In Memoriam
In memory of Harold Ellis, who
left this earth four years ago, the
10th day of February.
We have lost our dear son and
brother, shall
He no more on this earth
roam,
And there’ll never be another to
take his place at home,—
Harold's life was true and faith
ful
And his heart was filled with love,
Trusting Jesus as his Saviour till
he joined him up above,—
Some day we shall go to meet him
Where there’ll be no good-byes
I can think of nothing Sweeter
■than our meeting in the skies
O Harold, how we miss you
But no more on earth you roam
Some sweet day we will all be with
you
In that bright eternal home.
PAPA and MAMMA,
HUGH, CHRISTINE and
INA.

Ezra Hawkins Writes
Letter to H. A. Casey
Mingling Junction,
February 22, 1935.
Dear Hiram
Sum time ago I wus goin down
to Rutledge and just below whar
Aubrey Ewings lives I saw a rabbit
goin cross the cotton patch run
nin fur all he wus worth and rite
Behind him wus a hound dog. B4
tha got out uv sight I could
the dog wus loosing the race.
The dog wus bigger and had
longer legs than the rabbit bult
tha boith had different reasons
for runnin. U C the dog wus
just runnin for his dinner and the
rabbit was running for his life.
If the weather we hav had for
the last several days will keep up
for awhile the cotton field I saw
as well as all others in the county
will B changed soon. A guano
distributor and planter will take
the place uv a hound dog and
rabbits in the field.
Just here, Hiram, I would like
to mention if U R goin 2 need
either uv the above mentioned im
plements this iseason it will B
worth your time 2 see (the line
uv planters and distributors built
by the Cole Manufacturing Co.
Take for instance, ithe Distributor
built by these people. It is strong
er and more durable than those
built by the average. lit is driven
by an iron wheel that is much
more durable than wooden wheels.
Norris Hardware Company whar
me and Mandy do our tradin hav
sold these distributors for year
and years, The wearin parte are
made more durable than the aver
age distributors Tha cum in
both the chain drive and knocker
style.
Take the planter built by these
people. I believe T? will find
more farmers (that consider them
the best than any other planter
on the market, They are built
in several styles’.

Georgia should take full advant
age o>f the possession of such a
spot as this for those who made
so many sacrifices for the cause
of the Confederacy. The home
has been used for many years and
it has done very fine work in
caring for indigent veterans. It
is now too big a building to be
continued in use for the veterans
only. Women who because of
their aseoeiation with the Confed
erate caftse as wives or daughters
or sisters of the men who follow
ed Lee and Jackson, should be
given such care and comfort as
a home of this character can
supply.
Let the Senate approve the ac
tion of the House in opening this
asylum to the women of the Con
federacy.

works relief bill ae drawn up by
Senator Richard B. Russell in
Washington Monday was adopted
by .the enate the same afternoon,

ATTRACTIONS AT
RITZ THEATRE
The colorful costumed, rapier
weilding, leaping, laughing Doug
las Fairbanks of old will return
to the screen of the Ritz Theatre
in Porterdale this coming Monday
and Tuesday nights in what is
generally conceded to be one of his
greatest pictures.
“The Private Life of Don Juan”
Doug’s first film in two years, is
one of those gay, romantic come
dies in which the athlettic etar
scored his greatest successes. It
was produced by the same people
gave us “The Private Life of
1 Henry VIII” and “Catherine the
Great,” and it is not extravagant
praise to say that “Don Juan” is
not only the moet pretentious of
fering of these producers but the
best plcture Doug has ever made
as wen.
Lavishly mounted and produced
with infinite care, the film is a
feast of beauty and color. Every
foot is chock full of entertain
ment and Doug is utterly
ful as the matchless lover who
loses his name and reputation
when a young gallant who has
been successful impersonating him
is killed by a jealous husband.
Enormously amused at the idea
thajt all feminine Spain has gone
into mourning over him, Don Juan
enjoys tl\e unique experience of
attending his own funeral, and
then takes advantage of this op
portunity to go into retirement
incognito to eat and sleep with no
thought of his looks or figure.
However, when he attempts to
use his old wiles on a pretty bar
maid and she demands a pair of
earings, he quickly calls in his
masseur and trains down to hie
old weight. But still he can not
succeed with the ladies who laugh
the very idea of his being Don
Juan. Finally, utterly disillusion
ed, he admits defeat and returns
to his wife.
Tim glamorous Merle Oberon is
strikingly lovely ae Pepilla the
dancer and whom Don loved.
Benita Hume is excellent as Don’s
pretty wife, and Binnie Barness
shines as the barmaid and sings
charmingly a special number en
titled “The Sun Came Up In the
Morning.”
