Pink table decorations with pink
candles and lovely little pink baskets

This play will be given for the

The play is full of funny situations.
The characters are well taken and
each actor lives his part.
To say that the play is directed

tee of its high character and fine
presentation.

children will admit you to a show
that will make you laugh and forget
your daily disappointments.
MEETING OF CIRCLE THREE
•
Circle 3 met at the home of the
chairman, Mrs. Emmett Coleman, on
Monday afternoon. Considering the
weather quite a number was present.
Mrs. Griffith, the mother of our
Mrs. Jack Bush, gave the devotional
in a most impressive and wonderful
way, showing the depth of study she
had given to the lesson.
The subject for the afternoon was
China, the mission work from its in
fancy up to present day. All the
papers and talks on the subject were
interesting and instructive.
Plans for active work were made
and committees appointed by the
chairman, all indicating that she was
active and deeply interested.
Cooperation is the key note of our
work and everyone present was fully
alive and willing to do her part.
Mrs. Coleman served delicious re
freshments and we all enjoyed the
afternoon greatly.

A GREAT EVENT IN
THE HISTORY OF THE
METHODIST CHURCH
One of the most pleasant, satisfy
ing and delightful occasions I have
ever attended was the dinner spon
sored and prepared by the good wo
men of the Woman’s Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist church, last
Friday evening, for the men of the
church. It was a happy idea of the
pastor in suggesting and planning
this dinner for the purpose of bring
ing the men of the church in closer
touch with one another, thereby ere- j
ating more enthusiasm in church
work; and I think his most sanguine i
expectations were fully realized, for
if there was one feature more promi
nent than another on this occasion
it was that the spirit of fellow feel
ing and brotherly love seemed to fill
every heart to overflowing.
A four course dinner was served
by the good women of the church in
one of the spacious rooms of the A.
& M. School, and to say that all the
appointments were perfect does not
do justice to either the decorations
or the service, but suffice it to say
that they were fully 140 to the high
standard set by Barnesville women.
The pastor, Rev. Marvin Franklin,
as presiding officer, outlined the pur
pose of the dinner, and his earnest,
pleasing address met a hearty and
enthusiastic response from his hear
ers. Appropriate and enthusiastic
talks were made by Mr. Joe D. Smith,
leading layman, Rev. L. W. Browder,
pastor of the Barnesville circuit;
Rev. G. T. Pittman, pastor of the
Aldora church, and Prof. T. O. Gal
loway, principal of the A. & M.
School. Then the occasion was con
verted into an old fashion experience
meeting, and the voluntary talks from
quite a number of those present re
flected the same spirit which had pre
vailed the entire evening—a heart to
heart communion which must of nec
essity not only bear fruit, but stamp
the occasion as a glorious hour in the
history of the church and community.
We need such functions as this,
for they are constructive and make
life worth living. We need to feel
for and know our fellows that we
may be more charitable one to an
other. No man can live to himself,
and social intercourse is as necessary
to salvation thru the church as it has
been found necessary in every other
line of human activity. Men are too
prone to let business interests ab
sorb them soul and body, and
Barnesville is to be congratulated in
having with us pastors who are lead
ing along this high plane of human
fellowship as a means of creating a
higher standard of living.

REDBONE WOMAN’S CLUB
One of the most delightful events
of the week was the “spend-the-day
quilting party” of the Redbone Wo
man’s club at the lovely country
home of Mrs. Fred Bush. Beautiful
spring flowers were used effectively
as decorations throughout the house.
The members assembled and spent
the morning quilting the two quilts
which had been made at a previous
meeting. At the noon hour a lovely
luncheon, which had been prepared
by the members, was served in the
spacious dining room.
A social hour was then enjoyed,
after which tile monthly meeting was
held. The president, Mrs. Mel Bush,
presided during the business session,
a number of interesting announce
ments, reports and discussions were
heard. Frank L. Stanton’s birthday
was celebrated i fi a most fitting man
ner.
The following program was ren
dered :
