FORMALLY OPENED THE NEW
CLUB ROOMS WITH BRIL
LIANT AFFAIR FRIDAY.
The Davis-Daniel Post of the Amer
ican Legion formally opened their club
rooms on the third floor of the Bald
win building Friday evening at 8:30
o'clock, with a housewarming.
The boys, with their guests, assem
bled at the appointed hour and the fol
lowing program was rendered: “Star
Spangled Banner,” by the orchestra;
address of welcome by Carl E. Mel
ton; “America,” by the assembly; in
troduction of the speaker, by E. Erle
Cocke, commander of the local post;
address by Major James A. Fort, of
Americus, state commander of the
Georgia division of the American Le
gion; “Marseillaise,” by the orchestra.
The guests retired for refreshments,
which had been prepared by the ladies.
Sandwiches and punch were served in
the reception room.
The ladies then gathered in the as
sembly hall for the purpose of organ
izing a Terrell county unit of the Wo
man’s Auxiliary of the American Le
gion, mothers, wives, daughters and
sisters of the white ex-service men
being eligible for membership. The
organization was perfected with Mrs.
Guy Chappell as president, Miss Ruth
Mathis as secretary and Mrs. J. M.
McNulty treasurer. This auxiliary
will have another meeting Tuesday af
ternoon at five o'clock in the Legion
club rooms, at which time many im
portant phases of the organization will
be discussed.
After the auxiliary was organized
the .guests retired to the dance hall for
the remainder of the evening. Music
was furnished during the evening by
Horton orchestra, of Eufaula. The
club rooms were comfortably crowded,
and but for the unfavorable weather
which prevailed most of the day stand
ing room would have been at a pre
mium. The rooms were artistically
decorated in the national colors by
Messrs. W. R. Ground and D. J. Mize.
The local post has the honor of be
ing the first to be visited by State
Commander Fort, and he seemed much
impressed with the interest being ta
ken by the boys. According to Mr.
Fort the Davis-Daniel Post is one of
the leading posts in the state. The
post is named for J. B. Davis, of Sas
ser, and John Willis Daniel, son of J.
J. Daniel, of this city. Davis died in a
hospital in New York, and Daniels
died while “over there,” but his re
mains now rest in Cedar Hill ceme
tery, having been brought home not
so many months ago. The following
are the officers of the post: E. Erle
Cocke, post commander; Wm. T.
Christopher, vice commander; Carl W.
Varner, adjutant; Bill W. Hanson, fi
nance officer; Dr. L. Lamar chaplain
and Carey Melton historian. The ex
ecutive committee is as follows: W.
R. Melton, chairman; Henry S. Jen
nings, Dr. Guy Chappell, John Henry
Crouch and George McNeill
The club rooms will be open at all
times and the boys will welcome any
one who may desire to visit them.
They consist of a reception room, a
library and an assembly hall, located
on the third floor of the Baldwin build
ing. All ex-service men are urged to
become members of the post if they
have not already joined, and be bud
dies together. It is the intention of
the members to make the Davis-Dan
iel post 100 per cent, or in other words
have every white ex-service man of
the county a member.
Miss Sarah Jane Lovejoy, of Lov
ells Corners, is in town for a short
visit. Be sure to see her at Palace
Theatre Tuesday, August 2nd.
