DELIGHTFUL EVENT
ARMISTICE DAY AS OBSERVED
IN BARNESVILLE WAS GREAT
SUCCESS.
The manner in which Armistice
Day, November 11th, was observed
in Barnesville proved eminently
satisfactory to all who had any part
in the exercises and who were con
cerned for the success of the occa
sion. Asa whole it is doubtful if
any event was ever more pleasantly
and successfully carried to its con
summation than the Armistice Day
exercises last Friday, in the program
in Gordon Auditorium and at the
dinner given the ex-service men at
Gordon dormitory, with the program
which was observed there. There
were probably one hundred ex-ser
vice men of Lamar county present
and everyone of them appeared to
immensely enjoy the entire occasion.
At the Gordon auditorium there
was an immense audience, which in
cluded the students of Gordon Insti
tute and the Sixth District A. & M.
School. The program here was
splendid, arranged by the faculty of
Gordon in conjunction with the
Barnesville Chapter of the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union. Dr. E.
T. Holmes, president of Gordon, pre
sided at this meeting.
The Gordon Band furnished sev
eral pieces of inspiring music, which
was followed appropriately by the
entire audience in singing America.
Rev. Arthur Jackson led the prayer.
The other interesting numbers in
cluded a reading by Mrs. Malcom
Jones, a song by Mrs. H. E. Arm
strong, a piano solo by Miss Marion
Bush, a reading by Miss Edna Mor
ris and talks by Dr. Holmes and
Prof. T. 0. Galloway telling the part
the former students of Gordon and
the A. & M. had in the great war.
The principal address of the audi
torium exercises was delivered by
Col. Claude Christopher, an ex-ser
vice man, who some time ago locat
ed in Bamesville for the practice of
law. His address was entirely ap
propriate and was a literary gem,
paying tribute to the valor of the
American soldier and calling upon all
to keep faith with the principles for
which he fought in the world war.
Col. Christopher was warmly con
gratulated on his magnificent ad
dress.
Following the auditorium exer
cises all the ex-service men were in
vited to the Gordon dormitory, where
they were tendered a bountiful and
a magnificent dinner as the guests
of the members of the W. C. T. U.
This was one of the most delightful
affairs ever witnessed in the city.
Everything was free and easy and
everybody present thoroughly enjoy
ed every minute of the time there.
During the several course dinner
there were a number of bright,
spicy and helpful toasts on subjects
appropriate to the occasion by Mrs.
Griffith, Prof. R- W. Edenfield,
Col. Herman N. Johnson, Mrs. C. H.
Morris and a humbrous reading by
Miss Lucy Talley.
Mrs. C .H. Morris, president of
the W. C. T. U., was assisted by va
rious members of the organization
and a number of young ladies of the
city assisted in serving the splendid
dinner. Mrs. N. L. Bush, manager
of the Dormitory, also gave invalu
able aid in seeing the arrangements
so excellently carried out.
It was a happy thought of these
good women in providing this din
ner for these ex-service men and
judging by the expressions of these
young heroes after it was over it is
genuinely appreciated. Some of the
ladies have expressed the purpose to
repeat it next year, when we are
sure there will be even a larger at
tendance of ex-service men of Lamar
county, of whom there are probab
ly a total of 150.
It w r as indeed a great Uay and the
members of the W. C. T. U. deserve
the heartiest congratulations for its
success.

TO OUR FRIENDS
AND CUSTOMERS
Owing to depressed financial con
ditions, and our inability to make
the usual fall collections, we are
compelled to place our business on a
cash basis, beginning with this date.
This is not in accord with our
former policy, nor our feeling toward
the public, but our own obligations
make it necessary.
We hope that this action upon our
part will be understood and appre
ciated by those who have so liberal
ly favored us with their patronage in
the past. To them and to new cus
tomers we pledge the same fidelity
and effort to please that we have
ever exercised and ask a continu
ance of favors.
Faithfully yours,
The Barnesville Drug Cos.
