GORDON OPENS
GREAT OLD INSTITUTION IS
READY FOR GOOD YEAR’S
WORK.
Gordon Institute has opened its
fall term and the faculty and student
body are fast getting: down to busi
ness with the purpose to make the
coming year one of the most suc
cessful in all its long and honorable
career.
Dr. Holmes, president, states that
he is expecting the enrollment to be
satisfactory considering the present
financial conditions, which, in many
instances will make it rather hard for
a number of parents to send the boys
and girls to school. He expects the
total enrollment, however, to be
something below that of last year.
Every department of the school is
in excellent condition to do fine
work and with the splendid faculty
there is no doubt that the record to
be made will redound to the credit
of all concerned.
There are two new members of
the faculty in the High School, name
ly, Mr. William Rogers, of Bames
ville, and Mr. C. M. Eyler of Savan
nah.
Miss Hollingsworth, principal of
the Grammar School department, has
already organized her teaching force
for the fall term and excellent work
is being begun. She announces that
there are two new teachers in the
department, namely, Miss Alma
Walker, who is teacher of the 6th
grade, and Miss Annie Johnson of
Mount Vernon, who will be the in
structor in manual training and
physical culture.
It is a matter of interest and grati
fication to the people of the city
that at a recent meeting of the Board
of Trustees, Mr. D. L. Anderson and
Mr. L. C. Tyus were elected as mem
bers of the board. These gentlemen
as well as the school and the citizens
of the community are to be congrat
ulated over their election. They are
among the most popular citizens of
the city and will render splendid ser
vice in the as trustees.
Gordon Institute is deserving of
everything which Barnesville can do
for it and it should always be cared
for as one of the greatest and best
institutions which we have.

Card of Thanks

one who were so kind and thoughtful
of us during the sickness and death
of our dear little babies. May each
one receive blessings from the Great
Divine.

MITESOCIETY REPORT
The Mite Society of the First Bap

last week for solicitor of the City

worthy young citizen and is a son of
Mr. R. C. Johnson of this county.
He is a graduate of the law depart
ment of Mercer University and has
been located in Barnesville for the

BIRTHDAYDINNER
One of the most enjoyable affairs
of the week was a surprise birthday
dinner given on Wednesday evening
by Mrs. C. M. Dunn in honor of her
husband. Mr. William Summers had
been asked to keep Mr. Dunn away
till the dinner hour arrived, in order
that it might be a complete surprise.
None of the guests were invited till
just before the dinner hour. When
Mr. Dunn walked in and found his
friends seated there he hardly knew
what to think. But he soon realized
\yhat it was, for his friends were
busy wishing him many happy re
turns of the day.
An elegant six course dinner was
served by Misses Annie Kate Dunn
and Dorothy Tyus.
Those enjoying the hospitality of
this genial host or hostess were
Messrs. E. T. Holmes, Powell Cot
ter, William Summers, Dr. Willis,
Dr. Cochran, Howard Collier, U. C.
Barrett, Emmett Coleman and D. E.
Kleckley.
COURT ADJOURNS
Judge Wm. E. 11. Searcy, Jr., ad
journed the -September term of La
mar Superior court last Wednesday
afternoon, after a very strenuous
session, nearly the entire first week
being devoted to civil business and
the three days this week to criminal
business. Judge Searcy had been
somewhat unwell all the while but
he stuck closely to the task before
him, even under his physical dis
ability. ' The people appreciate the
services which he rendered and fur
thermore they greatly honor him as
one of the best judges in Georgia.
Much business has been disposed
of, which included nearly all the jail
cases which were on the docket. So
licitor General E. M. Gwen knows
how to rapidly dispense with business
and takes every occasion to hold
down expenss.
One of the imporant criminal cases
was the trial of Will Collier, who
was charged with killing a negro wo
man at '*oggans in 1920. The de
fendant was represented by Col. R.
L. Berner of Macon and Cols. B. 11.
Manry and Claude Christopher of
the Lamar county bar. Col. Ogden
Persons of Forsyth assisted the so
licitor.
