Mr and Mrs. Marsh Lott, Fred,
and Snig, made a sightseeing tour
of South Carolina which they re
port was very enjoyable. And by
the way, htey say Mr. Marsh
erally enjoyed “Gone With The
Wind" if laughs prove anything.
Mr. and Mrs. Emory Smith and
children, Doris Williams and Em
ma Cannon spent last Sunday in
Eatonton. Doris: She wanted Em
ma to meet some friends, took her
to a house and knocked and
knocked-and finally they discov
ered it to be an empty house! Who
were your friends, Doris—ghosts,
maybe?
THie Epworth League enjoyed
a picnic on Stone Mountain last
Sunday. Especially Aileen Morton,
Cooter Payne, George Hopkins and j
Totsy Brown—for they had a nice
table “all to themselves!”
Those :
R°y popular twins, Ray arid,'
Sorrells brought their Avon
dale girls to the picnic. And Julius :
Johnson says there was one boy;
who let his girl buy her own ice :
cream !
Mary Worsham, from Hampton
was visiting here last week-end
taking part in the Indian Spring- >
picnic on Saturday evening.
Cecil Collins is a * full of sur

The Y. W. A.’s will meet Fri

mans. Last Wednesday night they
enjoyed a wiener supper with Mr.

Emma Cannon and Estelle Walls
were the chaperones for the oc
casion.
Gladys Cannon celebrated her
birthday last Sunday with a spe
cial dinner. Those nr-sen! beside
the family were Leona Clark.
Troy Kendricks, and Herbert,
Smith.
T. W. Blair and girl friend were
window shopping early Saturday
morning! Come now, I. W., what
goes on?
Confusion is reigning in the
wage raise situation! John Bentley
says he is sure of a raise for he is
already receiving charge accounts
from Atlanta department stores,
Which reminds us—Byron (Pete)
Niblett possesses an invitation to
open a charge account addressed
to Mrs - H B Niblett! Does this
mean that Pete bas already or is
about to succumb to the lure of
matrimony? Cooter Payne is
teachin « “little Cooter” to drive
the car—but that does not keep
him from driving all the way to
town in second gear, and very
much unaware of the fact!
H. A. Walls'is using his car to
knock brick pillars from under
houses!
We wonder: Why Fred Lott is
expecting a "blessing out” in a
letter from his girl friend? Who
Doc Brown was courting Satur
day night? If Carrie Dean and
Red have made up for good this
time? If Edna and Sam are get
ting serious again?
What kind of endurance record
Lanier Kitchens and girl friend
have set?
Why Herbert Smith broke a
date with his girl Sunday night?
Who Buddy Cain and
Julius Johnson go to see in So

Why Bessie Claudia's sweetie
thought her name was “Regina?”
Why Buster Hilley gets his name
in the Thomaston paper so often?
Why a certain fellow got mar

MEMORIES
Last Sunday was a day set aside
as a day that we call Mother's Day,
and we gather from that, that we
should pay special homage to her,
that we should remember her in
every way possible to make her
happy, in an impressive way try
ing to let her know that we are
aware of the trials and tribula
tions through which she has come,
and that we are not trying to re
pay her, but only trying to bright
en the pathway that leads to One
and the only One who can
the Starry Crown upon her head
which she is entitled to wear.
We listened in all day Sunday
I over the radio, and it was one
tribute after another, telling of the
many ordeals through which she
j has been forced to pass. We are
sure every bit that was said was
true and more besides.
i
| to
. ^ suffering . Did fath er come
home with too much booze, or did
i some of the children disobey her
i or did all Of them go away from
! home to have a big time, and leave
work for her to do. Now
that is ,,’hy we hear so much ab,
j Mottle Somebody has a guilty
! conscie. ee, and thinks by lettinp
the world near what great things
he has to say about one who per
haps has already passed on, don’t
you think he waited too late, ar
i arr a f ra i d that is the way with •
lot of what we hear.
It fell to my lot this week-end
g 0 j n j 0 a home where there wa.
one of the g 0(X j 0 j d tj me Mothers
I mean by saying old time one
who raised a family of thm
daughters and five sons all to
manhood and womanhood and to
see the devotion of those children
as they tried to comfort her as sh<
looked for the last time upon the
face of her beloved companion,
one could readily see that there
had been an influence in that home
:hat caused these children to hon- l
or F – ther and Mother, the way the
precious Book teaches.
We hear so much these days
about everything that is offered to
ihe public either for sale or any
thing, it matters not how it is ob
tamed,-being streamlined, trains,
cars, and even dresses are stream
lined. 1 wonder if some of the
mothers of today are not tainted
just a little bit with this disease, if
I may call it that. In other words
it is making things over and mak
ing them look different. I am not
going to say what makes the moth
ers of today look different to those
of yesteryears, but if anyone can
see a t k e needs no one to ex
plain.
me ma t* e rs not how
lhey dress or iook they are th .
same at hearti love and devotion
as those who have gone on before!
and may we aJ1 be spared to ce] _
ebrate many more Mother’s Days. !
The numbers of our phones will
be changed in a few days as soon
as we know what they are we will
call the attention of our friends
and readers of “MEMORIES.”
