Older Roys’ Conference. The Older Boys’ Conference was held at the Y. M. C. A. build ing in Atlanta December 1,2, 3, 1916. There were 323 delegates from 22 different schools of Geor gia; also some from other States: Mississippi, Tennessee,.South Car olina, and North Carolina. The services began Friday eve ning, 7:45 p. m., on time, after an interesting visit to the Federal prison. Officers were elected at the first meeting: President, Mr. Fred E. Smith, senior of Locust Grove district; vice president, Mr. Davison of Augusta; secretary, Mr. White of Atlanta. The meetings were well worth while. Every boy, I think, was on time, and enjoyed deep down in their hearts the messages the speakers brought to us. The speakers consisted of Mr. \V. ,J Milner of Atlanta, Mayor-elect Asa G. Candler, Prof. W. A. Sutton o! Atlanta, Mr. C. C. Menzler of Ten nessee, Mr. W. 13. Godfrey of Mis sissippi, and Mr. McDonald of At lanta. Every boy Jiad the opportunity to see the Boys High and Tech game free Saturday afternoon, and most of them witnessed the games. A group of all the delegates was made Saturday morning in the rear of the tabernacle. The conference banquent was held in the Y. M. C. A. building Saturday, 7:00 p. m., of which everybody shared their part of something good to eat, while music was made by the band. From our school, L. G. 1., there were 25 delegates present, and am sure everyone feels benefited. Several telegrams came to us while there, wishing us a success ful meeting; but the one most gladly received was from our President, Woodrow Wilson. The last meeting was held in Broughton’s Tabernacle Sunday night, beginning at 8 o’clock. The leaders of all the schools had the privilege to testify, and tell how much they had accomplished while there. The last address was by Mr. Blake W. Godfrey of Mississippi, after which all the delegates lined up around the aisles, joined hands and sang “Blessed Is the Tie That Binds.” Just after the adjourn ment baptizing took place in the same building by the p istor of Broughtcn’s Tabernacle. We are sure everyone present came away more determined to do better work for the Y. M. C. A. in the future. DELEGATE.

CASTOR l A For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Signature of Subscription Notice. On the first of January it will be necessary to raise the subscrip tion price of The Weekly to $1.50. We have done our best to pre vent the increase, and sincerely regret to do so, but the high cost of paper and all materials at last compel the change. Blank paper now costs more than double what The Weekly paid in the early spring, and numbers of the week ly papers made the raise in Sep tember. Mr. A. C. Oglesby has agreed to see as many of our subscribers personally between now and .Jan uary first as possible, and all who desire to do so can pay a year in advance at the old price of $1 00. We hope as many as possible will take advantage of the opportunity, and assure you that as soon as conditions return to normal The Weekly will be only too glad to resume formal dollar schedule. We trust and believe our readers will appreciate the necessity which impels the situation. Mr. Oglesby is author ized to receipt for any amounts, and all favors shown him will have the full appreciation of The Weekly.
