THE HEY. RAYMOND BROWNING
Who will begin a protcracted meet
ing here on Sunday, April 13th, comes
to us with the highest commendations
He has assisted pastors in all parts
of our nation, and with the most grat
ifying results.
If the Christian people of Waynes
boro will rally to him with their pres
ence and prayers, as I believe they,
will we will have a gracious manifes
tation of Divine power long to be re
membered. The hours for service as
announced will remain until further
notice.
J. P. McFERRIN.
—Mrs. A. W. Carswell and sons were
the guests of Mrs. Robert Law, at Hern
don, Sunday. Mrs. Law’s flower garden is
thing of beauty now and worth driving
miles to see and enjoy. One corner was
specially attractive. An immense bush
of Lady Banksia roses overhung a bush of
old-fashioned lilacs, while nestling under
the lilac bush was a pale pink rose in
lull bloom. The buff, lilac and pink colors
harmonized perfectly and made a beauti
rul picture in a beautiful frame, as ’twere.
Just a few weeks ago the garden was
like a brilliant yellow carpet of daffodils,
jonquils and narcissi.
—Mr. W. H. Wilson has purchased
an interest in the mercantile business
of E. H. & F. H. Blount. This is one
of the livest firms in the city, and has
rapidly forced its way to the front.
They do a general mercantile and cot
ton business and their courteous treat
ment of patrons is being appreciated
by all who trade there. The addition
of Mr. Wilson, who is an experienced
cotton buyer adds more “pep” to this
firm. We are gladt to chronicle the
growth of such a splendid concern.
—Waynesboro needs more residen
ces to accommodate the new citizens
that are now in town and others who
desire to become citizens. A number
of families are housed in cramped
quarters waiting for houses. One fam
ily came to town Thursday, and could
not secure house or rooms, and have
secured a tent and pitched it in the
baseball park. How can our city
grow if some one who can does not
build homes for those who must have
them.
—A party motoring to Augusta Friday
afternoon for the baseball game between
the A. R. C. and Johnston teams was
composed of Mrs. A. W. Carswell, Misses
Sara Applewhite and Bessie Louise
Chandler, and Messrs. William Fulcher
and Hugh McCathern. John Wright Cars
well, an old Waynesboro high boy, is cap
tain of the A. R. C. team, and his friends
went up to boost him. The game was
called on account of rain.
—A most delightful occasion of last
week was the surprise shower given Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Reynolds, Jr., at their
charming new bungalow. The neighbors
gathered at Mrs. R. M. McMaster s nearby
and proceeded to storm the citadel of the
newly-weds with all kinds of home-made
preserves, pickles, jellies, canned vege
tables and fruits, cakes, etc. It was a
genuine surprise, but none the less appre
ciated for that reason.
—I have some bargains in cars—Ford,
Chevrolet, Dodge, Studehcker, Buick,
Page, Maxwell,—all in first-class shape.
Trade with me and save money. FRANK
S. PALMER—ad.
NEW CROP CANE SYRUP.

cent Pure Cane Syrup, shipped from the

DELIGHTFUL MEETING OF
W. C. T. U. LAST THURSDAY
Thursday afternoon, at the residence of
Mrs. George P. Kilpatrick, was held one of
the most enthusiastic, as well as instruc
tive, meetings of the W. C. T. U. in some
t me. The occasion was the launching
of the million-dollar drive that the W. C.
T. U. has put on, and Mrs. Lilia A. Dillard,
our splendid state president, presented
the movement in a qjost attractive man- j
ner. A delightful program was rendered.
“Home’s Love Light” was beautifully
sung by Mesdames Charlie Evans and
C. H. Cox, accompanied by Mrs. Percy
Boyd, while the closing song, “Mission-,
ary’s Farewell,” by Mrs. Dade Durden, |
was a gem enjoyed by all.
Mrs. Dillard spoke of the importance of
this drive in connection with the centen
ary movement so forcibly that over S3OO
was voluntarily subscribed at the meet
ing, while the members hope to make it
a thousand. Georgia’s quota is $12,900,
which has already been pledged by
twenty-four organizations, with seventy
five yet to be heard from. Waynesboro’s
society is one of the livest in the state,
and doubtless will measure up fully at
the final reckoning. There were several
new members and subscribers to the
Union Signal added Thursday afternoon. (
Delicious refreshments were served.
DEATH OF MR. GEO. W. GODBEE.
Mr. Geo. W. Godbee, a prominent
citizen of Sardis, died at a hospital in
Savannah on the 2d inst., where he went
to undergo an operation, from which he
never recovered on account of his weak- <
ened condition. He was about 58 years
of age and was a faithful member of St.
Marks church near Sardis for many years,
and the interment was in that church- j
yard, conducted by Rev. Mr. Jordan,]
former pastor of that charge. He was a j
member of Alexander Masonic Lodge and
also Ira Lodge, K. of P., at Girard, and
the Masons were in charge of the burial
ceremonies.
Mr. Godbee is survived by his wife
Mrs. Lula Godbee; two daughters, Mrs.
Annie Jenkins and Miss Alma Godbee,
three brothers, M. F, W. B. and L. M.
Godbee; four sisters, Mrs. Ben Broxton of
Sardis, Mrs. C. J. Godbee of Girard, Mrs
Wm. Royal, of Jenkins county, and Mrs.
Joe Bailey, of Sardis.
Mr. Godbee was a good citizen in every
way, and not only his family, but his
entire community and Burke county has
lost a good and true citizen. The bereaved
family have the sincerest sympathy in
their loss.
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
This has been senior week. They
began it Monday with a trip to Augusta ,
to have the class picture made. They
were guests of Mr. Lance at the Hotel
Albion for dinner. They spent the after
noon in looking over the city. Capt. Ful
cher was kind enough to carry the whole
bunch in his car to Augusta. It was a
delightful day for all concerned.
On Friday morning, each member of
the class was formally introduced to the
school. Alter that they were given a
holiday and the class tree exercises were
held Friday night.
We are glad to announce that Dr. John
ston has consented to preach the com
mencement sermon for us this year. He
has been in Waynesboro only a short
while, but is regarded as an able preacher
by all who have heard him.
The following representatives of the
school wiil go to Statesboro to the con
test: Bessie Louise Chandler, recitation,
John J. Cox, declamation; Perry Sullivan >
ready writer; Mamie Tinley, music; Don
ald Beckwith, pole vault.
Some of the teachers will go.
HEARD FROM THEIR SON
It will be pleasant news to the
friends of the family to hear that Mr.
and Mrs. S. A. Herrington, of Sardis,
have heard from their son,
1 Ezekiel Herrington. This is
, first news they have had of him in
i nine months. He joined the army in
1916, and is now in Siberia fighting
the Bolsheviki.
