A Word to Corresponde nts
The Progress has one of the
livest and best corps of corre
spondents in the state, and we
are proud of them. New ones
are being added all the time, and
we accordingly find it best to
publish from time 1 to time sug
gestions that will be of value to
the paper.
We especially desire to give
the news of births, deaths and
marriages in every community in
the county.
We want to give the news of
ahy new industries, and also of
new buildings.
We want the items when any
one goes to another community
on a visit, or comes from a dis
tance to visit in your neighbor
hood. And if you say John Smith
is visiting some one, say where
he is from.
We do NOT want mention of
one neighbor visiting another,
and if such an item gets in the
paper it is because it is accident
ly overlooked.
Cut put the sweetheart buggy
riding stuff. It might give some
body away, you know, —and be
sides, we don’t want it.
We will be glad to get all let
ters in our hands as far as pos
sible on Monday or Tuesday
morning, and then if anything of
importance occurs, send the item
in a second letter.
We thank our correspondents
for their good work, which we
are sure is appreciated by their
respective . communities, and
trust that they will adopt the
suggestions outlined above,
Odd Fellows Celebration
Honoring Georgia Officers
At the meeting of the Sover
eign Grand Lodge of Odd Fel
lows held last month in Atlantic
City, N, J., three Georgia men
were honored with high offices.
Judge Robert T. Daniels of Grif
fin was elected Grand Sire, Hon.
John B. Goodwin of Atlanta was
elected Grand Secretary and
Hon. John A. Hyndes of Atlanta,
was appointed Grand Marshal,
of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of
world.
This is a distinguished honor
to Georgia Odd Fellowship. No
other state or territory has ever
been thus honored by the order
in its history, and Georgia has
just cause to feel proud of this
distinguished honor.
The Grand Master deems it a
befitting occasion to celebrate,
therefore he has called a meet
ing of the rank and file of the
membership of the order in this
state for Oct. 30, at Taft Hall in
Atlanta, for a general celebra
tion. The three distinguished
officers, together with the offi
cers of the Grand Lodge wili be
present and receive and enter
tain all who attend the meeting.
A splendid program will be ar
ranged for the occasion, and it is
estimated that several thousand
Odd Fellows will be present On
this occasion. It is proposed that
the railroads be ask to give a
special low rate for the rouuhd
trip and by this means all mefn-
bers of the order will be able' to
make the trip at a very reason
able expense.
Division Deputy B. M. Zang-
■ will of the Second Division is us
ing his best efforts to arrange
for a large attendance from this
Division and it is hoped that
many members will take advan
tage of the opportunity and join
in this great meeting, —Thomas-
ville Press.
To Oir Readers
Every family in this county are
now subscribers to various maga
zines and newspapers. The to
tal amount of money paid 1 for
these publications probably
amounts to several thousand dol
lars annually. It is money well
spent, of course, because we
must have something for the
family to read.
But if you can save about sev
enty-five per cent of this money,
and still have all the papers and
magazines you want, it is worth
considering, is it not?
We have made arrangements
whereby we can save this com
munity hundreds of dollars by
merely ordering their reading
matter through our office. Or
best offer is a choice of any three
of forty magazines, arranged in
36 clubs in combination with our
own paper for only 81.25 a year.
You will find this big offer ad
vertised on another page of this
paper. Look up the advertise
ment and read all about this re
markable offer. Select the club
you like best, and send us your
order right in—mail it, telephone
it, or bring it to us, and we will
fix it up at once so that you get
your magazines.
If there is anything in the ad
vertisement you do not under*
stand, drop into our office some
time and let us explain all about
it. It’s the best clubbing offer
>ve have ever seen, and we are
anxious to have every reader
take advantage of it.
