CIVITAN BANQUET.
BARNESVILLE, Ga., Dec. 31.—The
holiday season, which has 'been very
quiet throughout this vicinity, was
practically brought to its close with
one of the most beautiful and inter¬
esting events ever witnessed in the
community when the Bamesville Ci
vitian Club held a banquet in the
dining room of the Sixth District A.
4c M. School. There were about 100
members and guests present. There
were a number of guests from Macon,
** Thomaston, Jackson and other places.
The decorations and the dinner
were in charge of the women’s clubs
of the city. President Ben Turner
and Dr. J. A. Corry were in charge
of the program, which included num¬
erous stunts.
h
f
Dr. Leon M. Latinier, pastor of the
local First Baptist church, delivered
a most wonderful and magnificent
sermon before a large audience at the
First Methodist church Sunday even¬
ing, when union services were held in
the interest of the • Grjffin Relief As¬
sociation.
After the business of the meeting
had been disposed of, Dr. Latimer
was introduced to tell something of
the conditions in Europe, as he found
them while attending the recent world
meeting of the Baptists at Stockholm*
Sweden.
In addition to attending the meeting
and the various duties connected with
it, he and his party made a tour of
the European countries and it was
then that he made some wonderful
observations. While on the trip he
regularly mailed some interesting
stories of the journey home especially
for the News and Sun. V
Sunday evening he told of the des¬
olate conditions of the countries as
they were left by the recent world
He also touched briefly on the
political, moral and economical con¬
ditions; thoroughly discussing each in
a brief and interesting manner, show¬
ing evidence of deep thought and con¬
secration on the subject.
One of the most interesting obser¬
vations was the effect prohibition was
having on the countries of Europe.
They seem to have a tendency to jest
about American prohibition, he stated,
but its success is getting on their
nerves. While returning home on a
French vessel, he especially noted the
signs advertising the bars, which in¬
dicated that the bar rooms would be
closed when the ship reached Ameri¬
can waters.
The most, beautiful feature of his
talk came at the end when he recited
Henry Van Dyke’s wonderful and
patriotic poem, “Home Again." It
tells how nice it is to travel in for¬
eign countries and observe the mag¬
nificent things found there, but when
it comes to living, he wants to come
to America where the air is full
sunshine and "the flag is full of
