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.
