BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1922 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. o WANTED—Two connecting rooms for light housekeeping, with bed room furnished, with lights and water. —H.

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.

TO WALK TO RICHMOND Uncle George Sheram announced Wednesday that he was going to at tend the Confederate Reunion at Richmond in June and would make the trip going and coming by walk ing, all the way there and back. He has once before made the trip, in 1913. He believes he can success fully make it and is counting on hav ing a fine time.
