T. jVlcAr thur and Mr. J. M. D. McGregor, both of Ailey. This is quite an honor to these men and to Mont gomery county, since the Fif teenth District represents a total of twenty-five counties. The counties in this district are pling, Bacon, Brantley, Bryan, Camden Candler, Charlton, Chat ham, Effingham, Emanuel, Ev ans, Glynn, Jeff Davis, Johnson, Liberty, Long, Mclntosh, Mont gomery, Pierce, Tattnall, Toombs, Treutlen, Ware, Wayne and Wheeler. Several weeks ago each mem-! ber was sent a blank card on which he was asked to place the name of a desirable person. La ter the organization committee held a meeting and after consid ering the number of votes lor each man and looking into his general standing, selected two men from each district as nomi nees, one of which will later be elected by association members of the respective districts. The ballots for this purpose have al ready been sent out to the mem bers and must be returned to headauarters on or before Satur day, April 29, on which day the districts’ directors will be defin itely announced. for Increasing Dairy Industry in Laurens Dublin, Ga., April 23. —An in tensive campaign for increasing the dairy industry in Laurens county is now being pushed by the Chamber of Commerce, aided by all classes of business. Two banks in the city, the First National and the Southern Ex change, the only banks in Dub lin, have notified 4he farmers! they will aid them in purchasing the very highest grade of milk cows at cost, and are ready to extend this help to any farmer who wants to get into the dairy business. A movie program emphasizing dairying, with some strong pic tures on its program, is being given at some school house, church or smalltown in the coun ty every night now, in connec tion. with the county health com missioner, Dr. O. A. Cheek, who is adding some health films to the program also. April 28, H. S. Mobley, dairy expert with the farm bureau of the I. H. C., is to make an ad dress to the farmers of Laurens county at Dublin on the subject of dairying. The local creamery is advertising for cream and everything is asking for more milk and more butter.

Ihe event was prompted by Mr. M. A. Mc- Queen of Savannah. After the several members gathered at the river, and after spending a short and pleasant time relating remembrances, a nrjost enjoyable lunch was spread. Those who attended were Mr. and Mrs. M. A. McQueen of Sav annah, Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Smith of Vidalia. Mrs. F. C. Higgs and daughter, Miss Bessie Higgs, of Mt. Vernon, Mrs. i C. L. Allmond, Mrs. J.

(Macon 1 Telegraph Bureau) Governor; Hardwick today broke good news for the Confederate pensioners of the State. After a conference, with the treasury officials, and a recapitulation of statistics, the Governor announced that ar rangements have been made to send out checks for the first half ;of the 1922 pension list on Me j morial Day. Commissioner J. W. Lindsey today began work on that list and, while the checks possibly will not reach all the: ordinaries in the State by April 26, they will be in the hands of the larger number of them on that day. An equally gratifying an nouncement which came from the Governor’s office is that the pay ment will be made regardless of the $321,000 which is to be turned into the State treasury so soon as the remittitur can come from the United States Supreme Court in Washington in the oil inspection case, that court’s decision sus taining the State law, releasing the fund which has been accumu lated in trust for more than a 1 year. The receipt, therefore, of; that money will make a fund available for other purposes, and *it is the Governor’s purpose to immediately apply it to repay ment of the $500,000 short loan which the State is carrying, and which the Governor negotiated with the understanding that he ; could take it up at any time, al though the loan was made at a remarkably low rate of interest. Sophomore Class is Delightfully Entertained. On Monday evening, April 24, the Sophomore class was very de lightfully entertained by Misses Ruby and Frances Rackley at the home of Dr. and Mrs. E. M. Rackley. The house was beautifully deco rated with roses. The games of ( “w!nk” and “selling the thirri- \ ble” and “proms” were enjoyed by all. During the evening delicious cream and cake was served by Misses Ruby and Lessie Mae Rackley and Mr. Johnnie McNatt. After every one had tired of the games, music was furnished by Misses Goldie Mcßae, Geneva and Nellie Long, which was en joyed by all. Those present were, Misses Lessie Mae. Ruby, Frances and Clyde Rackley, Goldie Mcßae, Sara Morrison, Jane E. Johnson, Adelaide Martin, Ruth Conn, Janie Mae McQueen, Zelma Downs, Nellie Long, Geneva Long, Elise Fountain. Messrs.

Dudley, coach j of the Brewton-Parker baseball; team, officially protested the i game played between S. G. C. ' and 8.-P. I. on April 21 in which 1 the two teams battled for eleven 1 innings with the score tied. It was at this time that the final move was made. S G.

MEMORIAL DAY j OBSERVED HERE. *j '' ' Fitting Program Carried Out at the Cemetery on Yesterday. I A very striking observance of Memorial Day was held hereunder the auspices of the local post of the American Legion. The mem bers of this organization formed in front of the court house and jin military formation marched over to the town cemetery, where i lies several noble sons of our be loved Sou hland, who, back in ! the Sixties, fought for a lost, but j just, cause; and where also lies i two sons of the late World War, j Judson Carlton Geiger.and Harold I Clifford Geiger, who gave their all towards shattering the des perate onslaughts of the brutal enemy. After inarching to the cemetery a very touching pro gram was rendered. The ceremonies were opened with prayer by Prof. L. S. Bar rett. Following, in a well pre j pared and well delivered address, Mr. Ben I. Segall paid a glow i ing tribute to the deceased vet- I erans of the World War. Prof, j Barret, in an able address, fur i thered the tribute by including 1 the Confederates. Wreaths of ! beautiful flowers were then i placed upon the graves of the renowned heroes by members of the legion and students of the local grammar school. The legionaries resumed formation and as a final tribute fired the appropriate number of volleys, , and sounded taps. This com j pleted a program which brought remembrances to the hearts of several who can recall the strug gle and strife of the Sixties, and carried the thoughts of every one back to the dark days of but few years ago, when it» seemed as though our own native soil would be invaded. May these native heroes always be rewarded the I memories which they so right ' fully deserve, and may the same I spirit which prompted them to l stake their lives in defense of our beloved Southland and United States forever prevail. Record Bond Sale Made in Cairo School District. Cairo, Ga., April 2(5. — A new high record for bond sales in this section of the country was es tablished here yesterday when $(50,000 in Cairo school district bonds were sold to the Trust Company of Georgia, of Atlanta, at the equivalent of 106. The premium amounted to $3,625, I with all accrued interest, and i with a provision that the Trust I Company pay for the printing of ! the bonds. Bidding for the bonds was un usually spirited, there being a number of bidders here in per son. The sealed bids were all rejected and the trustees then called in the bidders and auctiori ied the bonds. The price paid is much higher than has been re corded in this section during re cent months, though several is sues have brought as high as 102. The issue was authorized here a few weeks ago by a 32 to one majority. The trustees this af ternoon accepted a plan for the building and construction work will be begun as early as possible.
