CALI, US BROWN’S GARAGE,PHONE 64 Bartlesville, Georgia BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1922 GOOD MAN DIES Mr. E. T. Crowder, beloved Con federate soldier and citizen, aged 75 years, passed peacefully away at his home on Greenwood street Wednes day morning, the death of the good man causing universal sorrow among the people of the community, al though it was not a surprise, for it had been known for some time that he could last only a short time long er. He had failed very fast during the past two or three years and some months ago it was realized that the inevitable end was fast approaching. The funeral service will be held at the First Methodist church today, Thursday, at 10 o’clock, Rev. H. L. Edmondson, the pastor, having charge of the services. Mr. Crowder moved to Barnesville in 1886 from Fayette county, where he was engaged in business and since, that time he has been a citizen and business man of this city. He was a good man and a valuable citizen, who was held in the highest esteem of all the people. He was a gallant Con federate veteran and always took a keen interest in the welfare of his comrades. He usually attended all the local meetings of veterans and greatly enjoyed them. He was a staunch member of the Methodist church and as long as he was able to attend was faithful in attendance and one of the church’s most loyal and interested members. He stood for the best things in civic life and on all moral questions he stood un flinchingly for the right. He leaves hosts of warm and true friends and he will be sadly missed throughout the community. He is survived by his wife, three sons, Messrs. George C. Crowder of Mil ner and W. H. and Theodore Crow der of Barnesville; three daughters, Mrs. O. W. Holland, Mrs. J. S. Tal ley of Barnesville, and Mrs. J. S. Bryan of Atlanta. The sympathy of the people of the entire community will go out to the bereaved members of the family in the sorrow which has come to them in this good man’s going away.

HALLOWE’EN PARTY On Saturday evening the Lanier Literary Society of the A. & M. School entertained the Grady Socie ty, the faculty and alumni at a Hal lowe’en party in the school audi torium. The decorations for the oc casion were very appropriate and contributed to the ghostly idea which prevailed throughout the entire even ing. The guests on arriving were ushered by ghosts through various dens and finally through the “death chamber.” Those who were fortu nate enough to get through it all were then led to the auditorium where there was much guessing as to the identity of the masked figures. Following the removal of the masks, many games suitable to the occasion were played. Fortune-telling and “visiting the spirit” were enjoyed for a while and later there were other games and several ghost stories. Punch was served from a cauldron by three witches.
