A ROUSING MEETING
ADVERTISING CLUB HAS BAR
BECUE AND FINE TIME.
One of the most enjoyable, most
successful and most inspiring gather
ings held in Bamesville in a long
time was the barbecue in Stafford
Hall Thursday evening last week,
when the Bamesville Advertising
Club furnished a barbecue and had
about 150 citizens of the city and
community present. The event was
voted indeed a great success, and it
is believed it will result in much
good. The best of spirit prevailed
and genuine enthusiasm was created
as different speakers told of the good
the advertising club had already done
and the promise it held out for still
further benefit to Bamesville and
Lamar county.
The barbecue itself, with Bruns
wick stew and chero-cola served with
it, was excellent. It was well pre
pared, cooked and served, everybody
having an abundance and there was
considerable left over. Those in
charge of this feature did well their
part in making the occasion a most
satisfactory one.
Prof. Joseph D. Smith, as toast
master, was at his best, making some
helpful and profitable suggestions
during the program of speech mak
ing. The closest attention was given
every talk and valuable lessons were
given to those present regarding the
best methods of carrying forward the
good work which has been started.
Among those who made talks in
the order in which they appeared on
the program were B. H. Hardy, E. P.
Drexel, H. A. Cliett, Curtis Barrett,
Claude Christopher, Dr. J. A. Corry,
L. C. Tyus, Emmett Langford, J. T.
Butler, each of whom commended the
efforts which have been made and
urged every possible co-operation and
support for the advertising club and
the movements in the county looking
to advancement of the general wel
fare.
Asa result of the meeting about
twenty-five new members were en
rolled in the advertising club and it
is believed quite a number of others
are going to assist in enlarging the
scope of the Golden Rule sales which
are being held by the club every sec
ond Monday. It is the purpose to
hold similar gatherings every month
or two.
There appears to be enthusiatsic
approval of the co-operative market
ing which has recently been given
such a splendid start by County
Agent Cliett, Vocational Agent E. P.
Drexell and Mr. D. L. Anderson, sec
retary of the Lamar County Board
of Trade. It is expected the hog
sale on the second Monday (in May Ls
going to be a great success.
MEETING IN PROGRESS
Revival meetings started at the
First Methodist church Sunday and
will probably continue for ten days
or two weeks. Rev. H. L. Edmond
son, the pastor, preached at both ser
vices Sunday, preaching two excel
lent and very earnest and impressive
sermons. There were no other ser
vices in the city Sunday evening, all
the congregations worshipping to
gether at the First Methodist church.
Monday afternoon, Dr. B. F.
Fraser, pastor of the Wesley Memo
rial church of Atlanta, arrived and
will do the preaching during the
meeting. He is a college mate and
long time friend of Brother Edmond
son. He is one of the foremost pas
tor-evangelists of the North Georgia
conference and has been very suc
cessful in his work in both lines. He
Ls deeply in earnest and is unusually
forceful as a speaker. His sermon
Monday evening dealt with David
and the Giant and was a vivid picture
of the Bible story, from which he
drew many lessons of value for the
church in the present day.
The singing is proving an attrac
tive feature of the meetings. Two
services a day are being held, at 10
o’clock a. m. and 7:30 p. m., each
beginning promptly and running for
just about one hour. Other services
may be announced later.
Everybody in the community is
given a cordial and an earnest invita
tion to attend and participate in the
meetings. They are being held for
the good of all the people and it is
sincerely hoped that they will result
in a gracious revival.

FINE MEMORIAL DAY
EXERCISES WEDNESDAY
Memorial day was appropriately
observed Wednesday by the citizens
of Bamesville and community, ex
ercises being held in Gordon audi
torium at 10:30 o’clock in the morn
ing, from which place the veterans,
school children and citizens marched
to the cemetery, led by the Gordon
band and Battalion, where the graves
of all the soldiers were decorated
with flowers.
The exercises at the auditorium
were inspiring and enthusiastically
applauded by the veterans and by
others present. The Gordon orches
tra furnished several pieces of stirr
ing music, Messrs. Prout, Cotter,
Mosely and Eyler sang a fine quar
tette and Miss Jewell Maddox sang
one of her beautiful solos.
Dr. E. T. Holmes presided and in
troduced Rev. Arthur Jackson, who
delivered the memorial address. It
was a magnificent effort, in which the
south and its statesmen and public
men were highly eulogized for the
splendid part they had played in the
history of the country. The record
of the Confederate soldier was high
ly praised and the Daughters of the
Confederacy commended for the
work they had done in collecting ma
terial for and in writing the history
of the south. The address won
hearty applause during its delivery
for the many beautiful sentiments
expressed and the speaker was warm
ly congratulated for the address
which he delivered.
A FINE DINNER
An exceptionally fine dinner was
served the veterans at the club house
by the ladies, which they very great
ly enjoyed and appreciated. It was
one of the finest dinners they say
they have ever had, as many as they
have had served them in previous
years. It consisted of barbecue,
chicken, other meats, cakes, pies, etc.,
all prepared and served with hearts
full of love by the good and noble
women, who have always been true
to the cause in which the veterans
had offered their lives during the
’Sixties. Mr. J. L. Duncan offered a
vote of thanks to these ladies at the
conclusion of the dinner, which was
enthusiastically carried, all the vet
erans and their friends participating
in the voting. It was indeed a great
day and the Willie Hunt Smith chap
ter of the Daughters of the Confed
eracy honored themselves highly by
the manner in which they carried out
the various features of the day’s pro
gram.

Mrs. W. B. Smith, the president,

him in his purpose. He is now 83
