ACTION IS TAKEN ON SECURING COLD STORAGE PLANT ■ ■ ; COMMITTEE IS NAMED AT BOARD OF TRADE FRIDAY LUNCH CLUB MEETING TO LOOK INTO ADVISABILITY OF EST A BLISHING IN DU STR Y. An interesting session of the Fri day Lunch Club, auxiliary of the Board of Trade, was held Friday at I noon, over which Frank C. Ellis, as sistant postmaster, presided and at which there was a large number of farmers, merchants and business men. The feature of the meeting was a discussion of the important questions of transportation and cold storage plants. Hon. Frank Reynolds, of Atlanta, secretary of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, was a guest of honor and delivered the principal speech. He went fully into a discussion of the vital subjects and gave some valua ble information that will be of great value in establishing the community storage plant that is proposed for Griffin and Spalding county. Other speakers were J. E. Wallace, Secretary Royster, Col. W. H. Con nor, Hon. Frank Flynt, W. T. Bennett, City Manager E. P. Bridges, L. J. Gaissert, Douglas Boyd, A. P. Pat terson and others. A committee composed of L. J. Gais sert, E. P. Bridges and A. P. Patter son was appointed to take up the mat ter of establishing the cold storage plant and will make a report at the next meeting. It was definitely de cided to put up an industry of this j kind as soon as possible and it will be of great benefit to farmers in being able to kill and save their meat and other produce at any season of the year. C. K. McLendon, of the Experiment Station, was invited to speak on the cold storage question, but dodged that proposition and gave the pleasing in formation that the Experiment Sta tion was a fixture in Griffin, stating that if it was moved it would be ne cessary for congress to pass a bill to that effect. In providing that the federal fund be paid it was provided that all payments should be made to i the Experiment Station in Griffin, said Mr. McClendon, and this forever settles the agitation of removing it to Athens.

ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 21.—N0 !

Fair i fax Montague, the son of Mr. and Jits. | ' F. E. Montague, of this city, in a let- ■ ter to his father. “The work they did was marvelous” > says Captain Montague. “Remember,! I this was on the Argonne forest, where ' lat the beginning the French troops j i who were being relieved took the ag- i j grieved attitude that they were being! ’ I | forced out of their nicely prepared i ! winter quarters to let the American< I try a hopeless task. For they argued j that they had been there for over j three years and they knew we could i not drive the enemy out of the woods, j But our boys made it in the face of i almost insurmountable obstacles. They ; <jid such things as march half the j night and lie on the cold, wet ground | the other half until dawn; then wade i the Aisne river from waist to neck ■ deep in the face of enemy machine gun and artillery fire; take ridges that were hard for me to climb when there was nothing but dead men to' block my progress; while at the time they were taken these ridges were lit erally covered with machine guns and gunners.” The Eighty-Second Divis ion, train-! ed at Camp Gordon, is very close to the hearts of Georgians and South erners generally, because it was offi cered by men drawn from these States who trained in the first officers’ train ing camp at Fort McPherson. Most of the enlisted mtn of the division were selectmen from the New York territory, but the officers were prac tically ail Southerners.
