BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 5. 1925 A SPLENDID PLAY The members of the Senior class of Gordon gave an exceptionally fine play at Gordon auditorium Friday evening last, it being one of the most interesting and one of the livest events of the kind witnessed here in a long time. The young people put plenty of spirit in it which kept the interest of the audience at high pitch at all times. They acted as if they meant business and this was the thing which created and held the sympathy and interest of the audience from be ginning until the curtain went down at the conclusion. It was a comedy in three acts, “Kicked Out of College,’’ and the proceeds of the play go for the bene fit of “Taps,’ ’the school annual. Those taking part were Cadets W. H. Mitchell, H. T. Browder, Emmett Waller, G. S. Wheeless, W. R. Tur ner, E. F. Mills, Julius Yarbrough, L. R. Whidby, R. E. Bridwell, C. K. Cooper, W. R. Swanson, J. T. Brook sher, J. T. Cook, M. W. Woodward and W'alter B. Smith, Jr., assisting with his guitar and Truman Lifsey with his banjo; Misses Doris Collier, Louise King, Eugenia Ilahr, Clifford Rigdon, Bitsie Fifield, Inez Rumble, Helen Giles, “Spec” Godwin and Ora McCarty. Mr. Smith Rumble also rendered several pieces on the Saxaphone, which were appreciated. Everybody was delighted with all features of the play. WANT MUSIC CLUBS ORGANIZED IN 6TH DIST. M rs. L. A. Collier, of Barnesville, director for the Sixth Congressional District, has received from Mrs. W. P. Bailey, of Savannah, president of the Georgia Federation of Music Clubs, a letter urging the organiza tion of a music club in every town and city in the district. That the matter may reach the women of the entire district, Mrs. Collier asks the publication of Mrs. Bailey’s letter, as follows: The Biennial at Portland is just four months off and if we want Georgia to rise from second place to first in club extension and win the three hundred dollars for our treas ury we must all get together and make a tremendous effort to reach the coveted goal. Your extension chairman, district junior chairman and president have been working strenuously since the last convention, but we still lack a sufficient number for victory, as we have succeeded in securing only twenty-three clubs to date. Loyal directors, won’t you make a supreme effort to organize at least two or three clubs in your district, either senior or junior, by June Ist? remembering that you will'be win ning a distinct honr, not only for our state, but every club organized will be a progressive link in the chain to make Georgia a great musical center and means improvement in every form —public school music, music in industry, in moving pic tures, in the homes and the people who come under its influence. Please make an appeal to every city in your district, no matter how small, for wherever there is an en thusiastic music lover and teacher you have the nucleus for a beginning. Do not be discouraged if you fail at first *but remember that persever ence with determination back of it always wins in the end. SPLENDIDLY EQUIPPED OFFICES IN STAFFORD BL’G Dr. C. H.

Ogden Persons presiding and the new solicitor, Col. Frank Willingham, looking after the interests of the state in all criminal matters. The grand jury was organized by the selection of Mr. J. S. Milner as foreman and Mr. J. T. Wooten as clerk, Mr. T. J. Hutchinson being se lected as bailiff. Judge Persons de livered a forceful charge to the jury in which he dwelt upon the duties and responsibilities of jurors, charg ing them with necessity for keeping secret what takes place in the jury room. He dealt at length with the enforcement of the prohibition law, showing the evil of the manufacture and sale of whisky, the source of so much of our criminal business. It was a strong charge, such as should deeply impress men who are called upon to discharge so important a duty. The- grand jury returned Monday a bill for murder against Mr. Kirby S. Goen, who has been in jail for sev eral months, for killing his brother, Mr. J .W. Goen. The case will like ly be called for trial next Monday, when the criminal docket will be taken up. Several civil cases have been dis posed of this week, one of the most important of which was the case of Mr. J. S. Littlejohn, for his son, Mr. Asbury Littlejohn, and for himself in the- loss of the services of his son, due to the automobile accident at Milner in 1922, the jury returning a verdict of $5,000.00 for the son and $1,000.00 for Mr. Littlejohn. There have been a number of other cases disposed of during the present term. SHERIFF ELLIOTT RETURNS HOME Sheriff Z. T. Elliott, who had been at a sanitarium in Atlanta for some weeks, returned home Monday after noon. Although he is yet weak from his recent operation he is rapidly re covering and expects soon to be fully recovered. Sheriff Elliott’s hosts of friends are rejoicing with him in his return and the prospect of an early and com plete recovery. PROHIBIT SKATING IN THE BUSINESS SECTION Mr. Editor: —Isn’t there an ordi nance on record in Barnesville pro hibiting children from skating in the business section? If there is not there should be one passed imme diately, as there is great danger of some child running in front of an au tomobile in the street and great dan ger of some pedestrian being run over by the children skating on the sidewalk. Let’s have skating stopped down town before we are sorry. CITIZEN. LAMAR COUNTY UNIT The Lamar County Educational Unit will meet Friday, March 13th, 2:15 P. M., at the library.
