Barnesville News-Gazette. Volume 57 FAITH TAILORING to most men is a kind of “Black art.” They expect a certain magic effect from the wizard of the tape and shears but they know very little about how he obtains it. When they find that one word will bring forth a suit of clothes or overcoat with all the fine points they de mand: High quality fabric, perfect fit and finish, authentic style —they place their trust in it unquestingly. The makers of Griffon Clothes are very proud that in the minds of so many men the name has become an “Open Sesame” to good dress. L. A. COLLIER “All the New One* AH the Time” Barnesville, Ga.

BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1925 IMPRESSIVE CANDLE LIGHTING SERVICE Avery pretty and impressive Can dle Lighting Service was held at the First Baptist church Sunday evening at the regular service hour, 7:00. The first candle was lighted by the pastor, Dr. Arthur Jackson, who gave a short talk in which he explained that the first candle was to represent Jesus Christ, “The Light of the World.” He then lighted from the first candle several others which formed a cross, after which a vocal duet, “The Old Rugged Cross,” was beautifully rendered by Mr. and Mrs, W. A. Prout. , Immediately after the duet twelv? young ladies of the church entered, representing the twelve months. Each young lady was dressed in white and carried a small white can dle which she lighted from the first candle, the Light of the World. The song, “Jesus, the Light of the World,” was then sung by the young ladies, followed by the song, “Send the Light,” by the congregation. The congregation then formed a circle standing next to the walls of the church, each member of the con gregation holding a small candle which was lighted by one of the twelve young ladies. After a conse cration prayer the congregation re assembled and sang, “Let the Lower Lights Be Burning,” followed by the Benediction, “Lead Kindly Light,” by the choir and 12 young ladies. RECEIVED OIL CHECK It is great to own an oil well—we imagine—for a successful oil well means money and much of it. Mr. E. A. Peurifoy, of Worthen, Texas, who has relatives in this sec tion of Georgia, and some of them in Lamar county, is finding satisfac tion in the outcome of some wells on his place, and as a result the prom ise is that lie will probably be a rieh man. Mr. Peurifoy has three sisters,, one of whom is Mrs. A. J. Sappington, of Lamar county, and to each of these sisters he recently sent a check for SI,OOO, a magnificent remembrance. Mrs. Sappington shared her check liberally with the members of her family. EPWORTH LEAGUE’S SUNDAY PROGRAM 1. Song. 2. Scripture Lesson —Psalm 1; Ezek. 47:12, by Miss Wynelle Wheeless. 3.

SCHOOLS OPEN FOR THE SPRING TERM The opening of Bamesville’s two big educational institutions has brought renewed activity in the life of the community and the boys and girls and young men and young wo men are getting their bearings for a term of good, hard work and it is hoped the results may be all that could be desired on the part of the parents and the students. Prof. L. D. Watson, president of Gordon, is gratified that four new cadets have already entered for the new term and at least two more are expected within the coming week. Practically all the old boys and girls are already bftcli and ftrC ready for work. The students whb are to stay in the new dormitory are delighted with the quarters which they are to occupy and it is generally agreed that there is nothing more comfort able or attractive at any similar school in Georgia. Prof. Watson and the authorities are confident the dormitory will be filled to capacity with the beginning of the next fall term. Prof. T. O. Galloway, principal of the Sixth District A. & M. School, states that he has enrolled ten new students for this term which is very encouarigng to him and his faculty. The attendance, therefore, will be better for the spring term and all are expecting fine work and results throughout the term.

Prof. Connell comes highly recommended and he will be given a hearty welcome from the people of the city and community. MR. VAN HOUTON DIES Mr. J. M.
