade there was several Hundred cars
parked near the Myon. where it was to
start. The pupils of the Tifton schools
and a number from A. M. S. came in to
take part.
Just here, as things were almost ready
to start. Jupiter Pluvius took a notion
to weep; u thing which he bad been
threatening to do all day. Whether it
was for grief at thought of the Boys
who went across, and did not return, or
whether it wus for joy at seeing so many
of the manly young fellows back, we
know not: sufficient to say that,be wept
copiously, and just at 5 when the big
parade was to form.
The portion of the parade which in
cluded the school children had to be aban
doned because* of the downpour. The
question was put to the men in uniform
whether or not they should parade -and
the vote therefor was nlmost unanimous.
The men who had seen service in France
said that a rain was . lust like old times
to them. They formed in columns of
fours und marched around the block, mak
ing an inspiring sight which brought a
desire to sec all of the returned Service
Men in the county in uniform in one big
parade in the nonr future.
While the boys were awaiting the ban-
ipiut iionr at- the hotel atmmherof them
niilhcivd at Tullis' place at the corner of
First and Main streets, and converted
it into a regular American urniy canteen,
swapping jokes and war yarnsnnd hav
ing a good time generally. All tbnt was
needed to make it a transplanted French
cafe was a gareon and madam or madem
oiselle.
Long before the hour set for the ban
quet the Hotel Myon lobby, stairway,
reading-room and parlors were filled with
a waiting throng in which uniforms large
ly predominated. The club women
out in force and devoted themselves to
entertaining their guests..
A collection of souvenirs brought back
from overseas by Tift county boys was
displayed in the reading-room Mrs. Lec-
roy Herring aud Miss Fannie lA*e Thrash-
r having it in charge. It was quite an
xtensive collection and embraced quite
: number of novelties made by the Hol
ders themselves from .shells, cartridges,
bullets, part of aeroplanes, etc. Notable
the collection were a German trench
lieriscope, a saw-tooth bayonet, and a
•nnnn trench telephone.
An orchestra bad been brought from
Macon and after 0 o'clock music helped
pass the time while waiting. The boys
did "not need any help, however, as they
having a good time with songs, jokes
erai»s and stories.
The banquet was served in a remark
ably short time after the supper hour,
covers being laid for 215. Right here a
word should be said for the excellence of
the spread and the capable wgy In which
Manager Rooney and his staff handled
the big crowd and difficult problems. Mrs.
Oscar Bowen was chairman of the club’i
committee looking after this part of the
ork.
The boys in uniforih marched in two
ud two and were instructed to occupy
alternate chairs, it being designed for one
of the club women to sit by each of them
This plan could only be carried out in
part, however, as it was necessary at
of the tables for the Service Men
to occupy every chair. There was sufficient
i, however, for nearly all of the club
women after their guests had been ac
commodated.
Rev. W. H. Budd returned thanks.
Mayor Hargrett welcomed the boys to
Tifton, telling them how Tifton missed
them while they were away and carried
on the war work here because our hearts
ere with them overseas.
Capt Steve Mitchell responded in be
half of the men in uniform and said a
few good words for the American Legion.
Lieut McCoy expressed the apprecia
tion of the enlisted mc n for the women of
the Twentieth Century Library Club and
their royal entertainment
Mr. J. G. Padrick was called on and
spoke of the great work done by the boya
overseas, telling how American arms and
American valor had turned the scale in
favor ot the Allies and human liberty.
Mrs. H. H. Tift paid a short memorial.

marketing of sweet potatoes.
They made a trip to Ty Ty in- the

visions and different branches of the
vice, which kept the large audience
laughing and cheering. It was a clever
give-and-take, and they did not spare each
other at times.
Among those talking were Mitchell,
Smith, Poole, Parker, Albertson, Cobb,
Kidder, Bennett, Lovitt, McCoy, Shep
pard, Sullivan, and others. Albertson
proposed three cheers for the Twentieth
Century Library Club which were given
with a will. Capt. Mitchell told how
the boys appreciated the work of the
club and mentioned Mrs. Peterson es-
pecially.
The toast, “Our Boys” was given by
Mrs. Peterson.
Mayor Hargrett dismissed the assem
blage with the assurance to the boys
that, despite the fact that they were kind
enough to say that the folks back home
won the war, we know that the men in
uniform did the work ,and give them
full credit for It.
After the formal program, thero was
music, conversation and dancing., until
the early hours of the morning. After
the dining room had been cleared, it was
also thrown open to the dancers.
It is hoped that this occasion will be
the fore-runner of a more general obser
vance of Armistice Day throughout the
nation, and in Tifton and Tift county es
pecially. The boys entered heartily into
the spirit of the occasion and during
their talk several times expressed tbe de
sire that they should meet every year
in uniform and do something towards
celebrating the great anniversary. We
hops t^is will be done.
Full credit should be given the club
women who made the affair such a suc
cess.' They always do these things well
Sometimes when they start something we
