ANOTHER MCDONOUGH
JJDY HONORED
Following the popular appoint
ment of Miss Bess Fouche to he
Clerk of the Superior Court of
Henry county, comes the news
from Atlanta that the Governor
has appointed Mrs. Hugh J. Jur
ner, of McDonongh as member of
the Board of Trustees of the Sixth
District Agricultural School locat
eJ at Barnesville. Mrs. Turner is
one of the most popular and talent
ed young women in the county,
and has had much experience in
school matters. It goes without
saying that she will make an effi
cient and faithful member of this
important Board, and reflect much
credit upon our county.
It has become a settled cnnvic
tion with our people that women
not only make school teachers,
but that they are also peculiarly
fitted for service on the school
boards, and the Governor is en
titled to the gratitude of the peo
ple of the state for hfs recognition
of this fact, as well as for the
splendid judgement shown in his
selection of those upon whom he
has bestowed these appointments.
LOVELY LUNCHEON
One of the most brilliant social
affairs of the season was the
elegant luncheon given at the
home of Mrs. of James M. Car

A. Lifsey, Armstrong and Lewi?
from- Barnesville, E. A. Stephens,
J. R. Sims, Hugh Carmichael, B.
E. Horton and Patiilo from At
lanta. About fifty guests were
invited to meet the visitors.
The lovely home was a veritable
bower of early spring blossoms,
showing their lovely tints every
where and filling the rooms with
thmr delicate fragrance.
The dining room was notably
beautiful in yellow. The table,
with its handsome lace cover had
for a center decoration a mirror
plateun on which sat a large silver
flower basket tied with yellow
tulle and filled with a mass of
butter cups and jonquils. Sur
rounding this were lovely crystal
bud vases holding yellow flowers
and alternating with silver cald
' <0,1? #
lestick containing yellow lighted
tapers which cast a soft radiant
glow over the festive scene.
The pleasure of the day was
completed by playing delightful
games of Rook during the after
noon.

OUARTET IN KHAKI
AND OTHER STARS
GHIEJ4B CONCERT
The Army Four, Twenty-second
infantry vocalists from Fort Mc-
Pherson, Ga., assisted by Miss
Glennis Austin, unusually fine
soprano, and Sergeant George J.
Ryan, popular radio baritone and
impresario will be the splendid at
traction billed to entertain WSB’s
trans continental audience Friday
night at the radiowl hour.
The military quartet is making
its debut at WSB and advance an
nouncements concerning the abil*
itv of the outfit could hardly be
worded too favorably. In the
Army Four are James W. Everett,
lead; Wilbur Cawthorn, tenor;
John H. Beaulieu, baritone, and
Waymon Barnett, basso, all of G
company. Aside from splendid in
dividual voices, the foursome has
worked out a routine of ensemble
singing that would easily qualify
them for the vaudeville or concert
stage. Thev are thorough musi
cians as well and base their har
monies on a oomplete understand
ing of the requirement of the acL
Miss Austin likewise is a new
comer to The Journal’s mammoth
audience. Her charm and person
ality will add exactly the touch
needed to put life and variety into
the broadcast, and her part in
several duets will likely standout
brilliantly.
As for Sergeant Ryan, the Fort
McPherson baritone has starred
before the wireless public in the
role of soloist *»nd director on nu
merous occasion. He has been an
invaluable ally for furthering the
success af “Army Night” as an
American institution and his pro
gressiveness has weighed heavily
in bringing Uncle Sam’s big post
in Atlanta closer to the civilian
world.
The above Journal write-up is
about a male quartet stationed at
Fort McPherson, who has made
possible this famous army quartet.
Our Henry County Waymon Bar
nett. He has been made pipe or
ganist for army chapel and other
religious services. One of the pop
ular theaters, of Atlanta, is trying
to make arrangements, we learn
to use this quartet regularly. This
quartet is under the direction of
Waymon and they sing some of
his own Compositions. I feel sure
that all the singers and friends of
this gifted boy are glad to learn of
his accomplishments and shall
watch with personal interest to
see him continue to climb i r 4 he
musical world.
By tht way, this quartet will ar
range to come to Henry County
on some Sunday afternoon singing
if notified in time.
Success to you Waymon.
Your friend,
T. J. Horton.
