MEMORIAL BUILDING FOR
HENRY COUNTY BOYS
1
An appeal has already been made through the columns of this
paper by Federation of Women’s Clubs and U. D. C’s. of Henry coun
ty to citizens of the county to form a Memorial Association for the
purpose of erecting a Memorial Building to the boys of Henry county
who were called into service during the war.
The city council of McDonough has generously given a lot for
this Memorial Building. That we may know more fully the sentiment
of the people concerning this method of showing our appreciation for
the sacrifices made by these brave, gallant young men and of thus
honoring both the living and dead, we would be glad to secure ex
pressions from all our patriotic citizens.
If your heart is in the movement, please sign the following cou
pon, clip it out and send to Mr. George Alexander, Publicity Director:
I fully approve of the formation of a Memorial Association for the
purpose of commemorating the sacrifices made by our Henry county
boys during the war, and believe that we should erect a serviceable
building as the best means of showing our love and appreciation.

Bible Class Supper a
Delightful Affair
One of the happiest and most
thoroughly enjoyable occasions
that could be imagined, was the
oyster supper at the Brown House
(Thursday night of last week, got
! ten up for the Men’s Bible Class
of the Methodist Sunday School.
About sixty ine.i were present,
including nearly every member of
the class, with a few specially in
vited guests.
The best idea of the nature of
the entertainment may be had from
the following neatly printed in
vitation :
“Boy howdy! Glad to see you.
Bring a smile and come to supper
at the Brown House Nov. 6, 1919,
7 to 10 p. m., with the Men’s Bible
Class. Menu : Oysters more
oysters—and then some —business
—coffee. Music. Desert: Speech
es fun, choice of either one. At
tire—anything but a grouch. Big
welcome.'’
After a royal feast of oysters
and accompaniments, Rev. H. C.
Emory assumed the role of toast
master, calling upon various guests
for speeches, a veritable “feast of
reason and flow of soul” follow
ing, with numerous happy hits.
After transacting routine busi
ness, electing officers, etc., a mo
tion was adopted making the oc
casion an annual affair, which was
amended by Mr. John Rodgers, a
Big White Elephant Sale.
On November 21 and 22 there
will be a big “white elephant
sale” in Mr. Howard Carmichael’s
store beginning at ten o’clock
Friday a. m. and continuing thru
Saturday p. m. under the auspices
of the U. D. C’s.
The proceeds from this sale will
be used in the building that is to
be erected in memory of the Hen
ry county soldiers who fought in
the late war.
Not only will “white elephants”
be sold, but almost everything
else. Delicious refreshments will
be served each afternoon, such as
sandwiches of all kinds, hot drinks
and other delicacies.
There will be something at this
sale that will interest everybody.
Don’t fail to come and see for
yourself.
