CITY WINSTN MEANS CASE The City of Barnesville in the suit for damages because of the killing of little William Means by automobile accident two or three years ago won the case in a decision rendered by the Court of Appeals last week. The City through its attorneys, Dobbs & Barrett, demurred to the suit. It was argued before Judge W. E. H. Searcy, Jr., and the demurrer was sustained. Hon. Robert L. Berner, representing Mr. Venus Means, fath er of the little boy, carried the case up, and it was one of the very last cases he argued before his recent death. The Court of Appeals sus tained Judge Searcy and the City won the suit. RAIDING STILLS Sheriff Z. T.

ELLIOTT, Sheriff. 1 * INTERESTING MEETING OF THE NEW CLUB The club women of Barnesville rarely enjoy a more delightful after noon than was favored them by the Literary and Musical Club at the club house June 14th. This club, the latest organization of the classic little city instantly met with such fa vor and response that it seems des tined to have the charmed life of the goddess, Minerva, who sprang into existence full-fledged from the brain of Jupiter. The efficient president, Mrs. C. M. Dunn, and her talented co-workers are much interested in the welfare of the club which is an assurance of complete success. At 4 o’clock the hostesses, Mrs. W. H. Hahr, Mrs. B. M. Turner and Mrs. Alva Matthews, received guests on the veranda of the club house whore by a mysterious freak of nature the summer breezes blow regardless of temperature. After cordial greet ings the hostesses led the way to a scene of beauty where two daintily dressed girls, Virginia Hahr, Louise Holmes of Sparta served punch and sandwiches. Arriving with Mrs. Dunn were the guests of honor, Mrs. G. A. Heide of Macon, 6th District Chairman of Georgia Federated Music Club, and Mrs. T. R. Lane, 2nd Vice-President of G. F. M. C. In the assembly room Mrs. Dunn announced a program that held en rapt attention through every number. 1. Etude Pathetique—Chaminade —Miss Elizabeth Anderson. 2. Two Lyrics—Mrs. Malcolm Jones. (a) Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes—Ben Johnson. (b) Evening Song—Sidney La nier. 3. 2nd Mazurka —Yodard—Miss Marian Bush. 4. “Spring Dance”—Vocal Waltz —Emily J. Mercer—Misses Grace Neely, Jewell Maddox and Mary Woodall; Mesdames Hunt, Cotter and Neely. After the program the President introduced the speakers of the af ternoon who fulfilled their mission : in the highest degree of satisfaction. ! Their talks were as interesting as they were helpful. With enthusiasm they reviewed the work of the 6th District and the state and insisted tha local clubs should always send representatives to conventions. The suggestion that the public spirited men be incited to become honorary members of the club met with hearty response. There was some specula tion as to whether a committee of even the most magnetic personality could persuade them to join. But it does take extraordinary courage to face so formidable a force as a 20th century woman’s club. They are the same gentle creatures who make comfortable the easy chair and have ready the evening paper while they bake rolls and broil steak for their lords of creation. Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Heide insisted emphatically that the club appreciate home talent, a lesson any community would do well to learn. A sugges tion that would tend to bring out home talent was the idea of an ex change; for instance, we send two numbers of a program to some near by city or town to give the spice of variety to their program and the club visited send us two numbers to in fuse new enthusiasm into our pro gram. The advice that we study Parlimentary laws was timely and well delivered. The advantages of a study course was stressed and the President has remarked that the club will probably take Sidney Lanier first. Mrs. Dunn asked that the chair men of the different committees meet at her home at 8 P. M. to dis cuss with Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Heide the plan of work their respective com mittees would undertake. After adjournment the charming hostesses again brought the social feature of the aftenoon into promi nence and again the dainty girls served punch. MRS. J. V/. REEVES, Publicity Com. - Thrift, To lire well differs from living ex travagantly : for the first comes f i om 1 moderation and a sufficiency and good order and propriety and frugality, but the other comes from intemperance and luxury and want of order and want of propriety. And the end (the consequence) of the one Is true prals*e, but of the other blame. If. then, you wish to live well, do not seek to be commended for profuse ex penditure. —Epictetus (A. D. CO).
