‘WE COMING"
DAY WAS SUCCESS
LARGE CROWD GATHERED THERE
AND AN ELEGANT DINNER WAS
SERVED—LARGE NUMBER OF
PROMINENT PEOPLE PRESENT.
Mr. Editor:
“Home Coming Day” in Conyers
last Thursday was a decided success
The committee and citizens did every¬
thing to make the visitors have a good
time and they had it. The children
were made happy hy being furnished
with horns, and other noise making
toys. Headquarters was nicely fitted
up, where you registered and were tag¬
ged. And such hand shakings, renew¬
ing of acquaintances, and meeting of
old friends. “The boys” who had left
Conyers were represented. Many of
them have won positions and made rep¬
utations of which the county may well
be proud. The secret of their success
has been largely due to the fact that
the city had five churches, the most of
the people belonged to one or the other,
attended services, kept up good Sunday
Schools, endeavored to train the child¬
ren in the way they should go. early
banished bar rooms, and to all else was
added the daily example of so many
good men.
Afte r the speeches were delivered,
everybody was invited to the old acad¬
emy grounds, where an elegant, am¬
ple and sumptous dinner awaited them.
When all were satisfied T think more
than “twelve basketfuls” remained.
The people deserve thanks for their
abundant hospitality, and the com¬
mittee is to be eotanrgetaoinshrdluoin
mittee is to be congratulated upon
their success. It was a day of pleas¬
ure long to be remembered.

THE COVINGTON NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9,1915.
RED, WHITE AND BLUE WERE
MASONIC COLORS LONG AGO
Atlanta. JuneS.—That red, white and
blue, were the symbolic colors of the
Masonic order long before they became
the official emblem of the Land of the
Free, is the interesting statement made
by L. D. Smith in the current issiue of
the Annuity Messenger, published here.
“Before our nation was, before our
country was ever known,” he says,
“the red, white and blue had their Ma¬
sonic meaning. To the blue from all
time has been ascribed a certain de¬
finite meaning of friendship or truth;
the color of blue has always been and
still is the foundation color of our first
degrees.
“To red from all times lias been as
cribed the meaning of fire, martyrdom
and regeneration, from which we get
its Masonic meaning of zeal and or¬
der. It is the color of the Royal Arch.
“White has ever been the emblem
among all ages of purity, and it has
always held its meaning in Masonry.”
The Annuity Messenger, in which
thes<» interesting statements are made
by Mr. Smith, is the official organ of
the Masons’ Annuity, the organization
which looks after the widows and or¬
phans of deceased Masons. It has
paid out annuities amounting to over
$585,000 and lias assets of over $820,
000 .

The South WiH Feed Herself
CROM this year on, the South will
*• plant an increased acreage of small
grains. Planting, of course, means grain harvest¬
ing. Even though the field is small — not more
than ten acres — the binder will save enough of
the grain ordinarily wasted with the cradle to
make it pay.
If you have grain in, now is the time to con¬
sider buying a McCormick binder, the oldest
and in many ways the best of the lot.
Come in and talk it over with us.
