BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1925 BLUES INSPECTED Beautiful Banquet Held At ,the A. * & M. School. The annual inspection of Com pany B, Barnesville Blues, was held in their armory Monday evening, which was largely attended and which was as usual an event of deep inter est to the citiezns of Barnesville and vicinity. The inspection was made by Cap tain Fall of the Florida National Guard and was thorough and proved to be highly gratifying to all the friends of the Blues and to the of ficers and members of the company. The inspection was held in the armory because of the inclement weather and if it could have taken place out of doors it would have per haps been more satisfactory. The inspector and the prominent military officials present from different cities in Georgia were much pleased by the showing made and were of course very complimentary to the company. They all agree that this is one of the crack companies of Georgia. A mat ter which received their commenda tion was the support which the peo ple here give to the company and its officers. Preceding the inspection a delight ful banquet was held in the dining hall of the Sixth District A. & M. School, where about two hundred guests were present, making it a scene which greatly pleased every one present. The menu provided by the school authorities was excellent and the service rendered by the la dies in charge, including the students of the school, was all that could be desired. During the banquet a number of interesting talks were made, which proved instructive and helpful. Rev. Arthur Jackson offered the opening prayer and Rev. Marvin A. Franklin pronounced the benediction as the concluding number. Among those making short talks were Col. .1. M. Kimbrough, senior instructor Nation al Guard of Georgia, Captain Fall, Col. J. A. Gallogly of Atlanta, Cap tain Farmer of Macon, Col. Curtis Barrett, Lieutenant Richard Coursey, Prof. L. D. Watson and Prof. T. O. Galloway. It was indeed a very pleasant occasion and apparently everybody enjoyed it greatly. Captain Graddick for himself as captain and for the company was given a Chautauqua salute, to which he responded with a few appropriate words of appreciation. Prof, and Mrs. T. O. Galloway and the members of the school faculty and student body who assisted in preparing and serving and making the banquet such a successful af fair were heartily thanked for the courtesies they extended the com pany.

Maness, of the State Entomological department, spoke in the court room last Thursday, telling of the work of the department in supplying calcium arsenate to the farmers of the state. He stated that the prospects were that the boll weevil would do great damage this year and that farmers must prepare to make a vigorous fight against them if cotton is to be made. The entomological department can fur nish arsenate to farmers in car lota at 8 cents and in less quantities at about cents under the plans which they had perfected. They will be glad to give anyone interested complete information about the mat ter. THE HOG SALE The hog sale Monday was exceed ingly satisfactory except as to the quantity brought in and offered for sale. The hogs sold amounted to only 8,000 pounds, whereas it was hoped it would be at least twice that amount. Mr. W. R. Baird worked up the sale and made all arrangements for it. Mr. W. T. Bennett of Griffin, county agent for Spalding, rendered valuable assistance, which was much appreciated. The lot of hogs was sold at 11.60, a very satisfactory price, really more than was expected. Mr. Baird now wants to got up a car of chickens and those who have chickens to offer should list them with him at once, so that he will know whether it will be possible to secure a car lot. In car lots the price will probably be much better than could be secured otherwise. Mr. Baird would like to get a car of chickens for shipment in about two weeks.
