Dear Mr. Alexander:
The movement to “erect a mon
ument to the soldier boys who
were called into service during
the great war” should meet with
the hearty approval and generous
sympathy of all the patriotic citi

their last full measure of devotion
to Humanity’s detense.
A memorial building for public
service would fill an urgent need
in our county and would “carry
on” the spirit and purpose of
those in whose honor it is erected.
It would serve both as a perpetual
memorial to those whom we love
to honor and also as a perptual
benefaction to those whom we de
light to serve.
I commend the movement heart

His moving picture apparatus will
be the most modern, he will also
have a piano and if eventually,
the business permits, will engage
an orchestra. He will show the
newest and best pictures obtain
able, and from time to time will
present some of the Reel Big Pic
tures of the future to compare
favorably with any of the motion
picture houses of Atlanta.
This will be good news to the
amusement-loving population of
McDonough, and “the movies”
will be accorded a warm welcome
by them.
