EDITORIAL NOTES.
The recent rains were the heaviest
throughout Georgia know'n in many
years, the high waters breaking the
records. There has been some loss
of life and much damage to property.
The traveling public has been put to
much inconvenience, as there has
been great damage to roads and
bridges. Lamar county has sustained
considerable loss in bridges, a num
ber of them being washed away and
quite a number washed up and other
wise damaged. It will take probably
two weeks to repair and replace the
bridges of the county.
When these bad, disagreeable
seasons come it is sometimes hard to
exercise the proper patience but of
course it is useless and absurd to
complain and become despondent
over the things which we can not
help. We should cultivate patience
and other good qualities and try hard
to make the best of bad situations.
—o—
If everybody would live as eco
nomically and work as hard as people
did twenty years ago in two years all
our old debts would be paid and we
would have plenty of money in the
hank to meet every reasonable need.
The trouble is few of us are willing
to do what we know ought to be
done und what must be done if pros
perity becomes as general as it ought
to be for the good of the country.
However, each one can do that very
thing for himself and to that extent
the country will be profited. Let’s
do it and do it this year—starting
right now.
Right on this line, we believe one
of the very worst phases of our pres
ent day life is the latitude given the
young in the spending of money for
the things they want and perhaps
think they need. They buy more
fine clothes, furnish themselves with
more unnecessary things, have more
opportunities for pleasures, many of
them harmful in themselves and
worse in their association and ten
dency, waste more of their time in
going and frolicking and squander
more money before they reach ma
turity than their parents have in all
their lives and yet many of these
young people will kick when asked to
he even reasonable in their demands
or when kindly asked to do a little
work or render a little unselfish ser
vice. Many of them do not know
what it is to be denied anything they
ask or demand, as youth now seems
to command and the old to obey.
Will this method be for the good or
the evil of the future? We can only
hope that there will be a sufficient
number of sane young people to
grow up during these times to save
the situation. .
One year in the western wheat
section resulted in tremendous pros
perity and the same kind of a year
in the cotton section will do the same
thing for the cotton farmer. Let us
work with the hope that this will be
the year for the cotton growers of
the south, including all those in
Georgia.
Every man who keeps up his faith
and grit and who will stick to his
task with dogged determination will
come out all right, at least nine times
out of ten this will be true. There
may be exceptional instances but be
yond all doubt this general rule will
apply. Therefore, whatever your
present situation go down under your
task to win and you will win.
22.000 people were killed on the
highways of the United States last
year an<| nearly 700,000 were more
Or less injured. That shows what
the automobile is doing to injure our
people and what it is costing the
country in addition to the outlay for
the machine and cost of running it.
Is there nothing thnt can be done to
protect the people against them
selves? Just think of the lives that
are being cut off every year by
whisky and the automobile. It is
something fearful.
REMOVAL NOTICE
I wish to announce that I am now
located in one of the new store
rooms recently completed by Mr. W.

to come in and inspect my new place.

FINE PICTURES COMING
The Mildred Theatre will present
to its natrons Thursday and Friday
this week the great picture, "Ameri
ca,” and Thursday and Friday of
next week. "Robin Hood,” two pic
tures which will interest, entertain
and instruct everybody who sees
them. These are Griffith produc
tions, which is sufficient endorsement
of them to show that their presenta
tion at The Mildred will afford rare
opportunities to all who like fine pic
tures.
Mr. McCarty has fixed the prices
on a very reasonable basis, which
should be appreciated, and will
doubtless be taken advantage of by
hundreds throughout the city and
county.
Remember the dates and pictures
and be ready to greatly enjoy your
self. The page advertisement in the
News-Gazette gives announcement of
dates at Barnesville and Forsyth, so
be careful not to get the dates con
fused.
CITY COURT NEXT MONDAY
Judge J. F. Redding, because of
the inclement weather, adjourned the
regular term of the City Court of
Barnesville, which was to begin Mon
day last, until next Monday and it is
expected that all parties interested
in the court will be present next
Monday. The court will probably
run two or three days then.

GOOD WOMAN DIES
Mrs. Sarah S. Jordan, the widow
of the late James N. Jordan, died
Tuesday at her home on Greenwood
street, having suffered a stroke of
paralysis about one week ago, from
which she was unable to rally suffi
ciently to recover.
Mrs. Jordan had been in bad health
for the past, several years but had
kept un most of the time. She was
75 years old and was one of the
most respected and beloved women
of the city.
The funeral was held Wednesday
morning and was conducted by Rev.
W. W. Childs, she being a devoted
member of the Primitive Baptist
church. We hope to have a more
extended tribute to her life in a later
issue of the News-Gazette.
PROGRAM- THE MILDRED
The following program will be
given at The Mildred, Barnesville,
for the week beginning Monday, Jan
uary 26th:
Monday and Tuesday—“ Critical
Age,” and Comedy.

Aldora Tabernacle
(Methodiit)
“The Church with the Cross and
the growing crowd.”
GUY T. PITTMAN, Pastor.
In spite of last Sunday’s rain our
congregations were large both morn
ing and evening, this we appreciate
very much for it shows a spirit of
co-operation and enthusiasm. We
are expecting a great crowd next
Sunday and shall be sadly disappoint
ed if you do not come.
Prayer Meeting
We are finding the study of the
book of the Acts of the Apostles very
helpful, and you are missing some
thing if you do not attend. The
Prayer Meeting is the spiritual life
of the church, most the other services
will run themselves, but it takes re
ligious enthusiasm to keep the prayer
meeting going. You show your
spiritual standing largely by the way
you attend prayer meeting and take
part.
Sunday School
H. C. Dumas Supt.
Let’s make our Sunday School the
best in our section of the country,
it is already one of the best. “Come
and see." Next Sunday we hope to
have Judge Lester to address the
Bible class.
Preaching Services
Both these services are to be con
ducted by the Pastor.
11:00 A. M.—Subject, “Missions.”
7:00 P. M.—A Story Sermon.
It's no trouble to find the way,
JUST FALL IN WITH the CROWD.
Epworth League
These services are very helpful to
the young, of course all are invited.
Who was there last time? Well, if
you had been there you would have
known.
“YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME
AT THE TABERACLE.”
BUYING NEW MULES
Mr. W. R. Baird, local representa
tive of the F. S. Hall & Cos., big
mule firm, of Atlanta, with offices
in Barnesville, went to Atlanta a few
days ago, accompanied by Mr. H. L.
Smith, manager of the Sugar Hill
F’arm. and Mr. J. M. Zellner and Mr.
Smith of Brent, each of whom bought
some of the fine mules sold by Hall
& Cos., for use on their farms and all
express themselves as being well
pleased with their purchases.
Anybody needing new mules should
see F. S. Hall & Cos., or their rep
resentatives, at their Barnesville sta
bles, the old Mitchell stables.
U. D. C. MEETING
On January 14th a most enthu
siastic meeting of the Willie Hunt
Smith chapter of U, D. C. was held
at the club house. In addition to
the business of the regular monthly
meeting the day had been set apart
for joint memorials to the Confed
erate heroes, Jackson and Lee. The
attendance was good, with eight new
members, which brings the total up to
eighty names on the roll. The chap
ter now has the largest enrollment
in its history.
The Barnesville chapter was or
ganized March 27, 1896. Not only
was it one of the first in Georgia, but
it is number 49 in the general organ
ization in the United States.
Our women have always been loyal
to the history of the South.
During the past year the follow
ing contributions have been made by
the chapter:
Gordon Dormitory Fund, SIOO.OO.
First payment to Founder Roll of
Stone Mountain in honor of Barnes
ville Blues, $200.00.
Contributions to Georgia Room at
Richmond and to Matthew F. Manry

CHAPPEL NEWS
The New Year opened up with
many resolutions for improvements
and advancements on many lines.
Joe English has resolved not to
plow cotton or com while the dew
was on it—he says the farm papers
and County Demonstrators say it is
injurious to the crops, also injurious
to the work growing crops between
eleven and two o’clock in day time
and on Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Rufus Ball has moved to the
Conner Tabernacle after making a
great improvement in the place and
resolved to give his wife anew dress
for Easter and Thanksgiving in No
vember.
J. H. Norris and A. J. English have
resolved to attend church three times
during the year 1925, provided they
know there is no collection to be
taken up.
A. H. Chappel resolved that when
he goes to the Legislature he will
pass a law that the wife shall do
equal work in making a crop and he
to have full control of selling and
spending the same.
We all know how New Year resolu
tions are generally kept.
We have had several days of rain.
Buck creek here has been fuller than
for several years and no crossing the
bridge here for three days on ac
count of high water.
D. A. English has only six in
school at present. Think he can
send balance in a few days.
We are glad to note that H. A.
Corley of Milner has come to take
charge of Chappel’s Mill and shop.
We know he will make the best self
rising meal the mill is capable of
making.
Mr. Quinlan Corley of Milner has
charge of the farm and says cotton
and corn grows better to work them
before sun up and after sun down.
Rev. J. W. Morris did not have
service at Rock Springs church Sun
day on account of bad weather.
The school opened up with good
attendance and good teachers.
We are sorry to note that Judge
J. W. Godard is on our sick list.
Hope for him to be up in a few days.
Mr. J. F. Gardner has moved into
his new home. He will have one of
the nicest homes in the settlement
when completed, with all the modem
improvements which he expects to
have soon.
Mrs. A. H. Chappel was given a
radio for a Christmas present by her
son, Fred, of Dallas, Texas. She is
enjoying the news of the world in
the home by listening in.
We are very sorry to note Mr. T.
M. Mann, who has been confined to
his bed for several days, is not any
better at this writing.
