CAPTAIN BENNETT
HURT IN FALf
•
Captain A. O. Bennett had a fall
from the back steps at the home of
Dr. J. M. Anderson last Saturday
night, during which he and a coal
scuttle battered each other in going
down, Captain Bennett sustaining
injuries which at least were the more
painful, as he was considerably
bruised about the head, shoulders
and arms. His friends are glad that
his injuries are not more serious but
they regret the misfortune which be
fell him in his fall.

REPORT OF THE
W. C. T. U. CONVENTION
The W. C. T. U. Convention at
Douglasville was a great success. I
shall tell you of the part outside the
programs.
The spirit of the convention cam;*
over us as soon as we left Atlanta.
We were met by a large delegation
of town people in Douglasville and
assigned to our homos. The Barnes
ville delegates were sent to the two
hotels.
On our way to the Baptist church
where the meetings wt-re held we
found“ Welcome" everywhere. Two
large banners were suspended over
the streets and “Welcome W. C. T.
U.” posters were in almost every
window. Some of the show windows
were more elaborately decorated.
In one was an empty bottle with
white ribbon tied around Iho neck,
and a little boy with a white ribbon
on, driving the water wagon. A pos
ter said “I’m on the water wagon
this week.” In another window was
a little boy in overalls with a white
nbbon and a little girl dressed in
white, as Miss Douglasville, with a
Temperance banner across her hat.
Another window was decorated
with baskets of white chrysanthe
mums tied with white ribbon. I here
were ‘‘Welcome W. C. T. U.” posters
in white and gold.
In another window was a white
casket full of bottles, jugs and flasks
ready for burial, “Gone but not for
gotten." The old torn-up hat, um
brella, shoes and pistol were left be
hind.
A row of filled bottles with the
posters “1 was licker but now' I’m
lasses” made an attractive window'.
A warm welcome awaited us every
night in a great big imitation log fire
burning in one of the windows in
front of a “Welcome” poster.
We were served luncheon in the
court house, different organizations
serving each day. Wednesday the
Baptist women served. The halls
decorated in white streamers, ferns
and baskets of white flowers. The
officers’ table was just in front of
the main entrance. The Bapnesville
delegates sat to their left. The menu
wap chicken salad and lettuce, crack
er®, piemento cheese and pineapple
sandwiches, pickles, hot coffee and
cake.
Wednesday night was Douglasville
night. There wore addresses of
greeting by the mayor, the preachers,
the school superintendent, from the
Woman’s clubs, thu L. T. L.’s, the
Missionary societies and the local \V.
C. T. U.
Luncheon was served on Thursday
by the men. They served barbecue,
bread and Brunswick stew, pickles
and hot coffee.
The Methodist ladies served on
Friday, pressed chicken, pickle, {Me
mento cheese and banna sandwiches
and hot coffee.
We had a lovely ride through the
county on Thursday afternoon. We
went to Lithia Springs to see where
•.he lithia water is bottled to be sent
out over the state. The drug stores
served us cream before we left town.
Several of the merchants had sou
venirs for the delegates. There were
little mirrors with white bows on
them and boxes of Colgate’s dental
and cold cream. The people placed
their cars at our disposal all the
time.
There was n<)t a thing left undone
on the part of the Douglasville peo
ple that might have made the con
vention more enjoyable.
The next convention will be held
in Sandersville. Invitations by tele
grams came from the Mayor, Board
of Trade, Missionary Societies,
Lodges and all Civic, organizations.
We are sure Barnesville will be ready
when its time conies and will do
equally as much or more than these
two towns.

INVITED TO BARBECUE
Mayor W. T. Summers received a
telegram Tuesday from the citizens
of Macon and Houston counties, in
viting him and the citizens of Barnes
ville and Lamar county to a big bar
becue at Marshallville Friday, cele
brating the defeat of Peach county
in the recent election.
The interest and sympathy of the
citizens here were generally with the
Peach county people on that issue,
but if they should go to Marshallville
to this barbecue they will evidently
be given a cordial reception and a
good time.

STOP! LOOK! LISTEN!
FOR THE RED CROSS, SATUR
DAY, NOVEMBER 25.
STOP in your rush for material
prosperity and
LOOK with compassion on unfortu
nate humanity that relentless
fate puts down and out and
you will
LISTEN with a quickened conscience
to the annual roll call of the
Red Cross that works for the
good of the brotherhood of
man.
Pence is the severest test on pa
triotism and war its greatest stimu
lant. Don’t let your patriotism die
a peaceful death while the World
War veterans, the Red Cross and Old
Glory be with us yet. The member
ship drive of the Red rross is noth
ing more than the roll call to duty
lest we forget. Cicero says and
proves ingratitude is a crime; may
the roll call find us net guilty.
At a meeting of the committee
Monday afternoon plans were made
to put on the ‘Membership Drive Sat
urday, November 25, the allotted
time throughout the nation being
from the 11th to the 30th. Two
booths will be arranged in the busi
ness section of the city for the con
venience of busy people whose time
is money. Girls, during
fivo drive, will call at the homes of
the people who know the joy of ser
vice and the obligations of gratitude.
The city will be thoroughly can
vassed.
The presidents and co-workers of
the Woman’s clubs of Lamar county
will be asked to put the drive over
in the rural districts. The work is
very much in harmony with the ideals
of clubs and the success of such a
worthy undertaking will give pres
tige to reports sent in to the annual
convention of the State Federation
besides doing good that is above and
beyond calculation.
The annual membership fee is
SI.OO. Fifty cents of that amount
is sent to headquarters to be used
for broader, purposes and fifty cents
goes into the local treasury to be
used at home. The greatest good
Red Cross funds can do Barnesville
and Lamar county just now is to es
tablish a nurse who will serve with
the same impartial faithfulness with
which our county demonstration
agent does her varied duties. With
these two incentives to higher living
not even boastful Atlanta would
have anything on us when it comes
to the pursuit of health and happi
ness and the things worth while.
Last year the chapter contemplated
employing a nurse but the funds
available were not sufficient. It is
a settled fact if the drive is a sue
cess this year. Insurance companies
recommend the proposition as the
better part of wisdom and would
probably contribute liberally to the
fund as a means of self protection.
No one in his right mind will talk
against the Red Cross unless he loves
a dollar better than he loves humani
ty, which would prove his heart is
also badly involved. One of the
chief attractions of the Red Cross
drive is the satisfaction that there
is nothing cheap in being a small
contributor to a great cause.

FINE ARMISTICE DAY
People of Barncaville Did Not Forget
World War Victory Saturday.
The anniversary of Armistice Day,
November 11, 1918, was appropriate
ly celebrated last Saturday in Barnes
ville, the entire program being car
ried out in a way that reflected
credit on those in charge of it and
that was pleasing to the ex
service men present who participated
in the day’s exercises.
The entire occasion .was sponsored
by the Barnesville Woman’s Chris
tian Temperance Union under the
leadership of Mrs. C. H. Morris,
president.
In the program at Gordon audi
torium there was the kenest interest
not only by the soldier boys but by
the public as well, the audience be
ing composed of ex-service men and
student bodies of Gordon and the A.
& M. School, with quite a number of
men and women of the community.
Following the singing of America
I.'ev. Arthur Jackson invoked Divine
blessings on the celebration of the
event, which was followed by another
beautiful song by the members of
the senior and junior Three Arts
club.
Prof. Joseph D. Smith presided
and made appropriate remarks in an
nouncing the different numbers of
the program.
Senator William J. Harris made
the principal talk of the day and
made a most inspiring and helpful
talk. In talking of the evil of war
he told of another war, that which
the W\ C. T. U. had for many years
waged against whisky, and so inter
ested was he that he polled the
young men present who would agree
not to drink whisky at all until they
reached twenty-one, scores of hands
going up as witnesses of the pledge.
It was an impressive incident of the
occasion and was worth the cost in
effort and money of the whole day’s
program. Senator Harris discussed
numerous questions of national and
international moment, stating that
he favored arbitration for the settle
ment of differences between nations
as well as between individuals, this
being construed as an endorsement
of the League of Nations plan. Sen
ator Harris’ address was interesting
and helpful.

. THE BARBECUE DINNER
One of the very enjoyable fea
tures of the day was the barbecue
dinner which was served to all the
ex-service men of Lamar county at
the Gordon Dormitories. The din
ner and the manner in which it was
.served afforded much pleasure to
everyone present. It was a most
delightful affair, the menu being
specially pleasing to the soldier boys
and those who were pei'mitted to par
take of it with them .
During the progress of the dinner
several excellent talks were made,
Dr. E. T. Holmes being in charge of
the program. Among those who
were on the program were Prof. J.
D. Smith, Mrs. A. M. Lambdin, Mrs.
J. -F. Neely, Mrs. J. W. Reeves, Mrs.
H. R. Chesnutt, Col. Curtis Barrett
responding for the soldier boys, of
whom there were probably fifty pres
ent.
It was a splendid day from begin
ning to end and everybody was high
ly gratified with its success.

A Timely Suggettion.
This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife
replenshies her supply of Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy. It is almost
certain to be needed before the win
ter is over and results are much more
prompt and satisfactory when it is
kept at hand and given as soon as
the first indication of a cold appears
and before it has become settled in
the system. There is no danger in
giving it to children as it' contains
no opium or other harmful drug.
