MASS MEETING
THE FARMERS OF LAMAR COUN
TY WILL MEET IN COUNTY
COURT ROOM IN THE CITY
HALL AT BARNESVILLE, SAT
URDAY, NOVEMBER 12, AT
2:30 P. M.
The Directors of the Lamar Coun
ty of Trade at their meeting
last week projected a plan of Farm
ers Meetings throughout the Coun
ty. The first meeting will be held at
the City Hall in Barnesville next
Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock.
The next meeting will be held at
some early date at night at the Pros
pect School House; followed by meet
ings at Jo'nnstonville and Milner in
their School Houses. Messrs. Drexel
and Adams have secured a moving
picture apparatus with slides and the
meetings will be made as interesting
as possible in this way.
These meetings are for the Farm
ers, and they are intended to be their
meetings. The farmers will discuss
their problems and perfect plans for
meeting present conditions. No man
is able to meet these conditions in
dependent of his neighbor. It is im
perative that other crops than wee
vil-besieged cotton be planted. Mark
et facilities and incentives must be
provided for other crops than cot
ton. The merchants and bankers
and professional men will lend their
best, efforts to the success of any
plan which the farmers may adopt.
Crops of some kind must be rais
ed, crops which will bring money re
turns or business will starve. Some
way must be devised in advance to
insure to the producer that he can
convert his produce into cash. Now
is the time, and we know of no oth
er way to secure this result other
than through conferences and co
operation, b*th of the farmers and
the business world.
It is urged that every farmer at-!
tend this first meeting. Come pre
pared to propose some plan, which,
through co-operation, can be made
to succeed.
D. L. Anderson, Sec’y Manager,
Lamar County Board of Trade.

Friday, tomorrow, November lllh,
Armistice Day, will be a holiday and

afternoon at the Club house, very

business was transacted. Mrs. Henry

freshments were served by the hos
tesses.
FINE ENTERTAINMENT
The Kateha-Koo entertainment,
presented by the John B. Rogers
Producing Cos., under the skillful di
rection of Miss Cecile M. Oliver, the
representative, last Friday evening
at Gordon auditorium, was a mag
nificent success, thoroughly pleasing
the large audience, many of whom
came from the surrounding com
munities to witness it.
The various features of the enter
tainment were splendidly executed,
showing careful training and prepa
ration, all the characters performing
their parts in a very satisfactory
manner. It was throughout interest
ing and in many phases it was amus
ing and humorous, the play being
well balanced, and holding attention
of adults and children from begin
ning to end.
Coach Mosley, as the Maharajah,
Mr. Powell Cotter, as Kateha-Koo,
Prof. C. M. Eyler and Mr. Charles
Rogers, in the parts they played,
won unstinted praise from the au
dience, and this is also true of the
other main participants,, namely,
Miss Zadine Horne, Miss Johnson,
Mrs. I. N. Raines, Mrs. Alva Mat
thews, Miss Jewel Maddox, Miss
Grace Neely, Miss Alta Peacock,
Miss Nelle Millen, Miss Sara Staf
ford, on through the entire list, in
cluding even the little tots.
Everybody was greatly pleased
with the presentation of the unique
musical comedy and are laving in
their praise of all who took part in
it.

Us’.were well attended Sunday night.
The Senior Union sent a team to
Valley Grove " Sunday afternoon.
They gave a splendid program and
started an organization there. We
are proud of the work our young
people arc doing.
There was a good attendance at
both our Sunday morning and Sun
day evening services last Sunday.
But we are expecting a much larger
attendance next Sunday at every
service. Remember that we begin
our Evangelistic meetings with the
Sunday morning service. The pas
tor'will preach both morning and
evening. But Dr. Frank L. Hardy
will come on Monday and will ,do
the preaching throughout the, re
mainder of the meeting. Dr. Hardy
is pastor of the Central Baptist
Church of Newnan, Ga. He is in
great demand for evangelistic meet
ings, and has been quite successful
in this work. In fact, he is one of
the most successful pastor evange
lists in the state.
Prof. C. M. Eyler will lead our
congregational singing. Prof Eyler
needs no introduction to our people.
Since coming to Gordon he has been
a great help in the music of our
church. We urge that all our peo
ple co-operate with him in making
the song services what they should
be. Good singing is a great feature
in any series of meetings, and we
want that our singing shall he the
very best. Join in the singing. We
most cordially invite the people of
the other churches to help us with
the singing.
May we not urge that you begin
to attend these services with the
very first one. Do not wait to 3ee
whether we are going to have a great
meeting before you begin coming.
But begin with us and let it be a
great meeting for you. Help us to
make it great. Cojfie Sunday morn
ing and do not miss a single service.
