car was sent to Atlanta, where Mr.

week.' A number of the club mem
bers have sold their products to the
local markets, realizing fair prices
for them.

ENCAMPMENT WAS
A GREAT SUCCESS
The Encampment of the religious
workers of the Woman’s Missionary
Unions, Sunday Schools, B. Y. P. U’s,
etc., of the Centennial Association,
which was held at I.ifsey Springs last
week, was a great success, even sur
passing the highest expectations of
those who promoted it. The attend
ance was fine throughout the week
and everything passed off in an ex
cellent way.
Rev. Arthur Jackson, Mr. Joe 11.
Smith, Airs. Ella Bowers, Mrs. H. F.
Morrell, Mrs. Emmett Langford and
Airs. O. T. Dewberry were largely in ;
charge of all the details which con
tributed to the success of the under-1
taking. Everybody who attended,
either regularly or from time to time,
had a genuinely good time every day.
Real work was done by those who
attended, studying diligently the sev
eral courses provided by the program
and a large number will be awarded
diplomas. There were several in
spirational addresses by leading men
and women of the Baptist denomina
tion of the state and much good was
certainly accomplished. Among the
visiting men and women whose ser
vices were so helpful were Rev. Fred
E. Smith of Hapeville, Rev. J. Fred
Edens of Toccoa, Mr. H. L. Batts,
State B. Y. P. U. secretary, Prof. R.
W. Edenfield, Mr. George W. An
drews, State Sunday School secre
tary, Mrs. C. W. King of Atlanta,
Rev. H. N. Alassey of Jonesboro, Airs.
Claude Gray of Locust Grove, Dr. L.
AI. Latimer of Griffin, Rev. 11. M.
Fugate of Alacon, Rev. C. S. Durden
of Thomaston, Mrs. J. F, Fowler,
Alissionary to Argentina. The even
ing services were attended by large
crowds from the surrounding com
munity.
In addition to the study and wor
ship everybody enjoyed the recrea
tion and the bathing in the pools. It
was indeed a wonderful success and
it is believed the encampment next
year will be much more largely at
tended and even a bigger success in
every way.
“NO MORE WAR” PARADE
Under the auspices of the Barnes
ville Chapter of that great and useful
organization, the Woman’s Chris
tian Temperance Union, there was an
impressive parade last Saturday
morning, represented by a number of
organizations and individuals, with
cars properly decorated with “No
more war” placards, the parade go
ing through the main streets of the
city.
Following the parade the audience
went into the Mildred Theatre, where
Prof. J. D. Smith delivered an inter
esting and helpful address, giving the
history of the movement and pointing
out the methods now being used to
create sentiment against future wars.
Prof. Smith was heard with interest
and profit and the occasion, which
was simultaneously observed through
out the country and the world, will
result, it is hoped, in much good.
