THE JACKSON HERALD. JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
Jefferson Rotary Club
Meeting
Jefferson Rotary had as a guest
at its luncheon Tuesday in the Har
rison Hotel Rev. J. S. Hartsfield,
who is president of Eastman Rotary.
For several years he served the
Baptist church of Eastman, had a
call elsewhere, and accepted. The
people of the Eastman church were
not satisfied without his services,
and after an absence of a few years
he returned to Eastman to accept a
second call from that church. When
a Rotary club in that city was or
ganized, Mr. Hartsfield was unani
mously chosen to be the president.
In Jefferson he was back at his
adopted home, where he won the
heart and hand of one of Jackson
county’s fair daughters, Miss Ethel
Stockton. Both Mr. and Mrs. Harts
field have many friends here, where
Mr. Hartsfield was serving as pastor
uf the Baptist church when he and
Mrs. Hartsfield were married. It
was a pleasure to have him with Jef
ferson Rotary at its last meeting.
Other guests were Mr. and Mrs.
A. G. Fisher of Indianapolis, who
are spending awhile here as guests
of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Bryan. Judge
W. W. Stark, who is presiding over
Jefferson City Court this week,
honored the club by accepting an in
vitation to be a guest at their lunch
eon. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Abney
from Athens were given the glad
hand of welcome by members of the
club. They were highly appreciated
guests.
Other guests were Professor J. T.
Brooks, Misses Evelyn Cason, Flor
ence Lassiter, Carolyn Radford and
Alice Reins, all members of Martin
Institute faculty, who have been se
lected by Professor Kizer to be back
with him here next year. This is
glad news, for the people here were
anxious for their return, as well as
all the other members of this year’s
faculty. Miss Mabeth Storey’s per
formance at the piano is always an
enjoyable part of Rotary gathering.
She performed at the piano, while
the four above named ladies favored
the club with a quartette, which was
highly pleasing to Rotarians and
guests. The feature of this meeting
was an address by Mrs. Morris M.
Bryan, a Rotary Ann; also, a friend
and helper of the club from its in
cipiency. She was also represent
ing the Jefferson Woman’s Club. She
made a speech on “My Impressions
of Rotary,” which brought forth
the big glad hand of applause. She
referred to the fact that this is Cot
ton Week, and how the people here
are dependent on cotton, and every
possible use of cotton goods should
be encouraged. What is needed is
more uses for cotton. Mrs. Bryan s
speech was not only entertaining,
but very instructive. It was deeply
appreciated by all present.
