CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY A hanpy occasion of the week was the celebration of Master Son Wat son’s fourth birthday anniversary on Tuesday afternoon, when he enter tained his little friends with games and later enjoying the cutting of his birthday cake and ice cream. Pink table decorations with pink candles and lovely little pink baskets filled with candies given as favors to the little folk completed an afternoon of happiness for the young host and his guests.

This play will be given for the benefit of “Taps,” the 1925 Annual. The public is invited not alone for the financial help to a Gordon enter prise, but that each person may en joy a genuinely good entertainment. 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 by Mrs. Howard Collier is a guaran tee of its high character and fine presentation. 50 cts for adults and 35 cts for 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. —Press Committee. GOOD THINGS TO EAT Home-made candy and cake will ! be sold Saturday at the City Drug Company.

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. A. 0. .MURPHEY. 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.
