BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1925
NOTICE TO UMAR FARMERS
Very Important Meeting for Wednesday, February
11th, 2:00 O’clock P. M.
Every fanner of Lamar county, particularly those liv
ing near Barnesville, is invited to attend a meeting in the
City Hall in Barnesville, Wednesday next, February 11th,
at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, to meet Mr. Walter L.
Graefe, vice president and manager of the Pomona Pro
ducts Company of Griffin. This company wants to con
tract for 400 acres of pepper contracts in Lamar county
and the meeting is for the purpose of discussing all phases
of the proposition and to make contracts for the growing
of the pepper.
As we understand the situation Mr. Graefe proposes to
contract to put in Barnesville a receiving shed and a grad
ing machine and receive and pay for all peppers in
Barnesville. He further states that the contract will
agree on the part of the Pomona Products Cos. to pay for
all seconds and all culls this year, and that he has 400
acres only for this county, and wants to make all con
tracts at this meeting as the pepper beds should be plant
ed between February 20th and March Ist.
He also wants to meet and contract with all farmers
who will grow sweet potatoes this year. He agrees to
take all jumbo and cut potatoes rejected or culled from
number one potatoes and pay for these on delivery in
Barnesville.
This is an exceedingly important meeting for the fann
ers adjacent to Barnesville and every farmer interested
should by all means be present and ready to sign up for
such acreage as he thinks he should plant, both in pep
pers and sweet potatoes. It is a wonderful opportunity
and should be readily accepted as offering money making
crops in addition to cotton and other products. It is well
known that pepper growing is profitable, when handled
under the conditions which the plans above offer and a
reasonable acreage should be planted by all our farmers
for 1925.
All the farmers at all interested are urgently requested
to be at the meetipg next Wednesday.
FINE CIVITAN MEETING
The Civitan Club had a fine meet
ing Thursday evening last week at
the club house, the ladies serving a
delightful luncheon and there being
almost a full attendance of club
members. Everybody present ex
pressed themselves as thoroughly en
joying the entire evening. Joe
Adams was the new member attend
ing for the first time and he said he
got his money’s worth from this one
meeting. Two beautiful musical
numbers were rendered by Mrs. H.
E. Armstrong and Mrs. Sam Porch,
in addition to several numbers of the
orchestra, composed of Miss Eliza
beth Eley, Walter B. Smith, Jr., and
Truman Lifsey.
A number of important questions
of public interest received consid
eration and fun abounded throughout
the evening’s program.
GOOD MAN GOES TO
HEAVENLY REWARD
The people of Barnesville and com
munity were greatly saddened Sat
urday morning last when it became
known that Rev. W. P. Miller was
dead, life of the good man having
passed away late Friday afternoon,
after one week’s illness, the cause of
his death being pleuro-pneumonta.
The Saturday before he went home
and was taken with a severe chill and
from the first it appeared that he felt
that the time had come for him to
leave this world for his home in
heaven. It was known that he was
seriously ill but few of his friends
realized that he was so desperately
sick and the announcement of his
death was a shock to nearly every
body in the community.
The funeral was held in the First
Methodist church Saturday afternoon
at 2 o'clock and was largely attend
ed. Rev. Marvin A. Franklin, pas
tor of the church, conducted the ser
vice, paying a beautiful tribute to
the consecrated Christian life of the
good man, Rev, Arthur Jackson and
Rev. Mr. Crow participating in the
service.
Many lovely floral offerings evi
denced the love in which he was held
among the people of the community.
FUG SYSTEM TO BE
INSTALLED HERE SOON
Under the direction of the Willie
Hunt Smith chapter of the Daughters
of the Confederacy the business sec
tion of Barnesville will soon have in
stalled the flag system which will in
all probability make a fine impres
sion. The plan is for as many busi
ness houses as will go into the plan
to have metal receptacles placed on
the sidewalks in which on occasions
flag staffs will be placed from which
will float Old Glory or other flags
which may be available. This will
afford a uniform flag system, which
is certain to be very attractive and
impressive. It is expected that flags
will be displayed in this way from
time to time on special occasions.
The business men of the city have
pretty liberally gone into the move
ment and there will be many flags
displayed in this manner at some
early date.
o
Jamaica has plenty of them, and
shipped 12,500,000 bunches of ba
nanas within the last year.
The body was carried to the ceme
tery in Milner for interrment.
Brother Miller was 67 years old
and was a man in whom everybody
had the utmost confidence and for
whom the very highest respect was
entertained and manifested. Re
stood for the highest and best in
every sphere of life and yet he was
so considerate of everybody that he
was universally loved. He was a lay
preacher, and at one time was an ac
tive member of the North Georgia
conference. He loved his church,
the Methodist church, but he loved
and attended other churches, and led
an humble Christian life, exerting a
strong influence for good. He want
ed to see the right prevail every
where and was ever ready to do what
he could to advance every good
cause.
All unite in saying a good man has
gone to his heavenly reward.
He is survived by his wife, one
daughter, Miss Genie Miller, three
sons, Messrs. J. R. Miller, Prentice
Miller and Emmette Miller, to all of
whom deep sympathy is extended in
their great sorrow.
